@TMTLongShort They're not holding back. That's just lazy.

If you want to define their on-going work as "holding back"... Well, so are the Chinese then, so it's all a wash in the end.

@haugejostein You give him too much credit. I would not describe NewLeftEViews as a serious thinker.

Just a Noah Smith Lite.

I personally thought that the Hittite collapse was probably the result of bad harvests. This results in widespread starvation and collapse of cities. Displaced populations then turn to banditry and raiding. That devastation spills over into neighboring areas which creates even more devastation and more people to raiding...

I doubt the Greeks suffered all that much from collapse of maritime trade. Most farming was subsistence farming and coastal Greek cities can also fish for food.

Rather, the heavy destruction and depopulation of Greece was the result of their location. Coastal Greek cities are vulnerable to raiding and piracy.

If bad harvests affected the Hittites, it is reasonable to assume that this was a regional climate event that similarly affected the Greeks as well. Which also leads to starvation and depopulation.

Just seems like the most rational explanation to me.

Well my point is that you don't know if this economic adjustment will be successful or not.

Also, there's different kind of "damage". Sometimes the damage is unemployment and loss of productive capacity. Other times it's the loss of market power by incumbents. But nevermind that.

My main point is that we do not know whether the current policy will be successful in the long-term, and it could be potentially more destructive than desirable.

@teortaxesTex Do you think Denise knows about any other component that goes into a DUV machine?

[Filipp Khan @Han_theKhan]

@gonglei89 It’s possible that supply chain disruptions also disrupt the restocking process. There’s a lot of Chinese inputs after all.

@snekotron They wouldn’t bankrupt themselves and they did commit to a massive buildout to expand DRAM capacity.

I doubt there’s enough tools out there to facilitate an even larger buildout anyway.

@stray_helium Why do you waste brain cells on tards' like him?

[Filipp Khan @Han_theKhan]

It's one of the most relevant critiques that can be made against current arguments of protectionism. Indeed, it is an argument that protectionist advocates must contend with.

But no, I suppose a vehicle's prices is wholly irrelevant to the average Western consumer. So let's ignore this line of reasoning altogether.

@PAstynome There's a world of difference between how Russians view Peter the Great and Ivan Grozny. Just saying.

@T_90_M_2024 @snekotron Fair enough.

I have to admit, I didn't watch film myself yet.

[Filipp Khan @Han_theKhan]

Not that I'm an expert on Shakespeare, but Julius Caesar was very much doing political commentary. And obviously, it was very much adapted for English taste.

But I'm not trying to say you're not allowed to dislike the film or whatever. I just find this particular line of criticism (and other similar ones) to be rather vapid. I mean Jesus, it's like attacking Bridget Jones for not being faithful to Pride and Prejudice the novel.

It just seems to me, that many people made up their mind about the movie before they watched it. They watched it, but because they decided they weren't going to like it, are now finding reasons for why they hate the film.

Now again, perfectly fine, but you can probably see why I find such criticism to be a bit inauthentic, no?

[Filipp Khan @Han_theKhan]

@T_90_M_2024 @snekotron You do realize that Nolan is an Anglo-American and most art is created to say something about the society that produced it?

Shakespeare's Julius Caesar wasn't exactly faithful to its source material either.

@teortaxesTex Need and want are different things.

@T_90_M_2024 @Lasurak There is no point in building more reapers. Its not the COIN era anymore.

[Filipp Khan @Han_theKhan]

@DesmondShum @ZhangTaisu We’re not on a gold standard anymore. Accusations of mercantilism is just whining from lazy Westerners who are scared of competition.

[Filipp Khan @Han_theKhan]

@CosmosEnjoyer25 I wasn’t trying to be analogous. I was simply trying to humor you.

[Filipp Khan @Han_theKhan]

@teortaxesTex There is nothing special about this.
