I agree, I use xmpp all the time, but the clients are really underwhelming... Not sure how it's so complicated to give them a facelift to update them while keeping the existing functionality. This reminds me of the debates about the #blender ui in the past, where gray beards argued that the interface was just fine....aesthetics matter;) @poVoq
@maegul there should really be a license for that, which allows for free use in a non-commercial manner but triggers a responsibility to contribute back financially, even in a small way, when there is commerce involved.
This could provide a funding model for #FOSS#OpenSource projects that are exploited by the likes of #amazon etc that could and should be supporting them, for the value they bring.
@yogthos to make this even more striking, I would be very interested to know how many foreign students are included in the US numbers....specifically how many are actually Chinese Foreign nationals that simply return home with their new-found American education.
Capitalism would be so hilarious if it wasn't just sad. The system sows the seeds of its own demise with such short-sightedness, and unfortunately we as citizens of the west suffer.

Those numbers are impressive, 4.6 million STEM graduates vs 330k in the US in one year!? Holy shit! No wonder they are advancing so quickly, they are actually investing in their future, unlike the West.
