Hearted Youtube comments on Asianometry (@Asianometry) channel.

  1. I've only had good experiences w/ Asus notebooks. I've gone through like 3 in 15+ years and not once was it due to an actual problem. I suspect my Win 7 Asus notebook would still run properly if I try to turn it on. My only problems w/ Asus products is w/ their tablets. Tend to crash semi often, even though they run great due to having low amount of crap forcibly installed. I swapped to Samsung but got so annoyed w/ it getting slower on each update.

  2. I'm from Malaysia. You pronounced 'Bumiputera' correctly but 'UMNO' is pronounced here as 'arm-no' but without 'r' sound in the first syllable.

  3. I love watching your videos. One of the few YouTubers that makes in-depth, good quality content that obviously cares to do a deep dive and show relevant visuals in the video.

  4. Thanks for sharing!! Too proud to be a Hakka from Malaysia.

  5. Thanks for making these great videos on topics I didn't know I wanted to know about. Perhaps you can talk about the M2 chip that Apple will be using next?

  6. Like from Russia, love your channel. Too bad our world is heading towards a huge disaster, again. I've Always wanted to visit places like CERN or TSMC... sometimes life is a bitch.

  9. You are always so straight to the point and it is so calming to watch your videos…

  10. Why the Han though? Why not the Qin? Or the Zhou? Given how important Zhou was to the development of Chinese culture why is it identification with the Han?

  11. Thank you, you're the best. Macau always gets overlooked.

  14. These videos are damn informative, i love them... blessed was the day i found out about this channel and clicked on a video.

  15. This is kinda cool, at uni we use tsmc65 and the kind of NDAs we had to sign to do anything was quite intense. In short taking a screenshot of the software for your notes is already borderline. I just hope that the opensource layout and simulation tools can catch up to the overpriced closed-source industry standards (looking at you Cadence and Synopsys).

  16. You tell in a simple way so many interesting things about Taiwan, You deserve many more subscribers. Glad I've found Your channel :)

  17. My great grandma is Punti from Hong Kong. Her family were from Guangdong. After she was born in Hong Kong they immigrated to Hawai'i.

  18. Fucking hell, this channel is gonna blow up. Calling it at 7k subs. Hope you're making it a point to upload the content in every platform. I'd do Odysee, Bitchute, Vimeo, etc, Reddit tech boards, even as far as 4chan's tech board and making torrents of this stuff and putting it up on tpb. I expect this channel to do well.

  19. Wonderful video....can you please make a video about the hardware and software suppliers in the semiconductor industry like Lam research, applied materials, Synopsys and ASML...etc

  20. I work at asml, would have loved to meet you there!

  21. Fabulous history and your research is brilliant.

  23. There are other aspects of the book, in an addendum to my earlier comment, that make Mao look good in some ways. For example, until late in old age his resilience and physical power - being able to outswim some of his younger guards, while also showing what a risk taker he was, that he risked his own life sometimes for his own exercise gives insight into some of his political decisions. The flippancy for the lives of Chinese is something he sometimes, to his security team's exasperation, displayed for his own. He is also shown as having genuine love and affection for his third wife and Li even notes that the memory of his deceased second wife obviously pains him when it is brought up. But there is also a lot that makes him look bad - Li for example obviously cannot understand why Mao despised the Soviets so much when they treated him like an elder statesman and fawned over him. Mao also increasingly lies as the book goes on, becomes less and less open to criticism. I wouldn't share the opinion that Mao was a sociopath. I think he was a man who had seen a lot of death and suffering, and like you say, had become indifferent to it by the time he was an older man. But I think he did care for certain people as human beings, it's just it became less and less so as he approached his own death - with the unspoken question obviously in his mind of 'what was my entire life for?'

  24.  @Baulder13  From what he said previously he doesn't know much about the stuff - he "just" researches topic very in depth. Those scientific papers that he shows - you can be certain the he reads all of them and more. I wish I could research like him. That takes a lot of practice and helluva brain to understand it all. Regardless - this is one of the best channels when it comes to both Semiconductor/Technology/Industry part of the world AND political/economy part of the world. He focuses mostly on pacific area (duh - Asianometry) and what is important there. But silicon industry is one of the most important parts of Asia's strength.

  25. @Asianometry We too have a problem with reservoir silting in Pakistan. Our major rivers carry a lot of silt for example the Indus and Jhelum. Our 2 biggest dams (Tarbela and Mangla Dams) have been continuously silting hence their reservoir boundaries have to be periodically raised to keep up the storage capacity.

  26. As someone who works in the semiconductor supply train, well done. We all deal with this exact same scenario everyday. We're the people behind the people behind the scenes, it's a lot of work, and challenging schedules, but it's fun work.

  28. Thanks for the good summary research studies! btw, boe’s mark cap is 200b rmb, not dollar..

  29. Great topic! Sun is definitely one of the forgotten tech companies of yesteryear. Sun machines were a bit like Silicon Graphics machines or SNK's NeoGeo if you were into videogames. Cool, high tech machines that you knew existed "somewhere", but that you practically never came into intact with. I still remember how cool it felt seeing a whole room of them when I went to uni for my first semester. Can we get a special on DEC and the Alpha microprocessors next?

  31. It's your videos that are cool: simple, short, informative and objective. You help your viewers understand China - not to condemn or fawn over it - but to understand it.

  33. Having spoken to Germans who lived through WWII they put it well. "Back in 1939 when the war started, when they had fought in Poland. You knew history was being made. Of course we thought it was another history. But our daily life didn't change. Life went on at the homefront. You couldn't influence the front, so you kept going. We had kept going in 1940, and 41, and 42, and, and 43, and 44. Then in early 45 the Americans came. And life went on and we kept going."

  34. It's one of the best things about Taipei. As a visitor, you can spend days just visiting places accessible by train. It would be good to mention the gondola also. Though a little expensive compared to the train system it is more of a leisure activity I would say, unless you actually live somewhere like Maokong. I would gladly take it again to enjoy the view on the way to a mountain tea house. The Wenhu line is also really interesting to ride to get to the gondola. I'm usually in Zhongli when visiting, so can take the MRT to airport to save a few bucks, or to the HSR to get to Taipei in style for just a few dollars or another city. The regular train system is about as fast for that short distance but it's crowded. Thanks for the video, never apologize for sharing your interests. Some out there definitely will appreciate it.

  35. I'm assuming that the cat-egory of 'cat' includes both fluffy ones and those waving ones, right? I'd never really considered the economic impact of of feline populations. Is it a propinquity or density dependent impact? Is it a positive externality? Is it an externality at all? So many questions

  36. Excellent video! I think your comparison of chip design and web development is mostly valid. I used to work in the dram business, and respins were the rule rather than the exception. Analog circuits have infinite degrees of freedom, and are very difficult to simulate perfectly. First time right is much more achievable with a pure logic chip.

  37. In addition to the other good things people are saying I wanted to add a personal note on the importance of your videos. I made a choice to watch your videos and patron you. Considering I never thought I had choice before this is a big deal for me. Your videos are like reading a great magazine back in the late '80's/early '90s when I was trying to make sense of the world. Your videos are like those feature articles. Your focus on what interests you and how you boot strap people into the videos is remarkable. You presume that people who click are interested themselves and can pick up the loose threads. You don't convince people on what you think should be interesting, you are sharing what you've found. I'm glad you share. It helps me deeply as I learn to reclaim my sense of curiosity. Before I go too parasocial with you... your subtle humor hits me so hard. The picture of a computer booting dos on a CRT and it was using comic sans... devastated me with a humor so hard that I had to pause the video. Okay - enough gushing. Thank you again.

  38. I don't remember anyone calling the company by its full name - it was always just Nat Semi. And Bob Widdler was the Hunter S Thompson of analogue - widdlerising failed components with a large hammer has been a standard technique at a couple of places I worked. I've met a few of the heroes from the Valley's golden era, but I'd swap any five for an evening in a bar with him.

  39. Thanks for the video. I’m Hakka but never learn to speak it. Looking forward to more videos.

  40. I've visited the Hayashi Department Store in 2017. It was like stepping back in time. Kudos to those who restored the building. They even have an exhibit with a replica of the original elevator.

  41. China private space companies need massive fund support from Chinese government like what NASA supporting spacex.

  42. Plasmonics is pretty exciting, has the potential to bring this stuff down to the nanoscale

  43. Your channel deserves so much more popularity!!!
    18
  44. Oh wow, 600k subs! Congrats! I hadn't realized that you're close to 500 videos, making it a gold mine of content and knowledge. I even got some of my elderly parents to enjoy your Soviet and Germany computing videos.

  45. Thank you so much for this excellent chapter of hightech history. This is a relatively unknown relationship between Philips and TSMC. I know Philips history quite well that it was once the archrival of Sony during its golden era. Over the last few decades Philips had retreated from many sectors including CE, semiconductor components, and test and measurement equipment. Now it has nothing more than medical equipment division.

  46. The narrative has got more exciting!

  47. Thankyou for videos like these. You'll eventually receive a lot more attention. I hope commenters are respectful.

  48. Clicked so hard I almost break the screen on my phone.

  49. your last statement about how funny some critical industries depended on a single plant reminded me of how whale oil used to be lubricant for cars. very nice video btw

  50. Your work is outstanding. When a new video appears, I stop what ever am doing to watch it. I have lived in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan and Philippines and have learned so much from your videos that I did not know. One small comment, and since I am a somewhat new viewer, maybe I have missed it?? But I would be interested in seeing these same kind of videos on both Thailand and Philippines (which I may have missed???) if you get the time.
