You also have people that sign themselves up for a bunch of debt for their kids college that they themselves can't afford with the expectation that their kids will be better off for it. Not everyone is smart enough to realize this is

The problem is that people want college for free...for everyone. No country in the world provides free college to everyone. You have a lot of stipulations as to who qualifies as we don't need the person who barely graduated high scho

> College is important - it’s why there is a cost to it. True...but the cost varies widely and people need to understand that going to an ivy league school for a degree that gets you into something like being a social worker is not ever

I don't believe it's their intention to fuck the community over, but more to try to secure some of that CHIPS money. Intel, TSMC, TI and Samsung actively have fabs being built, but they are slowing them down right now. TSMC is t

That is unrelated, but I've seen similar issues recently when logging into Canvas (you know for school). Maxes out my CPU and if I leave it long enough it crashes the tab due to memory...it's not displaying anything special...

TSMC is charging 6% more across the board...all they way from 3nm to the 350nm stuff.

...and it's all sanctioned by the government because they make boatloads of money in the process. All in the name of the greater good.

From a competitive perspective this is probably accurate. However the technological roadblocks of 450mm wafers were sizable and not easily overcome. Wafer flatness across an 18 wafer is extremely important. The industry handled this same

Sure...when 60% of the grid is powered via fossil fuels. If that number hits 80% or 90% then what. How about Hummer EV vs. H2? What if someone pays for completely green energy from their electric company? Also...why not include the Humme

You can't just ramp up hydro though...and sure it's 75% hydro right now, but if you are adding another 20% to the grid to deal with electric car charging where is that coming from? Across the US there has been no hydro or nuclear

The problem is we need to listen to people who understand how to make things actually happen. Politicians push electric cars without understanding the strain that will put on the grid as it currently sits. They push banning coal and NG po

Because that would make people not feel as good about "doing their part". No one likes to think about where all that Lithium came from and the not so great humanitarian practices surrounding those mines. Many people just like to
