Yes. It was a matter of time because MOST 7 nm processes are still using older UV steppers which China already has. The trick is multi-patterning which is hard but merely requires some math, some programming, attention to detail and good c

The investors should have known better. They (e.g. George Shlutz, Henry Kissinger, etc.) primarily invested because they knew her father and it was a done deal due to their old-boy network. They got what they deserved when they failed to p

This is one of the many reasons why I NEVER buy any type of HW that requires a cloud account to even function. There is no sales pitch or value proposition so good that it can overcome this downside of Cloud/IoT in practice. I was loo

Apparently you buy it because you 1) can't hear the humidity sensor alarm built into the dryer already that already turns off the dryer, and/or 2) are a useless gadget cuck who can't go without having it on your smart phone.

The Epic Fail of the internet is that it gave people voices even when they are mentally ill or prone to criminality. Look at most of the worst of the internet today and you can distill all that down to these two things. Why was the early

Sigh - EPIC FAIL!! This method consumes both the aluminum and the gallium. OK but first consider how much energy is required to create aluminum. And to create gallium. Hint: it's FAR more than electrolysis which is far more than hydro

Don't take advice from the internet. Talk to a lawyer who has experience with business start-ups and is willing to consult with an immigration attorney if that ends up mattering. In general, having a Green Card making you the same as

As an engineer, I do NOT believe EVs can ever be viable. The thermodynamics doesn't work. The supply chains do not work for either energy or manufacturing. I will never buy an EV because of the engineering analysis of this.

Yes. And in any case, until a person is ready to take and heed advice, the advice given is nearly always wasted on that person. Usually being "ready" requires life experience and usually that life experience requires failure and

This is akin to: data vs. information vs. knowledge. Knowledge is information that happens to be at the right place at the right time aid with a particular context of process or need. Otherwise it's, at best, just information. Data v

Honestly such a job would not worth it. The company seems utterly without process or clear understanding of what/who they are trying to hire - basically incompetent. Why work for an incompetent company? I'd rather start my own c

Exactly. If you think "strategy" involves following a simple one-size-fits-all cookbook recipe, you are very deep in the weeks. Sadly that's pretty much what most MBAs get from their MBA program. Rather than the true lesson
