It is hard. Chinese have been stealing tech secret for long time. It is just rest of the world don't know how much and how!!! Chinese have planted tech stealers in Universities research labs, defense and other high tech corporations,hacking through government sponsored, just every which way you can steal and cripple country like America's future economy.

You just don't have be worry about Russians but lot more so of Chinese, way more.

Agreed. He needs more than 10 years in prison though. 

This is guy was probably a Chinese government spy from the beginning. Something very drastic has to be done about this. Stories like this one have been happening for WAY too long. They steal American technology and later they either show up selling it back to us in their  products (and they get rich from our own work), or using it against us in military weapons.

Maybe the US should block entry, or severely limit, to any adult person coming from China. Our national security and economic prosperity depends on it. 

Unfortunately there is really no easy solution. Limiting Chinese from coming here, we would lose a ton of money. Chinese tourists spent $33 billion here in the U.S. in 2016. 

The US GDP is nearly $19T, let's not sell out our future and our technology over a measly $33B. Chinese industrial espionage costs us far, far more than that. I work for a tiny biotech company and the same thing happened to us. A US trained chinese national employee stole our technology and moved back to china. Fortunately we sued him and his company and won. Russia is not our enemy, China is. We need to stop training them at our universities (at the expense of American students) and stop hiring them at our companies (at the expense of American workers). We need to also end the H1B and similar visa programs. I've worked with many on these programs and they are not exceptional or extraordinary; mediocre at best, criminals, thieves and spies at worse.

I have interviewed many people over the years. 

There are only really 2 question that  I try to find the answers to, all the supplementary questions try to find these out and are based on these 2  simple questions:

1) Can  this person do the job? Aka. Do they have the skills, or are they trying to pull the wool?

2) can they fit in lto the team (aka are they a total cancer / asshole?)

if you are trying to  find a job all you have to do is not come over as a complete ass and know what you are doing. Simple really!

Don't you want to know what animal they would be if they could be any animal?

I really admired Elizabeth Holmes and was gutted when she turned out to be a fraud. 

Another way of saying someone has a "reality distortion field" is to say they have the skill of persuasion. But it's not enough to just have that, it also has to be that the thing you are persuading people about is technically doable, and that was the difference between her and Jobs. 

I saw Bad Blood in the bookshop about a week ago and have been waiting to finish my current book before buying it.

You won't admire her or Sunny after reading the book. It was actually one of the best books I've ever read. I've been following the Theranos story for many years and was even recruited by them (I work in biotech) but thankfully never seriously considered it. I always suspected she was a fraud; it is one thing to be a great programmer in high school but to be an expert in biochemistry, enzymology and assay development takes a formal education.

More like paying the whole profits from a car for an infringing engine, transmission and electrical system.

So Wall Street's made up numbers didn't match reality again? I still don't see how this is always Apple's fault, when it's the analysts who are wrong.

Wall street estimates were pretty much spot on: Revenue: estimate = $61.1B, actual = $61.1B Earnings: estimate = $2.69/share, actual = $2.73/share iPhone unit sales: estimate: 52.3 M, actual: 52.2 M It's the rumors of lousy iPhone sales that were wrong.
