Some of the employees in that factory are indeed working effectively 3 hours. But they're on the job for the full eight hours of their shift.
Why is that? Goodyear, the current owner of the fab, has lowered the amount of tires that they have to produce per day.
And why is that? Because they want to close that factory. They've been trying for 6 years now, but the union has shown the management's shenanigans time and time again.
When I saw that letter, the first word that came to mind was: bullshit. How can a guy like this be the CEO of a corporation?
For the French TGV, the whole train is coupled from one side to the other. The bogies are actually in between cars, so you can't remove just one car like that.
The reason is high-speed stability. There was just one case of a TGV going off track at high-speed, and it only resulted in minor injuries because the whole train just slowed down due to this rigidity.
Well, the fact that they've been creating features smaller than the wavelength of the illuminating light is nothing to write home about either.
Current chips (since at least the 180nm node) are being fabbed this way at all microelectronics fabs all around the world. We already use 193nm light to create features as small as 22nm (using tricks like immersion, double-exposure and OPC)
I personally get ruffled the wrong way when I see people generate insane overhead by latching binaries to mails instead of using sensible ways of transfer Sometimes you don't really have a choice: our customers usually do not have access to anything but email. Access to FTP, HTTP is firewall'ed - for security, but also because the management is cheap and doesn't want to spend money on internet access.
Due to that, we have developed a whole infrastructure based on e-mail - they can file support ticket entirely through email, etc.

Ever ate oysters? That would be it.
