Antonymous posted:The chinese wiki says you have to buy shares, which started at 1 yuan each, and the amount that are offered to you is based on performance, how long you've been there, etc. each year. It's a bonus system inside the company. When you leave, Huawei buys the shares back for whatever they are 'worth'. That's really minimal influence on decision making processes for an ESOP. In other news I wrote my thesis on workplace democracy and you can find companies that are more "worker owned" than what you guys are saying Huawei is doing in the west. From when I looked into it Mondragon in the Basque country is an interesting comparison. Around 90% of Basque employees held shares, but not the 10s of thousands of workers in the rest of Spain, nor the workers of the Polish grocery store chain they acquired, for instance. Mondragon itself is a federation of worker cooperatives. Each cooperative having its own structures and can form divisions and subgroups to collectively take advantage of common services or economies of scale. Furthermore cooperatives were run through a general assembly, which elect a governing council, which in turn appoints executive management, decides on admission of members and distribution of profits. They did intend to provide workers in the rest of Spain and outside Spain a path to becoming members (aka, owning shares and having voting rights), but that got put on hold for years due to the 2008 financial crisis and I haven't really looked into what happened next since I finished my thesis.

Yeah I kind of agree shattering TSMC into different pieces in US, China and SK basically lower the risk of military unification as well as lower the chance of US military intervension. This is the intended result of US, not the intended result of DPP.

So like how is North Korea doing lately? I was wondering if I could laugh at the prospect of them eventually being a better place to live than the US because of them slowly building themselves up while we tear ourselves apart.

Well that sucks. I guess it's just a matter of trying to build enough industry to trade with china and wait until they can launder through them to actually have connections to the world again. We've totally killed more north Koreans and caused them more suffering than their state ever will for the next hundred years at this point, just because we loath that they don't want to be ruled by us. thechosenone has issued a correction as of 02:48 on Dec 4, 2022 |

Just like with Cuba, it's really important to harshly punish the entire nation so that the regime will topple. Any day now. It's coming. Also no talking to your neighbors and creating trade relations with them because uhh... Globalisation allows for bad regimes to entrench themselves on a throne of cheap goods and/or increased wages - depending on the current economic state of the economy. This is good though if it's good guys.

Danann posted:https://twitter.com/KyleTrainEmoji/status/1597791419028373505 Good thread. China also has the super high voltage transmission technology to move electricity from major power plants to the population or industrial centers. Like the mega dam they are building in Congo now, they will need that technology to sell the power to South Africa. It's basically BRI for electric power. The Urghur region could have turn out like Kyrgyzstan if South Xinjiang was never unified by China.

i say swears online posted:it's group reading time quote:A clutch of British universities runs a decadal sexual-health survey called Natsal, one of the biggest in the world. In the most recent survey, completed in 2012, 7.5% of sexually active women reported painful sex, with a quarter having symptoms “very often” or “always” and for at least six months. this sounds really low to me possibly because the poll has a narrow definition of painful sex but also possibly because the worlds gone to hell in the last ten years lol

Is there a good reason the US can't start making semiconductors in America? A factory uses the Siemens process to pull polysilicon from silicon containing rocks, the polysilicon is melted into into a long ingot and cut into wafers. Germanium and Gallium-arsenide are commonly available in North America and the refinement process is similar. Appropriate PPE exists and is also commonly available. Maybe this is a dumb question

American capitalists sent the chip making to SK and Taiwan because it's actually very expensive to make the chips. TSMC uses something like 12% of Taiwan's electricity output, and the semi industry effectively sucks up all the engineering graduates. If you keep the majority of the profit in the fabless design and patent stages, then US still get to keep most of the semiconductor profit. So Taiwan becoming a highend fab monopoly was by design. What the capitals didn't expect was how fast TSMC and Samsung advanced the new fabbing process. Or, how fast PLA builds new naval ships.

You can always just ship more water in when needed. It's other peoples water that's running out, the chip fabs will get theirs.
