I thought i had read that TSMC was keeping 2nm and more advanced technology domestic. I guess that only applies up to 2030? Maybe because they will have a new more advanced method by then.

It is interesting that they work up to 2nm starting from 4nm and 5nm. Are those processes significantly easier or cheaper to start?

For those uninitiated like myself, what is special about Discworld?

Ah maybe my perspective is wrong. I didn’t know this is how the EU does it. Does this rule apply to plastic or fabric as well? Or maybe only plastic used for food? regulating recycled plastic that is used for food makes a ton of sense to me.

We found 191 pesticides, 107 pharmaceuticals and 81 industrial compounds among many others in the recycled plastic pellets.

This sentence seems so meaningless. Things being pesticides or pharmaceuticals doesn’t make them harmful and even if they are harmful, are they in concentrations that matter for humans?

Uses much better more meaningful language to describe the same problem! It is also much shorter and easier to read.
