More heart and grit When a Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) or a Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) stand up and call out Republican BS or CEO excess, it’s like a breath of fresh air to liberal politics. Not Jon Stewart brashness, exactly, but not the usual business-as-usual politics that is too easy for the press to ignore. Nerds. Maybe it’s because we’re nerds, rarely sure enough of ourselves to go straight at the opposition or stand up for ourselves. Democrats wanting to be liked are forever second-guessing themelves. Republicans will settle for being feared. Why else all the posing with guns? On one side of this Lord of the Flies narrative, Ralph and Piggy try to maintain order and improve living conditions on the island while Jack and his spear-armed tribe cohere around fear of the Beast (any real or imagined threat). The press preferences flash over substance and pays more attention to the former. Digby observed yesterday that the press under-reports Joe Biden’s economic accomplishments because he “hasn’t been entertaining enough for them.” Piggy wore spectacles. Jack’s “warriors” made spectacle.
According to SEMI’s market research group, China isn’t slowing down. SEMI is forecasting China’s capacity to keep growing at a significant rate over the next few years. For 300mm, SEMI expects China to have 29% of the worldwide capacity in 2026, increasing from 21% in 2022 (Figure 2). The 200mm capacity is expected to grow from 16% to 24%. And foundry capacity is expected to reach 42% in 2026 up from 27% in 2022, outpacing the Taiwan foundry capacity expansions.

In April of 1998, President Clinton was in the midst of an apology spree. Though he had yet to apologize for the still burgeoning Lewinsky scandal, the president had apologized on a trip to Africa that year for America’s role in the slave trade, as well as for his administration’s failure to respond immediately to the Rwandan genocide.
To diffuse criticisms over his constant contrition, Clinton decided to poke fun at himself at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he said as part of the riff, “I regret so much. I regret our long neglect of the planet Pluto. It took until 1930 to welcome Pluto into the community of planets, and that was wrong. And I am so sorry about disco. That whole era of leisure suits and beanbag chairs and lava lamps—I mean, we all had to endure the cheesiness of the ’70s, and that was wrong.” President Clinton went on to apologize for the size of the Susan B. Anthony dollar, the expression “happy campers,” and pineapple on pizza.

4. You have to be prepared to defend your work in front of a hostile audience, looking for any excuse to tear it apart.
5. A key aspect involves replicating the findings of others to determine if they’re “real or cap.”
6. Conservatives are convinced that whatever you’re doing is somehow helping China.
7. The whole system relies on people doing thousands of hours of unpaid work.
8. There’s a good chance someone else will get all of the credit and notoriety for an idea you came up with.
9. Behind the scenes, a large tech company is providing funding and pulling the strings.
10. Odds are you’re living with—or will soon be living with—your parents.
11. It’s depressing how much younger (and more talented) some of your peers are.
