  Thanks for Bill Nye-ing this for me. Appreciate your summary

  Obligatory Irish potato famine was a result of British policy. But I agree with your sentiment

  My only question is where is the outlet for the heat pump? If it goes out in the front then okay, but if it’s pumping out hot air into a now insulated area that might be a problem

  I get them weekly on my work laptop but waiting and a reboot fixes it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The world's largest chipmaker promised to create thousands of US jobs. There are growing tensions over whether US workers have the skills or work ethic to do them.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it’s going to require extreme salaries, because there are so many options for the qualified people in the Phoenix area. TSMC’s reputation precedes them and people would rather work at Intel or NXP or ONsemi or anywhere else for less money, than to work for them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A feud is heating up between Arizona workers and the world's leading chipmaker after the company claimed the US doesn't have the skills to build its new factory⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do people keep saying this? There are many fans in the US. And for those that manufacture abroad, they still design their chips hear, ie Apple. People don’t want to work at TSMC precisely because there are alternatives. Intel is demanding, but TSMC has a horrible track record regarding respecting their workers and safety. They don’t even lock out electricity or gases on their tools when they’re being worked on. As a personal anecdote, I received an offer from a company that paid much better to work at TSMC, but declined the offer based on the customer. Luckily a couple months later I found another job at the site I wanted that paid a little better even.

  Intel recycles nearly 100% of the water they use, I’m sure TSMC will do something similar. They need to do a ridiculous amount of processing to make it suitable to return to the city supply anyways, so they just found a way to reuse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TSMC delays US chip fab opening, says US talent is insufficient⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ve been trying to poach people from Intel and it isn’t working. Their reputation precedes themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TSMC is delaying its Arizona foundry over a lack of skilled workers alongsde a $5.85B income slump⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You forgot the highest volume Intel fab in the world XD. But you’re right Arizona at least has nice weather almost half of the year and tons of hot jobs in tech. The issue is with the work culture at TSMC and not the location
