if you're looking at semiconductors outside of the bleeding edge 6 nanometer processes or whatever, there's a ton of it that happens outside of Taiwan, including fabs that already exist in the US and it's not impossible to set up bleeding edge semicon manufacturing outside of Taiwan, it just takes a long time to construct the fabs, it takes a long time to source the machinery from that one Dutch firm that does all of it, and even once you have all of that, it takes a while longer to then get good fabrication results from a new foundry, because your technicians need to develop the skill, and the process needs to be tuned to specific idiosyncrasies of the particular machines and site that you have like, if you wanted to have a TSMC-competitive fab in the US as of TYOOL 2022, you should have been starting the process in 2015 or something finally, these foundries are set up in places like Arizona at least partially because of the geological conditions - you want flat land with few earthquakes, because at the scale of the work involved, even tremors can affect output. That does mean it runs contrary to the availability of water, but it's not "dumb" per se

HK libs have just become increasingly insufferable since I moved there lol. Especially now that must of the ones I met are getting to settle down and have kids age, and they've decided that having children in HK will put like an indelible stain on the child's soul or that a Chinese doctor will be involved and cause infant mortality by Communist soul merging. I expect if HSBC gets in any further financial trouble (seems likely if there's a recession on the near horizon), it'll be all blamed on China

I walked into a Lion Rock Cafe the other day, asked the kid behind the counter to give me a regular. "Regular what?" he says. "Coffee!" "We don't have coffee. Our mission is to establish a platform for individuals and artists who believe in the same set of universal values of freedom, democracy and justice."

I think it came up before, but the KH protestors got pretty much memory holed when they massively misread the room on Jan 6 and I think the government just waited until they got tired and went home.mawarannahr posted:so this is like a Facebook page or something? I think it's a goon project

I haven't been posting about domestic Philippine politics that much but the current issues are: The Marcos-dominated Congress wants to create a "sovereign wealth fund", named after Marcos's mythological narrative of Maharlika, and they're going to use social security and government pension funds to put money into it it's supposedly trying to emulate the Singapore model, but nobody outside of Congress actually believes in that and everyone else knows that it's just going to be a way to transfer government money into private investments. Maybe someone with a better background on the Malaysia sovereign wealth fund scandal can provide the historical backdrop of that corruption mess ___ With respect to the national budget, the Executive keeps requesting for, and Congress keeps granting, the idea of "confidential funds", which is a certain slice of the budgetary allocation for a certain department that... is confidential. As in there's no specific programming for where the money will be spent on, and no Congressional oversight. Specifically, they're looking at granting 150 million pesos in confidential funds to the Department of Education, which is currently run by our Vice President, Sara Duterte. Why the education department would need black box funding is a "mystery", but it obviously has to do with the fact that Duterte is running that branch of the government ___ An extra round of tax cuts that were programmed into the tax cut law that Duterte passed in 2017 are scheduled to automatically kick in on January 1 of 2023. The Department of Finance was petitioning Marcos to defer these tax cuts shortly before he assumed office, but he has not responded. We'll see if he caves before the New Year. It does feel a little odd because it's an across-the-board reduction in income taxes (with all of the business-sector-beneficial cuts already in effect for years now), so I'm personally in a position to benefit from it, were it to happen gradenko_2000 has issued a correction as of 05:54 on Dec 5, 2022 |

I read a dumb article today by a former Australian government minister complaining about Gough Whitlam and how lefties shouldn't venerate him, citing his love for Mao as one of the reasons. I went and looked up his statement which is a fun read.Gough Whitlam posted:Contemporaries and compatriots though they were, Chairman Mao Tse-tung was a man of very different temperament and gifts from Premier Chou En-lai. Whereas Chou was preeminently the skilled administrator and interpreter of China to the world, Mao was the inspiration to the Chinese people themselves. Devoted as he was to Marxist doctrine, the inspiration he gave his people was very much a personal expression of his own character and his unique gifts as a leader. He set examples of courage, fortitude and determination to his people which brought them safely and triumphantly through one of the longest episodes of civil and international conflict the world has known. Under Mao's leadership, and largely because of that leadership, the Chinese people found the purpose and summoned the strength for a prodigious effort of revolutionary struggle. It was to carry the most populous nation on earth out of feudalism and chaos and make it a secure, stable and self-confident member of the world community. No man has so embodied the aspirations of a great people and given in equal measure practical and spiritual impetus to a revolutionary movement as did Mao Tse-tung during his long and remarkable life- 50 years as a leader of the Chinese people, 40 years as head of the Chinese Communist Party, and 27 years as leader of the Chinese State. more amusing was that then-Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser made a similar statement Malcolm Fraser posted:Mao Tse-tung devoted his life to the vision of a rigorously egalitarian society, and, in pursuit of that vision, he mobilised the vast energies of the Chinese people. For the first time in many decades Mao Tse-tung gave China an effective administration, restored a country ravaged by civil war and secured the basic necessities of life to China's people. He sought for China self-reliance. Under his leadership China assumed a major role in world affairs. I live in hope for the day the wheel turns and the Australian government has bipartisan respect for the greatness of Chairman Mao once again

Bubble tea is just sugar+ rice starch. It's super cheap to make it at home. I cook them all the time. It has some of the highest street price to cost ratio. It's essentially the Asian version of $10 Starbuck latte (make sure you come up with a really long name to justify the extra 2 dollar makeup.) People who came up with the Bubble Tea name obviously was ignorant to the role of sugar as the original oil in the early slavery and colonial systdms.
