asciilifeform: but yes.

asciilifeform doubts there are any discrete fets to be found in a modern tv

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: most of the time folks asking after 'electronics' 'just want to know' how to arrange the mosfets

asciilifeform blows dust off blackstone

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: perhaps surprisingly, i must take issue with the reductionist approach here. electrodynamics is to 'electronics' as fluid dynamics is to modern plumbing

asciilifeform: mega-recommended.

asciilifeform: zfx: i must agree with mircea_popescu. thus far we have only the foggiest notion of what it is you'd like to accomplish

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: win

asciilifeform: zfx: but you will need basic school maths. if your education is seriously deficient, you may need forrest mims

asciilifeform: zfx: horowitz & hill

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu posits usa city blacks as examples of 'functional' ?!!

asciilifeform: speaking of locusts,

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu sees rotherhaming as an essential public service. i don't grasp this. seems approximately as useful as locusts.

asciilifeform: he doesn't rotherham ?

asciilifeform: which is not entirely the same as rotherhaming

asciilifeform: those, yes, afaik, sit around being sad.

asciilifeform: ah, them

asciilifeform: turks, that is

asciilifeform actually saw'em sweeping toilets in frankfurt and munich

asciilifeform: they worked.

asciilifeform: (of the x86 variety anyway)

asciilifeform: no cpu in cn.

asciilifeform: and, iirc, the only modern cpu plant (amd's) outside of usa proper is in de (augsburg?)

asciilifeform: nope. in de.

asciilifeform: siemens et al make silicon.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: which parts ?

asciilifeform dimly aware of this

asciilifeform: (unlike usa)

asciilifeform: de still has actual industry

asciilifeform: afaik none of the migrant folks intend to work

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ah, this!

asciilifeform: if the fish can, they must!

asciilifeform takes off hat

asciilifeform: jurov would still agree to move to de ?

asciilifeform: but does jurov like crossing countries off the map? at the end of the day, one has to live somewhere.

asciilifeform: i'll be the last to cry for the english, or for the germans, as they go into the woodchipper

asciilifeform: afaik they mainly 'did'... each other

asciilifeform: which it

asciilifeform: !s rotherham

asciilifeform: the particulars of the death of europe aside, the 'not so many people' thing boggles my mind. it is not unlike saying 'bullet is so small, how can an elephant die of it?!!'

asciilifeform: even one can suffice.

asciilifeform: see 'wasp' - how many maniacs does a city need running loose to stop all meaningful commerce..?
