Yikes. These seemingly random long term effects on young, healthy people need to be studied, but it’ll take time, so in the meantime, let’s be careful:

A lot of the countries that did best were actually much closer to 'ground zero' and had way more travel from China before travel got shut down than the countries that did less well, islands or not.

It's certainly not a good sign that Jim Keller left Intel after only a short time at the company... https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/12/21288938/jim-keller-leaves-intel-chip-designer-executive-silicon-amd-tesla-apple

I cant think of any other way a virus that started in China goes global...can you? Way to totally miss the context. The countries that are doing badly are doing badly because they didn't do the steps to control the virus, and those that do well do so because they did. There's variance and some places were less lucky or had worse demographics/density/etc than others, but generally, the virus was within the borders of all these islands and if they hadn't done the steps, they'd be doing just as bad as anyone else. In the early phases the virus spread by travel, but once it's everywhere and travel has been mostly shut down for months, what matters is the local response, not blocking new infections from outside. Or in other words, it's been many months now that the source of new infections is local, not international.

Can't wait. I've been hearing the exact same thing since the S came out in 2012, and I'm still waiting for all these compelling choices to come out...

The problem with falling further behind a fast-moving target (TSMC) when you're already behind is that it increases the odds that you'll *never* catch up. Or that by the time you do, the world has changed (more ARM, ASICs, GPUs, and AMD in datacenters). https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-announces-delay-to-7nm-processors-now-one-year-behind-expectations

NZ did very well. One overarching theme is that islands ( NZ, Australia ( technically a continent but still surrounded by water), Iceland, Japan , South Korea ( norther border is impenetrable) can do better because they have easier ways to control access. The exception are the turds from the UK of course. I don't think most of the countries that are having trouble are having trouble because infected people are coming over the borders...

Well, this inspires confidence in federal leadership during this historical crisis...

its all about the regulatory credits, baby the story here is why aren’t fossil fuel car companies doing what TSLA is doing. it’s a level playing field if they also enter the market no? The bears have been saying for almost a decade that the established automakers could just start making electric vehicles and put Tesla out of business at any time. So far there has been zero evidence that this is true or even plausible. How many electric typewriter companies started making microcomputers and survived the change? IBM did, but they were already in the mini-computer business. Everybody has been saying the same thing about Apple. Thousands of "iPhone Killer!" headlines over the year...

its all about the regulatory credits, baby Still a drop in the bucket vs all the direct and indirect subsidies to fossil fuels and autos historically. What are some examples of the big subsidies to the oil industry? I've heard this argument, but never any examples. One recent example that comes to mind is the current administration offering to bail out the fracking industry, but that 'bailout' doesn't seem to have happened. When you purchase gas at the pump part of the price is state and federal tax. Electric vehicles don't have a "charge" tax. I would just like to better understand this argument. There's been all kinds of favorable treatments of oil exploration and exploitation in tax codes, cheap land leases, lots of externalization of costs (including pollution and accidental spills) for extraction and refinement and transport, there's been huge indirect subsidies from military expenditure protecting oil assets and routes around the world, a huge push to favor private automobiles over other alternatives (cities riping out their tramways, etc, after lots of lobbying from automakers), etc. Without a lot of that, cleaner sources of energy and EVs would've been competitive on price long ago.
