What does any of that have to do with semiconductor manufacturing? You can have the best tourism, quality of life and everything else, and still not be able to build stuff domestically. Look at the USA, for example.

Yeah; in most cities, doing that doesn’t make sense, but in Silicon Valley, side streets can be 4x faster during rush hour. It’s not due to congestion; the light cycles are punitively long, to the point where intersections sit idle for 30-60 seconds at a time while there’s a multi-block (and multi-light) backup sitting behind red lights.

(Source: my pre-covid commute was always under 15 minutes on side streets, but regularly 45-60 minutes on main roads.)
It doesn't need to be that dislikes are embarrassing to their pet causes. There were a few instances where business partners would, e.g., post an ad campaign that got so many dislikes the dislike ratio entered the news cycle. I'm sure google gets pressure from their business/ad partners when that goes down.

My evidence is that I've lived in countries with market-based healthcare (Thailand, Mexico) and countries with socialized healthcare (Canada, UK), and the market-based healthcare is always infinitely better. My wife had to wait months to see a psychiatrist in Canada, before we moved away. WTF? In Thailand it's like $50 and you get in right away.

> empirically do those things better than the US

Why are you bringing up the US? It's not market-based healthcare.
Same, but the sentance "Individuals and companies realized that you don't need to pay people with experience any more, you can simply collect better data, and outsource decision-making to interpretations of this data." is probably demonstrably false and at a minimum it'd be very difficult to prove its true over a bull hypothesis that were as good as, if not marginally better than before as a species.

To an extreme it's "well we got horse carriages and cars so like no one is ever gonna run a fast marathon ever again, were outsourcing everything to the hay eaters".

Yeah no. And not that we shouldn't perhaps be more contemplative as a society, but as a species we generally don't atrophy capability that would other wise be complentary and beneficial to us.

Case and point, it's relatively well known "management ability" is a thing across cultures, experience, industry and training. The metrics point to at least in a narrow sense data driven executives outperforming their "solely intuitive" bunch.

Perhaps they should let paying members see counts.
In my opinion it's more useful when declaring class members, e.g.:

public class SignPost {
public List<string> Messages { get; set;} = new();
private List<string> Errors = new();
}

In both of the above usages var is not allowed. Often-times instead of a simple list you have something like an IReadOnlyCollection<T> or an equally-abominable custom type that is just a pain to write out 2x for every time you add it as a dependency somewhere.

Given the $10 a dose revenue, I'd call it a failure in the process rather than a mistake. That it was possible is the bigger problem than it happening.

And then there's the much greater value of the doses once they have been administered.
The fine-structure constant is only just known to that degree of precision. How far different it would have to be to interfere with known chemistry is much larger, maybe even a half-percent: that is, a half-billion times more than suggested.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful post! I'll try to address each point, let me know if I've missed anything.

Yes, for the moment you have to choose between remote or in person. You can switch it back and forth as much as you'd like (this also refreshes the campaign to appear in saved searches). I don't see any reason why they can't be both though, I've added it to the roadmap.

Good point on the Homebrew / Official distinction. I've updated it so that you can choose both.

Yes, there is no ability to create tags. My hypothesis is that if there are too many options, searches with tags will be less likely to return results. I am open to adding user created tags later when there are enough campaigns to support that level of granularity. I also have some other ideas for more granular searches I'm experimenting with.

Mature themes is a great point, I've added that as an additional content tag. I've also added an Adults Only tag to the inclusivity category of tags.

Good callout on passing around game control. More advanced controls for membership didn't make the cut for MVP, but is already in development.

It is NOT trolling. I made the site. You can easily verify my data.

- The hard way: Use YouTube's API to track the stats on one of the videos. Compare to my data, and the two will line up.

- The medium-hard way: Over the course of a day or so, simply compare the official likes/dislikes that you see on youtube.com to my stats at 81m.org. You will see that my stats line up with the official numbers.

It might be hard to believe at first, but I guarantee you that if you look into it, you will see that YouTube is deleting dislikes. There are tons of random threads about this on Twitter that are totally independent of my site 81m.org.

I took a job recently client basically twisted my arm I didn't need to work. One of the guys on the job is a live country musician, a big one. They're not on tour right now and he doesn't just sit around he works so he's out laying tile doing whatever carpentry work he can during the covid lockdown with no live shows. He hates country absolutely can't stand it, but fell into the country crowd early in his career and now that's all he plays. So this guy's up there playing big huge amazing country shows hates every minute of it.

Yes, starting your own indie studio means you'll probably not make it. But a lot of developers have steady jobs with decent pay at bigger studios.
It's funny to read it as J&J vaccine, while here in the Netherlands where the institute we all call it Janssen because that is the name of the institute. Im also in favor if the title reflected Janssen as well but I guess it's what it is as the article and the rest of America also calls it J&J vaccine. It's just a bit weird that it now gets the American name while they're just the parent company and didn't were involved so much in the R&D.

A centrally controlled emission is a feature that has significant downsides. Whether we want this feature is the point of discussion... Societies with economies existed before fiat and this centrally controlled emission seems to be quite shaky now.

It’s not about suckers or even wealth, it’s about whether control should be given to a greater entity who may save us, or if such a thing is too important to trust to a very human and often flawed agency.

I’m not sure what value they provide today but my prediction is that with continued momentum from teachers unions shutting down alternate education options, such services will provide legitimacy or certification to meet state imposed requirements in name only, so that parents retain freedoms to educate their own children as they see fit with the service providing a shield against the state.
Sure thing , can happen (from federal or state). We had a communist reform in my state where implementation of the land act transferred land rights to the tillers in the 50's. So it is possible with an act of parliament or state law. Is that going to be simple to enact such a thing , absolutely doubt it.
She was a linguist, not a techie.

The handling at The Intercept was amateur journalism at best, and at worst a cynical ploy (incriminate their source, hence confirmation, generate a media storm and clicks). They ignored fundamental techniques to protect sources: retyping documents without formatting, spell checking them, sharing only small snippets of text, in person instead of allowing retention, confirming via an external expert.

Of course, even without the printout they would have got her, she had terrible OPSEC.
Keep in mind that your car emits CO2 mainly from burning fuel.

Even if you don't care about CO2, you might want to care about burning less fuel. That stuff ain't free.

(And the beauty of CO2 taxes would be that they make worrying about fuel costs equivalent (or equivalent enough) to worrying about emissions.)

The real obstacle IMO are semi capable countries are loath to share capability due to geopolitics. US can entice and coerce TSMC / Samsung for fabs by having IP controls and massive market for IC demand. Even EU is failing to court TSMC because they constitute only 5% of TSMC customers. 1B + Indian poor infra just isn't enticing, even less so when access to IC = geopolitical power / control. India has too long history of non-alignment and indigenous spirit to be gifted IC autonomy by those able.

I think tier 2 cities like Pune and Bangalore are good candidates. They are both expanding like crazy. It will be easy (not really, but easier) to build out the new developments with next-gen infrastructure. Once the new areas are built up and show their superiority over a few years, the older ones will be upgraded due to public pressure.

I didn't make that claim.

My main point is that the article suggests that this manipulation is selective, and while Youtube might indeed be selectively manipulating White House videos, the methodology used doesn't show that.

Here's a simple question which should be easy to answer, if you've actually approached this in an impartial way: does Youtube also remove likes or dislikes from other videos in a similar way? If the answer is "yes", then the conclusion becomes much less politically interesting.

PS, I think you're overestimating the amount of people who care about White House channel videos. E.g. the press briefing from 3/29/21 has less than 34,000 views. I guess some of the Trump rally attendees forgot to show up to their downvote party.

Yep, "pocket reviewer" generally has a negative connotation. But, let's face it, most changes are minor. You have to be judicious about the level of review required for a given changelist.
> [...] it's the government's responsibility to ensure that the roads are reasonable safe [...]

Even if you agree with that, it's still not the governments responsibility to make all possible routes exactly equally safe. (That's actually not possible, for any non-zero level of risk.)

So even if the overall risk was low and in some sense reasonable, you might still want to pick the less risky route.

Also keep in mind that different people have different risk appetites.
Rare earths aren't actually that rare, and they're pretty well distributed throughout the planet, it's just that China is willing to screw their environment and undercut costs enough that other countries have been more than willing to outsource their production to China.

But when these resources are "used up" it's not like they disappear (as opposed to, say, helium), and at some point in the future it will be economic to recycle them and mine them from landfills.

Stunning New Image of Black Hole Reveals Surrounding Magnetic Fields
Well, the premise of the entire article is on questionable grounds. Stratechery had a good write up on a few angles, but there's more: https://stratechery.com/2021/intel-problems/

tl;dr on the above link: Willingness to work on mobile chips (We all know how that played out), Server leadership and Manufacturing.

There is more than one angle to the "decline" of the semiconductor industry though

- The composition of the American companies with the leading technology shifted from heavy on engineering and research to one of . .well, something else. There's plenty of commentary and tribal knowledge available online about walking into Intel HQ for interviews in this day and seeing the culture of sheer incompetence on display. They are a H1-B shop.

- While TSMC has invested in R&D, Intel has laid off hundreds in their R&D departments and over the past three years has spent AT LEAST $10 Billion per year on stock buybacks: https://www.intc.com/stock-info/dividends-and-buybacks

- Last year, when they were wayy behind on their latest promise to the server market and facing a rising competitor in AMD, guess what they did . . $12 Billion in buybacks. It's a joke.

This isn't a question of "Cost cutting" being the focal root cause, that's a symptom. The bigger issue is that companies are good as the intelligence of their decision makers and culture that enables innovation.

In Intel today, imo, the intelligence of their key decision makers isn't in their core business and neither do they indicate leaning on people with that expertise from the looks of their public comments.

The culture, i'm not going to comment on, there's enough chatter and anecdotes floating around for that.
I'm from a developing country and it sounds like the core problem is there are few tech entrepreneurs here.

There are investors from sectors like gambling and construction, and the expectations are entirely different. Money might be released in waterfall-like tranches, meaning that a seed fund needs about 4 pitches to the same investor. Someone from say, a plantation background, also doesn't understand the challenges of doing blue ocean businesses - the market might not fully be there yet. They often undervalue customer understanding and product market fit, while overvaluing things like exit strategy and marketing.

A lot of the pitching becomes very investor oriented. I've worked on many apps that never have any users - I literally get more revenue as a two-member team than most companies I've work at does with a dedicated international marketing team. A lot of those users are also the investors; very often an app sells their product to the family owned corporations run by the investors. And because of the need for marketing, there's a lot of $1 products sold at 80 cents, where the 20 cents are written off as a marketing cost.

All these things are cardinal sins by the YC playbook. I'd say if any accelerator can match YC's record, they'd do very well, but few do, and many former colonies still don't have that "trust the entrepreneur" mindset.
That kind of assembly is usually, but not always, handled in a different room.
Not quite. There are private hospitals in Canada but very few.

The reason is because physicians are banned from treating patients in the public system and private system. If they choose to treat private patients, they can't work in the public system. With such a small private system, that's not sustainable.

In addition, private hospitals/clinics can't offer certain procedures. MRIs are allowed in some provinces, but the list isn't very long.

Basically Canada is not interested in having any private healthcare system because then it would be "2 tier". They prefer everyone go to the same system.

3. The literature [1] disagrees with your assertion that gold mining uses more energy than bitcoin generation.

I echo the issue.

My SO has a condition that is a bit hard to pin down. Getting MDs to actually run tests took years of fights. I remember one particular phone call where my SO, myself, the insurance company rep, and the MD were on a 4-way call together. The MD was refusing to run a specific test, as it was not 'needed'. Eventually the insurance person became incredulous on our behalf (a near miracle in itself) and stated that the particular machine that does the test routinely, as part of the standard panel of tests (like, it'll always spit out the pH, salinity, blood-type, etc). As in, the MD knew the results of the test the whole time and refused to tell my SO.

The US system is beyond maddening!

I'll say it until the cows come home, the US 'system' is broken, has been for decades, and will remain so for the future.

Please, vote for people that will make it better.
Some of the people who are least likely to have insurance are those who "retire early" aka lose their job in their 50s or early 60s and are unable to find a replacement job with similar benefits and pay. Other people in blu collar jobs can no longer keep up with the physical demands of their profession once they hit mid 50s. Sometimes they have enough saved to scrape by until they can collect social security, which they unfortunately often do at 62 and forgo 30% of their monthly income permanently. Medical coverage is a huge problem for these people. Fortunately Obamacare makes it so they can now buy coverage at this age (before they would be rejected for likely pre-existing conditions), but any plan with reasonable premiums has a huge deductible (up to $10,000) that needs to be exceeded before insurance kicks in. For many people they would rather do without insurance that doesn't cover anything that is not catastrophic and save on the premiums.
