Discussion Intel's past, present and future

[DAPUNISHER]

What about half of everyone?

The internet has taught me that half is made of cake.

It’s weird watching the Trump admin make tech policy and conservatives suddenly don’t want to talk about how policy impacts tech on a tech forum.

Fucking cowards

It's almost like Republicans talking about government over reach, and picking winners and losers was just a big joke.

Depends. In almost all cases yes. But if it's something like the government mobilizing Ford or GM or other American companies for war production in order to fight the Axis in WWII then I'm okay with it.

Obama blowing 500 million on Solyndra to "feed" his friends and then get paid a half mil for a speech here and there, then not so much.

If Intel is the ONLY chip production facility in the US, then yes, we have to keep them around in some capacity for basic survival.

Error 404: Obama blowing 500 million on Solyndra to "feed" his friends

Also getting angry at Obama's speeches AFTER he is out of office is just weird. Unless you have evidence he was being paid for speeches while he was President.

I was citing an example of why in general I don't like the gov getting into the private sector (funding).

I know I "bit" on the politics started here and I wish I had not.

I will keep it to the cpu's moving forward.

Counterargument: only the government is willing to take bets on new technologies that offer to transform society. A good government wisely invests for its people. Like any investment portfolio, not all of them will pan out. But those that do produce revolutions in their fields
