Silicon Valley person here. There is a relatively developed tech sector there, with a growing startup scene in Tel-Aviv. So not a horrible place to have an office (from purely talent reasons, setting ethics aside). But not necessarily fantastic either. There are bigger and more developed tech scenes in other countries. The Netherlands, Germany and Austria in particular have a lot of high tech semiconductor manufacturing companies which would be logical for a company like NVIDIA. As well as the added benefit of not currently waging a war against civilians.

The phrase “IRQ in use” is still enough to give me nightmares.

Israel never wanted a negotiated ceasefire because they’re the ones doing all the firing. Has Gaza shot back in the last 18 months?

So if you Google for “democracy” you go to jail?

That’s actually an interesting point. And you’re right, the effects of their HK policy will surely be to remove any doubt in Taiwanese minds that they need to defend their island with force.

I mean.. I disagree? I think it looks like a retro-futuristic Mini Cooper or something. To each their own.

I have a Renault 5, was one of the first owners of the new EV model! It’s a fantastic car, but interestingly, the whole interior material is.. denim! Seats, trim, everything. Even the inside of the roof! And it’s made out of recycled blue jeans. How cool is that?

Sounds like the Netanyahtzees are already drooling over the prospect of more lebensraum.

Looks very cozy.
