We are pretty open here in the US, sure. I mean I'd never expect things like [0] from China, let alone (what I'd expect to be) comparatively loud work coming from academia.
I say let them keep trying, with some security tweaks here and there as needed/justified. But redouble our connections with academia. We need to harness massive growth in the face of such a conservative opponent, not more excuses to slow things down and stabilize around security so soon.

- DeonPenny 8y agoThis sounds crazy
- Something1234 8y agoSounds more like a Chinese agent trying to steal American secrets.
- Workaholic_87 8y agoDing Ding...we have a winner. I work in the maritime technology space for several large corporations and over the past 18-24 months it is crazy how many LinkedIn requests, cold emails, etc from pretty obvious fabricated profiles from China (and some RU) I've been receiving. side-note - completed a graduate program @ MIT
- themodelplumber 8y agoDear MIT graduate, please join our espion...err LinkedIn group thank you
- remarkEon 8y ago>not excuses to slow things down and stabilize around security so soon. What sort of signal in the noise would tell us that it is indeed time to slow things down and stabilize around security?
- themodelplumber 8y agoYour enemies have more resources to gamble on openness than you do. Which they don't, not even close. Or their espionage _and_ replication skills, given the tech and human gap, are good enough to make up for it. Which, based on the domestic defense tech we are seeing from China, is not yet even close to proven. It's not a time to be cocky. But we must continue to leverage our comparatively open processes. That was a key lesson of the cold war.
- kevin_thibedeau 8y agoOur open processes let the Chinese collect detailed records on every cleared person in the US when the OPM didn't bother to follow the NSA security guidelines.
- themodelplumber 8y agoEven better reason to keep pushing forward on new plans and sacrificing security rather than doubling down on security. Make the information obsolete. There's always a hole or a mole somewhere, so you widen the economic-technological gap. Also in this arena it strikes me that western cyber forces are fortunate indeed that their potential adversaries have a famously centralized governing style. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that we already had some hilariously complete records of that sort from our own expeditions.
- remarkEon 8y ago>Make the information obsolete. You can't be serious. "Make private information public" is an absurd reaction to what is a clearly offensive operation.

- simula67 8y agoThis would prove the OP's point, wouldn't it ? Soviet Russians had interesting discoveries in semiconductors also [1]. However, they were never able to parlay it to economic success as US and other western powers were able to [1] https://hsm.stackexchange.com/questions/6367/did-russia-have-their-own-discoveries-in-the-development-of-semiconductors-and-t https://hsm.stackexchange.com/questions/6367/did-russia-have...
