Let’s quickly look at the top article of the week before getting into the current story.
“INTC has lost the leadership in process technology, its key differentiation, and it is losing momentum,” he wrote in a research report published Tuesday. “We continue to be more pessimistic about INTC gross margins as its competitive position is eroding and yields for 10nm are likely to depress gross margin in 2H:19.”
INTC is still running into an issue when it comes to 10nm wafer technology, so how is it going to deal with TSM and AMD that are gearing up to sell 7nm chips. Intel states that it will be ready to sell 10nm chips in 2020, while AMD is gearing up to sell 7nm chips in bulk next year. In the short term, the picture does not appear to be positive for Intel.
Andy Grove was right when he stated the following “Only the Paranoid Survive” It appears those at the helm of Intel have allowed a culture of arrogance to mushroom. To the early bird comes the worm, to the late bird the bullet. AMD vs Intel: Who Will Dominate the Landscape going forward
Gun-free zones
As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump vowed to make Americans safer from attacks like those that left scores dead in Paris, San Bernardino, and Orlando. Eliminating restrictions that bar people from carrying guns places where firearms are currently banned, he frequently declared, is key to that strategy.
“I will get rid of gun-free zones on schools, and — you have to — and on military bases,” he said at a rally in Burlington, Vermont, in January. “My first day, it gets signed, okay? My first day. There’s no more gun-free zones.” His promise resonated with his conservative base. The National Rifle Association has made doing away with gun-free zones a top priority, characterizing them as a “horror” that give criminal madmen and terrorists license to “destroy innocent lives unchallenged.” In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, 64 percent of Republicans said they supported allowing teachers to carry guns in schools.
But the reality of what it would take to dismantle the myriad laws and rules that have established the zones is far more difficult than Trump has made out. For starters, a president can’t simply order them out of existence by executive action, as Trump has implied. The United States Congress, senior military leaders, state legislatures — even private business owners — would all have a say. Full Story
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump pledged to eliminate gun-free zones at schools and military bases.
One thing we should clarify right off the bat: The Pentagon actually eased rules for carrying guns on military bases before President Barack Obama left office.
A Defense Department directive released on Nov. 18, 2016, said that commanders “may grant permission to (Defense Department) personnel requesting to carry a privately owned firearm (concealed or open carry) on DoD property for a personal protection purpose not related to performance of an official duty or status.”
That doesn’t go quite as far as Trump suggested, but it still represented a significant easing of the rules. However, since it occurred before Trump took office, we’ll primarily rate this promise based on any changes during Trump’s presidency that affect gun free zones in schools.
As we noted in our previous update, there have been some legislative efforts in this area.
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., introduced a bill, the Safe Students Act, in the House to repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990, on Jan. 3, 2017. Full Story
