Legally it is very hard for a Mexican to move to the Midwest. As in almost impossible requiring almost 20years.

I am not Mexican but it toke my family 14 years to be able to move to the US from Palestine, although my grandparents and uncles have been here since the 80s. It really isn't hard.

A company doesn't need to move everything, they can just literally build a new factory or rent one else where, not only that they would even get tax breaks as incentives for moving.

Borders enforce the huge discrimination in pay between TJ and San Diego. Even though the same companies work on both sides of the border.

amazon isn't only retail. It is a logistics company. A data center company. An insurance company....

as long as you can buy the parts or have the HDL to deploy it on an FPGA you should be fine

well I do believe video transcoding chips have been there forever. But I think those chips should be tailored to their exact application making them more efficient

interesting theory but sounds more like a conspiracy theory.

In my opinion the thing that is leading most to inflation in addition to your points above, is that there are way too many land lords anyone who makes a little money goes and buys a house, increasing demand.

I do believe system76 laptops are almost completely open source other than the intel microcode.

I hope microcenter doesn't go the same route as fry's. they need to keep the knowledgeable staff, I think they need to up their game in staff to be honest. also they need to update their fing stock more often and more accurately. also as much as it pains me to have to travel 40 mins to get to one, a limited number of locations is key, it helps reduce costs down.

At a point in my life I liked that place but that was a very brief moment. I saw they did everything wrong, they staff wasn't knowledgeable and you wouldn't expect them to be at minimum wage. The isles I cared about most, the electronics component and the test equipment isles were always shitty, if I bought something it would never get restocked again.

The technology is mostly done by TSMC and ARM. Apple just modifies the cores and slaps them together.

well, my very powerful laptop barely every gets any noise. Most of the time it is silent until I am compiling something. It is of course apples fault as their cooling is suboptimum
