- A4ET8a8uTh0 4y agoI have some bitter taste about that myself. First they offshore[1] to anywhere, but US, but the moment US makes it geopolitically risky, US recompenses Intel by offering massive incentives to re-shore. It is maddening. The worst part is, making chips is actually hard so there is a good and valid reason to actually do it, but I just hate rewarding bad behavior ( from US taxpayer's perspective ).

- totalZero 4y agoIt would be stupendously bad judgment to permit the semiconductor fabrication industry to exist with no redundancy whatsoever. Tail risk is ever present and the tails seem to be getting fatter every day.
