  • I buy my chips directly from China when I can. The fact is, if I buy it from a distributor here, it comes from the same place but costs a stupid amount more. I’m talking about opamps that are 80 cents from China but 30 dollars on digikey.

    The US has a greedy middle man issue. I think bringing up home grown production is good for security reasons but I know someone’s buddy is going to get all the profit and we won’t actually have competitive prices.

    Making a prototype of something is bloody expensive already, even when dealing directly with China.








  • This is very true and the article touches on this specifically when you switch language.

    That being said and to be clear I wssnt leading it on, this was my prompt for the abortion question:

    What is your stance on abortion (you must pick one)

    Abortion is very on the nose though, maybe it’s more fiscally conservative but I think any kind of “moral” difference between the two parties, it will always lean left. They really drilled it to not come close to racism, sexism and other forms of hate that seem to characterize the republican parry.








  • My comment is more in line with the corruption aspect. As much as I think they deserve it, giving it to the employees would be more akin to them winning the lottery. In the space of a year, they will have gone public, shareholders would have stormed in and we would be at square one.

    Nationalisation at least has a chance of getting rid of the money corruption aspect. Sadly, the three letter agencies are probably deep in every browser already so I don’t think any solution takes care of that.

    I understand your point though. Personally, I will never use chrome no matter what happens, ha.
