    Water is one example, but it usually goes beyond that. I'm not sure if RAM is ever covered by those laws, but I'm also not willing to look through every state's laws and check.

    It's government action, not a civil lawsuit. Of course the kids aren't going to see a dime of that money. If they want cash, they (individually or as a class) have to sue Meta them…

    If China takes over Taiwan, TMSC's assets are being reduced to rubble before Taiwan's first shot back.

    I have no idea where it would be illegal not to connect to the grid. You can just not pay your electric bill.

    Yes. But it's not as simple as just having access to ASML's ip. They have exclusive rights to all the components and inputs, which are also protected and are also hard to make. It'…
