...and those did real damage to individuals. I'd say it's one thing for a large corporation to have certain things claimed against it and an entirely different thing for a giant news network going after individuals with complete

Welcome to most politics. Crime goes up, here's a new task force that has no teeth to make any real changes...but look we did something.

They can't afford one, doesn't mean they don't have one though. Salaries are stagnent compared to inflation yes...but thats average. If you look at the huge amount of retirees that exited the workforce over the past 2 years

Semiconductors used to be very cyclic...pre-2008. I would say demand has been extremely strong across most semiconductor products for at least the last 15 years now...with no real drop except maybe a tick in 2019 right before COVID hit.

Which sales? iPhone unit sales were flat the last 5 or 6 years...Mac sales too. Their service revenues started declining 12 months ago... They took advantage of being able to charge higher prices, but they certainly didn't do it on i

Not really...this bullwhip is not really created by customers but by each step of the supply chain increasing inventories as the supply chains had issues and it's not something you can just be organized about and avoid. Not to mention

Honestly this is not great efficiency. While getting more people of the road is great, the CO2e avoided per dollar is magnitiudes less than what can be done at the private company level. $4.77M for 2,040 MT CO2e reduced/avoided yearly

There is a potential for surplus in the food chain, but the logistics of transporting food from where it grows to where it is consumed leads to waste. The waste we have now may be considered low compared to a hundred years ago when we coul

Many things are done for the sake of growth at the expense of employees...however those employees generally get much higher salaries in exchange for that. There is a reason Google, Facebook and Apple are the huge companies they are...and t

$10M/yr = 50x $200K/yr Not paying him and getting sued for it would save about 50 jobs temporarily. Not "thousands"...

Exactly this. Financial situtions change but you still haven't to honor contracts that were signed. The 8K employees didn't have the same contracts as a long term spokesperson...that is not unusual at all...

> So far voters are not a fan. Correction...voters are a fan of more housing being built (affordable housing even), just not in their neighborhoods where it will negatively impact their property values and status quo.

I thought that insulin was the rapid one and not the long lasting one. I think a lot of people had put themselves into diabetic shock by using that one instead of the one they needed...because it was cheap. https://theconversati

Both of those were reasons given by the CEO of TSMC recently.

by j_walter 4y ago
Completely different animals. I know that when TSMC has looked at acquiring used fabs before and in at least one case because the fab was DRAM it was more costly and time consuming to convert it to Logic fab than just building a whole new

This is all pretty accurate. The only real surprise is that 40um tech and above are still running full steam and even the 20+ year old tech has only dropped a few percent for next year.

Keep it up. I'm hoping this project is something a novice grower could use to farm a few acres more easily. Would love to see more people turn extra acreage into sustainable farming.

Much of the power is used for keeping air clean with temperature and humidity controlled in a very tight range. More energy is used for water cooling, waste treatment and other facilities. The rest of the power is used for production tool

> We will prescribe drugs based on those self reports. Let's not get started about the US healthcare system and prescribing a drug for every possible condition. Lots of things can help those symptoms...not just drugs.

No...chips are made on Silicon. What is required to make them into semiconductors requires a lot of special metals, gases and other chemicals. They source those things from around the globe...including Ukraine for things like noble gases.

Nope...once all phases are built they will be using ~250MW of power.

by j_walter 4y ago
Which indicates the author knows nothing about how semiconductor fabs use power. Power usage is stable with a few percent...and 100MW is really on the low side for this fab. If all 6 phases are completed as they are expected to be...it&#x

This is a lesson most people don't learn till they are older (if ever). It's hard to convince someone in their 20's that they shouldn't be spending money on status things in order to gain friends or a romantic partner.

I mean not all of this is because of conscious improvements based on improving emissions. Every new generation of processor is going to take less energy to operate and every new generation of power management chip is going to be more effic
