Risks & Challenges
Global instability is the most significant risk to delivery. The design itself is vetted and working, and the supply chain is set up to pump out chips - just need to know how many to build. The following outcomes could greatly impact the timing of delivery:
* A world war, or a conflict in the East Asia region.
* Additional sanctions or tariffs on components originating from our suppliers.
* AI driving shortages in the supply chain. In particular, chip probe time is scarce; if AI providers preemptively buy out chip probe capacity, it could delay production schedules for months, even years.
* Natural disasters such as earthquakes hitting the fab cluster in Hsinchu
* A civil war in the United States would lead to unpredictable consequences in the supply chain
* A collapse of the US dollar between now and fulfillment would reduce the value of the funds raised, and thus make us unable to pay vendors and fulfill our obligations. In this case we would do a best-effort to fulfill the campaign but a devaluation event of greater than 25% on the USD within the intervening months would likely impact our ability to fill orders.

- robmccoll 7mo agoHow did we go from ho-hum status quo to burn it all down in the US? Especially when the ho-hum status quo was pretty great for the people in power?
- tw04 7mo agoWe elected a narcissistic millionaire who bankrupted every company he was ever in charge of. His primary concern while in office was becoming a billionaire, rewarding the Russians that bailed him out of several of those bankruptcies, and trying to punish anyone he felt wronged him. When the goal is to burn it down and you put people in charge who actively want to burn it down, they can. See: project 2025.
- jacquesm 7mo agoYou elected trump. Twice...
- tinfoilhatter 7mo agoYou're acting like every US president sans Martin van Buren hasn't been related / a descendant of King John Lackland of England.
- tinfoilhatter 7mo agoAlways getting downvoted for typing the inconvenient truth people don't want to read and or acknowledge. This website is just as bad as reddit in terms of enabling censoring of opinions that don't support the popular narrative (like America being a democratic nation where the people elect the president).
- BigTTYGothGF 7mo agoAre you sure you're not also a descendant?
- UltraSane 7mo agoBecause billionaires spent enormous amounts of money supporting him. Trump would not be president without Fox News.
- jacquesm 7mo agoAnd not without sloppy marksmanship, russia, the systematic destruction of education and a hundred other reasons. But in the end people actually had to go out and vote for him and that's the part that I have a problem with.
- Asooka 7mo agoThe status quo wasn't great for the ordinary people and the only offramp they had was clown world. Brexit should have been a hard lesson proving the people will vote against their own interest if they believe they are also voting for something harmful to the regime they despise.
- ecshafer 7mo agoPeople weren't voting against their own interest. They are voting against a system which they do not believe worked for them. Saying people vote against their own interest is saying that they aught to just shut up and listen. If you propose policy X and say it will be good for people, and they vote against X, then that is a moment of self-reflection on why people think X is not good for them. That attitude is exactly why people despise the regime above them.
- metabagel 7mo agoA lot of people vote for vibes, not policies. The mistake is in not giving them the vibe they are asking for.
- ecshafer 7mo agoLarge scale failure of the status quo for the common man. Between free trade agreements, de-industrialization, recurring perpetual wars, and failed social policies that punish working class people. People no longer believed in the status quo.
