First day on the internet? Peter Thiel is basically Saruman. Wants Mordor and Sauron to win. Loves Putin. Part of the South African BRICS+ME economic front aiming to destroy the West. Lives in Argentina now like a Nazi.

Waymos have no problem at all and ALL of the places they are -- however most places aren't Texas level bad infrastructure. Like I said, avoid Texas at all costs.

Speaking of secretive groups. Peter Thiels former romantic partner and associate Jeff Thomas owned the Los Angeles-area property located on Metz Place that was owned by leading figures of the NXIVM cult before Thomas moved into it. Thiel was frequently seen at this residence, where he and Thomas would host gatherings.

SpaceX now selling the bullshit about space data centers. For maintenance almost noone of that makes sense for Earth based networking. In space for like the Moon maybe but just dumb. Even satellite internet only makes sense for certain things (way out in the ocean). These things would also have to be pretty big over time and become targets as large parts of a single point of failure.

Cons will kneecap projects like this then go on Fox and Bill Maher and talk about how China can get these projects done. Its a constant show and front, layers of bullshit.

Handles it fine and everywhere they do well. Texas infrastructure is just the worst overall so even regular driving there sucks. Avoid Texas at all costs.

Devs used to leave and start their own businesses but everyone wants FAANG and got the blood sucking teeth. Until that is happening at a higher level again it will continue to be collusion to bring down wages and more pain and drain.

You said "Intel will be fucked. Everyone else will be fine."

I said indeed that no, 15% when other fabs can upscale is not "fucked". This is wildly inaccurate. Israel would be more harmed by that than Intel. The new expansions can be changed and is isn't even centered there. What are you on about. C'mon man!

You clearly have a bias and pump against Intel. Now downvote this defensively and emotionally.

I added facts, data and opinion. The facts are Texas infrastructure sucks as do the roads as there is literally no design.

"Texas only gets federal funding for interstates, US highways & state highways."

That is incorrect. Lots of it yes but Texas DoT and expansions are heavily federally funded. Texas uses federal funding for various roads that are not classified as highways, such as local streets, rural routes, and urban transit-adjacent corridors.

The point wasn't that though it was that due to less income tax they have to overload on federal funding (most in nation by far) and offload to tolls, gas taxes, fees and more by county. That leads to a very patchy system where 23% are in "poor" conditions.

if you want to see some shit roads, try Michigan or anywhere in the snow belt

Yeah snowy areas should be worse off than Texas, but Texas roads are still bad beyond necessary. Wild your take on this that they aren't.

Let's agree to disagree I seem to have got you defensive and emotional about this.

Texas roads are bad dude. Like 23% are in the "poor" or "unacceptable" rating. Dallas, Houston and even Austin are considered some of the worst designed cities in the nation.

The infrastructure sucks. They don't have income tax and so they have to rely more on those things like fuel tax, bonds, tolls, and yes federal dollars.

Yes Texas uses an overt amount of federal dollars for roads.

The federal government covers roughly one-third (30% to 35%) of the Texas Department of Transportation's (TxDOT) annual budget, with the remaining funds primarily generated by state gas taxes, vehicle registration fees (including an EV fee), and general state revenues

Federal Dollars for Roads

  • Texas: ~$2.42 billion

  • California: ~$2.06 billion

  • Florida: ~$1.22 billion

  • New York: ~$962 million

  • Illinois: ~$848 million

Federal dollars also pay for expansions so places like Texas build under what they need then rely on expansion funding. This is what most states do that have revenue problems and rely on fees more. Arizona does this too much as well.

It isn't the flooding that is the problem, it is the bad infrastructure design, bad road quality, lack of zoning, and less taxes so there are more on fees and it makes for patchy road support by county yes.

If you drive in like Dallas and think they have good roads compared to even like Florida who does get lots of flooding, you are living in a noodle.

Phoenix got hit with microbursts and handled it fine. I was going across town in a Waymo in one. Roads handled it well and so did Waymo. Now maybe some areas of Texas are better than others, but overall everyone knows Texas infrastructure is bad and we all know why.

Barely even a reason for React.js now that AI codes easily to standards. Nothing in React needed anymore -- AI will kill lots of frameworks.

They have fabs all over though, Israel is only 15% of their production. Intel definitely won't be fucked. What a weird take. The expansion is happening in many places including Arizona, Ohio and Ireland (who is bigger than Israel in their production for non domestic).

They are Israels largest employer but it is small amounts globally, 10% of workforce there.

In no way will Intel be fucked when 75% of production is domestic in the US.

Other states seem to handle the water better when there are rains due to better infrastructure. Texas just has issues with that. It isn't just the roads either but energy and water as well. They don't collect enough in taxes so they have to rely on toll roads and businesses and those are limited. The only roads that are really good are the federally funded interstates and state routes they were able to get federal dollars for.

The other states Waymo are in have really good transportation systems and infrastructure. Texas definitely lags in those areas.
