Gwadar already is connected via highway to the rest of the country. The whole railroad works in Pakistan which are part of CPEC are delayed. That is well known. As for the electric grid connections, Gwadar is so far from the rest of the country, that they decided to make a power plant there instead. The whole thing is delayed. Since it wasn't initially funded it required a new line of credit.

I think part of the problem is that Pakistan wanted to use local companies to build the railway expansion. It got stuck into endless bureaucracy and never went anywhere. The industry in Pakistan is probably too underdeveloped for such a major project. At the same time, China uses a different railway gauge than Pakistan. So it is not like you can just directly import something without major changes.

Just the fact that Pakistan today has much more electric generation should have increased productivity due to less days with blackouts.

The highway and power plant projects seem to be getting built just fine. They even built a nuclear power plant. It is already delivering power to the grid in Pakistan.
none of this matter.
Pakistan lacks what India has achieved and bigger issue is failure to understand 21st century Arabic order. just look at the back of that BRICS currency.

Production yields in Arizona are 4 percentage points higher
The Phoenix plant began trial production earlier this year"

What ya think?

If you made 1 chip in your lab and it works, you just achieved higher yield than TSMC in Taiwan.
Arizona's final capacity is less than 5% of TSMC Taiwan and its likely just 1% right now, this news is exclusively by the math illiterate, for the math illiterate.

I kept telling everyone here that Israeli army is being vastly overestimated.

They got spanked hard by Hezbollah and therefore they have announced a 2 week break after taking heavy losses
The true scope of the slaughter will probably not be known for awhile. Didn't even last a month. From what I've heard, IDF is using grozny era tactics.

Also kinda vindicates the "Russia shouldn't kill Zelensky" crowd. Turns out getting rid of civilian leaders seemingly only make more people come out and fight, without compromising military strength.

Yea but look at WaPo's endorsement history and its editorial stance. WaPo not endorsing Kamala is really saying something.

My prediction
View attachment 137797
Apparently it's because Jeff Bezos killed the endorsements and Jeff Bezos owns WaPo.

Anyways, most Americans see it for what it is, biased trash media owned by greedy billionaires and endorsement or not won't change their votes.

That what I was thinking, of course you are going to get higher yields in low volume production that in high volume production, you can have 100% of yield making a wafer per day using Electron Beam Lithography. The trial by fire would be to ramp up volume and don't see those yields plummeted into oblivion.

"German politician wants to send NATO troops to Ukraine, to fight North Koreans!

"We should not allow such a thing. Who guarantees us that North Korean soldiers will not be deployed in the Baltics in a few years?""

...
They namedropping CN again.. with same narrative tho? I read somewhere b4 that NK was actually closer to moscow than cn even
This is in line with how at the start of the Ukraine war when US journalists had issue with seeing white people as wartime refugees; similarly it offends white supremacy to see Asian armies in Europe again like the return of Subotai and the Golden Horde.
Love how both Mark Cuban and Kevin O'Leary recently made comments about Chinese unfair trade practices. Two US sharks who can't handle the Chinese shark tank. And just like how they treat entrepreneurs who think they make opportunistic unfair deals, they can just say no to China. Don't blame China when you can't.
i still remember how gleeful Mr Wonderful o Leary was at the prospect of getting his cut from the theft of TikTok. Truly, these chosen people have taken Israeling companies as their divine right.


have the boomers or congress decided that if They’re going to die of old age, they must take the rest of the world with them? Apres moi, la deluge so to speak.

between this and the Elon Musk Tesla bots smokes and mirrors, looks like the West can't even "fake it until they make it" anymore these days

WaPo declining to endorse Kamala may not affect the readers, but it signals who the powerful elites are backing.

Team Trump:

Kamala Harris Has More Billionaires Prominently Backing Her Than Trump—Buffett, Gates Weigh In (Updated)​

I get the feeling that Kamala’s backers have the potential to be much more dangerous than Trumps backers. Both of those guys backing Kamala seem to have been in the game longer then Trumps and for some reason seem far more shifty although that just my bias against Elon Musk being a bit of a con man. Regardless, this election isn’t going to be straightforward at all
