This is a frustrating aspect of studies. You have to contact the authors for full datasets. I can see why it would not be possible to publish them in the past due to limited space in printed publications. In today's world though every paper should be required to have their full datasets published to a website for others to have access to in order to verify and replicate.

I live in the US and don't support the tariffs but I'll give my best shot at answering.

The US is fairly poorly educated on the whole. In order for people to survive, there need to be an abundance of low skilled jobs. AI and automation is threatening to remove these jobs. What are the poorly educated going to do? Decades ago, someone could work in a factory for their whole life. Yes it was monotonous work but it would provide a living and allow someone to buy a house and life their life. I know because my grandparents came over from Europe after WWII and did this. They spoke poor English but could work in a factory and have a house and a car and live a good life. That's not the case anymore. With further automation and the pace of change increasing, it worries a lot of these types of people. If you have no education and your factory closes, there are not many other options for you.

The idea isn't to bring just one manufacturing plant for snapping phones together. It's to bring many, many plants back to provide these jobs for the poorly educated. So instead of just having one plant in your town, you have several. That means there will be competition for workers and wages will rise.

That's the idea anyway. Do I think it's possible to rollback to that time? No, I don't. But this is what people, mainly in rural areas, want to hear.

Part of the problem is that the US doesn't want to invest in education as a whole. Education would be a better long-term solution. Instead, this leads to the visa situation where the US needs to import a lot of technically skilled workers rather than developing them locally.

It's strange how much reverence Americans place in the presidential role as if it were actually a king.

A lot of negotiators talk about win-win agreements which may be true with just two parties. I think once you get beyond that, no true win-win agreement is possible and some people are going to lose out. Trying to appease every single interest group is what leads to a lack of progress.

How long do you think your manager should go without knowing what you're doing?

The US would be much better off today although that would have come at the expense of the new country.

You could say this about most revolutions, and wars too for that matter. They accomplish little in the long run.

This is how it is in the US. As a non-citizen immigrant I can understand this point of view. On the other hand, it's taxation without representation which is what Americans originally fought for.

Although in my defense, I was actually thinking of leaving the company before becoming lead. In fact I probably stayed longer than I would have otherwise due to the opportunity.

I disagree about the open source effect. I think the rise of open source has been a great catalyst for advancing the industry. If every company had to do everything themselves, the Internet would still be stuck in the 1990's.

It had always been in the back of my mind to move to the US for work but I never did due to not being confident enough.

I realized in my mid-30's that I was approaching a "now or never" scenario and finally made the move to the Bay Area. I really wish I had done it right away at the start of my career rather than spending time at small companies working on small projects.

I know it's better late than never but I know I would have been so much further along in my career by now had I followed my instincts.

This time around, I put in 6 months of preparation and it paid off. It's the first job in my 10+ year career where I've felt like I got to choose the job I wanted rather than just accepting what was offered. Although the difference with me is that I feel like this is the first job where I have a strong possibility of staying for more than 4 years.

I think a better lesson would have been to make sure to check in with the other 2 stakeholders soon after the meeting and provide them with the minutes so they were in the loop.
