I actually know a lot of people who will be directly affected by this and might decide to leave the US as a result.

Trump's dumbest move BY FAR.

SUMMARY OF H-1B EXECUTIVE ORDER

- ENTRY BAN: No H-1B visa holder may enter the United States beginning Sunday September 21st, including current visa holders, unles they pay $100K to enter.

- VISA FEE: New H-1B and H-1B extensions must pay 100K to be processed and 100K per year every year thereafter to maintain them.

This will effectively end the H-1B program completely. No one, even the highest paid at 500K will be paying an extra 100K a year to the government.

It will destroy the health care, higher education, and technology sectors as we know them if this isn't struck down in court.

Harvard this year ranks Taiwan 4th globally on its Atlas of Economic Complexity AEC

The AEC tracks a country’s Economic Complexity Index, which considers the diversity & ubiquity of a country’s products. Basically how diverse& irreplaceable a country’s products are to the global economy.

Taiwan ranks high because its high tech products are highly complex & cannot be easily replaced by another country.

China, on the other hands, while an exporting powerhouse, ranks low because many countries can produce what it is selling globally.

THE LAUNCH SEQUENCE

A new collection of 16 essays on how to accelerate AI for science & security: https://t.co/6CMHydbMOg

The AI revolution is already delivering enormous consumer benefits. But AI progress won't automatically solve humanity's most important problems first. To get the future we want, we need to shape the trajectory of AI progress.

This series is a step toward that future…

I honestly don't know any of the words on the top half, but I know all the words on the bottom half.

Is that telling me something?

[Steve Stewart-Williams @SteveStuWill]

Which words are known better by women than men, and which by men than women.

I’ve removed the key showing which color represents which sex, because I’m pretty sure you won’t be needing it…

I spent over 100 hours compiling and analyzing over 5,000 videos of soldiers trying to escape UAV drones — pulling material from Telegram, Reddit, and other sources. Here is what i found out.

It took slightly longer than I thought, but we're here now.

Oh, they are really going at it…

Another exhibit in superpower suicide.

[Jonathan Gorard @getjonwithit]

Fun bit of history: the Navy won the initial contract to launch the first US satellite, because the US didn’t like the optics of it going to a bunch of German immigrants, using an adapted V-2.

The Navy’s rocket wasn’t ready in time to beat Sputnik, then blew up on the launchpad.

Is Trump going to be the most corrupt president in human history by values transacted?

[Rho Rider @RhoRider]

Justin Sun SEC investigation dropped after he buys a load of Trump coins

Binance SEC investigation dropped after they launder $2B in Trump coins via Saudis

Sensing a pattern here…🚔

Unfathomable levels of corruption in the open.

@christinelu I guess if the owner is already paying >3k yearly for full coverage, this better get covered

Students looking to study in the US:
Better delete those negative posts and start praising the supreme leader if you don't want your visa denied.

Trump year-to-date cuts in scientific fields at the NSF

Mathematical sciences: -72%
Physics: -85%
Chemistry: -57%
Astronomy: -53%
Biotech, energy, and health sciences: -9%
Earth sciences: -80%

I feel stupid for once talking about DEI threatening science.

[Hunter📈🌈📊 @StatisticUrban]

Cutting US STEM funding in half is exactly what you’d do if you wanted the US to lose to China

[Michael Sobolik @michaelsobolik]

It’s just not doing it.

Which is insane — because the CCP leveraged TikTok to influence U.S. public opinion against tariffs on China.

What’s coming next will be worse. Beijing will leverage it in our upcoming elections. They’ve done it in Europe. They’ll do it here.

[cpt @cptwei]

@ted_huang He's certainly a busy man

[cpt @cptwei]

what the hell is going on

[Demetri @AsiaLens]

Trump dramatically shrinks National Security Council by putting staff on leave, firing others, and sending detailees back to home agencies. Most of the China team has been removed. Staff were given 30 minutes to clear their desks.
