    Although I can't comment on whether the article is true or not... I would say this statement has a little bit of ignorance in it.... Do you honestly think the US is a lot better than other foreign nationals?

    There are a lot of software firms outside the US, probably more than you think and probably a lot of firms are foreign while you might think they are US....

  2. Definitely something to keep in mind for those who buy "pay for click" advertising.

    Another one, fantastic. Which is the location for tech that everyone immediately quotes, Silicon Valley, which is the university respected worldwide for tech, MIT, where are the most known tech firms in the world like Google, Facebook, Uber headquartered, the US.

    Don't you just love people who add 1+1 and get 40, the most advanced technology country, for those who've had too much egg nog already, may just mean the most technology in use.

    Who has the best programmers, some would say Russia, Czech, Israel, China, but they don't have their entire infrastructure embedded with tech causing exploitation points. So on balance who has the most to lose from tech intrusion, the US, which raises the question, which one of us has the ignorance, time will tell.

    We don't need any time to tell you have no idea what you're talking about and seem to be a bit match challenged as well. Again, what is your coding experience? Your experience working in software development on secure systems?

    Coding is just about ability to problem solve, IQ is a test of problem solving, average IQ of an American is 100, a Brit is 110, lower the IQ higher the Ego, Americans are all about Ego.

    Just cause your American doesnt mean your special and everyone else is stupid, this belief is why you drop your guard and get caught out.

    Thanks, missed that, abit more sensible.

    You'd of thought something would of picked up on the millions of clicks per day on a bunch of web sites, where all the clicks where from 1 part of the usa only and zero sales being generated by those clicks.

    Not sure what average IQ by nationality has to do with my post. That line of "logic" opens up a whole boatload of additional issues about what exactly IQ tests show and the correlation between IQ and achievement, the relevance of an average over a nation of several hundred million people when talking about a very specific subset of specialists comprising a few thousand people....the issues with that line of thinking just go on and on. Not to mention the fact that your data is incorrect, average U.S. IQ is 99 vs 100 for the U.K. (https://iq-research.info/en/page/average-iq-by-country) and you pulled the IQ ego statement out of your bum.
    We're getting all kinds of armchair "experts" coming out of the woodwork here aren't we!
