I’m sure TSMC would become untenable if either the US stopped buying or selling to them, though I tend to disagree and think that not licensing US tech would kill them faster. I’m pretty sure that much of that tech is not available from anywhere else and would just cause a full stop of their business, at least for some time. It’s easier to survive on lower revenue than it is on a fully shuttered assembly line.

There is likely a lot of US tech in that chip. TSMC is just a fab, they don’t have a lot of their own technology, they buy thousands of pieces of tech from all over the world to make their chips. A lot of that comes from the US.

If they are using GPL code, shouldn’t they also release their source code?

Have you never met one of these self proclaimed “empaths” who are so busy telling you how you feel that they forget to actually listen to you telling them how you feel? I sure have met a few in my day.

The choice between a traditional up-down vote and a new non-up-down vote must have been a tough one.

But according to the joke it still does represent two types: Binary and nonbinary. Which itself is a binary set of choices, albeit a different one.

I’m really curious how you see this as transphobic.

The war really can’t have more support than it current does in Russia. Pretty much the whole country is actively or passively supporting it. So this theory has already been soundly debunked. The Russian people care only about their own situation, and until they feel the results of this war, there will be no real opposition. Support can’t go up from here, but with some help it can go down.

I don’t see how you can consider leaving it in the company being “taking it for themselves”. You can’t do anything with that money other than pay for business investment or expenses. At least until it’s turned into dividends.

That’s my point.

You said

profit is literally only the money they take for themselves.

But the money they take for themselves are called dividends, and is a subset of profit. Profit can stay in the business too.

Actually he’s correct as to the dictionary definition of profit. What you are describing are called dividends in business parlance.

You didn’t bother to read the article did you? Ukraine didn’t lose anything. They used it. The pentagon simply failed to track the delivery.

Not really, anyone flying a drone over a restricted area should expect to find out the hard way.

Seems like a good old fashioned Geppard would sort this right out.

It’s important to note that this is a failure of the Pentagon to properly track their equipment than the fault of Ukraine due to corruption or something.

They set out to make the truck version of the Delorean and succeeded.
