Don't those cryogens only boil off in significant quantities of the machine can't get power?
Like, isn't that the whole reason MRI machines are never turned off?

The US gets to dictate what Canada does, though. We've had to put up with American bullshit for decades.
2008-2016.
Guess who was in power in 2005? That's right, the DPP.
Indigenous people having rights is a rather modern concept in terms of human history.
I guess they all forgot to condemn Hamas or something. That, of course, entirely justified murdering them all.
I suppose CNN can't be trusted either? Or the NYT? They're reporting on this too.
Different people complaining, I think.
Great, just many schools. This, anyway, still only applies to unauthorized guns. Authorized personnel are still allowed guns.
The US is constrained by capitalism and globalization... And years of mismanagement at Intel under Krzanich... and the lack of profitability of Global Foundries.
Intel only recently adopted a foundry model: previously, their fabs were only used to manufacture Intel chips... I'm sure you can imagine some of the issues there, but it helps that Intel is a massive company. Intel really bit off more than they could chew with 10nm and started to lag behind.
GloFo used to be AMD (until it was spun off for profit because AMD needed money... GloFo gave up on 7nm because it was seen as too expensive.
As for Samsung? Nobody really knows why Samsung's technology sucks, but it sucks. Something wrong with their FinFET process in general I guess.
TSMC isn't a decade ahead. They're maybe 5 years ahead of SMIC and maybe 2 years ahead of Intel/Samsung. They're only so far ahead of SMIC because SMIC isn't allowed to import EUV machines from ASML since the US decided that China was getting too close to toppling American dominance in semiconductors and AI.
The main thing limiting SMIC is the lack of EUV machines, but Huawei is expected to pop one out soon based on the rumours being spread on Chinese forums. That's the story. TSMC doesn't have some magic sauce, they have scale, billions of dollars in government support, and a slight technological edge. If anything, TSMC's magic sauce is that the most desirable job in STEM in Taiwan is to become an engineer at TSMC: they attract top talent in a way that Intel doesn't.
Is the Taiwan Strait international waters or not?
If it is, this isn't news. If it isn't, then this is provocative. It can't simultaneously be international waters when one country sails warships through and sovereign airspace when another country flies aircraft through.
