Re: EU countries team up for semiconductor push
#2Arguably the most technically advanced EU country Sweden always avoids Franco-German initiatives and the leader in chip technology in Europe is the brexiting UK with the globally dominant ARM platform (soon to be acquired by NVIDIA from Softbank).

They have number dispensers at the meat or bread counters in supermarkets which is quite neat. You do not have to wait in a queue and can do your other grocery shoppings until the display shows your number. ;)

#6>Europe’s share of the 440-billion-euro ($533 billion) global semiconductor market is around 10%, with the EU currently relying on chips made abroad.
$533 billion for the entire semiconductor industry seems small.. That's like .25 Apples.

#7I find it quite off putting, that the general approach of EU institutions is to direct resources and economic activity from the top. It not only has demonstrated to be a failure economically, but it's an arrogant attitude by politicians, giving the message they know better than individuals, and that a free market leads to preventable bad outcomes. Also, it's tied to price controls and redistribution concepts. They will assign the money to each person they find moral. Which at the end means a mix of connections and sentiments.

They have a long history of failures and disappointments and still stick to this emotional garbage ideas, at this point it's not something I can fix since I am not a psychologist.
It's kind of amusing that HN has such slanted audience, given that startup funding is the biggest exponent of hypercapitalism.

#8This is a great decision! I never understood why Europe under-invested in semi considering the talents they have and the strategic nature of it.
Intel is dying a slow death, ARM is leaving UK's control, and TSMC is slowly taken over by China. The tables are turning.

One minute past the comment and it already fetched 2 downvotes. Apparently being concerned about dirigism is detrimental to the community.
Pretty sure they work for the government / do badly in the free market.

#10What will actually happen: some countries will spend a trivial amount of money in a PR stunt with not coordination between the countries and result in no advance for the EU countries participating.
