Because most of the interesting solutions are alternatives. You have a strange focus just on bitcoin and not the larger crypto ecosystem.

Reminds me of some of my Indian coworkers at a previous job suggesting muslims deserve, basically, genocide. Also, a lot shit talking Gandhi. A lot of people are bringing over their baggage and I think it's getting worse as companies,

Doctors in the US make 2 to 3x what doctors in Asia make so thats not a good comparison. American schools are some of the best funded in the world so I'm not sure where the stereotype that teachers aren't appreciated enough comes

I think the review is meant to reflect the entire product, not just the app. That includes robinhood's service, they're not separate. And robinhood passed a lot of people off by restricting the buying of certain stock. The backlas

Shin-etsu chemical. You might have heard of them before, they're one of the largest chemical manufacturers in the world. Showa Denko KK, Kanto Denko Kogyo. There are more of course just some examples.

Applied Materials is a key player in semicom fabrication and it's American. There are also a handful of Japanese companies that hold virtual monopolies over key resources like fluorinated polyimide film, photoresists, and hydrogen fluo

Why are auto workers considered out? The UAW still has hundreds of thousands of members. I would consider it relatively successful, for its members anyway.

Security. Unions (and lobbies) aren't just about tangible and immediate benefits, they're a form of insurance against changing job markets and work forces. Again, not sure why you're so against it.

Somewhat agree. These are ultimately politically reactionary platforms. Not making a value judgment, but they're clearly geared at winning over conservatives to their platforms and are intended to be platforms for right wingers. That m

American software engineers should form a special interest group. Not sure why so many people are resistant to the idea. Lobbies too. Its strange that an otherwise left leaning demographic acts virtually conservative when it really counts t

The CDC, even after years of Trump's reign, is one of the best or the best funded organization of its kind. Iirc when they bungled the development of the covid test they had 100x the budget of Germany's Robert Koch Institute and p

Now more than ever they won't because they shuttered their CPU microarchitecture team. Mongoose is dead for good and they're using ARM's reference architectures, like Cortex X1 and A78.

Is the intention to disallow certain content or to protect users from certain content? Because if it's the latter I think just having user friendly blocklists would be sufficient. If it's the former then obviously decentralization

I don't think we necessarily disagree, I just want to address this. But to equate all right-wing speech with terrorism seems to be succumbing to a self-fulfilling prophecy while at the same time justifying the very actions you're

The practical reason is that people are extremely agitated and even if they're a fraction of the country that's still enough people for civil conflict. I think you're being a little dismissive of the fact that people are emot

The problem isn't that they have to build their own, to me it's clear they want to. The problem is that they feel they're being shut down or invaded or whatever, when they attempt to build their own services and communities.

They could build those things if they built their own society, which is what I fear the right will try to do one way or another. And I think our options are to split the country and manifest the divide early or wait for some sort of civil c

I honestly think just splitting the US off might be a better thing than marching blindly into worsening civil divide. We're at a point wherein either side winning the presidency is just riling up the other side. Biden literally represe

If anything this is adding value. I would assume most of these men were going to have little value in any society at any period of time, but increasingly less valuable as we go back in time. They were going to be disposable, at least now th

Gf had access to 7nm through the ip transfer from IBM. They chose not to build new facilities because they didn't see themselves competing at leading edge in the long term. They weren't very good at innovation. Their 14nm was lice

Cymer is the linchpin of ASML's leadership. Other litho machine developers like Canon and Nikon almost dropped out of the industry because they couldn't develop functional EUV light sources. ASML got around that by buying Cymer. A

ASML is heavily reliant on the IP of Cymer an American company they bought in the last decade. And a great deal of their R&D is in the US, including things like software, measurement systems and sensors, robotics and automation, and so
