Chip fab locations have traditionally had more political than economic importance. Matrix multiplication chips and RAM have been the recent exception, while TSMC has long been the geopolitical exception. ASML's location only matters to

I agree with everything you wrote. I'd like to add the pyramid angle. Fancy mansions have always been overpriced. For property prices to grow faster than inflation, the pyramid needed to grow its bottom. Supply restrictionism was the t

Are we positively sure that WASM will prove to be more future-proof than 640K MS-DOS or WinXP, or SNES cartridge files for that matter? On 6/23/26 there are a lot of emulators that run these. Will WASM necessarily beat them on 6&#

Not anymore really, at least according to their preference. At a minimum, a capital T will prevent comedic errors like a head full of feathers. https://www.npr.org/2023/01/08/1147704945/the-state-departme
