Not necessarily. If you add density to an existing lot, your land increases in value, and since it’s likely the majority of the value of your property, your property probably goes up in value. Then, the increased supply decreases the cost of shelter.

It's not even that. Nothing in a modern process node is as small as the node size, and in fact with modern processes it's not even close. I just checked, and per some reference on wikipedia TSMC 3nm's metal pitch is expected to be 24nm (so, ~12nm wide metal "wires" on the lowest level of interconnect are the smallest things you'll see on a picture).
What's been happening is that fabs have been exploiting more and more tricks to increase transistor density while still using the larger feature sizes. So flat transistors became finfet's, increasing their gate area and allowing chips to use fewer of them for the same silicon area, etc...
So read "3nm" as "a process with the same transistor density as you would expect had some ancestral ~90nm process been shrunk by a factor of 30".
Thanks, this is a great explanation. It seems like these "nm" indicators are much like measuring a car's power in "horsepower". It is certainly measuring something real but its connection to actual horses has long since atrophied.
Survivor bias. If nothing existed [1], we wouldn't be here to ask the question.
It's like asking what is P(A|A).
The question "Why do I not exist" has never and will never be (seriously) asked.
[1] To be clear, if only nothing existed, and there existed nothing other than nothingness. [2]
[2] I sense epistemologists warming their guns here, asking if the "existence" of "nothing" counts as the existence of "something". I.e. is "nothing" something?
I don't think so. There has to be a plausible survivor for survivorship bias. Living forever is advantageous to being a member of a survival cohort, and yet survivorship bias hasn't discovered any immortal people. Is there a plausible reason for things to exist that would explain why existence survived as an outcome?

And Gab's rivals use their megaphones to say less-than-flattering things about white people, men, etc. You're not going to escape bias or vitriol by sticking to one echo chamber. Not in this cultural climate, at least.
OK, show me when Twitter official retweeted something calling for white genocide.

6. Need to reasonably predict what that human that just made eye contact with you would likely do next, and how that's different from what he might do when he doesn’t make eye contact with you. And all of that differs if you're in NYC or SF or small town, Indiana
7. Need to understand that drunk person staggering along the roadside has been repeatedly slipping off the sidewalk and there's a non-zero chance they trip and fall right in front of you.
Not really embarrassing when nothing else exists like it.
350mbps is _insane_ for this
It is! But their architecture should enable them to hit a much lower price point. Maybe it's just charging what the market will bear? If this is what they need to charge to be profitable, though, that indicates the satellite-to-satellite approach doesn't scale well, or they've been losing money.
Compared to what?
Inmarsat is the only viable alternative for smaller boats that offers unlimited data plans, has higher latency due to being geostationary, much lower bandwidth, and charges about $8000 for a gigabyte…
I‘m not sure what Ku or Ka band GEO providers charge, but I doubt you can find anything competitive there either, and these require very large antennas.
Compared to what their architecture should enable. Sure, it's more satellites consumed per request but there aren't _that_ many satellites between some random point in the Pacific and the nearest base station. Certainly seems like it's not scaling that well if the price jumps from ~$120 to $5000.
$5000 a month? That's pretty embarrassing, isn't it? That indicates they aren't doing satellite-to-satellite and are using some kind of specialized hardware to simply send the signal to coastal satellites from farther away.
