So in order to be a market leader, you can't have outside help, or subcontracted components? Come on, you can't be real... Who put you up to this? Am I on Punk'd?
I'm going to take this as your lighthearted admission to being wrong. Give yourself a pat on the back, it feels good to admit it once and awhile, doesn't it?
Yes. I am wrong, give me a moment to get my backpedal up to speed.
FTFY. Factsies are a downer aren't they?
What facts?
I'm asking a simple question, and you're dancing around it. Are industry leaders allowed to subcontract out, or not?
You can't be an industry leader if you don't do any work in that industry. BFL does no actual work in ASICs if they subcontract out all of the design. Therefore they cannot be industry leaders in ASIC design.
So simple a 5 year old could understand it. Too bad you are not allowed within 200 feet of schools or you could get one to explain it to you
It didn't say they were industry leaders in ASIC design. It said semiconductor design, and it appears to be a statement by a 3rd party. They're clearly industry leaders in ASIC mining hardware design, or at least they were at the time of the article's publication.
Once again, are market leaders allowed to subcontract or not?
You must do work in an industry to "lead" it. BFL does no work in ASIC or semiconductor design. The people who actually designed the ASIC could be called leaders in ASIC mining hardware (if they actually lead the industry instead of Avalon & ASICMiner), but none of those people work for BFL.
You should deflect somewhere else. This one is a dead end for you.
This is not normal. I hope we don't disappoint him.
