  Gotta find time for a rewatch of Tucker and Dale vs Evil

  After personally speaking to a Taiwanese engineer working for TSMC in AZ, there is a major cultural difference, it shouldn’t be overlooked.

  People forget though, Intel is also expanding their plant in Chandler so this project is competiting for workers from within a diminished work force against a huge competitor. Intel doesn’t need to be told how to pay and run US based capital projects.

  If anything TSMC should be embarrassed they couldn’t successfully forecast a huge capital project to completion. That’s where the lack of competency and blame should be placed.

  Here we go again.

  Lawmakers: put back doors in end to end encryption.

  Tech sector: we can’t.

  Lawmakers: think of the children.

  Tech sector: it’s math, if we weaken the tech, nothing is private.

  Lawmakers: yes, or leave the market.

  Tech sector: ok.

  This has been playing out since the Clinton administration and the idea there, which failed was key escrow. Key escrow still isn’t a solution becase the code is, now, open source.

  The lawmakers want the public to have less privilege than the criminals, or they want the entire population to act as criminals by using freely available software. This shows no forethought.
