What would be really, really nice, is if some country
publicly announced that it would avoid such laws. Brain-drain
would be taken more seriously if some other country was
actively enticing US talent away.
Didn't Ireland once announce that it wouldn't restrict
crypto back when the US was still trying to do so? They've
been trying for a while to attract programming talent, and
now I think they're the #2 exporter of software worldwide.
