I remember the Loma Prieta quake in 1989. I was in Mountain View talking on the phone to someone in Santa Clara. He suddenly said, "Whoa, did you feel that?" After he said it, the room started shaking.

TSMC not only has the most advanced fab processes but also the supply chain to deliver globally. It would take an America company such as Intel a long time to replicate TSMC in both ways. We are just not set up for it today, but it is not impossible. The best way to make it happen is for the head of TSMC to rub our noses in it and say we could never do it.

I cannot imagine how much real-world testing for technologies such as this is going on in Ukraine. This horrific war must be an arms manufacturer's dream come true.

Reply to Who controls TikTok? ByteDance unable to allay fears in the West over Chinese state influence and data access by Saltedline
I doubt if the Chinese government has complete control of TikTok. Governments rarely if ever create anything so popular and successful. They will probably start 'controlling' it, effectively making it unpopular, then sell it to Facebook.

Reply to Foam/paste that can be injected into a hole and when it hardens, it's as strong as hardwood? by flying-benedictus
If the properties of the 'fix' are stronger than the things being 'fixed,' the stress just moves outward, which might later be a bigger problem. I rely on strong railing, as it might need to support a lot of unsteady weight. Try to find studs to anchor, even if it means additional anchors.
