Yield... Widen the metal a bit. Increases via enclosure and make it easier on the end-of-line rule. Perhaps add a dummy at the end of the diffusion. Perhaps the FAB guys can comment on the yeild hit on putting the contact above the thin diffusion.
Correct.
We create the full automation tools...
I think you are spot on. There are a lot of open source RISC-V cores, but they require VCS licenses to deal with the parameters in the RTL. The opentitan and openhardware group prefers using commercial licenses (I find this appalling), and China probably steals the VCS licenses, so they don't...
Greenland will be our version of Siberia. We will send the illegals to Greenland, and keep them there until the fabs are completed with yield of 90% on an example design. Greenland is the perfect prison. Where else can they go? After the yield hits 90%, they can be exported to Cuba after we take...
The Motorola/Freescale/Fujitsu cell phone team that Intel purchased in 2013 was an amazing team. Intel then doubled the number of people on it and took twice as long, then threw it away. Intel can try this again and perhaps not screw it up. Limit the team to 100 people maximum at $25M/year...

I run a 100% US based EDA and analog IP company (SerDes, Transceivers, Standard cells, etc). Intel won't give us the DRM. I have waited 3 years for it. I just emailed them a week ago. Nothing....
TSMC (through Imec) provides their PDKs to us quickly. We automated many of their processes (12ffc...
The casino bankruptcy was caused by the governer allowing the area across the street to be a shithole. Areas that bring in revenue should have been dealt with.
C'mon guys. How many of you actually have taped out on time... and you aren't fighting physics.
Ever hear of the Pi factor? I use this multiplier on my software developers. It is accurate to 1.7%.
