Depends pretty heavily on the destination of the export, i.e. not China.

not sure I understand, I read a lot of research papers from China.

My read: China is seen as a serious geopolitical rival that the United States must beat in a shooting or Cold or AI or <insert here> war. As a result PHDs to China as an export would be a negative impact, not a positive one potentially.

America gave China its space (and ballistic missile) program when they deported Qian Xuesen in 1955.

That was a grave mistake, but there is no point in continuing to aid those programs with PhD exports.

When looking at China, this fable has been on my mind for the longest even as I’d hoped that market forces would liberalize it: https://fablesofaesop.com/the-eagle-and-the-arrow.html

Obviously, any hopes evaporated with China’s heavy-handed approach to Hong Kong.

Or their constant threats against Taiwan, or their oppression of LGBT people in their borders, or their genocide against the Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang, or their heel-turn into racialized nationalism (Han Chauvinism).

Correct, didn't think I would have to spell that one out.

Yeah, I read a lot of research papers from China too.

Don't attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by ignorance.

That seems like a cliché happily championed by the malicious.

Vs. conspiracy theorists are happy to imagine an evil genius black op behind every village idiot?

Snowden proved that conspiracy theorists were right.

Broken clocks are occasionally right. Yet intelligent people never seem to use them to tell time...

He wasn't the only one.

What fraction of conspiracy theories have proven correct, at a Snowden-ish level?

My sense is that conspiracy theorists are essentially a cron job crying "Wolf!" every 60 seconds. The occasional real-world wolf does not justify paying any attention to the alarms. OTOH, it's a false dichotomy to believe that the false alarms prove the non-existence of wolves.

Or by competence… Why are we trusting that creating a large and corrupt company would somehow help anyone in EU?

If the past decade of my life has taught me anything, it's "attribute all malicious actions to malice." It's usually just a matter of direct vs. indirect malice. Meaning, are they directly benefiting from their malicious actions or are they just assholes who "do it for the lulz".

The malicious actions are just at the potential stage at the moment. Someone has the capability to mess with our buses by means of a remote software update.

Just like someone has the capability to do with virtually everything we have running software.

Results matter.

It's still highly targeted, not sweeping surveillance.

What should they be buying instead? The other available multi-role fighters that would all get blown to pieces by an F-35 before they knew what hit them?

This should be titled, "How Employee Stock Options Work"

Not to mention how much it leaves unanswered.

What happens to your options if the company goes public or gets acquired before you exercise?

What if you exercise but decide you want to sell but the company isn't public?

I want to know why a burner account posted this comment. There could be many reasons, some more entertaining than others. Of course the answer could be boring, but do you care to elaborate?

I use Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC, which as far as I'm aware has all the features that Pro has (plus the IoT Enterprise stuff) and zero bloat. I switched to it from my already de-bloated 11 Pro installation (because it removes some telemetry you're normally unable to disable) and have had 0 issues with it. I can't say I activated it using a normal retail product key, however, there are easy solutions to that.

This is generally how my team works, but we don't have a hard cap on the time. I just think nobody wants to debate about technical implementations early in the morning.
