You neglect to mention that is for the Department of Defense. Is it really that awful to remove that type of research from just that department?

Background: TSMC Arizona was announced in May 2020.

How so? There was no mention of the government taking action against the company to cause the company to fail. If a company is failing without government contracts, that is on them and not the government.

How so? Please give very specific answers which don't include the normal business practices afforded to every other business or incalculable garbage.

Or maybe you are just blind to the realities of normal people. Most people are not hell-bent on burning fossil fuels. There are numerous valid reasons for people to continue to choose ICE. I want an EV. I want to dump every piece of outdoor equipment with an ICE for something with an electric motor. I very much prefer the pieces I have switched to electric. I've been wanting to make the switch for years. It just does not make sense for me at this time.

> It only takes a friend to send a photo or meme through WhatsApp to get you in trouble.

Does it? The particular meme which was claimed to be the issue is something the administration and people on the right enjoy. I can't see anyone on the side of the administration being vindictive for having that meme.

> Recently, there was news about a visitor rejected because of a JD Vance meme, so this is not hypothetical.

Everything I've seen indicates the administration and the right love those JD Vance memes. Why would they reject "one of their own"?

> Meanwhile, I'm going to download the app right now. Thanks, Streisand effect!

You know they could be going for the Streisand effect. I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to add false incidents to reduce the effectiveness of the app. Nothing will get those people riled up like a court ruling in favor of the app. In the end, it could work to the administration's favor to have the app up and running. Nothing like acting all offended in public then celebrating privately as unnecessary fear and confusion sets in with false reports.

> If there was an ice raid near me i'd like to know so i can avoid the traffic.

So a traffic app?

Bureaucrats write what falls under the CFR. Congress writes the US Code. Unless there is something in the US Code which specifies the period in which the licensee must have 50% of the satellites in place, the bureaucrats can change the rules in the CFR. Somehow I doubt Congress was that detailed. They likely just passed the buck to let the bureaucrats specify the details.

> after all, it will turn your $1M into $2.5M, no?

Um, no. The graphic intends to show money spent by all parties on housing. The original party pays $1M and receives $300k for the plots of land. The subplot parties then send $500k to build houses. There is nothing which is magically turning a $1M home into multiple homes without additional capital.

> if it's a 2.5x investment cheat code for the fastest actors

It isn't a 2.5x investment cheat code. You're spending $1M for the original home. You're spending $500k on the construction of each new home. That's $2.5M invested. They would need to sell each house for more than $1.5M each for a "2.5x investment cheat code". If the original house cost $1M, how are they going to sell 4 houses with less land at a higher asking price? Even if they somehow managed that, do you honestly think sellers in the area aren't going to catch on?

I think you missed the actual point of the graphic. It is to point out that the laws enable cheaper housing. Instead of people having to pay $1M for a single home, you're enabling 4 homes at $700k or less each.

Quoting the whole bloody thing is meaningless when the added bit adds nothing to the context. Nothing about the "added context" says they won't sell the data. If anything it just improves the case that they are going to sell the data.

In the US, Metronet uses CGNAT. There's another local ISP which uses it. They use it because they're small, growing, and cannot afford enough v4 IPs. They also have no plan to switch to IPv6.

> we're still not even at 50% IPv6 usage

Partially due to companies like Metronet whose focus is on growing rather than doing what it should be doing.

Dungeon architecture? What's that?

How many developer jobs are due to startups? I can't imagine enough to really affect the job market all that much. There's a lot of people out there looking.

>> It may not be caused by AI, but it is going to affect hiring numbers from now on.

> That remains to be seen. I can say with high confidence that we did not have tech that was capable of reducing the need for engineers from 2022 to 2024. It's hard to predict the future.

If I can run some small models locally which helps me significantly right now, I don't really think it is hard to make the jump to needing fewer engineers overall. I've seen people paying for the big models do even more.

> If anything, AI hype is actually helping keep many of us employed.

AI is also going to keep many of us unemployed. I'm running a small version of Deepseek R1 locally and it does an extremely good job of predicting of where I'm going in a number of situations. I went to pull out some code into another function. As soon as I finished typing the name of the new function, it immediately suggested the exact code I was planning to move into the new function. All I had to do was hit tab. I didn't have to do the copy and paste myself. This was thirty lines of code and it chose the correct starting line and ending line.

> * The Section 174 changes went into effect, requiring all software to be expensed as R&D, which means it can't be deducted from profits directly and instead has to be amortized over 5 years [0].

I get the short term initial issue. I don't see why it would be an issue to stick current level of staffing until it normalizes 5 years later. I'm not sure this was ever a major issue. It just seems like a convenient excuse to cover up something else.

Interest rates are obviously definitely an issue.

> this is not caused by AI.

It may not be caused by AI, but it is going to affect hiring numbers from now on.

Biden didn't need to specify anything. The EPA is the only organization I am aware which can enact anything to force the automakers to electric. Just adjust the standards to something which is near or absolutely impossible to hit without the desired number of electric vehicles. The EPA was more than willing to take care of it.

https://www.epa.gov/regulations-emissions-vehicles-and-engin...

"These standards set the light-duty vehicle greenhouse gas (GHG) program on track to provide a strong launch point for the Agency’s next phase of standards for MY 2027 and beyond. EPA is planning to initiate a separate rulemaking to establish multi-pollutant emission standards under the Clean Air Act for MY 2027 and later that will speed the transition of the light-duty vehicle fleet toward a zero-emissions future consistent with President Biden’s Executive Order, 'Strengthening American Leadership in Clean Cars and Trucks.'"

> This whole thing was totally overblown.

No, it isn't. If the battery was broken and they knew the battery was broken, they should have informed the user the phone could be fixed with a new battery. They decided to gimp the device and not tell the user so they would be more likely to purchase a new device rather than simply fixing the old one.

> what do you want to do that is entirely local?

Keeping my daily life from becoming public? These companies can't be trusted with the information they have. Why should I give them more that they can leak?

Wrong. It's more about money. People who run ISPs have said they don't support IPv6 because they won't see any return on the cost. These ISPs use CGNAT and like to solve customer "issues" by selling them a static IP. They would sell far fewer static IPs and actually have to look into issues rather than dilly dally around a bit so the static IP "fixes" the issue. They like to blame issues on other nefarious customers causing shared IPs to be banned or something like that.

Wrong. Second point criticizes the mandate.

>>> They were ignored, and days later, the Biden Administration mandated the vaccine.

It's one thing to ignore the issues and allow people to choose to take the vaccine. It's entirely different to force people to take it.

Aside from firing most of them, what did he do?

> When your appetite is crushed you don't go for the chicken breast, you go for what is immediately appetizing (usually carbs+fats like pizza or fries).

Um, when your appetite is "crushed", nothing is particularly appetizing. That is the entire point. It allows one to make better decisions or pass on eating.

> A kind of stealth hearing aid....

I've had hearing aids for years. People don't notice unless you don't have much hair or you have to have the industrial strength ones.
