Completely agree.
41 with two kids, all that time spent working should have been spent experiencing the world and having a lot more fun.
I think a combination of getting more senior at work and having kids reduces your choices in how you can spend your time (To be fair it opens up new options as well). It highlights the value of your time and how little you got in return for it when it was abundant.

It's probably worth remembering that there is an open source exemption. If a piece of 'intrusion software' has been published the export controls no longer apply.
Publish your exploits to github before you send them overseas or travel to the conference to announce them.

This is not a practical distinction with regard to the legislation.
A word document describing the specification for an export controlled technology is as prohibited from export as the implementation.
Having the word document on a laptop you take to another country is as much a breach of the law as shipping a centrifuge.

Why do you dislike Huawei in particular? I could hazard some guesses but most of the reasons I would guess are present in every other manufacturer I can think of. I'm truly interested in why that's a problem for you.
Apparently they signed up Huawei with a contract where they warranted there were no backdoors in the hardware. Guarantees nothing of course but props for the chutzpah to demand such an outrageous clause in the contract.

I would recommend having a look at Unseen (https://unseen.is/), early days but a promising privacy focused startup. Priavcy policy here (https://unseen.is/privacy.html).
Also Qwant (https://www.qwant.com/) who also have a strong privacy focus for a search engine, privacy policy and settings here (https://m.qwant.com/privacy).

When talking about the Iraq dossier there were proven falsehoods.
"Without exception, all of the allegations included within the September Dossier have been since proven to be false, as shown by the Iraq Survey Group."
