   Interesting article, though I think it'd consider me a technophile. (reminds me of when my mom got confused upon calling me a luddite)

   The tl;dr in my terms: The semiconductor industry is utterly reliant on growth.

   As I degrowther, I consider this a bad thing which is just asking for disaster!

   I'm also reminded of @TechConnectify remarking that "Silicon Valley has to justify themselves as a centre of innovation when they're rapidly running out of runway".

     "Semiconductor industry used Moore’s law to organise its R&D effort and its industrial ramp-up. Moore’s law is by essence an economic law, not a natural one."
