  • Which of those projects will be ready by the time China invades Taiwan in early 2025? And how will those factories absorb all the global orders for chips when they’re not ready?

    for one, there’s no guarantee. Trump should want to protect taiwan, as it’s a strategically convenient point of interest.

    You are agreeing with me. Fabs are hard. Our people are stupid.

    well sort of, your argument is “well its hard and difficult so why should we ever try” my argument is “doing literally anything at all is going to be a better move.”

    Their people are smart. If their people are tied up in a war and dying, and their fabs are destroyed, and our fabs are half built

    yeah idk i think they would probably move to the US. The place where they are most likely to be able to fabricate again.

    you are unironically concern trolling with this post.












  • And when standing on the ground, the yell is louder, even though the military spent 80 million dollars on the jet.

    to be clear, i wasn’t the one that made that comparison. Naturally you can fly planes at altitudes other than one specific number, that seems to be a feature of most planes.

    i believe generally, in the space of planes, the ones that fly in the sky, not the mathematical ones. It refers to an operating altitude. However, i was using it to refer to that specific altitude. “operational altitude” for something like a military jet is not going to be specifically defined, compared to something like, a boeing 737 for example. There is likely to be a maxmimum operational altitude, naturally. Planes need air to fly through, obviously. But that’s irrelevant here, we’re talking about the ground.

    And when standing on the ground, the yell is louder, even though the military spent 80 million dollars on the jet. You’d be surprised how far cash can go in the right hands. (The right hands being critical)

    oh cool we’re just fucking, lying now. That’s the sound level of the f35 at altitude.

    “F-35 produces 115 db at ground level, on take-off”

    “F-35 at minimum (cruising) power at 1,000 feet was 103 db”

    “F-35 at 121 db at 1,000 ft, and 500 mph”

    (https://www.safeskiescleanwaterwi.org/noise-level-comparisons-f-35-and-other-aircraft/ ripped from here if you’re wondering)

    btw just for the record, talking about excessive cost of the f35 is extremely redundant. It has an incredibly high R&D cost but that’s literally because it’s the most technologically capable plane ever built. Over time given enough production and a probably 50 years of service, it will shrink in comparison.
