@MarkLundeberg @IanCutress Very cool. Are there any fabs going up in the west that are handling these old nodes? I've read that China is the only country fully integrated top to bottom on all nodes 45nm and older.

@lousy38623 @IanCutress E.g. Canon FPA-3030i6 using the old i-line light (365nm).
English
A reminder that 90%+ of all fab litho equipment that has ever been made is still being used. ASML claims 95%. For other tooling it's probably around 80-90% too - I regularly get emails from a GF equipment reseller and they seem to cycle through tools.
English
@MarkLundeberg @IanCutress Any proof of this? I was told during the chip shortage that the reason there was a shortage was that the chips needed old node equipment, those fabs were at capacity and no one wanted to spend the dough on machines for old tech knowing that they would write it off in a few years
English
@IanCutress Not only is the equipment from the 90s (180nm-350nm process nodes) still being used, it is in such demand that equipment makers are starting to manufacture new machines. It's a mature node, it just works, less complications.

@sihir_sains Want to warn you guys: they do this sketchy thing where if you dont register within a certain time, you dont get the extended warranty, It was also a pain to get my luggage replaced after the front zipper broke only after two trips. Its an ok luggage but man was it expensive.

my heuristics in life is buying whatever the top 1% most frequent user buy, because their lives rely on the good working most of the time
most NYC/CHI pilots and flight attendants use Travelpro (and they use transit to the airport) soft top rollaboard. Platinum Elite is great

It's not just luxury hotels that are a scam, it's almost everything that's luxury that's a scam Gf bought Rimowa suitcases, expensive and supposed to be better quality than regular ones, but of course they're much worse They keep breaking, like all of them, cracks in the handles, cracks in the sides, it's just cheap plastic shit but it costs $1000 or more Rimowa was bought by LVMH in 2016 which has an average profit margin of 66% and whose strategy is to increase prices by ~5x, decrease costs by ~5x and then create artificial scarcity (limited availability per shop) because people want what they can't get (not me though but many) LVMH is kinda like the luxury version of private equity, it makes everything more expensive and worse and hard to get!

BO Employees: Almost Friday & time for my summer vacation! Just 1 more day.
>comes in today
>checks email
Attention All Employees
Because of last nights explosion we will all need to put in a lot of overtime to fix this. Expect 60-80 hour weeks. Vacations are cancelled.
English
@ITSNEWNAMEDUDE @CatboyRocketry @AeroBigMike To be fair, no one is forcing these people to work at a space company. The point is that in the US the opportunity is there to invent the future. Doing anything great requires sacrifice. You have to decide for yourself what is important to you.
English
@CatboyRocketry @AeroBigMike And we have mandatory paid vacation, better food, paid paternity leave, free healthcare, laws and a court system that benefits the people and not corporations, unions,...........
Tldr: you might consider us poor but we live far better lives since we're not wageslaves

@CarolinaLion2 I’m wondering what Trump’s plan is to avoid the fallout.
Throw Hegseth under the bus?
Is he just hoping everyone forgets the nuclear weapons that he used as a pretext?

The reason a lot of people are freaking out is if that deal goes through Iran gets everything it wants and the economy still implodes in the next couple of months.
Open Source Intel@Osint613
Al Jazeera: Sources say the Iran draft proposal includes ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, unfreezing billions in Iranian funds, lifting the U.S. naval blockade, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and pulling U.S. forces away from Iran’s vicinity. The sides would then have 30 days, extendable by agreement, to finalize a nuclear deal. Iran says future management of the Strait would be handled jointly with Oman.

@BananaMediaX @reidhslaughter @WurzelRoot Theres always people struggling to make ends meet since like the beginning of humanity...
English
Timing is everything. There were people struggling to make ends meet at the time. The "essential" workers would work 14 hour days until their hands bled. Then you see what your admin team does in the office all day, and it shatters an illusion that you once held. That they were useful, or their job couldn't be done better, even with a 50% reduction in their department.

i wish there were a documentary on where these women are now and if they understand the impact they had on the collective psyche

@dunne_insights Yeah but there are 100 chinese car companies currently trying to survive in a jungle right now. One of them may compete on price out of desperation. China currently has way too much over production of electric vehicles. Those local chinese provinces WILL NOT let those jobs die.
English
Don’t count on Chinese carmakers to bring affordable cars to America.
Won’t happen beyond the superficial.
Instead they will pursue the $50k plus range to capture profits as soon as possible.

@phondeel_mbalz @Motor1com Most of their cars are prices lower than German cars, have materials and design that are elegant Japanese and have the reliability, insurance, and repair cost of a Toyota. You can keep your POS German cars.

@somewheresy I thought this was America. If they want to spend their life making music that is their choice. You want these reactors so badly you go make em.
