Do tell.
Very much wish I could.

I don't even want to know how much he got paid to ruin the most used product in the world.
Oh he did worse than that, far worse.

What is definition of dead? 15 years later they have huge majority of traffic share and lots of revenue.
The majority of that revenue comes from violating data protection law and regulators and litigants are slowly racking up a series of wins which will gut ads margins.
There is no Plan B, they are just going to break the law until they can’t and there’s zero clue what happens after that.
They sat back and let OpenAI kick their ass precisely because ghouls like Prabakar call the shots and LLM are not a good display ads fit.
The best parallel for Google is Kodak.
Dead Comment
As long as the US government can afford to run with trillion dollar deficits. Once the budget cuts take place and the defense budget gets cut by half, all bets are off.
To appropriate a quote “you’ll take my guns from my cold dead hands”.
There’s only one thing the agree on in DC: defense spending is the most important line item, and everything else is secondary.
Also, turns out when you have the ability to take virtually anything by force the concept of “deficits” is a bit fungible.
Not to mention, the other fabs would be high priority missile targets.
Exactly, flatten those in the first five minutes and that “shield” is gone.
Can you elaborate on what you mean with „the threat is gone“ please?
Invasion by CCP followed by full ceasing of chip shipments.
They are adapting by getting subsidies from the US government, which implies that US based manufacturing will never be cost effective. When the money flow turns off, these fabs might fade away.
These are military assets, the Pentagon gets what it wants.
That’s why CHIPS was passed, the brass told Congress to get them some fancy new fabs, and like all requests the Pentagon makes, they got it.
Long term it doesn’t matter if these fabs are hugely profitable relative to other locales, we’ll find a way to keep them producing.
So the article is suggesting it comes down to this:
That Taiwainese workers will work 16 hour days and weekends.
That's true and probably won't happen in America with American workers.
But, before we just take that one factoid and call it settled, I'd love to understand what the ROI would be on a plant that just hired twice as many workers. My impression is that the margins on these chips are 100-1000x.
The Japanese figured out how to build and manage American auto factories, I’m hopeful the Taiwanese will figure it out as well.
I'm guessing it's the opposite. Meta is trying to establish the same OS-level foothold/control that Microsoft, Apple and Google have.
Exactly, at the root a lot of this about ATT.
