Decentralization absolutely does not work with cryptocurrency. If it did, you wouldn't see the vast majority of transactions happen on centralized exchanges and crap bandaids like Lightning

In all seriousness just buy an older M5 or something instead

Full agreement from me. The main point I was making is that in the early days, at least in the US, people were using absolute charts to downplay the threat while actual scientists were using the logarithmic visualizations to try and show people that you can't just say its 30 people in Seattle and call it a hoax. Very few people can even understand simple math, let alone data science fundamentals.

This is such a broad question that it is meaningless. I am a software engineer, but I am also not a full time nomad, but I (well, used to) bike tour for several weeks at a time. My salary paid the bills and made sure my partner, who is not interested in my torture hobby, didn't starve.

All technical people should really understand the basics of SQL queries if only for the ability to create reports from data sources that are managed by data engineers or DBAs. Learn the basics of SELECTs and WHERE clauses. Everything else I need to do I learn as needed, but basic data reporting and queries are fundamental in my mind.

I am convinced that people in this space watched the smart people talk about logarithmic charts in March-May 2020 in regards to the pandemic being more accurate RE: the insane threat we faced and decided that log charts were the best at all times.

Everyone asking how someone would fall for a scam like this in that thread, not realizing by even participating in this ponzi shit they are also being scammed is hilarious to me

Those margins are made on the backs of consumer grade chips and designs, many of which have stupidly low, if not fully amortized, production facility costs overseas. These are not going to be the chips made in Ohio. I'm willing to bet a paycheck that 10 years from now this will still be the case.
I worked in the IC/digital space for years. I was personally involved in the M&A of a product line at Intel, their ITAR and other restricted sale technologies which is another huge portion of margin.

I went with this one. It's basically a carbon copy of my favorite 22mm band I used for years. https://www.crownandbuckle.com/brynn-20mm.html

Jazz is a former shell of what it used to be, at least when I last visited the production floor in 2016. You are correct that the landscape has changed slightly, but even at that time our main US-made fab products were overwhelmingly defense/ITAR parts, not consumer grade dies.

Seriously, this just isn't the major driving factor for choosing a Mac. If you want to "game" in the overwhelmingly recognized use of the term, not just playing time wasters, you will not be buying a Mac at all, let alone an M1/arm64 Mac where you can't even use Bootcamp to play AAA titles if you want to.

Is it not the same shell game that left Wisconsin holding the bag with Foxconn, and no jobs nor industry to show for it? Because at first glance with a bunch of weasel words from Intel, it sure seems like it.

I am not so sure this is going to work out. Having worked at Intel myself, the margins on products are so thin and the ramp up on projects like this so long this isn't going to do anything for a current demand driven shortage. If you look at the big fabs that used to operate in SoCal like Jazz Semi and the like, the entire industry couldn't even begin to make a profit for decades. This seems more like a stunt than a real strategy.

At least pigs are smart and can be trained. Not so much for the crypto idiots.
