Which is exactly why I brought up CANDU. I’m quite familiar with the regulatory climate, but to claim that the US has one? It’s just wrong. The US has a selective, politicized, total fucking joke. If you want absolute fucking proof of it, go look at every accident and incident at Davis-Besse. Read more

Yeah, TI still has their DMOS and BiCMOS and the specialty fabs. Probably because nobody else has anything that old left, and if it ain’t broke don’t tape out new silicon. Plus they have contracts with some others (I know X-Fab as part of the sale agreement, not sure who else.) Read more

And then you find out that GM actually shipped this:

There’s a reason I tell people: “do not go full hard way.” Remember, I have done this. The hard way is not having an RI do all the legwork. The full hard way, is suicide and failure.

What, you don’t have a BGM-109 Tomahawk?

Oh, the privilege of ruining the environment. Read more

I looked at the Porsche Cayenne Diesel. Dieselgate edition, no less. I actually rather liked the Cayenne. It was comfortable, it felt nice, and it had a killer warranty. Read more

Yes. Do not pour Clorox in your eyes. Instead, use:

We had an open, non-gated parking lot and 24/7/365 armed security at a former employer. And strict ‘nothing leaves here’ areas which were enforced by searches entering and exiting. Read more
