    Other countries may benefit. Science will suffer

      Unironically I would be literally thrilled to contribute to this brain drain. I’d drop everything and get on a plane right this very second for a chance to do a PhD in literally any other country.

      If anyone is looking to fill a electrical engineering PhD position literally anywhere but America then I’m ya boy.

          These are places I would consider if I were able to go back to school:

              wish my CC dint made it thier mission that some of thier courses were as hard or harder than ivy leagues, they claimed its for “aligning” with certain transfer universities criteria(i personally think its bs, because i dint see an official memo of them saying its true), i think its meant to keep students perpetually(dropping retaking class, washing out of a class retaking it) in the cc so they can have a constant stream of funding.

              Finland has tuition free PhD programs for nationals of any country, Germany and Netherlands offer paid research positions where you basically are a full time student and still a part time lecturer - working hours can be tough though, since you need to balance the two. If you have some modest savings, Malaysia has some excellent universities and very cheap tuition (I’m doing my phd here and pay about 10k USD for a 3 year program) and cost of living is very low.

                  Does Malaysia do their classes in English?

                      Yep, from highschool onwards the education system is fully in English. It’s pretty much an exact copy of the British system from that point on, thanks to the colonial past.

                      In EEng most positions in Germany are without mandatory teaching. Unless you want to, as you would need teaching experience to be eligible for a professorship.

                      Germany is actually really good if you have a full-time position, as the salary is somewhat comparable to a normal job, at least in CS/CE.

                        ive seen a MS holder being a TA/partial teaching of the lab only. it seem extremely stressful, hopefully hes done with his PHD by now. there were many in undergrad class were pretty uncertain with thier future in the stem.

                            Thank you for this. I couldn’t find this for some reason.

                            Yeah, we gonna need loads of that for 7th gen fighters, resilient next-gen green smart grids, etc. Bon voyage!

                            PS: we’re not better than the US, but at least our political systems can delay full fascist takeover for about 5-20 years…which may be enough time to reverse it politically or to at least create defenses against it.

                              So I am in no position to help you but I do have a very strange and hypothetical (ish) question:

                              How feasible would it be to hack a monitors firmware and use it to send and receive data, assuming that the data being sent is encoded on, say, the green color channel of said monitor and you had an sdr or some specially configured device set up somewhere to help make this very specific and bizarre idea work?

                            A community for discussing events around the World

                            Rules:

                            • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

                              • Post news articles only
                              • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
                              • Title must match the article headline
                              • Not United States Internal News
                              • Recent (Past 30 Days)
                              • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
                            • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

                            • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

                            • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

                            • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

                            • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

                            Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

                            • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

                            • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

                            We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

                            All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
