That general philosophy seems to be intact. A very recent example: a large machine at their Hillsboro research facility was dismantled and sent to production in Ireland, with the same model with a very slight upgrade shipped in to replace i

That is mostly true, but I hate to see the narrative that it's insecure due to lack of resources. It's easy to miss the ridiculous scale of these big tech companies.

Apple makes more in profit per year than the US IC budget. Their annual revenue is slightly lower than the entire GDP of Israel, where NSO is based. It is far less unrealistic than you think.

Relative to economic output, not really. In absolute terms, yes, because the plants are massive and "facilities staff" misses a lot when you're talking about machines worth 150 million a piece, clean rooms, and billions in de

It's 20B with expansion options on 2,000 acres. Leading edge fabs just cost an incredible amount of money, it's basically in chunks of 10B at a time. Here's the Time article: https://time.com/6140476/inte

With crypto these days alpha is still very easy since it's a small backwater. Microstructure is all complete bullshit (and has been as long as these markets existed), and leverage is basically unlimited. A huge sell order is more likel

None of these systems are "self driving", and Tesla is the only company I've seen falsely advertise their system as capable of such. Ford's BlueCruise, for example, requires the driver to watch the road, and seems to be

Intel doesn't have any fabs in China, the Dalian facility is for NAND and was sold to SK Hynix recently. Shanghai/Chengdu are assembly/test. It's just Chinese politics, and a very large market. It was a huge mistake to u

This is unnecessarily defensive. A quick search shows that other large recalls have been heavily upvoted on HN: Volkswagen, Hyundai, Fiat, Peloton, Amazon, and many others. Just a reminder that news about the 6th-largest company in the worl

It's a little unfair to call this 80% of a solution, but it pretty much is. The demonstrated speed is awful, which is alright in theory since you can just run more of them in parallel, but it does pose an issue if it's added to a

Used Ruckus AP/router from eBay. Ridiculous reliability and performance for a home setup. Downsides are missing the absolute latest tech, it being EOL gear, and no warranty if it somehow dies.

Why don't you link what seem to be private NPPA requirements? It's also a real stretch to say it's about mockery. It's about encouraging "correct values". I have a hard time seeing this as an argument in good f

The current situation is a handful of confirmed Omicron cases in the US, and a (useless) travel ban to prevent additional cases. Either this data is noise, or that genie isn't just out of the bottle, but ransacked the house while we&#x

I think this misses a lot. I suppose it's because it has to support the pro-billionaire-founder conclusion. First: monetary policy. This was half the shock, not just the pandemic - it was on a scale similar to World War II. In hindsi
