Some of the employees in that factory are indeed working effectively 3 hours. But they're on the job for the full eight hours of their shift.

Why is that? Goodyear, the current owner of the fab, has lowered the amount of tires that they have to produce per day.

And why is that? Because they want to close that factory. They've been trying for 6 years now, but the union has shown the management's shenanigans time and time again.

When I saw that letter, the first word that came to mind was: bullshit. How can a guy like this be the CEO of a corporation?

Ever ate oysters? That would be it.

For the French TGV, the whole train is coupled from one side to the other. The bogies are actually in between cars, so you can't remove just one car like that.

The reason is high-speed stability. There was just one case of a TGV going off track at high-speed, and it only resulted in minor injuries because the whole train just slowed down due to this rigidity.

Well, the fact that they've been creating features smaller than the wavelength of the illuminating light is nothing to write home about either.

Current chips (since at least the 180nm node) are being fabbed this way at all microelectronics fabs all around the world. We already use 193nm light to create features as small as 22nm (using tricks like immersion, double-exposure and OPC)
