One of the things I've been noticing, as I've been working with young women trying to actually get into IT after high school (relatives and friends, all US citizens), is that all of the programs seem to only care about girls in middle school.
They seem to think that someone with a 2 year AA degree or 4 year Bachelors degree can't become an IT person, and doesn't want to.
This is false. I've known many younger - and even older - women who want to work in IT, in their mid-20s to mid-40s.
You seem not to understand that we don't live in a democracy (one person one vote). We live in a feudal oligarchy with landed serfs who think they live in a democracy.
Your "elected representatives" get most of their money from the oligarchies, not from the citizens.
They tend not to vote for "your" interests.
My point stands - this did not start in 2000 or 2001, this started a long time ago, and was in place by the time Reagan was in power. I can't speak to how long it precedes it, but I know your encryption protocols were backdoored a long time ago.
There is one huge barrier. You cannot 3D print material properties.
I agree, tensile strength and lack of fiber cores is a serious drawback. We're working on tech to 3D print over stronger fiber cores and medical applications using wire mesh frameworks to try to deal with that. May even try bone structure concepts for some of the medical applications.
It really depends on what you 3D print with. If you use a modified spiderweb approach to lay down a support structure it really slows it down a lot right now, but it gives you much better results.
There are two barriers right now - cost of the printer and time to print.
For cost, you just need a Kinkos or OfficeMax or USPS or FedEx store model - where you have an account and have it printed there and you pick it up.
For time, the above model works fairly well.
We actually have quite a few 3D printers on campus and use them for a lot of things, so you can see it moving - you can even print stuff at the UW Bookstore (which also prints books in the public domain of rare editions).
Perhaps, but at the University of Washington, textbooks are sold by the Alumni Association, and have been since they founded the UW Bookstore back about 100 years ago.
Most of what students think of as "the University selling me books" is actually something a student association or other non-profit organization does, at most Universities.
1. Copyrights should be 13 years, assigned to a human person (creator), with 13 year renewals for the lifetime of the human person, and not renewable after that, except when the human person dies before 26 years has passed and has surviving children below adult age. They can be assigned to a corporation during each copyright period (13 years) but not given away.
2. Patents should be 17 years, assigned to a human person (creator), with one 17 year renewal and no extensions, by the human person. They should not include software or business processes and must be non-obvious and not based on prior art.
3. The above two are the only things that matter. All else is legal fiction based on the incorrect legal fiction that corporations, which precede the US Constitution, somehow have any rights other than trade, but are merely collections of ways to reduce risk by human people.

considering what it cost in terms of training, logistics, coordination, surveillance, and equipment to do this, the reward is not very much.
The op itself cost more than that, all those things considered.
Oh, by the way, no, you're not safe.
Ever.
There is no such thing as safety, only living in fear because you want to believe in magic rainbow unicorns.
Everyone knows the best coders are waitresses.
Just because the Earth is hollow and dinosaurs live there, doesn't mean the Sun revolves around the Earth, after all.
Now excuse me, I have to design a method to keep ships from being damaged when they float off the edge of the Earth.

Something is fishy here.
Resistance is futile.

I can't really speak to the period before Reagan, I'm only aware of the stuff during Reagan myself.
My point, though, is that we've never actually abided by the US Constitution, but that we should.
And if that involves jail terms for those in charge, so be it.
We were doing this kind of thing back during Reagan.
The fact that it's coming out now doesn't change that basic fact.
We're serfs, not citizens.
and China and Taiwan and South Korea and places that like massive grants of private funds
It's like you don't get that research gets done no matter what you "say".
Seriously, you're wasting your time.
(not speaking for anyone, just telling you what happens IRL)

People have been living there for thousands of years, with basically the same culture.
Grow a pair and stop whining.

Less efficient for theconsumer.
But more profitable for the Corporations that SCOTUS and Congress work for.
You didn't disagree with my statement, you obscured it with off topic discussion of other taxes that some rich people pay.
I stand by my statement.
The really amazing thing is that one small Borough of London apparently employs over 2300 admin workers.
No wonder our taxes are so high.
Your taxes are high because the Square Mile in London pays no (as in Zero) taxes.
There's your problem.
Go after the giant gaping hole in your budget, not the smaller one that is admin.
Oh, wait, that's a feature.
Never mind.
Exactly. Even if some evidence exists that life on Earth is originally from Mars.
Robots ftw!
We sent people up into space when we thought there was a 50/50 chance they'd die in the process.
It's called "being an astronaut".
Don't like, don't sign up.
Wimps.
not true
back in the day people used to cut entire forests down to burn the wood in the winter time and make land for farming
Um, they did that and caused a giant mud slide just north of Seattle.
See - consequences.
It means you don't understand the difference between climate (observed in decades) and weather (observed in shorter periods).
I've already used some of them to locate Pokemon in my new job as a Pokemon collector.

Here endeth the lesson.
Jail is pretty fun after the first 90 days.
Cool.
Now I can stop licking my pencil nibs, trying to develop super powers.
