Do we not have better uses of our money. Also the irony considering recent moves by the US government in terms of control of the internet and free speech.

Thankfully, in most industries that use tungsten carbide, there is a lot of recycling of the material (though probably not enough.)

Like anything, it's a complex problem, with no easy answers.

Your parents are part of the problem. The ER isn't supposed to be used that way.

No, it does not.

Is telling people that they can't tell other people which words they use a form of language policing?

(In a thread concerning Plato, I thought this question needed to be asked.)

Also, if these things were out there in such a large supply, I would have expected some hacker would have literally found an old board and found the chip and presented it to the world as evidence.

In terms of a coverup, this was during the first Trump term, and he's not exactly a fan of China, so I don't see any real reason the entire US business and intelligence community would keep it a secret (never mind the fact that if they can keep it a secret... and contact their traditional ways of leaking, not Bloomberg.)

I'm not saying it didn't happen, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and there has been effectively zero evidence presented.

And I'm not debating the fact that I'm sure it can happen and will happen. But let's stick with facts, not just some rumors.

(This post written without an AI summary.)

But since this does seem like a government subsidy, I predict over the longer term this will only hamper US companies, not help them. And when this exemption inevitably disappears, US companies will end up further behind because they did not have to compete to the same level as other international corporations.

America has always bent the international order for it's own ends, but it seems like the real innovation and competitiveness that we did have is slipping away and we're left with nothing but trade barriers and monopolies. It's not going to work out well long term I predict.

I'd also add that since it was literally The Times newspaper which created the font, and it was considered one of the papers of record for the time (no pun intended), the font was probably designed to have a sense of accuracy, truth and authority. In other words, the institution that created the font is very much part of the socially constructed aspect of this font. In this case giving it that air of authority via it's relationship with a newspaper of record.

From reading the article, it appears the answer is no. Has anyone made a TNR digital font that would account for how it would look if printed on 1900's newsprint?

I'm interested in the laborers who did the work, not just the scientists who designed everything.

Thanks for your story.

Or we should just have "STS" (Short Term Support) after the board names to let others know the board will be essentially obsolete (based on lack of software updates) in two months.

Call me when the party starts. Many of the decisions this administration has made are having the opposite impact. The re-industrialization of the US (what little bit of it there is) is in spite of the trump administration, not because of it.

But, how's that's going for us recently...
