Damn, I thought just shouting zero trust harder and would keep hackers away.

You're being a bit harsh on parents.

You won't rely on existing capacity, you make the capacity. Megaprojects create their own supply lines. You invest 100s of millions in a company like RCM to give them the extra capital to build a new factory for you. Unlike on site builders who need to move to the city temporarily and charge for that privilege, the factory can keep running after the citybuilding winds down.

They just want to slowly economically and politically strangle them into submission.

So, instead of invading should the US cooperate in economic sanctions on Taiwan?

Cooperation ... so the US should invade Taiwan for them?

Liberals : don't be nationalist/racist
Buesiness: Don't disrupt my supply chain
Economists : free trade uber alles

You have to become an arch enemy of the entire mainstream to enter a cold war with China. This doesn't require strength, this requires madness. The administration is mad, unfortunately they have made trade balance their hill to die on.

Run from China.

Why would they need 3rd generation Chinese when the pool of first generation ex-pats is larger? Also mostly STEM college graduates instead of running Chinese restaurants.

A racist such as me might conjecture that a lot of the people in the decision chain had a Chinese background.

Five over one wood frame construction is inefficient. The future is as always prefab. It's just that when land costs 10x everything else, the future can wait.

Land should be relatively cheap here, so efficiency matters. The amount of construction is large enough to just put a prefab factory on site. They can do their own zoning too, so the number of stories is just a question of taste.

Most towns grew out of a couple big companies.

Somewhere along the line the economy of scale ran away with things and instead of new company towns and agrarian service hubs, we got ever growing cities. Then we put artificial growth boundaries around those cities, making it harder and harder for normal people to afford a nice detached home near their work (which is how almost everyone wants to live, as long as we still have to work).

Nothing wrong with a new company town compared to the dystopian status quo.

Hamming distance is the term you're looking for.
