One other thing I wanted to mention is that you really have to be apprehensive about regulations in this instance because the "big guys" are suddenly calling for regulations. This is because they benefit from extra regulations because it strangles small start ups that can't deal with the new regulation requirements and makes any start up far more capital intensive when interest rates are rising. This could stifle competition and make this tech more expensive for all of us and even possibly deny more innovation in the space. There are reasons to be cautious but also skeptical as this tech is just in it's infancy.

I think that has more to do with the type of LED bulb chosen than all LED bulbs in general. The ones in my house (warm) are just fine, and so efficient.

ah the old Russia bad boooo boooo AND America so great lol I think these articles can only be writen is they take all sides seriously. People remember the arabic spring?? Where the youth got brainwashed to play a coop? guess who was behind these things and current day propaganda on social media including this piece. Its really easy to spot when you know where to look.....

It's pretty fast already, this seems like something we should have worried about years ago. I don't think AI is going to make it much worse than it already is. The benefits far outweigh the costs. There is diminishing returns on fake news like anything else. Maybe if we worried about this 5 years ago. Now it seems like chasing the horse after it already left the barn.

Yes, you are right, just decided to make a joke about Facebook moms.

>Out in the world, I noticed more and more public spaces had a frigid cast and a liminal flicker.

The author does have a point there. They have been slowly transitioning our neighborhood to LED street lights. It feels out of place, as if they are turning street corners into tiny prison yards. Sure, it lights the ground, but it's essentially spot lighting, not general area lighting. So rather than making a street feel lit up, it's more like aliens trying to beam up a sample of pavement or yard every 20 feet or so.

This may have an upside, some of the demagogues are going to have to actually talk to constituents in person and listen to experts once in a while

Hope it does well!

Unlike an incandescent light bulb, which produces a continuous spectrum of light, LEDs emit light at a particular wavelength. They mix LEDs in a bulb to get a certain spectrum of light. If you don’t like the light coming out of your LED bulb, look for one with a different spectrum. Common ones come in amber, soft white, bright white, cool white, or daylight spectrum ranges.

Bro, corporations only exist on paper, corporations are just groups of people like you and I. I am all for criticising them but the reality is that we are just criticising ourselves.

SEOUL/TAIPEI, March 30 (Reuters) - The criteria for new U.S. semiconductor subsidies is worrying companies such as Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (005930.KS) and SK Hynix Inc (000660.KS), South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said on Thursday, a concern shared by the world's leading contract chipmaker in Taiwan.

Conditions include sharing excess profit with the U.S. government, and three industry sources said the application process itself could expose confidential corporate strategy.

Yoon met with United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai in Seoul, and asked the U.S. government to consider companies' concern over an "excessive level of information provision", the presidential office said.

Subsidies would come from a $52 billion pool of research and manufacturing funds earmarked under the United States' so-called CHIPS Act, for which the Commerce Department announced guides and templates this month.

SK Hynix parent SK Group plans to invest $15 billion in the U.S. chip sector, including to build an advanced chip packaging factory, and has said it is considering applying for funding. Samsung is building a chip plant in Texas that could cost more than $25 billion and has said it is reviewing the guidelines.

However, funding applications may require detailed cost structure information as well as projected wafer yields, utilisation rates and price changes, which three Korean chip sources told Reuters was akin to revealing corporate strategy.

"All of this is confidential information. The most important thing in chips is cost structure. Experts will be able to tell our strategy at a glance," said one of the sources, who declined to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter.

Speaking at an industry event in Taiwan, the chairman of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSMC) (2330.TW), the world's largest contract chipmaker, said it had concerns too.

"We are still discussing with them. There are some conditions that cannot be accepted. We hope that they can be adjusted so there will be no negative effect. We will continue to talk to the U.S. government," Mark Liu told reporters.

TSMC is investing $40 billion in a new plant in Arizona.

The U.S. Department of Commerce will protect confidential business information and expects that the requirement to share excess profit will only occur where projects significantly exceed projected cash flow, a Department of Commerce official said, citing its notice for the funding.

It will accept subsidy applications for leading-edge chip facilities from March 31, and for current-generation, mature-node and back-end production facilities from June 26.

Also on Thursday, South Korea's parliament approved a bill offering large tax breaks to strategic industries - including the semiconductor industry - which invest at home, to strengthen supply-chain security while boosting the economy.

The approval comes in the same month the government announced a 550 trillion won ($424 billion) private-sector investment plan to maintain the competitiveness of high-tech industries while other countries are actively bolstering theirs.

There is already so much stupid people in the tech sector we do not need people purposfully being stupid too lol

Lmao found the alien

Except those mainstream media outlets with their checks notes well researched journalism and cited sources

For sure. People bemoan the fact they can’t send and access money instantly but also don’t like getting scammed. Somewhere, there’s a trade off like in all other forms of security.

What, other than the actual article correction saying that the estimate was not factual 🤣

Here, one of the two names for “raccoon dog” is waschbarhund, meaning wash bear dog bc a raccoon is called a wash bear.

Crew Dragon is getting a lot more reliable than Space Shuttle at least. The F9 itself maintains an absurd launch cadance and the upper stage itself is relatively simple.
