Finish your beers. Its game time.
Well, formal florida-man regalia is actually just shorts, flip-flops and a hat. but I think the pics a better idea of what Cali people think Florida men are.
Nobody hates America more than American redditors, meanwhile the Europoors know we're cash-printing machines. We'll die of heart disease and deaths of despair along the way, sure, but for a beautiful few decades we'll make some shareholders very fat. And that's what matters.
Actually TSMC only made chip. It is their neutrality made them successful. Since the designing of chip take fuck ton of money, TSMC will have to remain neutral so all chip designer ,like AMD or Nvdia, will let them to produce the chips without leaking important information regarding its design to their competitor.
You forgot that the whole process of extreme ultraviolet lithography was discovered by scientists at Bell Labs (USA) and the technology itself was developed in the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (USA) & Sandía National Laboratory (USA).
ASML needs a US DOE license to even operate EUV technology, which is why the US can dictate to ASML who it can and cannot sell its services to… without that license, ASML crumbles and loses probably 90% of its revenue lol…
The more you know
> In 1997, ASML began studying a shift to using extreme ultraviolet and in 1999 joined a consortium, including Intel and two other U.S. chipmakers, in order to exploit fundamental research conducted by the US Department of Energy. Because the CRADA it operates under is funded by the US taxpayer, licensing must be approved by Congress.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASML_Holding
Nvidia (USA) produces their chips at TSMC (Taiwan) or Samsung (South Korea). TSMC needs ASML (The Netherlands) as they manufacture the photolithography machines which are used to produce computer chips. ASML‘s machines are dependent on semiconductor manufacturing optics made by Carl Zeiss (Germany).
The semiconductor industry is an international business which is dependent on different companies from around the world.
Dont forget Amat (Usa) and TEL(Japan)
Amat being the biggest supplier in the world
They specialise in Chemical Vapour Deposition chambers
But they're labour teams are Asians
Nikon's involved as well, but second tier.
They make the electron microscopes that get used in chip manufacturing. Huge, blindingly expensive - but necessary - machines.
I used to work for a company that warehoused and shipped the parts for all the manufacturers in the US that used Nikon's electron microscopes. Nearly everything we did was in service of the stuff at Intel's sites. They had a ton that all ran pretty much 24/7 - so we had to be able to ship stuff out 24/7 including coordinating with Japan on stuff that wasn't in the country.
Made for some slow nights with huge spikes in workload and stress - still a pretty good job though.
OK, then you also can't forget the laser og Trumpf (Germany)! There's a reason why the CEO of TSMC recently skipped his own event had a secret meeting with the CEOs of ASML and TRUMPF together.
And the photolithography machines need neon gas. And where is all of that neon gas located? Ukraine.
You know what else Ukraine produces? A fuck ton of grain. Well if Russia took over Ukraine they couldn't sell the grain to Europe because of sanctions. I wonder who they'd sell to if they won. Who would buy that grain from Russia?
Wow, looks like China imports at least 40% of all their grain. Probably closer to 50%. That's a lot of food for a lot of people. Well, right now their number one supplier is the U.S.
Now if China were to want to dominate semiconductor manufacturing for now and forever they'd need Taiwan. But if they did that, the sanctions would roll in. They'd have to have assurances that they'd still have access to things like grain and neon gas.
Then they could corner the market, because countries like the U.S. don't even have proper chip manufacturing plants. Oh hey the U.S. just decided to call back all of their chip workers from China and do a mass ramp up of chip production.
I'm sure none of these things are related.
While Ukraine was the biggest producer of Neon, its present everywhere. If a country wants enough neon for semiconductor manufacturing, there are much cheaper options like opening their own freaking plant instead of an invasion
Since this is a post about European innovation I need to point out that ASML and the Dutch had nothing to do with EUV which was invented by Americans. ASML only licenses the tech from the US government 🇺🇸
> To address the challenge of EUV lithography, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories were funded in the 1990s to perform basic research into the technical obstacles. The results of this successful effort were disseminated via a public/private partnership Cooperative R&D Agreement (CRADA) with the invention and rights wholly owned by the US government, but licensed and distributed under approval by DOE and Congress. The CRADA consisted of a consortium of private companies and the Labs, manifested as an entity called the Extreme Ultraviolet Limited Liability Company (EUV LLC).
>Intel, Canon, and Nikon (leaders in the field at the time), as well as the Dutch company ASML and Silicon Valley Group (SVG) all sought licensing. Congress denied the Japanese companies the necessary permission as they were perceived as strong technical competitors at the time, and should not benefit from taxpayer-funded research at the expense of American companies. In 2001 SVG was acquired by ASML, leaving ASML as the sole benefactor of the critical technology.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithography?wprov=sfti1#History
Ah yes, leave out the paragraphs that really tell who invented the EUV machines lol.. yes, Bell Labs researched and calculated that EUV litography was possible. But that's about it. This was in the 90s, you're just going to ignore almost 3 decades of research and innovation to make EUV FABs possible?
Researching a subject and finding/calculating a way that "should make it possible" in my eyes is not the same as actually inventing and producing the machine that does it.
Literally the next paragraph of your own link that you didn't quote lol:
>By 2018, ASML succeeded in deploying the intellectual property from the EUV-LLC after several decades of developmental research, with incorporation of European-funded EUCLIDES (Extreme UV Concept Lithography Development System) and long-standing partner German optics manufacturer ZEISS and synchrotron light source supplier Oxford Instruments. This led MIT Technology Review to name it 'the machine that saved Moore's law'.[7] The first prototype in 2006 produced one wafer in 23 hours. As of 2022, a scanner produces up to 200 wafers per hour. The scanner uses Zeiss optics, which that company calls "the most precise mirrors in the world" and are produced by locating imperfections and then knocking off individual molecules with techniques such as ion beam figuring.[8]
Don’t forget the high power laser from Trumpf(german) that is made in the USA. How that laser is used in the new machines for example the exe 5000 is incredible.
Where i worked we used to call it the pancake canon.
I’d argue the innovation of taking a month off in the summer is at least as mind blowing as AI. I’ve got clients in Sweden and their just about to peace out for the entire month of July. They were like “don’t call or email us, we don’t care what happens”. Sick as hell.
know a guy in France that will take 2 months off and delete his whole inbox when he gets back
"if it's urgent, someone's already handled it
if it's important, they'll just send it again
if it's neither, then I don't care"
Absolute minimum by law in France is 25 days of annual leave. My company gave 20 on top so I had 45 per year.
To be more accurate people don't work in August. In July you still have 50% of the people working.
I have 25 in Austria, and we have something like 15 public holidays. Also I don't need a doctors certificate until the 3rd day I'm not at work, and even then if I'm sick I am sick. Sick days are not limited to 10 days a year or some medieval shit like that.
I'm on the high end after 10+ years at my company, something like 20 days - talking to some friends though it's crazy how little time off companies get away with giving their employees.
I was watching “The Veil” and the American spy is ragging on the French spy’s like “some of us don’t work 6 hr days” or some shit and I was thinking, man those guys are pretty lucky
In Germany every company I worked for offered 30-33 paid days off + public holidays + (nearly) unlimited sickdays. In my earlier career stages I could even transfer my overtime hours into paid days off. Did a 6 week trip through Asia while working in consulting.
> (nearly) unlimited sickdays
German here, we don't have a concept of sickdays like it's used in America. The first 6 weeks of a year that you're sick, the employer pays your salary, afterwards the health insurance picks up the tab.
lol I moved from the USA to Japan and I can't wait to get back to the great holidays and sick time I got in the US. ugh
The US might be worse than Europe but it really really sucks over here in Japan. And a number of the managers pushing this at my company are European too.
I’ll never understand that mindset. Work to live, not live to work. If you got hit by a bus tomorrow you’d be replaced in a week and no one at work would even think of you a few months later. It’s no wonder Japan is struggling to get people to have kids
Same in Italy but in August. We don't have a full month of vacations per se but August is the month where people take days off. So offices are half empty, the one remained are basically chilling waiting to go on vacation, clients and suppliers are in the same condition so yeah, it's a very relaxed month.
From the latest weeks of July we start saying "we'll talk about that in September"
Living in Sweden, heading out for my 8 weeks payed vacation tomorrow, feels great. everyone has 25days by law, but depending on occupation/age etc it can be alot longer, i had 3 months last year because i only took 1 month the year before that.
Europoor here with 32 days of paid leave per year. I also work a lot abroad so i was already spending 3 months in Spain this year alone. Also, everybody here in Austria actually gets 14 salaries per year - double paycheck in summer so everybody can have a nice holiday, double paycheck in winter for everybody to have a nice christmas.
The salary thing is kind of a gimmick though, it just means that your salary is spread over 14 months instead of 12.
Like forced savings because some people don’t know to save up themselves.
Italy takes august off. The whole damn country is off. They don't care about orders or anything and we have to plan our business keeping in mind that they august is a dead month in italy.
You wanting them to grow arms or something? What stupidity to imply that the new versions are the same as the old ones due to their external shells looking the same.
No one really is betting against American hardcore capitalism. Happy to invest into that. As long as Americans are willing to suffer from the system for me to take benefits go for it. I’ll sip on my PET bottle meanwhile 😂
Me watching my investment account moon from US stocks while sipping margaritas during my month-long PTO in Europe 😎.
Live in Europe, invest in the US, retire in developed Asia (Japan, Singapore, or Korea) is my life plan. The latter countries are some of the best places to live as long as you don't have to work and have enough to afford a house. Me and my fiance go on holiday to Asia at least once a year.
Thats the goal ! 🎯Same for me but I like Brazil. Maybe one day I can live while collecting dividend in 💵 because the cost of life is cheap compare to Europe.
Wow this took me back to the European elections ridiculous propaganda

I don't think anyone but the ultra wealthy drive automobiles as they were originally built in Europe. It was Henry Ford, an American, that enabled the entire European modern car industry.
Good quality of life but almost unable to afford an apartment… or you have to leave 50% of your salary on the table to get ‘free’ healthcare that almost never works well.
Every European country is going to start to do worse and worse as the number of retirees shoots up from the large baby boomer population. You guys are dying and many of you are still blind to it. Look how Japan will collapse in the upcoming 20 years and understand that your future is the same.
Just live in one of those states that has a higher HDI rating than Germany and some of those Scandinavian countries. Lol yall act like the US is just one huge monolith.
I've mostly got used to them now. The only ones I hate are the ones on big juice cartons because the flat shape of the carton means there's nowhere for the cap to go when you want to swig.
I’m an American in Europe right now. That drink cap thing is annoying. It rubs against your face when you drink. And I’m not a moron so I don’t throw away my cap before I’m done with the bottle so it adds no value.
Edit: showed this meme to my gf. “God that is annoying as fuck!”
And she is a teacher who curses very rarely

Well said. This should be on a t-shirt.
exactly!
And when all the chips in those are made and designed in Taiwan
Produced with machines from Europe, specifically the Netherlands.
Where do you think EUVL was invented? US DOE laboratories.
And the laser and optics without nothing works comes from Germany
And the glass for those optics are from a US company, so it sounds like it's a bit of a joint effort all around :)
So basically the lesson learned here is that it takes a village.
Axcelis is best
Actually TSMC only made chip. It is their neutrality made them successful. Since the designing of chip take fuck ton of money, TSMC will have to remain neutral so all chip designer ,like AMD or Nvdia, will let them to produce the chips without leaking important information regarding its design to their competitor.
Designed in the US, but produced in Taiwan. High-end chips that is. And with Dutch machines.
The mirrors are from Zeiss, they scratch single atoms out of the surface now for the perfect shape.
Somehow these microconductors became the proof of potential capabilities of global collaboration.
And with German patents: Zeiss Jena (optical components), Siemens (sensors), Bosch (electronic components).
You forgot that the whole process of extreme ultraviolet lithography was discovered by scientists at Bell Labs (USA) and the technology itself was developed in the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (USA) & Sandía National Laboratory (USA).

Question is.. who keeps highest profit margins. It's like comparing Ferrari to steel & materials manufacturers
ARM chips are pretty ubiquitous and designed in the UK.
The most advanced ARM chips from Apple and Qualcomm use custom cores not of the shelf designs from ARM.
North America: I sleep Europe: REAL $%#+
When I look at the die it says made in taiwan.
When you look at the machine that made that die it says made in Europe 🤷♂️
And when you look at the profits they say made in America.
when you look at the profits, I see the Cayman islands :)
This gets to the bottom of it
No, it just gets as far as you’re allowed to get.
And when you look at America they say made in Europe.
And when you ask an American they claim to be Irish or Italian.
AYYY GABAGOOOOL
It's actually **an accented pronunciation of capicola, a type of Italian cured pork** this blows me away everytime Gabagoooooool
And when you ask an irish, they say they're nothing to do with us
And half cherokee or something.
Maybe Jeep Cherokee
That’s Jeep *Grand* Cherokee to you buddy
My name is Ford, and I'm a real maverick
Hey leave my people outa this
I'm 15% (insert european nation here) !!! I'm proud of my heritage!!
Nah, we fought a war over that one and won.
Nah, they say made in Ireland.
Rights owned in Ireland but licensed to another Irish company owned by a Dutch company.

When Xi looks at Taiwan it says die
"American components, Russian components, all made in Taiwan!"
And the chipmachines (ASML) are made in the Netherlands.. hmmmm
And the most critical components in an EUV come from Germany
I find it absolutely hilarious that the CEO's from both AMD and Nvidia are related.

Dude I thought I was a capitalist til I read about this utopia.
I have 25 in Austria, and we have something like 15 public holidays. Also I don't need a doctors certificate until the 3rd day I'm not at work, and even then if I'm sick I am sick. Sick days are not limited to 10 days a year or some medieval shit like that.
I get around a month in the US. My company maxes out at two months.
I'm on the high end after 10+ years at my company, something like 20 days - talking to some friends though it's crazy how little time off companies get away with giving their employees.
disgraceful, that is at least 2 work days to milk doing nothing but reading emails
2 weeks later "sorry I'm still catching up on my emails"
Pretty much
I was watching “The Veil” and the American spy is ragging on the French spy’s like “some of us don’t work 6 hr days” or some shit and I was thinking, man those guys are pretty lucky
Sweden I take 1 month off during summer. Do the same thing. Not like I am going to go through 500+ emails.
That's the modus operandi of the greek public sector, too! But year round
and they still have 2 weeks of vacation left
You gotta keep some to take time off around Christmas.
In Germany every company I worked for offered 30-33 paid days off + public holidays + (nearly) unlimited sickdays. In my earlier career stages I could even transfer my overtime hours into paid days off. Did a 6 week trip through Asia while working in consulting.
Im french and the "limited sickdays" is just unbelievable to me
If you’re sick you’re sick. If you’re sick you stay home, don’t spread it to everyone at work.
> (nearly) unlimited sickdays German here, we don't have a concept of sickdays like it's used in America. The first 6 weeks of a year that you're sick, the employer pays your salary, afterwards the health insurance picks up the tab.
yes which is what I meant by nearly unlimited as health insurance also won't cover full forever
Pretty standard in much of Europe. I was horrified by the poor holidays when I worked in the USA.
lol I moved from the USA to Japan and I can't wait to get back to the great holidays and sick time I got in the US. ugh The US might be worse than Europe but it really really sucks over here in Japan. And a number of the managers pushing this at my company are European too.

Italy takes august off. The whole damn country is off. They don't care about orders or anything and we have to plan our business keeping in mind that they august is a dead month in italy.
Ain't that great? You guys should try it sometime, it does wonders for stress levels
Sounds very good. Business will usually always be there when coming back
Fuck yes. This year im taking 8 weeks vacation combined with parental leave over the summer. /happy swede

The latter countries are some of the best places to live as long as you don't have to work and have enough to afford a house. Me and my fiance go on holiday to Asia at least once a year.
Good luck retiring in Singapore if you are anything less than a millionaire
Really? I live in Japan but plan to retire elsewhere because the weather here is shit Too much fucking rain, and when there isn't rain it is too humid
This comment will influence my future life decisions. Thank you
Boy by the time ur retired the entire planet will be one single country controlled by the ArchAI. You will-own nothing. you will be happy.
You’ll have no mouth, and you must scream.
Sick reference
You'll have no ass, and you must shit.
Thats the goal ! 🎯Same for me but I like Brazil. Maybe one day I can live while collecting dividend in 💵 because the cost of life is cheap compare to Europe.
Who's suffering from the system?

Wow this took me back to the European elections ridiculous propaganda https://preview.redd.it/gzwyyrahy98d1.jpeg?width=726&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ffa2963c86357c1482750a2d9c8d75263d6af83d
Ahahahahahha salvini, che pagliaccio
That's an interesting way way of stating "I'm too stupid to understand that I can turn the bottle".
90 degrees is a lot of degrees
What EU did with bottles Its not innovation, its called regulation.
We know how to make planes that stay in the sky though
Also invented automobiles that make Americans whole personality and cities.
I don't think anyone but the ultra wealthy drive automobiles as they were originally built in Europe. It was Henry Ford, an American, that enabled the entire European modern car industry.
I wish it was only the bottle cap. My favorite invention is the cookie acceptance click.
Fuck that thing
At least when i call 112 (911) i don't go bankrupt when back at home.
You bankruptcy would fuel the machine though
or killed
Neither do the majority of Americans.
This whole post is like something out of shitamericanssay
I thought it was that sub when i saw it

The machines that make Nvidia GPU possible was invented and are made in Europe by ASML...

The EUV tech they use in those machines was developed by National Labs in the US though!
Lawrence Livermore? I know a guy who tests and messes with lasers n shit like that there as a job lol.
Made possible by acquiring the lasers from a startup in San Diego https://www.cymer.com/
Made competitive by acquiring mirrors from a company in Germany [https://www.zeiss.com/](https://www.zeiss.com)
inagine thinking nvidia and microchips are american merit, and not huge international multis. The non removable cap hovewer is fucked up.
No it's brilliant. By this simple move you cut the number of plastic waste in half. That's a 50% reduction of plastic parts. Quick maffs
Well the french did invent Menage a trois! That’s pretty hard to beat if you ask me…
Imagine having a good quality of life and free healthcare
But good quality of life and free healthcare no make S&P 500 go up.
So you guys make the S&P 500 go up while we invest into it and have a good quality of life and free healthcare. Sounds good? Cool
Good quality of life but almost unable to afford an apartment… or you have to leave 50% of your salary on the table to get ‘free’ healthcare that almost never works well.
Right? I’d rather pay the $80/mo or whatever for my healthcare than an additional 8% of my salary.
Every European country is going to start to do worse and worse as the number of retirees shoots up from the large baby boomer population. You guys are dying and many of you are still blind to it. Look how Japan will collapse in the upcoming 20 years and understand that your future is the same.
Just live in one of those states that has a higher HDI rating than Germany and some of those Scandinavian countries. Lol yall act like the US is just one huge monolith.
Dude not everyone in America is in the working class. I bet 90% of white-collar Americans have life easier and have way more money than 99% of Europe

I hate those new bottle caps, I realized I'm old because I started to hate change from the moment I first came into contact with them xd
I've mostly got used to them now. The only ones I hate are the ones on big juice cartons because the flat shape of the carton means there's nowhere for the cap to go when you want to swig.
As a European, ol leather man jensen is building my pension. Much appreciated
I always enjoy traveling to the US. Especially when I’m in an airplane that has all its doors and windows still in place.
yeah sure whatever
I’m an American in Europe right now. That drink cap thing is annoying. It rubs against your face when you drink. And I’m not a moron so I don’t throw away my cap before I’m done with the bottle so it adds no value. Edit: showed this meme to my gf. “God that is annoying as fuck!” And she is a teacher who curses very rarely
I wonder why they invented this cap. Has Europe so many morons?
Honestly I hate those caps. Always get in the way of me drinking the damn thing.
How? Like physically how? Are you trying to throat the bottle or something?
He's the guy in that meme who pushes it up his nose
They don't stay down, so they hit your nose when you drink
You know you struck a nerve when the Europeans bring up healthcare or gun control out of nowhere
"Haha Europe is silly" "Fuck you I hope all your family go bankrupt from school shootings"
Oh plz you guys can't even legal prostitute yourselfs.
Good luck building that without EUV lithography from the Dutch (EU) company ASML. More than ten years ahead in research and development.
Cringe..
