#2The fact that Tom Cotton knows about RISC-V blows my mind.
What doesn’t shock me though is his complete misunderstanding of how open standards work.

#4What exactly did people expect to happen with this bizarre trade war? Instead of pressuring 'bad actor' countries with more free trade and something like TPP, levying pointless tariffs was obviously going to drive any joint international groups overseas. Just brainless stuff.

This is why no one takes economists seriously. Not that he's right or wrong, just that his read on the situation is totally wrong.

Why is this "comedy"? That's exactly what they are trying to do. Moreover, the US taxpayer is paying for it all.

You're misquoting him..
> The foundation’s move from Delaware to Switzerland may foreshadow further technology flight because of U.S. restrictions on dealing with some Chinese technology companies, said William Reinsch, who was undersecretary of commerce for export administration in the Clinton administration.
> “There is a message for the government. The message is, if you clamp down on things too tightly this is what is going to happen. In a global supply chain world, companies have choices, and one choice is to go overseas,” he said.
What's controversial about that? If Chinese companies want to contribute to Open Standards and US laws put all of the IP at risk, of course they're going to move to a better jurisdiction to serve their purposes.

If your worried about China recruiting your talent maybe, like, make them want to stay in the US?
This is one example of how elites in this country get to have their own form of socialism whereas say a humble computer scientist must be subjected to the whims of the invisible hand for the sake of preserving market efficiency.

Because it makes me laugh that they actually believe that the measures they're taking will somehow benefit the United States.
It also makes me laugh that they think they can control the development of open standards.

He most likely found out about it with the news that the foundation is moving overseas. Maybe lawmakers will get the message eventually?
