Re: Indian Economy News & Discussion - Nov 27 2017

I believe the 2nm and 5nm capability they are talking is for subsystems of a lithographic machine . AFAIK, ASML is the only company that has EUV light source. But ASML uses subsystems, say for etching, from other companies to build their complete machine. I guess the above products fall into those c...

Re: Geopolitics/Geoeconomics Thread - June 2015

Pretty much the entire west sees immigration as an instrument of growth. The USA is the foremost. USA's net immigration is 1 million per year. The only difference is everybody wants to go to the USA and not so much to these other countries, so USA doesn't have to do things other countries do.
