TSMC Takes on Arizona needs to be a documentary
— Jordan Schneider (@jordanschnyc) April 23, 2024
"U.S. engineers told Rest of World that some Taiwanese male engineers had calendars with bikini models on their desks and occasionally shared sexual memes in group chats.

The Taiwanese are too chuddy for the Arizona TSMC plant to work out

Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?

Nei ge is more than "that", it's also the equivalent of "like" to a valley girl, Chinamen use it as a filler word and will just go "neighbor neighbor neighbor" when they're thinking of what word to say.

East Asians continue to aspire to the absolute extreme of every American idea. Americans being result-oriented at the expense of their employees? Frick it, Korea is doing that but for 100+ hours a week while ALSO expecting you to kiss your managers butt so hard you give him an enema AND pay for your own drinks at mandatory company happy hour.

I've seen this kind of thing a few times. American employees are actually very relaxed, and will accept all kinds of mistreatment (PIPs, arbitrary firings, layoffs, at-will employment, etc.). But they won't accept public humiliation. The solution is simple: bring them into a private office and communicate criticism unemotionally. This requires literally zero effort from a manager and is unambiguously superior. But some foreign managers think shouting is Very Important, even if it increases turnover and reduces performance.
Regardless of how managers feel, TSMC doesn't have an option. America has demanded US fabs as part of its relationship with Taiwan. The Taiwanese government sees US military support as an existential need. Arrogant middle managers sneering at local staff are INSECTS in this exchange, and if they prioritize

One of the people in my ex polycule was a pokemon fan. Let's call them A. It is important to note that at this time, I had not unlocked my kin memories of the joker and only knew I was Kermit. A knew I had memories of being a muppet, and yet they always dismissed my concerns that them engaging in pokemon contridicted their vegan, anti animal cruelty lifestyle because, according to them, "It's not like they're real animals who can feel things, Kermit. They're fictional." Oh. So, just because I'm a muppet, a fictional, nonreal animal, it's ok if I am abused. A claimed that's not what they meant. But I always knew they saw non-real creatures such as myself as fair game for abuse, which became clear after they and the other 2 in the polycule ganged up on me and dumped me for a fricking misunderstanding.

I think semiconductors might be one of the few jobs where they require a Ph.D.

Nah process engineering can be broken into with just a bachelors as long as you're okay with starting at the bottom of the totem pole and can stand slaving away on production tools. PhDs are only needed if you want to get into cutting-edge R&D work.

What does the job entail? overseeing a automated production line?

For an entry-level position, it'll be working on a single tool and overseeing/optimizing the process. A single modern wafer goes through hundreds of steps to make a finished product, and you'll be in charge of making sure one or two or a dozen of them can go smoothly.
All the tools are extremely automated, so it's mostly about tweaking parameters in a recipe that someone smarter than you developed to hone in on a process that is a fraction of a % more reliable.

Hey, I saw that you just joined rdrama and a group of people who hate me are trying to smear my name by calling me a date male feminist. I just wanted to let you know that it's not true. If you want all the receipts proving it they're right here.
The TL;DR is that I hooked up with one of the hot girls on rdrama, and since I was twice her age, a lot of the guys here who wanted to bang her got jealous and assumed that the only way I could have managed that was by raping her, even though she herself said both before and afterwards that it was all completely consensual. So now that you're the new hot girl on rdrama, I guess they think that I'm going to somehow seduce you into flying all the way across the country (or some crazy shit like that) to hook up with me and they're trying to talk shit about me to make sure that doesnt happen. I don't understand it either, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm a nice guy and I hope you'll look at the evidence and make up your own mind instead of listening to all the jealous haters.
Anyway, with that little intro out of the way, welcome to rdrama! The culture's a little rough here and you're probably going to get tons of requests to •show boobsU but if you talk to some of the women here first before engaging with all the creepy dudes, they'll give you some good advice to avoid stalkers and predators. Or (If you haven't been scared off by the rumor mill) you're welcome to ask me and I'm happy to help.
Just out of curiosity, how did you find this place?
