My point was that long-term, since free markets generally work over a period of at least several years, if you pay programmers well, then the field will attract more programmers.
It did, in 80's and early, pre-dotcom 90's. So it attracted a huge number of charlatans and frauds who heard that they can get an easy, high-paying job writing stuff in Visual Basic. And then the whole software industry went to shit.
Inductive car chargers are a monopoly-enabling technology -- people won't be able to charge their car without going to the charging station that sells electricity above the prices from electric utilities.
"Cost" in money is irrelevant when you have a truly sovereign country (or at least one that doesn't have to buy everything from large American companies). Cost in time, number of people, and depletion of natural resources, is far lower for nuclear energy than for anything else.
You were probably born in to a working class family under communist regime..
Actually I am Electrical Engineer in the third generation.
and abandoned everything and ran into the loving arms of the USA to live a relatively comfortable and safe life the moment things got a little tough back home.
If Capitalism is so wonderful, why would I move to the center of your colonial empire instead of waiting for it to bestow the unimaginable benefits upon me at home?
Now after grown up and fed on some anti-us propaganda you yearn for "fixing" what you think is mistakes people made in history books. There are no such mistakes.
I lived in USSR for 22 years and in US for 19 years. I am still surprised how accurate Communists' portrayal of Capitalism was, especially considering how inaccurate was their view of their own actions.
The consensus has been reached on USSR history and it is accurate.
Your "consensus" nothing but impression that US propaganda is trying to make. Your "historians" can't even spell out what caused your own Great Depression almost a century ago -- no sane person can take them for anything other than paid propaganda hacks.
So, keep your mouth shut when you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
I am sure, I know what I have witnessed myself. You, on the other hand, only heard the output of your friendly propaganda workers. No wonder, you sound so confident.
Of course, gulags never really existed, that is clearly fiction.
Actually "gulags" could not possibly exist in more than one instance, as "GULAG" means "Department of [Penitentiary] Camps", the organization that overseen prisons and prison camps. You don't know what the word means, why do you think, you are not similarly misinformed about details?
The truth is, the word "GULAG" entered into the English-use language through Solzhenitsyn's "GULAG Archipelago", a work of fiction.
Under Communism,
Under Communists in power. The social system is called Socialism, not Communism.
everyone was eating cotton candy all the time.
I can assure you, when I lived there, there were no shortages of cotton candy.
You still require resources (natural, financial) to do anything.
No, you don't. "Financial resources" do not exist outside of commerce, natural resources used in any high technology production are insignificant and widely available. All you need is to have spare time.
The numbers you have, are written by your friendly propaganda workers, with some help from one fiction author (who was legitimately pissed off, but there the reality ends as far as he is concerned).
Shoud I post everything (fictional and real, as your examples also include plenty of fiction) about US government tortuting, killing and in other ways abusing people?
And once any, no matter how small, number of people disobeys and decides to distribute the technology, then what? Fight exponentially growing army that everyone else will build? Such a government will become irrelevant very soon.
There will be a power grab by the rich or by the people. It's not at all inevitable that the people will win.
How? With no scarcity and no way to keep secrecy forever, there is no way to keep people from producing robots "illegally". Any organization that tries to enforce that, will be crushed by ones that do not (and have thousands times more weapons produced by robots).
There is one absolutely unavoidable consequence of this -- for most people it will be absolutely pointless to do any work they don't want to do. Better yet, any attempt to "motivate" people to do anything would result in damage to the economy because their work will be unneeded, unwanted and worse than anything done without them.
What means, Capitalism as an economic system will be over. Sure, there will be "capitalists" eager to enforce their "property rights" over things made by robots, but wide availability of robots would strip those people of any power to dictate who can build and control more robots, so society will eventually acknolwedge that it does not matter who owns what when anyone can build a device that will build devices that eventually will build a kingdom. Preservation of natural resources will be a much more fundamental problem, and solutions will have to deal with that -- obviously not through distributing "ownership" of natural resources to random assholes.
And you know what? It does not matter what you will try to do. It does not matter what kind of society you, or your masters will try to build. What I have described is the inevitable result. And I welcome it.
Yeah, because windows n00bs all ask about device drivers for iPhone accessories or insist on running Windows on their Sony TVs.
Give it up, hairyfeet. No matter how much do you post, you won't create an impression of legitimacy for Microsoft's talking points that you and your colleagues are spewing. We hate you. Everyone who knows what you, Microsoft astroturfers, are doing, hate you. We don't want your approval, we want you to fear us and hate us. And judging by the amount of Microsoft propaganda that is being posted around, there is plenty of hatred and fear among your masters. Thank you!
Where ? It's simple. In two years from now. Moore's law works.
With non-removable Windows and UEFI BIOS for ARM -- maybe. Most hardware manufacturers are completely clueless about people who use development boards.

I disagree. My resume is very flowery, but Microsoft didn't dare to call me ;-)
Chairs, probably.

Solution: nuke "western nuclear powers" (after evacuating Iran that "western nuclear powers" will then nuke in response).
"Cost" in money is irrelevant when you have a truly sovereign country (or at least one that doesn't have to buy everything from large American companies).
Cost in time, number of people, and depletion of natural resources, is far lower for nuclear energy than for anything else.
But nuclear energy presents its own dangers
Yeah, like being invaded by some American shitheads.
More like bought accounts.

Why all Microsoft shills have 6-digit IDs?
^^ The guy who wrote Stuxnet.
Does anyone code for fun after they leave moms basement ?
I do.
Now go, kill yourself.
That's a new kind of Microsoft shill. Atleast they are trying.

In US officials' language "civil liberties" means "something that we claim, our enemies disrespect when we want to attack them".

As I said, give it up, hairyfeet, you are not fooling anyone.
Yeah, because windows n00bs all ask about device drivers for iPhone accessories or insist on running Windows on their Sony TVs.

You are a jingoistic moron of the highest degree possible.
