alt Hacker NewsAlthough this is in 2021, it's great to see that Sam Zeloof also made Atomic Semi [0].
A display of "just doing things", no permission needed and no need for barriers and red tape.
It is another reason why I have huge promise for Substrate [1] founded by James Proud (UK native moved to US) another display of "just doing things".
However in Europe and the UK, it's "this law allows you to do this, this and this", "we've changed the law, here is a massive immediate fine", "ban encryption" (this nearly happened), "ban maths", "we are the first to regulate and ban this".
It is no wonder the US will continue to be great at building things.

Of note, Sam’s co-founder in Atomic Semi is none other than Jim Keller (!)
As much as I hate to say it Substrate is probably a fraud

If Europe has an overregulation problem, the US may also have a grifter problem
Is the "regulation bad" / "Europe bad" angle actually relevant here, or did you just take the opportunity to use this thread as your soapbox?
It’s also worth seeing how many US superfund sites are on former chip fabs. Intel, AMD, Fairchild etc. all just dumped things down the drains.
Regulations can be bad but they can also stop environmental disasters from happening.
