  • the pandemic was really the only significant player here, since it stopped world trade.

    Sure russia is a fair example, but here in the US we barely felt it, and we did pretty quickly close up the trade problems.

    i’m sure countries are moving away from it, and ensuring industry a bit, that’s not surprising, it happens everytime. It’s going to get outsourced later eventually. And they’re not going to onshore every single industry either, it’s simply not possible.









  • Which of those projects will be ready by the time China invades Taiwan in early 2025? And how will those factories absorb all the global orders for chips when they’re not ready?

    for one, there’s no guarantee. Trump should want to protect taiwan, as it’s a strategically convenient point of interest.

    You are agreeing with me. Fabs are hard. Our people are stupid.

    well sort of, your argument is “well its hard and difficult so why should we ever try” my argument is “doing literally anything at all is going to be a better move.”

    Their people are smart. If their people are tied up in a war and dying, and their fabs are destroyed, and our fabs are half built

    yeah idk i think they would probably move to the US. The place where they are most likely to be able to fabricate again.

    you are unironically concern trolling with this post.


  • there are two big arguments for a denser layout, notably you move your hands less, which means you can type faster, statistically speaking. It makes it easier. Generally you see typing speed track roughly with this over time.

    And since you move your hands less, it’s ergonomically better for typing, so you get less strain, you have better ergonomics in general, you can type longer, and even faster since there is less strain.

    Different layouts optimize for different things, some optimize for efficient roll combinations, some optimize for switching between hands as optimally as possible. Some don’t really do any of that (qwerty) which also have a significant impact on typing.



  • that’s only true if you’re a trump supporter, it’s absolutely true if you’re not. There are most definitely concerns to be had, as there always are, but globalism is fundamentally good for the economy. There is no world in which this isn’t true, so you should push towards globalism, even if there is some risk, because it will likely stabilize relations significantly.
