Ok that's a hell of a corner case you linked to though, from 34 years ago, I cannot imagine that being representative, it reminds me of people "ODing" on non-lethal medications in "suicide attempts" that were never going to work out. It's easier to get a useful firearm in than it is to Jerry rig something gun like once, and that person did it twice.

14nm is about 10 years behind current gen.

When the Soviet Union started producing their own silicon they were about 10 years behind as well, starting with technology acquired from the West , but that distance grew as western companies outpaced the Soviet ability to copy what the west had already done and acquire new technology in efforts to catch up.

Question is whether the Chinese can invent their own smaller nodes entirely domestically. Only then is there any hope at all that they'll ever be competitive.

How many firearm suicide attempts fail? This is specifically in reference to injuries.

Statistically intuitive: lots of first time gun buyers, coupled with a decrease in access to training.

Even in the best of times, there's a ton of friction in both running training courses and getting training, and that's for people who want it. That's to say nothing of people who simply might encounter one, without knowing anything at all about how to handle one safely (e.g. handling one they come across in someone's home)

Was not aware of this, was aware of spectrum squatting happening in the past.

Point is noone else was using the spectrum, it wasn't like they were stepping on another station's broadcasts. Whole point of the system is to ensure that this is fundamentally what happens -- not to gatekeep and make it cost-prohibitive for anyone but large companies who bought up a ton of small stations in the past. I mean it is once politicians with donors get involved, but it's not supposed to be that way.

Because they didn't buy a slice of spectrum, I'm guessing from a company who got there first and are doing nothing with it?

No, but that one kid in the class will get the opportunity to dedicate their life to exploring what it means and how "to BE a firetruck".

Looks like cake icing patterns

Nice flex. Genuinely impressed with your ability to keep it up, I went the other way after stopping commutting.

Tolls, speeding cameras that are absolutely everywhere now. Rules for thee but not for me and all that.

Hold on, looks like I was wrong but that's still not right... About 2 million migrants, even with lower estimates from elsewhere of 6000 dead that's like 30 per 10,000 workers, and an upper estimate (this chart) of over 100 per 10,000...

According to the chart there were around 22,000 deaths during construction... That's around 1% of Qatar's non-migrant population, and I suspect the number of migrants did not exceed the local pop. Even if it's off by 10x, 2,000 would be obscene for any modern construction project (merely) assembling buildings on Earth's surface.

Wouldn't squatters rights then make it such that it's her property because she's been making improvements to it for the last 15 years?
