Nah he’s a bird，he could fly on outta there. A little singed, maybe, if he dawdled

that must be difficult
Keep making straw man arguments materially irrelevant to my comments and the testimony of tsmc themselves.
It’s easier to make your argument if you just make up your own story, isn’t it?
without all those pesky contextual facts and quotes getting in the way.
You’re misquoting the article and wildly misinterpreting my comments so that you have a straw man to throw a tantrum about.
Your make-believe is showing
I don’t understand the question
If you’re going to blindly insist on baseless believies instead of the direct available testimony of the literal TSMC chairpeople, employees and bosses there, that’s your issue.
enjoy your dreams.
TSMC specifically hires and promotes devout Christians for leadership positions and they say for all positions that Christian belief is important.
It’s in the attached article.
TSMC chairman Mark Liu says that “Every scientist must beleieve in God” and about TSMC’s work, “God means nature. We are describing the face of nature at TSMC”.
Important to note that this is Taiwanese culture, not Chinese; Taiwan is much more exacting in the finished product and generally much more attentive to human rights in terms of work culture, so it is not a direct correlation to what happened in the American Factory doc.
Which brings us to what I believe is the more salient point:
TSMC is very Christian and at least their top management likens their research, discoveries and manufacturing progress to faith-based divine revelation.
The symptoms of worker’s rights abuse may not be simple disregard for labor rights so much as continued religious fervor.

Their R&D is scientific, but their motivation, timelines and sheer effort is strongly faith-based, in the mindset that God has allowed them to get this far and will allow them to continue to progress no matter what technological hurdles appear.
Either way, labor rights have to be respected, but I wanted to point out that Taiwan and China are entirely separate countries with different work cultures and there’s another pretty important reason why outside workers might be put off by the zealotry with which tsmc focuses on developing cutting edge chip manufacturing.
“Supper Mario Broth stressed that the image is taken from manga which is ‘filled with jokes and eccentric theories’ and therefore ‘should be taken more as an interesting thought experiment than anything that would actually be endorsed by Nintendo’, but fans have still been stunned all the same.”
Still Awesome.
I’d like to see a gritty realistic interpretation of this.
Egyptologists are conservative and won’t allow any measurements of practically anything anymore.
No looking at the sphinx shafts/cavities (there’s an entrance up top), no tomb inspections, no measuring a bunch of stuff.
They even paved over a bunch of shafts for “restoration”.

Every time you hear about a new radar scan or whatever, it took years to get through the bureaucracy.
The collected sourced pictures appear to be accurate at any rate.
The great pyramid appears to have an octagonal base.

Not like a full equitable octagon, but four faces each split via a small concavity.
I think the attached picture is the original one an RAF pilot took at dusk when he noticed that the shadow wasn’t uniform across the face of one side.
I know the 8 sides are contested, some people say the concavity is an optical illusion.
I’m glad you’re being so heavily rewarded for this meme, because it is The best meme I’ve seen in weeks.
Nah, these are the exact standards US/euro cars are tested by, tested annually from regular production, not specially chosen cars.
Besides, it isn’t like American or European companies didn’t make production line cars that literally blew up if they rear-ended someone.
So far the manufacturing of exported Chinese EVs is doing very well, and each product is tested upon import anyway to make sure it conforms to the regulations of that country.
Tanking a potential market like this for the Chinese doesn’t make any sense right now, at least outside of their country it makes the most corporate and political sense to do what they’re doing and exceed European and American auto safety standards.
You should be more concerned about privacy invasion from the smart tech rather than the physical safety of the vehicles.
Oh yea, I hadn’t heard of that, good share.
That’s very cool
I think the US is hoping to buy itself some time while their EV manufacturing catches up, but they aren’t being practical about the limited effect of these tariffs and aren’t making the necessary domestic investments so far to compete with the level of manufacture the Chinese are at and the level the Japanese and a few other countries will be at in 5 years.
The market is still going to end up with safe, affordable EVs sooner than anyone thought, so I can’t get too worked up about the US not jumping into the race.
If they don’t want to catch up, then they get left behind.
They let others manufacture their TVs, computers, and toilet paper, it’s not unlikely they’ll let their national auto industry die as well.
Won’t matter much; Chinese EVs are so inexpensively made, especially with subsidies, while exceeding European and American auto safety standards that tariffs for the last five years haven’t stopped them expanding outside of Asia.
In addition, EVs are so much cheaper to produce, run and maintain for auto companies that tariffs aren’t going to make much of a difference stemming the continued EV manufacturing explosion.
Capacity and range will just keep going up, any tariffs have so far been and will be footnotes in EV story rather than any sort of relevant market mechanism
