This is a very valid point and you must not be afraid to be seen as a ‘nationalist’ (whatever that means anyway).

One of my biggest concerns with China - as a a European - is that Brussel allows Chinese companies to buy huge amounts of European IP(eg robots, automotives, AI) but the Chinese government, on the other hand, forbids (or makes it very difficult) that foreign companies buy Chinese IP. So its a one way road !

Luckily some government officials now realized that and are actively trying to combat Chinese acquisitions (eg German foreign minister), but its still a real danger. China essentially takes huge advantage of our openness and our liberal markets but does not return the favour...
Having done this first hand, can you comment on whether or not they met the price? A VC related a story where an employee of a different company had offered to sell him his exercised common shares, and the company reminded the employee that they had first right of refusal, so the employee offered them to the company at the same price he was going to sell them to the VC, which the company took.

The employee got what they wanted (cash for their stock).

If some state say Iowa sees most young people move out of state then they don't get direct economic benefits from educating well. Alternatively, Virginia may benefit from importing an educated population and have less economic incentive to educate it's own population well.

Yes, their are incentives to educate your own children well, but a Florida retiree may not have any kids or grand kids in state and thus not care about educating people without a direct connection to them.

Those connections and thus incentives become more direct at the national level.

We could keep talent if we just allowed people to work here. We don’t. We only allow 65,000 people to work in large corporations, in specific industries, at the behest of the company, under constant threat of deportation and after gambling thousands of dollars on the chance at approval.

My friends went back to China because the US is incredibly unwelcoming to hard-working immigrants and provides no reliable path to citizenship or permanent residency besides fraudulent marriage. Why should intelligent hard working people put up with that? At a certain point dignity and a reliable future are more important than the chance at a higher salary. The more developed China becomes the less reason there is to put up with those hardships.
That was also complicated by Verizon using a CDMA network - most third party phones are GSM and wouldn't work on their network.

Luckily LTE means we're seeing the back of all this, though I think you still need a CDMA phone for areas that do not yet have LTE.

The answer is "not fascism." The Empire and First Order are fascist regimes. Fighting fascism is the answer. There is no perfect system. But systems that support the systematic oppression of all people via threat of violence are evil.

>U.S. wireless service costs $41 per month per customer on average, according to the data and analytics firm—second only to Canada, which also largely discourages Huawei equipment. In the U.K., where Huawei is allowed but closely scrutinized, the average wireless bill is $23 a month.

This is not only false, but dangerously false. We are in the process of discovering that certain classes of popularly-prescribed drugs (eg ACE inhibitors for blacks, certain chemotherapy drugs for Asians) are ineffective or even toxic for populations not represented in the relevant drug development research cohorts. It's not identity politics to note that pharmacokinetics can differ between individuals and populations. These differences do not explain all of the population-level morbidity and mortality differences between ethnicities, but they are significant when investigating differences between groups on the same course of treatment.

Not really, but no country does this fairly, and they're not wrong (within a limit). Key word: immigration. Is it fair that Canadians don't need a visa to visit the US but Mexicans do? No, but they're not wrong and Mexico is free to require a visa as well.

> Can I assume you agree with Trumps immigration bans by any chance?

The travel ban, not the immigration ban. And no, I don't agree that people with a valid visa (or even permanent residents, which was what the Supreme Court shot down first) shouldn't be allowed to visit (unless there's a specific issue).
>>I and my fellow c-suite colleagues went to the board with our objection, and CEO decided to continue executing the unethical behavior, I and a few of my c-suite colleagues all bailed. That sucked hard.

First, I don't know for sure, but one of the reasons why they might show in their balance loss like that, is that they don't want to pay taxes ie. tax evasion strategy.

The fact that is working as designed has no bearing on the question of whether it is a physics problem. You could just as well say (as Intel's press release seemed to to be trying to imply) that there isn't a fault at all, whether physical or not, because it is working as designed.

But your own description of it working as designed is within the context of a state-machine model, and in that model, there is no attack vector; that only appears when you take the physics of the implementation into account. There wouldn't even be a cache except for the temporal physics of memory access. That it works as designed is beside the point because the design did not take the physics into account.

Looking at it from the other direction, how do you conclude that rowhammer does exploit a physical phenomenon, without being inconsistent about what that means?
Well, that's a rather pie-in-the-sky fiction (requiring total cooperation from everybody at once, btw), given that IP-based solutions have already eaten the world. Also, a broadcast radio network is useful outside of emergencies as well. (Not to mention that you're still assuming mobile coverage)

> Because banks hold reserves in amounts that are less than the amounts of their deposit liabilities, and because the deposit liabilities are considered money in their own right, fractional-reserve banking permits the money supply to grow beyond the amount of the underlying base money originally created by the central bank.

Shanghai is much worse than SF on average. It dips into the red zone more often, retreating when it rains. Shanghai is much better than the rest of china barring Shenzhen, Xiamen, and maybe Kunming, but it would still come across to an American visitor as smoggier than they were used to.

Leader election in distributed systems is still an unresolved problem AFAIK except for proof of work. The problem is what does the leader have to give up to be a leader? The economic value of being the leader must be balanced by the work to become the leader otherwise there is an opportunity for arbitrage.

I read up some more, and I see that I've over simplified it. I like your description better.

I think I must have been assuming a situation along the lines of "bank loans out 90% of its deposits, and then all those debts are moved to other institutions", in which case I expect the bank would be left with 10% of its original deposits plus the loan agreements, the total value of the latter being equal to ~9x the value of the remaining deposits.
