This single entry visa issue is for Iranians. However problem with entering to the US is for many people "including Iranians". As an Iranian, it is hard to chose which one is less harmful. Many of my friends got stuck in the US and can't even visit their family.

+1 :) This is a major issue with friends back in Sydney. I know talented engineers + researchers far brighter than me who would command top dollar in SF whilst working on their passion that are stuck with mediocre pay and at best tangentially related work at home =[
A solid startup ecosystem is the way to fix that. Takes a long time to get going and the US has several intrinsic advantages there though

It does..I think what
@Smerity is getting at is correct though. They have an advantage for *now*. Increased competition would still improve things there. I"m not saying japan will be on top per se but at some point other benefits start to matter more. -
That's ultimately what pushed it for me (customers and whatever else aside). It's possible to have a viable *enough* ecosystem and factor in other things such as quality of life/family etc. I still have SF connections. I don't have a big reason to hire there though. Canada pref

Agreed, though it's a hard path to begin with and worse for Australia due to ease of brain drain to the US. The Australian government are idiots when it comes to innovation but I assume that's common to most govts.https://twitter.com/Smerity/status/948455561007218688 …

It also means that the "seed" start-ups who move outside of the intrinsic advantages of the US tech ecosystem are generally working against their own interests. If the local government doesn't step in to support you (and even if they do), you're disadvantaging yourself.
