Silicon Valley shows every sign of fearing a Trump presidency, and if the president-elect's campaign rhetoric matches his governing policies, America's tech capital may have good reason to be afraid.
Meanwhile the White House is readying for a transition of power, from the most tech-friendly administration to one whose tech leanings are largely unknown. Unlike his opponent in the campaign, President-elect Trump never produced a document outlining a clear vision. What we do have instead are Twitter rants and campaign speeches blasting all of today's most valued tech companies, from calling for a boycott of Apple products to accusing Amazon and CEO Jeff Bezos of huge anti-trust problems.
In response, technology stocks have lagged the broader market gains since Trump's victory. The Nasdaq composite ended the week up 3.8 percent compared with the Dow, which logged its best weekly gain in five years. (The Nasdaq was down slightly in midday trading Monday.)
In many ways, President-elect Trump's policies are antithetical to Silicon Valley. His stated positions on jobs, immigration and trade addressed fears among much of the electorate that, among other things, technological change is dramatically increasing inequality.
Some tech leaders are already making requests.
"The number one ask in the tech industry has been the H-1B visa cap. We have situations where we have employees who are brilliant who are condo-ized. They are literally kept in condos in Vancouver and in other countries just waiting to clear the auction for H-1B. I would fix that and I would fix that on day one. If you want the quickest path to increased success in America, fix that problem," Eric Schmidt, Alphabet's executive chairman and former Google CEO, told CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin at The New York Times' DealBook Conference in New York City on Thursday.
H-1B is a visa that allows highly skilled foreign workers to work in the U.S., largely in science, technology, engineering and math-heavy occupations.
Silicon Valley is hoping President Trump wears his dealmaker hat while negotiating immigration reform. "There's an area of compromise in the basket of high-skill immigration with Sen. Chuck Schumer," said Aneesh Chopra, America's first chief technology officer.
And compromise is essential for technology companies, most of whom compete for talent in a global pool.
"The bigger opportunity is moving an infrastructure bill forward with a provision for repatriations so that tech companies might be able to bring back cash held overseas and deploy the capital for growth at home," said Chopra.
The tech sector is really hoping the new president strikes a different tone than the one he had in the campaign. "We want everyone to feel welcome in the tech sector, and this is at the heart of the anxiety with the president-elect," said Chopra, who has worked alongside President Obama for three years advancing the president's technology agenda.
"My hope is that 'talent, talent, talent' becomes the mantra to lift up those that are struggling in the economy," Chopra said.
这几年我经历了公司数次裁员,总结下来有以下几条:
1/ 做硬件的,千万别去软件公司;做软件的,千万别去硬件公司
2/ 在专业主打领域,做主流产品,做核心模块(比如核心chiplet,核心IP)
3/ 跟对老板 作者: pp_dream 时间: 2016-12-12 23:06 标题: News: Who will attend Trump's Tech Summit this week
Amazon’s (AMZN) chief executive is expected to join other tech heavyweights already planning on attending, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, Oracle co-CEO Safra Catz, Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins, as well as Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, CEO and chairman of Google parent Alphabet, respectively.
Not everyone, however, may be as eager to break bread with the president-elect, given that many tech leaders have publicly clashed with Trump. Cook and Page, for example, participated in a discussion back in May at the American Enterprise Institute’s annual World Forum around how to stop Trump’s nomination.
Trump has publicly criticized Apple (AAPL) for manufacturing its phones in China and refusing to provide security backdoors to law enforcement. Meanwhile, Trump and Bezos locked horns when the president-elect temporarily blacklisted The Washington Post, which Bezos bought in 2013, from campaign events, and described Bezos’ ownership of the Post as a tax dodge.
The president-elect has also come down hard on issues considered vital to the tech industry’s interests, including immigration and trade. Indeed, a Trump administration would possibly restrict the number of workers who enter the country with an H-1B visa — a type of visa employed by some tech workers and the same kind of visa Trump’s wife Melania received in 1996 to legally work in the U.S. 作者: pp_dream 时间: 2016-12-12 23:13

Can you imagine if the election results were the opposite and WE tried to play the Russia/CIA card. It would be called conspiracy theory!

He kept going in that vein. “There’s nobody like you in the world,” he enthused. “In the world! There’s nobody like the people in this room.” Anything that the government “can do to help this go along,” he made clear, “we’re going to be there for you.”
And that was just in the first few minutes. The candidate who warned during the presidential campaign that Amazon was going to have antitrust problems, that Apple needed to build its iPhones in the United States instead of China, was nowhere to be seen.

President-elect Donald Trump tapped former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway as "counselor to the president," the presidential transition team announced Thursday morning.
The transition team said Conway, the first female campaign manager to win a presidential race, will work with White House senior leadership on messaging and to help execute the administration's legislative priorities.
"In her position, Conway will continue her role as a close adviser to the President and will work with senior leadership to effectively message and execute the Administration's legislative priorities and actions," the Trump transition said in a statement.
Conway's role would be similar to Karen Hughes' position in the Bush 43 administration -- placing her close to the President, and handing her responsibility for much of the big-picture communication duties for the White House, a transition source told CNN's Jim Acosta. 作者: pp_dream 时间: 2016-12-23 05:09 标题: 回复 43楼pp_dream 的帖子
