I meant it in the sense it is used in economics not in the colloquial sense. If A cares enough about an issue and is willing to deal with the consequences and B does not then A wins and B loses. Everyons is willing to commit something for a

Well you presumably know what is in your portfolio or can find out if social issues are that important.

Interesting take. Here is my view: If the American consumers of Intel chips -- the people and government actors -- are unhappy with Intel's stance then they can also not buy their chips. This is basically what the Chinese are doing (wi

Keep in mind that institutional investors like index funds hold share on behalf of indvidual persons.

Which again goes to my point. People who care about Intel taking a stand against China should actually buy shares from the existing investors and make them. If no one wants to do that then what is all these kvetch about "capitalism&quo

I think the shareholders SHOULD take a stand, at Intel, Disney and other companies. The point I was making was that the power is in their hands, not management.

No one is saying that. They do what the shareholders want because that's who they legally work for. Shareholders can say screw China, take a stand and they will. They can't unilaterally say screw the shareholders we're going

Intel shareholders can now vote to ensure Intel takes a stand against China, if they choose. But it seems those individuals do not want that. So Intel is doing what it is supposed to do -- operate in accordance with wishes of the shareholde

If it wasn't desigend to be disabled it would be buried under multiple and multiple metal layers. You can't "cut" it like a wire. Metal layers run all over the place [1]. Therefore it would have a an e-fuse or a regular

"cuts" are almost always fuses that are blown by ATEs during wafer manufacturing or post packaging tests. It is a bit flip. There is no extra cost.

The power they have over the "corporate" entity is a function of what they have to offer relative to everyone else. A few decades ago when US corps made everything and the rest of the world bought them they could demand high payin

Taxing gains on sales of primary homes just leads to fewer homes for sale and higher prices. The only thing that correlates with the price change is months of available inventory in the market.

If people buy less stuff that's a drop in demand and an increase in supply translating to lower prices. If input costs like energy go up, which affect virtually every item, then that can lead to higher inflation because the aggregate s

I agree with your points but want to add that higher wages don't lead to high inflation directly. Higher spending does. If you have high wages and high savings it wouldn't lead to inflation in the same way that high wages and high

Pin size limits the available current. 48V @ 5A = 240W

the investors who get the money back through share buybacks can do that with the 77B. There is no reason for Tim Cook to be leading fusion research and everything else you listed.

Gate drivers are discrete parts and aren't integrated into microcontorllers because they require high voltages (12/24V vs 3.3V) amongst many other reasons. They also have to be located close to the IGBT and the designers would wan

You're right. Definitely a "hot" wafer for the engineering samples.

High voltage MOSFETs and IGBTs are built on a completely different process. Size is definitely not an issue with them. It is about exotic doping to create the desired characteristics. They're built using much larger feature sizes but o

A lot of chips are made on mature fab lines because they don't need the performance of 5nm lines or can't justify the mask costs. No one is investing in mature fab lines because they're not leading edge and they're being

The problem is a lot of the models you use are black box characterized models and not differential equations. I don't mean Julia won't speed things up a lot and won't be helpful but your point about modern sim tools using old

If you're serious about it then assume you can't be sure and plan your purchases around that.

Free markets don't work when the cost of the transaction isn't paid by the two sides of the transaction but by a third party. For example the environment where I can buy a gas guzzler from you and drive away polluting the environm

I entirely agree with you on the above!

I suppose it all depends on how you define market mechanisms. What I've found -- after personally studying the subject -- is what a lot of people consider free market is the opposite of what the literature considers it to be. To answer

Sure but that single payer has political motivations and sources of influence which ensure that won't happen. If concentration of power was good we'd just find a few wise persons to run the country and leave it all up to them. Oth
