You are misinterpreting the study. They are interested in the change in lean body mass wash-in to post RT because that is the lean body mass that can be attributed to more than just the initial increase from simply taking creatine. The increase in females that you cite is including that initial increase, which is not interesting.
These industries squeezed the blood out of US suppliers to compete on cost. I don't think a correct solution is the government building capacity and supply chains.
IMHO a more sustainable strategy is the government taxing the environmental and human rights externalities of off-shore production.
1. I suspect that you don't realize that Taiwan is a (to
many) surprisingly first-world place. "environmental and human rights externalities" is not a very large issue in this context. It's not like mainland China/PRC.
2. I think both e.g. US and EU should have their own chip-manufacturing infrastructure. We need more robustness at a global scale in this area.
3. Taiwan needs (and deserves) US/EU support. TSMC has turned into a geopolitical play - it seems like Taiwan feels like they need it to avoid a PRC invasion.
Taiwan needs support yes, but the US isn't helping. Poking China by sending warships to patrol its borders makes us the bad guys. If China did what we do we would have WW3 instantly.
The us is navigating international waters that China is trying to claim as theirs in fact they claim territorial waters from all their neighbors international treaties be damned. Thus they are in conflict with everyone around them.
It almost sounds like you are saying that if China sailed ships in international waters it would start a war. They do that all the time, and have been doing so for decades. Did I miss a world war?
Before there is an inevitable response “But, China doesn’t patrol 100km off the coast of US” - yes, also China has no allies with defense treaties near US, ie Mexico and Canada. In fact, China has just one ally - North Korea.
If a developing country handled all environmental regulations, etc. there would -still- be a profit to be had, unless shipping winds up negating that profit. Logically speaking a less developed country will still have lower overall wages.
While this means the countries may develop slower, they will likely/hopefully wind up with less concentrated wealth (hiring more workers instead of a few people pocketing all the profits.)
I would hope that such taxes would be used towards environmental or humanitarian efforts, to be a proper 'offset' tax.
Doing so will likely result in some short term shocks, but a more sustainable society overall. My hope is that when prices would go up in such a scenario, consumers would again care about how long something lasts in big enough numbers that we have a less disposable society.
Which “developing” countries are running world class fabs these days? Taiwan and South Korea are definitely first-world countries, as much so as the US.
This type of government/corporate collaboration is similar to how other traditional industries like autos, oil & gas, steel, etc., usually operate. That's because the capital cost of building factories and supply chains exceed the private sector's ability to tolerate the risk of such investments. And a big reason why the risk is so high is because the business is both unpredictable and low margin.
This has never been an issue in the semiconductor industry until now. Demand was always increasing and margins have been high enough to allow them to self-fund. If semiconductor companies now need subsidies to expand then we are probably past the "exponential growth" era of semiconductors. Technological gains will be much slower and much more consistent with traditional industries rather one that what we're use to.
That proves too much. There’s nothing inherent in the paper that grants any rights and privileges. It’s the legal system that does that. A digital token is either meaningless (if the legal system doesn’t recognize it) or massive overkill (if the legal system treats it the same as a wet signature).
Title companies are fading away with the advent of digital land registries (using plain old boring databases).
As usual for “like X but with a blockchain” this is a solution in search of a problem. Because despite all the protestations to the contrary the real motivation for crypto is not providing useful goods or services in exchange for reasonable compensation, it is getting rich by being an early adopter.
That does introduce the risk that people actually use this. Now, this page is a gimmick, a historical artifact. If it were actually used by more than a handful of users, that would be right alienating for new users, especially if it's a fixed date that you have to manually update.
This is why I think a big land grab will happen for ETH. And even though I think bitcoin is grossly overvalued, ETH could accelerate and possibly surpass bitcoin in terms of paid-in capital. PoS, at least in theory, creates future cash flow. Not a fan of crypto but Vitalik is one of very few people in the crypto space with genuine good intentions and intellectual curiosity.
he also has a %70 premine of this coin with his buddies. Eth also have a dynamic issuance schedule exactly like USD, EUR or any other fiat. Except instead of a Central Bank, a few devs decide it.

Poor interpretation of the study.
