Hot take !== unsubstantiated, xenophobic take

It’s a massive supply chain, so, yes, both. But also a hundred other companies. TSMC and other foundries bring together many technologies from many companies (and no doubt a lot of their own) to ship a full foundry solution (design-technology-cooptimization, masks, lithography, packaging, etc).

The 3D Foveros packaging technology is critical as it allows some path lengths to be much shorter than if you had to traverse that same path but only in the horizontal 2D plane.

Very excited to see how this plays out in practice.

Yes, another anecdote to add to this thread of anecdotes is that my HI5 with HDA2 is stellar. I do hours at a time on highways in CA without a disengage.

6800U is awesome from what I’ve seen — better efficiency by far, and legit integrated graphics better than Xe — but it is vanishingly rare, even months after announcement.

The scale Intel has in manufacturing mobile CPUs is still unmatched.

These are poor communities. I know you realize how much lawyers cost.

Could a firm step in in hopes of getting a big pay day going up against the huge titans of the Chemical industry? Probably. Just hasn't happened yet, I'd say.

Is neoprene really the only way to make wet suits? I doubt it.

Regulate. A dirty word on HN, surely. Regulate the production of and, possibly, the import of neoprene, etc. Force industries to innovate - I know that's not a dirty word here - in order to sell these goods to Americans. Maybe then America becomes the sole producer of environmentally-friendly wet-suits to the whole of the word.

I think this is the only solution since your proposed solution of just "put the plants somewhere else" is, as you've pointed out, untenable.

"Registration requires an Apple developer license."

Hmm, not the open web I'm familiar with.

Very cool demo. Worked fine on my 2015 rMBP even if Ultra settings ran at about 10 FPS.

The web really has come a long, long ways.

I believe a sol is a Mars-specific term (at least in this context).

But maybe reading The Martian has me thinking that.
