Taiwan as the new Arrakis. And the most poetic description I've ever read of semiconductor manufacturing, which is absolutely the closest thing to magic in this world. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...

In the high-stakes tech fight, Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC had been playing Finland: a sometime friend to both feuding giants. But that is not the way the tech world works anymore. “China has virtually no room for maneuver.” @zhonggg from a yam-shaped island. https://www.nytimes.com…
