varshithr··on Pictures from the 1939 New York World's Fair (2017)
This looks awesome. NY looks way ahead of its time. I can't believe its 1939.
varshithr··on GlobalFoundries sues TSMC, wants U.S. import ban on some products
Makes sense to do so.
varshithr··on GlobalFoundries sues TSMC, wants U.S. import ban on some products
GlobalFoundries(GF) was part of AMD and now AMD relies heavily on TSMC. If this ban they are seeking goes through, does it affect AMD?

I think GF gave up on 7nm node a while ago, So maybe AMD is safe here.

varshithr··on Indian Navy Ruined Its $3B Nuclear Missile Sub by Leaving Its Hatch Open
One of five INS Arihant class submarines is lost and this could be a potential (albeit expensive) lesson in dealing with such instances in the future right?

Failures definitely teach us a lot.

varshithr··on India Plans to Launch Moon Mission in July

Doesn't Chandrayaan mean a journey to the moon?

varshithr··on China ready to hit back at U.S. with rare earths
I thought efficiency, economies of scale and productivity were the points for establishing a global supply chain. Consider containerization, large ships for transport - the cost of transportation is next to nothing.

Take iPhone for example, do you think it would cost less if it was manufactured entirely in the USA (down to the components)?

I would love to hear a counter-argument or example. Thanks.

varshithr··on China ready to hit back at U.S. with rare earths
This is bad for the whole world and reduces the efficiency of the global machine. Now countries have to explore more expensive mines to make up for the demand which could have easily been avoided. It feels like someone is dialing back the productivity of the entire world.

varshithr··on IPv6 breaks the 25% barrier
Yes. That's what I thought too.
varshithr··on IPv6 breaks the 25% barrier
Is it usually cellular ISP that first adopt IPv6? Because there's been a new disruptive player in telecom space called Jio and I am guessing they are behind this rise in IPv6 popularity.
