Those are just the 300mm fabs, they cite "15 global," probably on the same page you found that list on.

Wikipedia has https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...
which also lists Maine, Japan (2), Germany, and China (formerly SMIC). And more in TX and Utah than that (in the 150-200mm wafer size range)

Comment Re:Hadn't heard much about TI for a while (Score 2) 62

High spec ADC/DAC products are close to the theoretical maximum performance, not a lot of reason to expect "innovation" unless you have new physics.

And prices remain pretty low, there's strong competition between ADI and TI in this area, and lots of lower cost vendors. Monolithic Power Systems ($2B revenue, based in Seattle) will eat their lunch with almost-as-good chips if they try to raise prices very much.

No, that's because you were credulous of the clickbait and didn't read the article.

It's just a query string, and the site then shows the search results for their text. They're searching for something in the form of "get help from the super-official phone number 1-800-scammer"

This is just attempting to scam people who don't know what search results are.

That does raise the question of whether Iran already has such networks already, or still needs to build one.

That's easy to answer. They had one, but on the one hand it was infiltrated, and on the other hand their routers have been exploding.

That's why they would be using public internet; their private network is failing. And the government isn't trying to function, they're trying to preserve enough of a remnant to reassert power after the conflict.

What if 20% of the members of the organization have a daily task to make sure they create and send a total of at least 10 to 20 encrypted messages each at random times of day?

Over 20 years ago I remember Greenpeace International had scripts that automatically did this. They would define a minimum traffic level, and data caught by the email spam filter would be used to pad out the traffic.

It did require each office to use a small custom router box, but that's the level of security they needed; better than a small country would have.

I agree.

I have strong political feelings, too, but the correct time to include that in my daily life is elections.

I certainly follow current events, and have various emotions in response, but why would I want that response to replace normal life, or be mixed into other activities? I'm not gonna give [person I don't like] free rent in my head.

I quit commenting because too many snowflakes melt when they encounter [me]

So you think that strangers are going to be willing to tolerate your presence and include you in a group when you're intentionally behaving in a way that would "melt" them? That they want to have to tough it out to be with you? LOL So stupid.

And such a predictably weak tough-guy cry-baby act.
