    This is not an EE level position. I taught 18 years old boys to do that in one day. Command format is trivial for low speed population: go to bin A, pick, go to X Y and drop - that's it. Only for stuff like optical calibration and like you need a specialist.

    >Load new component reels into the pick-and-place robot.

    Believe me or not, this what our company had huge problem.

    Not a single man was found for a trivial $60k job to tender a pick and place machine. Oregon, Washington, BC - not a single legit response in 6 month.

    I can't imagine to have this issue in China. In Shenzhen you can find a programmer for every chipshooter imaginable in 1 day for such salary.

  4. Because they had engineers competent enough to pick a more stiff alloy, and stamp the lid from no less than 3.5 mm of it.

    It is also there for stiffness. Apple's engineers didn't manage to get enough stiffness is such thin chassis

    4415Y is not an off the shelf chip.

    That kaby lake pentium gold is a garbage chip that is outperformed by atom bases pentium silver.

    The story behind its creation is Intel purpose manufacturing it for Microsoft for almost free to prevent them switching to ARM

  9. Isocyanate foam is far from cheap, wholesale rockwool, or basalt wool is cheaper.

    Foam concrete goes even further, and doubles as a minor load carrying material.

  10. When will American developers stop building highrise buildings that look like radiators? Yes, I mean ones with protruding floor slabs. Rebar inside them is a very good heat conductor. You can't talk about insulating walls until the slab is insulated.

    Second, at least some easing of glass "curtain walls" everywhere (hanging panoramic glazing) is needed. Even the most well insulated glass is nothing when compared to cheapest piece of insulation of equivalent thickness. See, even in the dirt rich UAE, skyscrapers don't have all around glazing.

    Third, cogeneration. Former Soviet bloc countries can afford continuing building piss poor insulated buildings with no energy management only thanks to "free" district heating being available from cogeneration plants.

    Fourth, energy recovery. Central air conditioning and forced ventilation can actually be net earners in a high rise if recuperation is used properly.

    And only fifth, is the wall insulation. This is something that has been a solved issue for the rest of the world since mid 20th century. Super cheap insulation been there for ages.
