>You do not need to defend an industry of billions for free.

And you could do better by being a little less preachy and a bit more pedantic, anecdotes and opinions are not facts after all.

ksquarekumar··on Britain stole $45T from India (2018)
Not a fan of revisionist theories and unsubstantiated fan fictions, but your idea of India being a British creation is utterly misinformed, India is a very old political entity and had been United under multiple nations states & empires throughout its recorded history.

Protectionism in agriculture is quite common all across the board is it not? And India doesn't even fare that bad If I am not recalling it correctly.

I agree with you in your assessment that protectionism breeds inefficiency, but you are imposing your strictly one sided take on 'what should be' without stopping to consider 'why it is',

it's an answer fit for a class of undergrads, quotes and all, but has little to no real world value as its so generalist in its assumption.

Economics is a black art, and subjectivity matters more than the principles.

ksquarekumar··on AMD's 5nm CPUs could be monsters
Intel is at 14nm and amd is at 7nm, yet the transistor densities are higher on the Intel side?

Do you have any source to back this claim? I know that node sizes are mostly meaningless at this point, but still this is invalidating 3 generations of node jumps on the TSMC/AMD side vs none on the intel side, surely it can't be that meaningless of a number?
