Advocates argue decline in #InternationalStudents will ultimately hurt the #US #economy because #immigrants often play key roles in #startups & #research.

“International students aren’t just tuition revenue. A decline in international students is not just a matter for next year’s enrollment cycle for universities—it’s a strategic setback for America’s role as a hub of global talent, #science & #innovation,” said Chris Glass, a Boston College prof & researcher on international #HigherEducation.

Glass & others say #universities depend on #InternationalStudents to help power #research projects, bolster their revenue & help expose domestic students to a broader array of #cultures & #ideas. Foreign students make up about 6% of enrollment at #US #colleges.

Been thinking about the RP2350 as the core of some fun little sustainable computing devices/projects. Two 150MHz cores, 520K SRAM, and megabytes of QSPI flash is pretty generous.

Using the PMUs, etc, one could isolate the cores from each other a bit, having one act as kernel/ioservices via async syscall / RPC, and the other run "app" code.

Undecided if I want to focus on the M33 or RV32IMAC cores for this, both have their plusses and minuses...

@alcinnz @kevinrns well I think #creators must be able to #profit from their work, like #Franquin could sell his #commicbooks #SpirouEtFantasio #GastonLagaffe . If there aint no #copyrightlaw anyone could copy his #creation, and he couldnt make or would have made less money from it.
But like #patentlaw, #copyright must expire sometime, and not like #disney's #MickeyMouse who's been protected from being copied for #waltdisney's entire lifetime and 70 afterwards …

@alcinnz @kevinrns (2/2) #patents expire at like 10 years and are ment for #inventions, while #copyright is ment for #thoughts and #ideas and can be eazier to profit from than inventions , cause you dont need to persuade buyers of your invention's effectiveness, your thoughts just need to be appealing. So, im arguing for a #copyrightexpirationdate set at maximum 25 years
