@sickburnbro@matty I checked. The TSMC plant is the only one that received CHIPS money that has reached production. The rest are still milking as much as possible from the allocations as they drag their feet with construction. The list is longer, but the rest are smaller amounts and none have resulted in actual production.
@sickburnbro@matty In the case of the TSMC plant, it is actually operating, so at least when war with China comes, the MIC can still make fancy weapons. I think most of the rest of the CHIPS money was just flat out stolen.
@sickburnbro@matty In the end, it's mainly about moving production of critical War Material out of the enemy's base camp. It has nothing to do with helping American workers. If they could get away with importing 100% of the workforce from Taiwan they would do it, but they hired some office workers and nigger janitors to appease the local population and shipped in Gooks for all the good jobs.
@matty@sickburnbro >If we're going to pay a shit ton of money for amenities, I'd prefer the workers to actually be American. Let's check in on how that CHIPS act reshoring of computer chip production is going.
@TrevorGoodchild $7 BILLION gone *POOF* in the name of pushing faggotry. What grok is not getting into here is that the game delays and debt are due to packing the company with as many blue haired faggots as possible, which is also the reason for the latest game failure.
@TrevorGoodchild This is a LOT more drastic when you go to the 5 year chart for Ubi. Since they went hardcore with the faggotry their stock has tanked 84%. If I was a shareholder I would sue for breach of fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders. This is entirley because of them putting the woke agenda ahead of making good games and thus Profits.
@EssentialUtinsil@Humpleupagus@Eiregoat@sulaco@Floydian_Psychology@KingOfWhiteAmerica@sun These couple of knuckleheads in this thread are convinced that the giant warehouses of top end ASIC miners sucking down a city's worth of electricity are running the Bitcoin Ledger. The actual transaction updates are basically nothing computing power wise. I'm going to go bold and wild here and make this exact and say that the other 99.9999999999999999999999% of computing power used to run the Bitcoin network is just a footrace to win the prize for doing the ledger work that can literally be done on a Raspberry Pi.
@KingOfWhiteAmerica@Floydian_Psychology@EssentialUtinsil@Humpleupagus@Eiregoat@sulaco@sun If I seem quick to lose my patience when a fresh batch of Bitcoiners insists that Miners are hard at work verifying the ledger and all those warehouses are working out the ledger and verifying transactions when they are just solving a random puzzle, it's because this is a recurring thing. They are convinced that the Miners validate the transactions, when in fact the actual ledger is done at node level and the Miners are handed finished blocks of transactions by the Nodes (All miners are also Nodes, but not all Nodes are also Miners) and told to give the answer to a very hard math problem and then they race to be the first one done. Nodes make sure the miners are not cheating by modifying the block (phony transaction) they were given. For some reason there are some people who will simply not accept this fact, even when how it actually works and presented with incontrovertible proof they will simply not accept it. I don't know why. Gratuitous old school Bitcoin mining lass running a node on her retro cased P4 hotrod PC because why not. We have a 50's tech Antminer sitting on top of the case there, too.
This right here tells me that you do not understand how Bitcoin works. You are conflating the actual ledger(record of all transaction) and the random mathematical puzzle that miners solve to get the prize for maintaining the ledger by adding the latest batch of transactions to it. They are NOT the same thing.
