Most of the modern internet is indistinguishable from what we used to call malware (hexbear.net)

Every site is trying to pull a Bonzai Buddy now.

"We need all your info for advertising, not you can't opt out unless you make an account and give us your email. Oops, looks like I hid the opt-out under a subheader. Amazon is now profiling you."

WE USED TO CALL THAT SHIT A VIRUS.

ITS EVERY. FUCKING. WEBSITE. NOW

"Hi I'm going to block this entire site until you give me your info, this is very cool and normal."

Capitalism ruined the internet. The whole thing is malware now.

But there's an interesting question: will the US ever actually achieve chip parity, or will the industry just build some potempkin factory that's always 5 years away from completion so they can keep milking the subsidies indefinitely?

"The factory totally would have worked, but we built it in Arizona and then Lake Mead dried up and semiconductor manufacturing needs lots of water. " Who could have predicted that? (Ignore those environmentalist nut jobs screaming about climate change and your eyes that could see the bathtub ring around the lake where the water level used to be long before the semiconductor plant was started.)
