I think your 100% correct.
The U.S. will soon lose its over powering military force by doing one of the following:
1. It will be reduced by U.S. slowing its tech development in relation to the rest of the world. For example, U.S. puts out 60k engineers per year while 30k are U.S. born, and China and India have 300k each. U.S. tech advantage will be small enough in 5-10 years that India and China will become real military competitors, and exceed the U.S. in 20-25 years.
2. The U.S. will use all of its military power to keep what it has by taking out Iran, North Korea, and all other non-Democractic countries and making OPEC its bitch starting with Iraq. Since Democractic countries have a hard time fighting long wars they will make sure that even with inferior military power they can control things with the Green back. Well, until another dictator pops up and starts clobbering everyone, but they don't seem to care.
To bad it's already to late to stop the train. If I ran things I would reduce taxation, Stop redistribution of wealth, Reduce regulation, and other things to give the U.S. science, math, and engineering people a chance to make real money like Indian Computer Scientist. Oh well. South America is looking pretty good right now.
Can you say Propane. Their housing sucks for 90% of the country, but 10% live like U.S. citizens making 50k in Dallas. On $15/day for most of India you can live like a U.S. citizen. For $25/day you can live like a CEO in most of India.
20k is not ~50k in India.
20k is 120k in India on average.
They are doing better than U.S. engineers during the so-called boom. Although, if you buy expensive imports then it may turn into ~50k, but if you like curry and by cheap products you can live like a king. Products like cars, washers, dryers, and such are expensive but they don't buy that stuff. Just stick to what the locals buy and an few extras like extra propane for power, a home computer, and internet connection.
In the USA >$10/hr is hard to get now days unless you work for a union or corp/government. Most businesses in the USA are small. Average incomes are down for 30+ of the last 35 years when adjusted for inflation. www.bls.org
This week 5 jobs in the whole IT section for Dallas Morning News. Wow that's 5 jobs for 20,000+ unemployeed IT workers in DFW. So if you make it to India you can make 22k a year and live great on $15/day. So your wrong, false government exchange rates are pushing U.S. citizens out.
Maybe we should outsource the USA to India to save cost. That way Walmart prices will go down 90%. Although, income for the US citizens would go down 95%. Well at least the IT industry and manufacturing would not be unemployed by themselves.
I think the Indian and Chinese moon missions will cost just as much the Apollo moon missions after adjusting for false exchange rates and reduced technology cost.
When will US citizens with engineering, science, and manufacturing skills have increasing incomes?
I have a feeling the USA will not occupy Mars until then, and will it be too late?
I.E. will China, EU, and/or India claim Mars before we can?
Or will it be like the Antartica under a multi country treaty?
Will it have its own government?
Like people get paid in the US for developing software anymore.
If your not a lone coder or starving your a chump of government controlled exchange rates.
Tetris was a special case with many legal battles on many sides. Game engines are usually patented, but obviously not the game since it is mainly presentation.
I have written a couple of simple games and the do have a great retail market. The problem is marketing, game complexity, and shelf space cost are now > 10 million for a game. I have created J2ME games for cell phones, but unless you live in a country with government controlled exchange rates like India you can't make any money there either. I think the best thing is a whole bunch of small games that are free and sell adverts with them. Don't waste your time making a big game unless you want to give it away to a publisher for almost nothing.
The Silver Rule Is Sell A Product Yourself And Don't Compete With The Golden Rulers.
The Golden Rule The One With The Gold Makes The Rules.
So stay low and pick off corporates piece by piece with retail style niche market products.
But that would defeat the purpose of being a lone coder. Some people don't want to grow to a monolithic monstrosity like M$. Some people like to code.
Sure you can make money as lone coder, but you must provide a whole lot more work than say someone working at the DMV.
I have 70,000+ lines of code, and I can't make anything from it because I don't want to whore out my $3,000,000 dollars worth of code for $300,000. As a result of the insane cost of living in the US in relation to an Indian I must work several times as long to get the same standard of living and leaving would throw everything I currently own out the window. Why would I want to work for less than a lazy government employee that produces nothing. All my code is closed source, because it is well written.
If you want to grow something just become an MBA and find some sucker programmer willing to work for 22k in India and starve people like me to death.
Some people just like writing code, and don't want to screw with the business part. Since no jobs exist in the US for real Computer Scientist (except with the government) you don't have much choice right now.
So unless you like running a business or being a Fascist your screwed. Although, loner business people can make a ton of money at the moment.
Most likely laser communications will be used between planetary objects, and then transmitted at the lower end of the wavelength like Wi-Fi, TV, and radio. Lasers are great for point to point communications over a long distance. Can you image a wide beam laser burning a hole in our atmosphere continiously.
"On average, goods in India, barring housing and cars, cost only 20% (or less) of what it costs here in USA."
Not true. Even the World Bank puts it at 1/5. Which is also untrue. They include expensive imports in their figures that most people don't purchase. It ranges between 1/2-1/15 depending on where you live, and excluding expensive imports for the poor. The average is 1/5 now, and only a few years ago it was 1/7. I base my data on corrected World Bank cost of living estimates.
Funny. I have a hard time finding good employers. My grandpa had 1 career job and 1 pre career job. My dad had 11 jobs before he started his own business at 42. I have had 13+ jobs and never been fired before I started my own business at 26. I think the job descriptions for IT jobs in the U.S. are insane. Just compare them to the Indian IT job descriptions. Fascism is rampant in the U.S. I suggest all U.S. techies to make a stand and fight the slave labor elitist thugs.
6-8 of.NET Development
That's not possible..NET was not even available for until 2000 and most didn't adopt it until 2002.
LOL. A bunch of idiots looking for a person that owns a time machine.
Yea, I would pay someone 80-100k as long as I can use their time machine.
Fascist Idiots
That just plain sucks. It's funny how much political propaganda there is right now. I'm was a Texan Libertarian. I don't think the Democrats or Republicans will do anything to fix the situation. They are populist. They don't want to anger the mob. So they screw over about a million people to subdue the rest with low cost imports. I would like to see equal trade, but you just can't always have what's fair. It will be a while until world wages go up, but the future is clear. They can't outsource where people don't exist, and they are running out of places to send jobs. In 20-30 years the value of the dollar will drop in value and some jobs will start coming back. When that happens incomes will start going up again. Yea I know that leaves several generations that will live with ever lowering expectations, but that's what you get with Democracy (rule by mob). The alternatives are usually worse (Evil - Dictators, Kings, Monarchs, and Nobels/Elites). Although, I think it is time for an new alternative like a true Constitutional Democracy where a computer program evaluates a law instead of the supreme court. So no matter how the people change the constitution won't without an amendment. Now more Nexus. No more Coast Guard = 2nd. No more freedom of speech != freedom of speech.
Could it be that he is working so hard that no updates are required. Since he may not have had time to learn new skills. Or maybe he is very depressed and tired of updating a worthless resume like mine at http://www.allbinary.com/resume.htm
Yea we all know you should update your twelve different resumes every 30 days.
Like I would work for a bunch of Nazis that are unable to enforce equal trade (non-government set exchange rates) with other countries. Only Fascist work for the U.S. government now. Like a security clearance means anything more than approving of Fascism. Kiss my freedom loving white male ass Fascist Thugs.
The government claimed I was a terrorist.
I am not a terrorist. I was acquitted, but my life was destroyed in the process.
More Details:
I spoke my mind and applied for an FFL (Federal Firearms License). They failed approve or deny my application in accordance to their regulations. They charged me for complaining (spam) and selling firearms without a license. They lost. They lied to several judges to get what they wanted, and still lost. I worked within their regulations and protested the government. It has been over two years yet they still have not approved or denied the application within 60 days as required. They instead continue to harass me despite being acquitted. They have ran me out of money, jobs, and home (apartment). They are relentless in their pursuit to kill me off through their transfer of wealth.
If you want more fucking details email me or ask for the records yourself you idiot peasant.
I believe both the left and the right are to blame. It's like Affirmative action versus Child Tax Credits. If you are a single white male your screwed either way. I don't like government intervention in the family, bedroom, bathroom, or anywhere beyond what is specified in article 1 section 8. I'm sorry your children were taken. Although, you only fuel the engines of the liberal and conservative Nazis by playing their rules.
Because shoes can be created with robots, and IT jobs pay well.
I personally did complain, and voted for idiot Perot to stop outsourcing. I think false exchange rates suck. It's a rich mans trick to drive wages down.
I don't think you're paranoid. I suggest you and your friend stop doing what they don't like, or they will continue coming after you. Sadly I wish I could trade places with you. They were doing things like that to me before I was 10.
The solution is simple. Stop learning. Get a labor job since thinking is not allowed for you or your friend. It's that simple. I did this for 2 years, and they left me alone for the most part (beyond just checking up on me). Although, I just couldn't give up my ambition of making good money becoming an enginneer. Apparently they are okay with lib/art, business, and other fluf learners. Oddly they don't like Computer, Science, Engineering, or thinking types that actually think. So if your a sys admin or something don't worry they will eventually stop, but if your a freelance researcher or something consider yourself dead. They are more scared of you than you are of them. Really.

So much for the 10th amendment. Internet isn't even in the constitution. It it's not between states then they can't touch it.
