This makes me think, is it wise to build these places in regions with known earthquake trends.
Almost no earthquakes in Korea and Samsung fabs are also located in the most safe area within Korea.
- bobthepanda 3mo agoJapan itself is involved with a lot of the R&D, the factories are there because of that and because of major buyers also being there. It’s not like we’re going to evacuate the hundred million plus of Japan.

- ksec 3mo agoOH. I have long wondered why Arizona is a major semi conductor manufacturing hub.
- ulfw 3mo agoAnd then one would argue is it wise to build these places in regions with an ongoing neighbour dispute and a never officially ended war. There's no perfect optimisation for everything
- zuzululu 3mo agoAlways amuses me when I see people fret about the Korean war never ended, true on paper, but it's like being worried about Quebec militarizing and overthrowing Ottawa. A small micro odd that many would be happy to take your money
- ulfw 3mo agoPlease educate yourself about the Korea border. It's an actual real thing and has zero resemblance to Quebec/Ottawa
- zuzululu 3mo agoI am well educated on the topic, I'm pointing out your ignorance since you genuinely appear to be fearing a North Korean invasion and when the probability is as low as Quebec to rise up against Canada.
- ulfw 3mo agoI am such an ignorant idiot. You are right. God my ignorance. 1.3 MM North Korean soldiers, nuclear bomb. 500,000 standing troops South Korean forces. 28,000+ US troops station in South Korea. A demilitarized zone. All there for pure funsies and out of nothing but boredom. You are right. It's much better than Quebec's big riiiiiiiise against the evil English-speaking Canada... which... checks atlas... oh... Quebec is a part of? Wait... what? God if only I wasn't so ignorant!
