When you engage a bunch of Sierra Club and Aspen Institute kudo collectors to run your pickup truck business, these are the outcomes you get.

Sure, it will get their attention. Then what? Apparently you think: "well then they'll change conditions to make parenting feasible." No, they won't. They'll just do what they've been doing: import 80 IQ third worlders, preferably under a visa regime that makes them compliant.

Among the "Related links" appearing on this stories page: "New Junior Developers Can't Actual Code."

No more fake-it-till-you-make-it eye-tee jerbs.

Also, what will India do? There aren't going to be positions for the hoards of $60k/year visa slaves and their "masters" degrees. There won't even be work for the remote ones: the language models are just as good, if not better, at copypasta "consultant" work as the remote Indians.

Solar and wind have a max desirable amount. You do not want more than 25% in either of those intermittent sources because then you end up spending more on batteries than you do on power plants and distribution.

What's wrong with spending on batteries? Batteries are exteremly important in providing grid stability and consistency. It's a good way to spend money.

If some means to Blame America First (tm) is not provided, it doesn't live long in the echo chamber most slashsnotters inhabit.

ADC/DAC for agile RF, sensors and control systems. MEMS for gyros, etc. MCUs by the boat load. All the stuff Russia can't make in sufficient quantity for their nightly launches of hundreds shahed, cruise and ballistic missiles to conduct their civilian slaughter fest.

Probably 95% of it they can get from China. But there is a small yet crucial set of devices that they can't: high end ADC/DACs are certainly among those.

Wait! China doesn't respect human rights? That can't be right.

That was the whole (purported) point of Clinton (Mr.) et al. gifting MFN trade status and other benefits to China, and creating a huge new frontier for the evacuation of our industrial base. You're not saying we crushed our manufacturing economy for literally nothing, are you? That's ridiculous. The Clintons would never allow such a thing to happen. Shame on you.

Found the vatnik. You getting paid for this or are you just a useful idiot, doing it pro bono?

It's a smart move. We all know the "problem" can't actually be solved; there is no feasible way to prevent sanctioned nations from getting ahold of pallets full of microelectronics after they leave the factory and get shipped all over the planet. But it will motivate Western companies to be more circumspect about who they're dealing with, if only to avoid embarrasing headlines, and this will create higher costs for Russian arms manufacturers, a.k.a. the Russian government. Russia is in deep economic shit that is rapidly becoming catastrophic, and higher costs will add to this pressure.

Few. Especially the white ones. They know they've been iced out of their futures. They see the clown-world around them: prosperity is for non-whites and corrupt while females. Not them.

Much xenophobe

So Trump

Wow

MicroStrategy market cap, which has dropped to $54 billion since I wrote that.

Over and over and over... Same words. Same fools.

Xbox has been dying for 20 years now.

I know hating on Xbox is the approved take, but Microsoft isn't going to walk away from their cut of the console market in your lifetime.

A 56 billion dollar Ponzi scheme is about to explode.

Black swan event. Buckle up folks.
