I agree. As with so many things in life: news can make you miserable, but if you take the right approach it doesn't have to make you miserable.

Gosh what a nuanced take that is. I enjoy reading the news and then discussing it with friends that are also news readers. That's the hobby aspect for me (and aforementioned friends). Together we try to predict what will happen in the

Give them your (or a temp) email address and you get the results immediately. By the way, the test really isn't all that interesting IMO. The results were extremely predictable, in my case at least.

Why do we even want cutting edge fabs in Europe? We have no companies that design cutting edge logic chips here. Literally none. Why invest 20 billion dollars (or what is the price of a cutting edge fab these days?) to create supply without
