It was announced a few days ago that Intel is finally going to actually receive something from the CHIPS act. So far they haven't gotten a dime. CHIPS money has overall distributed barely any of the funds.
That's a good point, there's also Trump coming in and potential tariffs. The path set by Pat Gelsinger may no longer be the most profitable, in the short term. Why invest and restructure if you expect the incoming government to cut your competitors off and allow you to cruise along for another four years?
The guy is the Hamas leader who was killed recently? How would Israel get him? Special forces raid? He could hide anywhere in Gaza. And why would Israel want to do a decapitation instead of destroying the hostile organization? Even assuming Israel doesn't want to annex territory that seems like expecting the US to react to 9/11 by sending the Navy Seals after Bin Laden and stop it at that.
The Gaza invasion was never about the hostages. If Israel cared about the hostages they wouldn't have indiscriminately bombed the entire territory. The hostages are dead, and demanding the impossible return of people they killed is simply a pretext:
They want land expansion and the total ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Look up 'Greater Israel'. Tim Walz accidentally let it slip during a debate that this is the goal of the US empires support.
Hmm. It is a weird conversation for me. Since I am not part of the conflict, as the outsider I believe I see some of the game played. Still, I do not want to spend too much energy on this since I am not sure I understand how you perceive things.
I think you are wrong, but you are wrong by equating Netanyahu and Israel. It is useful for the former. It would be hard to convince me it is useful for the latter. And then, even assuming tada part is uncontested ( not impossible in current configuration ), how exactly do you see this play out?
Yes I am serious. Obviously 1200 dead is sad. Disregarding the emotions, on an Israeli political level it IS useful to rally the country to finally handle the Palestine problem once and for all, which is what is happening right now.
I sincerely doubt it will be once and for all. It will only end once and for all when the Palestinians make a true effort to have peace based on 67 borders, and that's not happening any time soon.
But of you think logically from first principles, it makes no sense to have both an a320 and 737.
All this competition and “corporate greed” where we literally have two airplanes that are functionally identical rebuilt from the ground up is an huge, massive waste of human capital and enabled by the government through monopoly of copyright and patents.
While I think creators should get paid, I wonder if there is a better way to manage copyright that what we do.
I think the government granting this extreme of a monopoly on copyright is one of the weirdest things we tolerate.
There has to be a way where we can statutorily authorize copying at x% fee or something.
That way we don’t build two copies of the same thing!
A320 and 737 are functionally similiar only in terms of "a flying machine moving you in the air at 900 kilometers per hour". Both Airbus and Boeing are exploring in a space of different design and engineering concepts, where there is no clear winner.
