Limiting immigration should drive down wages. Consider each worker as an individual business. Now, if you say that businesses Juan, Mick, John, Bill, and Mary cannot trade the product of their labor freely in any country, and businesses HP, IBM, M$, and Oracle can all trade the product of that same labor freely, then the trade is going to happen. But businesses HP, IBM, M$, and Oracle are going to take a cut of Juan, Mick, John, Bill, and Mary's product as they trade it to the restricted areas.
And HP, IBM, M$, and Oracle will make a profit selling Juan's product in Mary's hometown, and they will make a profit selling Mary's product in Juan's hometown.
And thus, the wages of Juan and Mary are going to nosedive.
Same goes for Bill, John, and the others.
Which you are seeing.
Now, if Juan secretly goes and sells his product illegally, he'll profit from that -- but drive John, Mary, Bill, and the others even deeper in the hole. So you'll also see an empowerment of criminal behavior, mostly because of an abandonment of the concept of Rule of Law [which means that laws are like traffic guides, not designed to benefit one and hurt another.]
Let's see... up here in Hampton Roads, concrete tends to be about $100 / cu. yard. Prestressed concrete [good for tornados as well as hurricanes] tends to be about $300/yd for piles, up to $750/yard for girders, up to $800+ for specialty tiny jobs.
But if you can make something as simple as the piles -- using simple round spiral for its reinforcing, the prestressed concrete could be cheap. I'd say, 6" x 24" [or 30"] slabs with 1/2" prestress cables, and.315 steel spiral with 2" of coverage, with minor embedments, should be able to go for about $400 / yard, or about $20/foot. So a 30'x30' 2-story house would have 12 slabs per side, say 15' tall... about $15000 for its vertical structure. Then the roof needs to be anchored on, but that's doable too. Then, of course, you need the horizontal members, so let's just say you have to spend about $30k for all the prestressed members. You need to rent a cherry picker crane for $2000 to erect it, and you need the skilled labor [another $2000]. Then you can build the rest of the house out of wood, if you like.
I'd say it's doable. Whether it's cheap enough, who knows.
Okay, and can you actually go there? When I moved to Lithuania, it was possible to go there [and they do have a small standing army, mostly let out to the UN] -- but it wasn't possible to go to Belize, for example. I never considered Iceland. But if immigration is not permitted for the person in question, then for him it still doesn't exist.
That doesn't eliminate his right to exist, or his right to dissent.
To say "go to a country that doesn't have one" is disingeneous at best. They don't exist. That shouldn't prevent a person from justly declaring something to be disordered, nor should it be a reason that people should approve of, support, or help disorder [sin].
"The military is comprised of a couple million citizens". No. I am assuming the poster "e buck" is speaking of the US military. The military makes it very clear that its members are slaves: specifically, the property of the U.S. government.
"I doubt that dairy farmers..." there is something to the primary purpose. We are responsible for the primary purpose of our actions, and not responsible for other peoples' misuse.
"Who are you to discriminate"... again, that is the kind of judgement we are specifically called to do. Not to condemn people, but to judge actions, and thus prevent evil, first and foremost by ourselves and our complicity.
"You benefit from the military." That is your judgement, not his. It depends on YOUR definition of benefit, not his. Who are you to decide what is in his benefit?
"...undereducated as to how..." ad hominem. I'd contend that anyone who has the courage to take a stand against the "easy out" populist view, has probably fully educated himself about the counterclaims. I'd be more inclined to think that someone who touts the easy lines, is undereducated. By I might be wrong.
"Certainly the military doesn't have to do overseas missions... " I'd disagree completely. The country that continually gets into wars batters down its economy and its political structure until it has no choice but totalitarianism -- the first of the missions on our own soil [such as the armed drones, eh?]. After that, the economy fails, and the continual wars result in the country losing a war on its own soil. Our overseas missions will directly cause us to not only "do" missions within the state, but lose them there, and watch the complete decimation of our culture.
Read Hayak, "The Road to Serfdom". If you have, and disagree, then I'll respectfully disagree with you.
If you haven't, then you should: you are undereducated.
If you choose not to, then you are undereducated by choice.
Right now, there are digital surveyer total stations out there, but they are incredibly time-intensive. I see no reason for that.
Take a typical digital camera, and take a photo of a 1" grid from several different points... and you should be able to map out the actual angles of each pixel. Either do it with a camera with a fixed lens, or do it at distance, to get what it does at x=inf. focus.
Anyhow, if you take... I have to remember this... something like 11 points, and identify each of them on 7 different pictures, you can positively identify the location of the camera in every photo, and every other location in all the photos, in 3-space.
The person doesn't have to pick the exact spot, either. Subtract off the images in the 16x16 square around each point picked, and run it through a fourier transform, and that'll tell you exactly how far off the person's click was, so that you can then find where the actual matching points are, and translate that to an angle.
All that's left is a scaling factor, and you can pick that off of standard data, like the wheelbase of a 1997 Ford F150 pickup truck.
Doing that, will then allow your program to identify the 3-D position of all points in the photo, thus yielding a highly accurate survey. Errors can help refine the camera's lens-data curve.
Point being, it would make surveying tons faster.
Go out, shoot a few photos with your phone, and send them back for analysis... and get out the survey almost instantly.
Okay, set your cluster to the intensive task of finding a 3-million-bit prime, and provably so.
There's $100k prize for that.
Set it going, and let it run in the background whenever your cluster isn't otherwise engaged.
At some point, it may pay off.
If you want some tips on things that can help your cluster find the answer, I might be able to discuss some prime-number factoids that could be helpful.
Here's one:
y = atan2[sin^2[pi*x] * PRODUCT{N=1..x} (x-N) , (x-1) * PRODUCT{N=1..x}(sin(pi*x/N)))
Zero with zero slope on every prime, zero with infinite slope on every perfect square, and PI/2 or -PI/2 on every other point.
There's other tips as well.
Re the publishing bit. Okay, that's not how you do it. You find the author of a pretty good textbook without a study guide -- or one with a study guide that you think you can improve on.
Then you (a) make up some samples of how you could improve on it (b) use that particular textbook for your classes, (c) talk to the publisher about improving on it. They will arrange for you to get with the author, and hear what he thinks. Then, if all goes well, you'll start making the next study guide text [or parts of it].
About that time, you find someone -- a student, a secretary, or a grad, who would be willing to proof/type/layout your draft. You have *them* arrange with the *publisher*, for the publisher to pay them for their work. Then you had your drafts to them, and they produce the camera-ready-copy.
I know this is how it works -- I did it for about 10 years (as the proof/typing/layout person).
The textbooks included the Gordon study guides to the Serway Physics text (Saunders College Publishing / Harcourt Brace), and then various other lab manuals and study guides.
With an MS, you can teach at a community college. A lot of the students there are really trying to learn. A lot of them are among the smartest you could hope for (my roommate 23 years ago was a computer engineer who graduated near the top of his class at VPI... who did 2 years at a community college, and then 2 years at VPI. Now he has a PhD.)
Arguably the job teaching at a community college is better than that at a 4 year institution, especially if you use your time for such things as textbook / study guide creation.
You write the handwritten pages and sketches, and let the publishing company pay for a person to do the compositing / typing / proofing / photoready copy, and you can do quite well.
With too much sun(>10 hours) , potatos yield seed instead of tubers. Specifically, they flower and die. Brightening the sky would also increase the effective day length, destroying the staple crop of much of the world's poor.
I think there is a huge arrogance popping its head up again.
(1) Passwords you have to change: Base it on a song you like, and work through the song. Change enough characters to numbers, and pick capitalization, to make it meet the policy.
(2) Key codes (pins). Start by making a story up that describes the motion of your hand. Your hand will quickly memorize the pattern on its own... the trick is to get your brain to memorize it before your hand learns it.
(3) Key codes (long codes). Similar story: Make a picture swype, and learn that. Then go through the motion of the swype, right before entering the code. Punch in the keys that your hand would have touched, had it swyped. (That's swype as in Skype, and refers to the Android and perhaps IPOD way of unlocking a phone.)
(4) Long, seldom used passwords. Sorry-- for this one, you're going to have to have a password-encoded wallet, in which you record your seldom-used passwords. Ideally, you won't keep really secure information in such accounts, anyhow, but we know how stupid the information gathering policies are in the US. The alternative, is just don't use such accounts.
Yes, and arguably Canada is far less socialist thatn the United States, and even was drawn into it much the same as Germany drew Austria.
Remember 54-40 or fight in school
Please call the suicide crisis line at 1800-273 Talk. I know someone who took that route, and it is bad all around. And no, I don't think it "made a difference" to those who did the damage. Only to those who were already also hurting beyond belief, and then hurt even more, including her mildly retarded son. Though it isn't the advise those people could give, my only advise is to turn to God and seek his Word and His face. Nobody else is going to have answers on the "why".
My uncle lives up in Toronto, and basically lost his job at the [conservative ] university 15 years ago when he made an incoming conservative candidate appear ridiculous with some well-thught out questions. The candidate was dropped as unviable, but there were repercussions. Point being, Canda has long been hostage to US fascism. What makes you think that publishing vote fraud evidence will result in anything but . . . repercussions?
No, gravity *is* energy. We view it as potential energy, but all energy is carried by particles [up to gravitons, which we are still looking for, but have not found yet].
The energy of gravitational wells has the ability to warp space, as is found in special relativity, and confirmed by experiments.
Now, I am not a physicist either: I have a degree in engineering [and did take physics, and have a family of physicists]. However, I am going to propose that I've long thought that gravity is a by-product of space, and that space is properly viewed as an energetic particle. But I will let you know that that is probably heresy.
The fact is, we don't understand everything about everything, including about physics and energy. But the energy of a black hole is its gravity [or whatever else formed the black hole: spin, charge, or whatnot].
I would think that the SC radius would indicate that relativistic gravity [for want of a better term] does not behave quite the same as classical gravity. Therefore, there will be some different gravitational effects.
Also, there's plenty that's lighter than hydrogen.
There's hydrogen nuclei, for example. There's electrons. There's quarks in that state of being ripped apart from each other, just as a new quark / antiquark pair is forming... which in normal physics would cancel out the old quark, leaving the nucleus intact, except that going down a black hole, the old quark and the new quark are going to get accelerated away from each other, too.
So there's individual quarks going down the black hole, too.
There's light. For the most part, light is lighter than a hydrogen atom.
I have no concept of the question does God want to be God? He is God, and since he defines reality, there is no conflict with reality, and there is no destruction, and there is no wickness.
Okay, since Adam's fall mimiced Lucifer's fall, humanity's basic weakness is for each person to want to be viewed, by themselves and others, as a god: to defend one's self, to control others, to be worshipped by others, and more. That leads to many problems, including rage, murder, theft, and also greed.
The desire to be a god, though, is called wickedness. Because the desire conflicts with reality, it causes great destruction. The financial crash, in the end, is therefore a result of wickedness.
Or, in shorthand, I could accept some inaccuracy and say that greed caused the crash.
And yes, greed HAS been around since time out of mind.
The same is true of crashes.
So the statement actually validates the theorem.
The complexity of the system largel invalidates the scientific method's assumptions, thus greatly limiting the applicability of the reasoning. That is why, for sufficiently complex systems such as economics, psychology, sociology, or theology, other assumptions must be used. That doesn't emean that those who study such things are irrational. It just means that the tools and judgement of results must be different. Alchemy was once also at such a stage-- but today it has advanced to a science(except at the University of Utah).
We need to dig more to the root of the problem. Why is the thought of WMDs so appealing? (and I don't mean to myself, of course. I mean, to everybody Except me.)
