Apple is adopting the 2nm fab process for next year's iPhone:

If a Twinkie represents the 2nm process and we scale that up to real-world dimensions, the resulting Twinkie would be over 3,200 miles long and weigh 4.25 million pounds.

I forgot the German word for "rock" (vs. "Stein") and pulled out #Google Translate for assistance. Let's just say, like many of us, I do not think it is handling the current Zeitgeist very well.

I should probably stick to Langenscheidt.

"To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me. Yet, I was still detained for nearly two weeks."
I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them.

There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

Eventually you’d wind up with a tariff rate of infinity on total imports of zero dollars.

I always find it helpful to remember tariffs end with FFS.

There you have it. The Economic Policy Uncertainty Index (www.policyuncertainty.com) just hit an all-time high, surpassing its previous high from May 2020 - the teeth of the #COVID pandemic.

Consequences: worse investment climate, higher risk premia, (likely) higher interest rates...

And this will only embolden Putin and others because they now know they can get away with it. I suspect Taiwan is next.
Hegseth: "We must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective ... the US does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement."

Elon Musk's Enemy, USAID, Was Investigating Starlink Over Its Contracts in Ukraine
The agency was in the midst of a probe into the billionaire's company at the time of Musk's assault.
