If feature size doesn't matter why has EUV been so critical?
permatech··on The Legal Gray Zone of Marijuana at Airports
Is your friend Snoop Dog or Willy Nelson? Your friend should be very careful if he ever flies to Japan. Insane indeed!
permatech··on Universal Basic Income Can Work, and Here's How: Andrew Yang
If UBI is truly universal will it create inflation? Would there be some upper bound where taxes > UBI on certain individuals?
permatech··on Max Planck Society conducts bullying survey
Are you in the US or Europe? I’ve heard the term mobbing used in Germany but never the US. In the US bullying would apply to both adults and children.
permatech··on Cold-war-style suspicion of Chinese-American and Chinese academics
Nasty personal attacks? Give me a break!
permatech··on The US Decides Huawei's Cool After All
The story mentioned intel and Qualcomm but quite possibly Broadcom was/is lobbying hard behind the scenes. They have a long history with both ZTE and Huawei and a lot to lose from the blacklisting. Luckily they weren’t allowed to purchase Qualcomm when they tried

Guess I’ll resign myself to free speech jail...

permatech··on Cold-war-style suspicion of Chinese-American and Chinese academics
Any criticism of China is marked as flame bait.
permatech··on Cold-war-style suspicion of Chinese-American and Chinese academics
You make these sorts pro-China comments a lot. Why?
permatech··on I’ve Picked My Job over My Kids
Pointing out that Chinese leave their own country for the west as soon as they have the means to do so is a generic flame?

Maybe I don’t take enough of Joe R’s pills to better understand how I, as a white man, am oppressed my today’s society. I’m entitled to my reading of his media appearances just as you’re entitled to your regressive worldview
permatech··on My $3.3M Mistake (2009)
Sounds like the whole “set up a company and let us buy shares” was a tax dodge and this kid’s ignorance got him burned
permatech··on My $3.3M Mistake (2009)
His dad specifically told him he’d rather have his (offshore?) company buy shares than loan money. Tax dodge for sure
permatech··on My $3.3M Mistake (2009)
Well when your parents have you signing papers you never read from a young age. The lack of responsibility reminds me of another trustifarian; one in the White House

That JP is a regressive pseudo intellectual
permatech··on My $3.3M Mistake (2009)
Do we need to learn from people that fall into good luck because of family money?
permatech··on The side of Paul Allen I wish more people knew about
He mentioned it because it shows that while he hasn’t been in the rat race he’s done well enough to treat his family well. I’m happy for him, and honestly 20k isn’t that much money in the big scheme of things so he probably didn’t think of it as a brag

Can you tell me a more important one?
permatech··on I’ve Picked My Job over My Kids
You know, I think we would have still made it to the moon if those two guys spent time with their family
permatech··on I’ve Picked My Job over My Kids
Community is great, but a community of people who drink the kool-aid to get along and go along sounds awful.
permatech··on I’ve Picked My Job over My Kids
And yet so many Chinese continue to come to the US, it’s almost as if this bad ideas actually make a happier society
permatech··on My $3.3M Mistake (2009)
It’s actually just a humblebrag
permatech··on How to Speak Silicon Valley
You’re so brave for saying that
permatech··on Recovering partially lost Ethereum private keys for fun and profit
I have 75ETH (from pre-sale) and a rough idea of my password. I still have the JSON file and have tried script based brute force attempts with no luck -- is this tool for me? Or is this for if I know my password but the JSON file itself is corrupted?
permatech··on As Protesters Fill Hong Kong’s Streets, Businesses Are Alarmed, Too
I understand the concept of scorched earth -- I just didn't know that Switzerland had any such plan (perhaps during the Cold War?) ... I wanted to read more about their plan specifically if you have any links.

Tell me more about Switzerland's scorched earth policy
permatech··on Biggest Offender in Outsize Debt: Master’s Degrees
In engineering the quip was always "if you're paying for graduate school you're doing it wrong" ... to even get in the door for most hardware jobs fresh out of school you need a MS. A PhD may be preferred, and will start with a higher salary -- but put in ~5yrs instead of 2. As long as the tuition is covered and you make money as a TA or RA in a low-cost of living area you should come out ahead in the engineering field. Not sure how that translates to software.
