Trains are one thing, modern chip fab is a completely different. Buying older equipment is not going to get them anywhere but into the production of chips that have been on the market for 10 years already.

This is one industry where each generation has hard limits for manufacturing.

Huh. TIL Colorado has a Canadian border. I've been in CO for almost 10 years and didn't know that.

Canadia just uses the fancy rich people word for state: province.

But they are buying mature-node equipment, says the article. That doesn't mean shit other then more cloning and counterfeiting.

Yeah. Russia did the same to protesters who held blank signs after the invasion of Ukraine.

Well, you might need to do a bit of creative hacking with pinning/unpinning multiple posts. You would have a community with "sub categories" of a pinned posts. Each comment under that post could be voted on.

Radio telescopes. While I don't know the complete process of how an image is created, it's likely a composite of hundreds of thousands of points where radio wave strength was measured.

A very basic explanation is that each radio antenna likely takes a reading of some kind for each equivalent pixel in the resulting image. Over time, you can build an image.

Again, I don't know the full details of how the full image is recreated. It seems super complex reassembling millions of data points from antennas that are located on a rotating earth that is also rotating around a sun. The position of the earth probably has a huge impact on radio signal strength at any given time.

Of the several times I have brushed death, none of those times included a chant to a god.

My typical response in my head was "Ah fuck. This is going to be a fun ride.", or a variation of those words. It usually involved some dark sarcasm, now that I think about it.

(Working on an aircraft carrier flight deck is extremely dangerous and sailors can delop some morbid humor as a result. I ain't saying it's right, but that it's just a thing. Stress response is weird.)
