  • 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.











  • the size doesnt matter for aerodynamics, generally, but it matters for physics.

    Drag is a square or cube scaling, i forget which, so at higher speeds it increases disproportionately.

    A larger object has more air to move out of the way, which means more drag. It’s more capable of moving that air with it’s increased volume. But then you also start running into volume to surface area scaling issues. Elephants are really slow for a reason, and it’s the same reason small animals are comparatively fast.
