A study finds that foreign direct investment accounts for 98% of Vietnam's electronics exports, "signaling limited technology spillovers" to the local economy (Lien Hoang/Nikkei Asia)

Electronics FDI might trap local firms at the assembly level if nothing changes

People up a few levels in org hierarchies are always coming up with ideas that sound great and make sense in a Powerpoint or on a spreadsheet, but are actually terrible ideas if you understand how they’ll play out.
This is only human! Management is about seeing things zoomed out — and all problems look smaller at a distance. It’s just a hazard of the job. Anyone in such a role is susceptible, even the best; what distinguishes •good• managers / administrators is that they mindfully, actively counter this self-trap.

Booby trap!

Second participation for this year #nodevember made in Blender.
day 15 : Trap
(I Got to dial down my ambitions , this one took several days)
Everything is nodes exept for the camera.
I used some of nodegroups from @erindale , higgsas and Bradley_animation
Did a similar idea as one of my 2019 QuillTober : ( https//pachyder.me/@Nael/102888467994814393 )

One of the reasons I support free transit is because relying on fare revenue is a trap. One economic downturn, one pandemic, and suddenly the transit system is on life support and needs to drastically reduce service. On the other hand, funding operations through general taxes allows voters to dictate how to handle funding operations, rather than markets.
[This is just one reason I like free transit; I have many. And yes, if your democracy is broken, so is your transit]

Britain clearly has a problem with too many people going to university, and Badenoch proposes to change that.
Imagine how much better off the UK would be, if Cameron, Osborne, Bojo, Gove et al had never gone to Oxford!

Is it a trap? Yes.
Will I try anyway? Also yes.

Series C, Episode 07 - Children of Auron
AVON: Maybe not, but dispassionately, without prejudice or emotion.
CALLY: So what's Orac's dispassionate assessment? A trap?
AVON: We haven't got that far.
ZEN: Distress signal from Auron.
CALLY: Details.

Quantifying Charge Noise Sources in Quantum Dot Spin Qubits via Impedance Spectroscopy, DLTS, and C-V Analysis
The coherence and fidelity of quantum dot (QD) spin qubits are fundamentally limited by charge noise arising from electrically active trap states at oxide interfaces, heterostructure boundaries, and within the bulk semiconductor. These traps introduce electrostatic fluctuations that couple to the qubit via spin-orbit interactions or charge-sensitive confinement potentials, leading to dephasing and gate errors. In this work, we present a general trap characterization framework for identifying an…
