I have been developing a website that links to a wide array of Marxist media in various formats. I want Marxists, new and old, to be able to go to the "Organization" section, for instance, and have instant access to books, articles, YouTube videos and so on about the topic. Now, I want your input! Particularly, I have 3 critical questions for you please.

1. Does this already exist? Firstly, I want to double check that no project like this has already been made. As far as I can tell, other websites host their own content, host a small niche selection of content, or were never developed. If you know of any, please let me know so I can direct my efforts elsewhere. 2. What do you want out of a user interface? I don't want to scare off new leftists with the dry web design that Marxists are used to searching through. My solution was a UI that resembles a movie streaming service, but I then risk compromising detail and functionality. Which layouts and features would best suit your needs? 3. How should I approach sourcing the content? Currently, I have added the essential works we all know of and am manually finding relevant articles/videos. In the future, I would hope that anyone can contribute material. I think here in Technology you all share my love of open source. Should I most simply host the site from a GitHub repository? Is Microsoft's GitHub a viable location for a Marxist site? Your input is warmly welcome to me.

Palliser Capital recently sent a letter to Toto, the $7 billion Japanese toilet maker. They called the company "the most undervalued and overlooked AI memory beneficiary." That might seem strange at first, but the connection is in materials science.

Toto is famous for its bidet toilets, but its deep expertise is in advanced ceramics. According to the FT, Toto's chuck technology uses ceramics engineered to remain perfectly stable at extremely low temperatures. This turns out to be really handy for holding silicon wafers firmly in place during cryogenic etching, which is becoming more important as memory chips get more layered and complex. Palliser believes Toto has about a five-year lead in this specific technology and should expand this side of its business.

Their advanced ceramics division already contributes 40% of the company's operating profit, despite making up less than 10% of its revenue.

Toto isn't even the most extreme example. Another company called Ajinomoto is known MSG, leveraged decades of amino acid research to development insulating film, called Ajinomoto Build-up Film (ABF), that is used in virtually every high-end GPU. They hold an estimated 95% global monopoly on this material. During the 2021 chip shortage, a major bottleneck was the supply of Ajinomoto's film.

It turns out that Japanese companies hold a majority global share in at least 14 critical semiconductor materials, showing how industrial processes are deeply connected. The sintering technique used to create a non-porous ceramic toilet is the same one used to create a contamination-free wafer chuck. The most foundational layer of computing hardware relies on companies whose public identity is built on consumer goods like toilets, food seasoning, and window glass. It's a good reminder that physical material science underpins digital advancement.
