Reddit, like HN, have “deniability” though. It’s the users that are doing it, the users control the front page, not some fancy engagement algorithm.

That was just talk. With the current shortage there is plenty of evidence. Things are a lot different now too given how widely use semiconductors are. That said, it remains to be seen how seriously the US government is about this. The $50 b

That was before it was seen as a potential national security issue. Semiconductors could end up like the US defense industry, which the US feeds with a continuous amount of money (recession or not) and is not outsourced for obvious reasons

I don’t mean temporary overcapacity. Overcapacity could be near permanent / long lasting as governments step in to prevent their local fabs from failing as they want to maintain local production capability no matter what. In general, i

Will it be enough for the US government though? The current shortage is making countries like the US realise that semiconductors are a critical commodity for the function of their advanced economies. The US wants fabs back on their soil and

Guess Intel is moving with the times. Won’t be the first time they overhauled their business, I heard they used to be DRAM makers before jumping into CPUs.

I know people hate language wars and always reply with “Use the best language for the job.” but wouldn’t it be great if there was a language that could do it all optimally (or at least adequately). Then we can focus on just one language to

I don’t think they will fail on the 30% commission part. If they lose on that, console gaming as we know it will end because commission/licensing fees is how console manufacturers make money too - the hardware is sold at near break eve
