i see. so basically ASML design and TSMC/ Samsung fabricate.

does this also apply to intel and AMD processors? designed by them and fabricated by TSMC/Samsung

ASML supply the machines on licence which they all use to fabricate. Design is mostly done in the US. It applies to everyone. Nobody in this world is capable of fabricating a sub 10nm chip without ASML machines. No reverse engineering of their machines has been successful.

That is why I said you should read up on Moore's law. Military equipment and weapons don't care about space. A small bomb can easily weigh 200kg. That's enough space to fit a microchip irrespective of the size.

And the same applies for vehicles, missiles, jets, rockets, and all.

How much processor do you think the Soviets and US had in the rockets they used to get to space, Venus, Mars and even the moon?

Many Tecno phones even have better processors than those rockets. Yet, the rockets got it done.

So why do you think military weapons need better and smaller processors/microchips?

It makes no difference. Almost every weapon today is based on technology developed 30/40/50 years ago.

Weapons take decades to manufacture. Take the F-35 for instance. Research on it began in 1995 and that research was based on the Soviet Yak 141 which research began in 1975.

That's 30-50 years ago. What tech was used to develop it? What microchips were used? 2023 microchips? Or 1995 microchips?

Moore's law states that microchips get smaller, not better. A 1995 microchip will do what a 2023 one can do. The difference is that the 1995 own will be larger. But size isn't an issue since it will fit into a weapon.

Weapons are a broad field. Stop disturbing yourself unnecessarily. Access to those nanochips have implications across all fields of advanced human technology. Every video I have watched from experts on this field mention weapons as well as AI, phones and cars. Unless you know every weapon system in the world, you can rant about your 2 tonne bombs till the cows come home

Every chip making company in the world fabricating sub 10nm chips do so on licence from ASML. They are a world monopoly

⚡️🇷🇺 Russian oil exports back to pre-Special Operation levels despite West's crippling sanctions.

Crude oil and oil products exports were at highest level in March since April 2020, increasing by 600,000 barrels a day - International Energy Agency (IEA).

Moscow's revenue from oil exports last month stood at $12.7 billion.

Appleyard:
Sanctions in deed. It's Europe that is suffering.

They should express this in dollar terms comparison YoY, not barrells to fool the gullible

Of what use is selling 600,000 barrel of oil at $49 average to India when the market is selling at $70-$80. Russia has nearly blown it's yearly budget deficit target already by end of March. Propaganda for Putidiots.

GloriousGbola:
i actually thought the wars for processor superiority were between TSMC and samsung

They make the chips using technology on licence from ASML

Shoodboi:
As usual, you will begin talking all over the place. This was the comment you made earlier. Pay attention to the sentence in bold.

Are you saying there's no technological advantage to smaller chips allowing you to fit more processing power in the same space. Key word advanced. Same reason a computer that used to fit a house, now fit in your palm. There is advantage to that in every sphere, even in military

Shoodboi:
You keep bringing up non-issues just to make yourself appear important. If I asked you what a chip is or how it works, you won't be able to explain.

Have you ever heard of Moore's law? Maybe you should read up on that to understand why chips keep getting smaller. If you understand how chips work, Moore's
law will explain to you the difference between commercial and military grade chips.

Only commercial chips need to be small. That's because it allows our gadgets to be smaller and more powerful.

Military chips don't need to be small since weapons are not small and do not need to be small.

Instead, military chips need to be efficient. That's why countries like Russia and China and even the US will rather optimise the older and larger chips for military purposes than attempt manufacturing smaller ones.

Many US ships including their latest aircraft carriers launched about five years ago, use Windows XP. When was Windows XP released? 2001. And yet they use it in a "modern" ship. Why didn't they use Windows 11? Or 10? Or 8?

And what chips do you think Windows XP runs on? Today's chips? Or the ones manufactured in 2001?

Forget the noise western media is making about Russia buying chips. No country in the world will be dumb enough to use a microchip manufactured by a friendly nation in its own weapon, not to talk of one manufactured by a rival.

Russia will never buy or use a western microchip in a Russian weapons. Neither will China use western chips in its weapons.

China is only manufacturing smaller chips because it needs them for commercial products.

The US knows this too, but they keep making issues out of it and making noise about security and weapons so that people will support their moves to block China from manufacturing the latest consumers devices.

The size of a chip means nothing when we're talking military. Netherlands, as others have mentioned, is a small player. A cockroach in the midst of bulls, if I may say.

Nobody is arguing nothing with you. You are just talking off-tangent. I am only responding to those asking why Netherlands is important to the big players and China are interested in them, and you have just confirmed that China needs them to stay competitive in the tech industry. That makes Netherlands an important country and they are the only ones with the technology. I don't know why you Putin fanboys must get your backs up at everything. At least now you know why China is interested in Netherlands. If someone is not important, why is China complaining? Because they don't have it, simples.

This is the original post I responded to. At least some people will understand the context of why they are rushing Netherlands, while you continue your unnecessary grandstanding

Badassniggga:
pose what threat? How? LoL these tiny European countries actually think of themselves "Big and important" in the grand scheme of things. Na US I blame Sha.

The question is: what does Netherlands have that is of interest of Russia and China? Netherlands is too small and is a nobody, and no one gives a rats arse about her.

Amoto94:
For those calling for military involvement tune in to any news channel and watch the development in Sudan where military and paramilitary forces are engaged in fierce battles to gain control, continue calling for military maybe they will answer you and perhaps you'll be around to regret the resultant effects of your request.

Shedding weight is the ultimate solution to most of his injury problems. He's a clinically Obese person, so it won't be easy, but he must endure for the sake of his career.

Luke Shaw was.also.like.this too.few. years back. After he worked on his weight problems, he's now.completing over 40 games a season.

E go hard am. His family, both his dad and his sister, are like that and a lot of his weight is in his chest. Man weighs 91kg at 5ft 10. Even his sister weighs 79kg at 5ft 9. He was almost let go from the academy for his weight. He might have to convert to centreback long term, his build is not really for fullbacks

Kingsnairaland:
Even India buys Russia chip
. Russia has it own chip factory and you can Google it I did the research Google even hide it since Ukraine war began

I won't argue with you
. All the component military wise is all from Russia Russia don't buy any western part for missiles

Ask yourself why USA can't build non hyperbolic hypersonic weapons
. Which Russia invented.


This is just one firm

https://www.gizchina.com/2021/12/20/baikal-s-russia-made-its-first-competitive-chip-with-48-cores/

These are larger chips, many countries can make them. Only Netherlands have the technology to make the less than 10 nanometre chips which drive the most advanced technologies

Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley are set to be in charge of a summer clear out, Chelsea need to get rid of up to ten players BEFORE the next manager starts work.

[MattLaw DT]

as season end ,start immediately to dey sell no time to check time

Did they sign all these Technical Directors to identify talents that would help the squad or to undo all of Boehlys mistakes ?

I don't see how the strength of Technical Directors lies in selling players nobody will want to buy

They should have used their skills in identifying value-for-money players to buy, not to undo Boehlys mess after he has already blown the budget on maga signings.

Roland17:
I share similar sentiments. Well thought out!

Chioma knew what she was getting into when she decided to pursue marriage with Davido.

I just hope Davido protected himself and his assets before getting married in the instance a divorce becomes inevitable…which looks likely if you ask me.

As him mama no dey, how him wan Hakimi?

The life of an entertainer comes with infidelity. A nigga can't be touring the world for 3 months, girls throwing panties at him and be expected to go to the hotel and drink water, drop cup. In WuTang biographical series, Ghostface Killahs wife made a deal with him to play anyhow he wants on the road, but not to get attached to any one groupie. Chioma has signed up to that life.

Kingsnairaland:
.

Russia has it own chip factory.

What size of chip does it make. Only Netherlands has the technology needed to make the <10 nanometre chip used for advanced space and weapon technology and AI

Here's a couple videos that wil give you the picture of why they are all grappling over the Netherlands

Did you not see how China vanished jack ma for months and how the man has been completley cowed?

Can that happen in Nigeria?

Jack Ma is back. They brought him back cos things are slowing down and they need to calm the private sector

Havertz10:
Ibime, how is that American dream looking now?

Nearly everything that I have predicted have come to pass. riots, looting, social unrest, ideological decay, even kids aren’t safe, they are attacked psychologically and socially, everything has been redefined

They are ongoing discussions to legalize
incestual relationships
Pimping
Peadophilia
Drugs

As if that wasn’t enough, countries are pivoting away from the dollar, anybody with a dollar today is basically playing hot potatoes, the world is experiencing a paradigm shift, I can feasibly see world peace in my lifetime

I hope that you have an exit strategy because it’s only going to get worst in the west

My advice, pivot to eastwards.

You've now left economics to be talking like an end-time pastor

What's happening to Ruble? Is Lord Putin tired of spending Forex reserves? It's now worth less than before the war despite throwing tens of billions of Forex at it. I hope reserves aren't running low sha.

Netherlands have the most advanced chipmaker, the only of its kind in the world. All major powers countries are competing for it. Without their technology, no major power can stay competitive. These are the chips used for the most advanced weapons and AI and only Netherlands have the technology

Leemao. I think you may need a good accountant to help you navigate your new business endeavours. I charge in £s. Holla at ya boy ✌️

Slyfoxx001:
Are you some kind of fool or something? Never mind your highly disputable screenshots with no source or proper comparative figures, So Assets regardless of liability cannot be converted to cash? Your useless father obviously couldn’t afford to even send you for a Bsc.

Getting aggressive won't hide your schoolboy interpretation of equity

Let me break it down for you.

If you have assets of $100m and liabilities of $50m, your equity is $50m

If a judge awards me a $60m judgement against you, you are now technically insolvent as that puts you in a -$10m position.

Your marketcap is secondary and only reflects what shareholders trade amongst themselves. You can have marketcap of billions and go insolvent on your balance sheet and that's the end of you like Lehman Bros, Bear Stearns and co

That's why anyone with sense or even completed one MBA module will look at the impact of the judgement on the company in the order of:

(A.) Cash position (whether they can pay immediately)

(B.) Net Current Asset position (whether they can settle within a year without borrowing )

and finally

(C.) Equity position (whether they are solvent)

Its obvious you don't know the components of a balance sheet and are talking above your station

Slyfoxx001:
I like how you’re not even arguing with the fact that the networks you worship had to settle with a teenager because of their garbage journalism and slanderous lies against him. Now you’re only arguing about the amount 😂😂 see why no one believes you liberals when you talk about “principles”?

Facts is numbers, you don't have numbers for Sandmanns settlement, and even the highest number you can think of ($100m) is only 0.2% of Warners equity ($48bln). Dominion just wiped off 7% of Fox's equity. Apples and Oranges

Slyfoxx001:
You see how a simple google search has exposed your illiteracy? You said Warner Bros is worth 5 times as much as Fox Corp? Pls go back to school bro. You obviously don’t even have basic mathematical skills.

Now we definitely know you got your MBA under Bridge.

I said Warner equity is 5 times that of Fox

Warner equity of $48b Vs Fox of $11bln below

Learn the difference between marketcap and equity

Equity is Assets minus liabilities. That is what the corporation has at its disposal to pay off settlements. Dominion just wiped off 7% of Fox's balance sheet

Slyfoxx001:
How will he get 100m form CNN when he got $250m form Wpo? You see you are daft. CNN was the main defendant in that case not WaPo. He got nothing less than $700m from them.

Who told you Sandman got $250m from WaPo. $250m was his claim, and it was settled out of court, for definitely a much lesser fee that won't smell $100m. $250m can drive Washington Post into bankruptcy. The whole company is worth around that amount, talkless of having that amount in cash.

Slyfoxx001:
I brought up Murdochs net worth to tell you that a single individual associated with the company could have conveniently paid that settlement without hassle tankless of the whole corporation itself. You see now say na you no go school. Celebrating peanuts settlement 😂😂

Settlements are common in the corporate world bro. Most big corporations will gladly pay a few millions to end a nagging court case and spare the PR damage it could cause. It’s not an admission of guilt or an indication that they couldn’t have won the case if it went to trial. It simply means they just didn’t want to deal with the stress. If you did MBA yourself maybe you would know this.

Why would Murdoch pay fine for a publicly listed company? Your MBA obviously never taught you to distinguish between publicly owned corporations and individuals. Thinking like a Ariaria trader

And if you know anything about wealth, you will know Murdoch does not have anything close to $800m sitting in cash.

Slyfoxx001:
Of course the cowards begged for it not to be officially disclosed. But he hinted on a podcast that it was in the range of “a few hundred millions”

Mama Ijebu talks

You don't know the amount and even if it's $100m, comparatively speaking CNNs parent company has 5 times as much equity as Fox's.

Fox just gave away 7% of their equity and 15% of their cash on hand

If Sandmann even got $100m, that's 0.2% of Warner Bros equity

Though not publicly listed, Newsmax revenue is about $100m yearly. Let's assume a 30% profit margin for them, putting their profit at $30m, and not much more in retained earnings

Any judgement even 1/5th of the Fox size will put them out of business. Same goes for OANN

Slyfoxx001:
Fox paid them some chicken change to get the bags off their back 😂😂 a settlement means Fox is still technically not guilty of anything 😂😂

Btw what about your beloved CNN that made a teenager a multimillionaire? 😂😂

How much did CNN settle Sandmann? We are not here for Mama Ijebu talks

Slyfoxx001:
Lmao. Chicken change for Murdoch.

What's Murdoch networth (liquid and illiquid) got to do with a publicly listed company. I think say you do MBA

Fox Cash on hand is $5.2bln. These guys just took 15% of their cash and write off the equivalent of 75% of their annual profits. In any setting, no company will want to take such a write down relative to their Net Asset position

Dominion profit last year was $45m. These people done hammer

Cost of spreading basilicos lies.

Waiting for Newsmax and OANN own

Pep done flog all dribbling comot for Sterling leg. This guy used to dribble at Liverpool

Nice one Mudryk
