On the other hand, if the problem isn't so much the technology as the cost of building a new fab (as the $1.5 billion figure suggests), why haven't any of the existing chip manufacturers tried something like this?

Date: 2018-08-06 11:43 am (UTC)I think it takes nation-states down either a route of more democracy, more egality, more social cohesion or it takes them down a route of spending a lot of time and money and effort on repression.
I believe that more democratic, egalitarian and socially cohesive states have a long term economic advantage but are often vulnerable to disruption from more focused represive states.
