Shouldn't that be illegal?

Depends

If you are a college graduate who has invested tens of thousands of dollars into education and is expecting a return on that investment, if some businessman can get those skills cheaper overseas, its just good business.

If you are some business who has invested tens of thousands of dollars developing some product and is expecting a return on that investment and someone can bypass that and simply download the work from an overseas server, that is copyright violation, violation of patent, or some other way of saying "theft" and is verboten.

It just depends on how big you are and your relationship with the government on whether this action demonstrates "good business skills" or is considered "theft". Its really a fine line; I often cannot tell which side of it to be on myself, as I know that the game is rigged, and trying to be an honest player is a sure way to lose.

My personal ethics and the reality of my environment are usually at odds with each other big-time on these issues, which is why I have done my damndest to "drop out" of it. Doing science is what I feel I was borned to do, but putting up with the politics of the management classes goes against damned near everything I hold true.

I'm already seeing ads for managers offering to sell me this information.

I'm not sure you realize that it's already being marketed, not "will be" marketed.

I think you don't get how genetics works.

Various biochemical pathways are conserved, and are there to react to different environmental conditions.

Disease is a moving target. As we suppress one disease, another takes its niche.

In most cases we only know the primary biochemical pathway, have sparse information on the secondary biochemical pathway which kicks in when the primary pathway is disrupted, and have little to no information on the evolutionarily conserved tertiary biochemical pathway we inherited from fish or dinosaurs.

Making "designer" kids leads us to less genetic diversity, and less adaptive capacity as a species to stressors which will occur.

That plus in most cases we end up with too many males and not enough females when we let people "choose".

More free skeet targets.

If you want your robot back, don't send it over my airspace.

No, there is a growing move to outsource Lawyer jobs too.

There are a few nations that provide the bulk of H1-B "workers".

Look at job ads in those locations - those are the people that will replace the US workers.

I'm pretty sure it was written by different people than it claims.

Also, two creation myths? Seriously, how does that hold up?

And this whole Noah and the Ark thing sounds kind of fishy to me. Let alone that guy who survived inside a whale.

Getting a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering, and I'm going to be a professor in British Columbia, work one semester a year, and travel around the world on consulting jobs to pay for airfare.

I don't actually have to work past 65, I should have plenty of money, but in my family we live a long time (100 or more years) and I'd be bored otherwise.

It's not for the health care, as a Canadian Citizen I get that when I get older, a lot cheaper than the US Medicare I also qualify for, but more contributing to the communities in the Kootenay region of BC that I grew up in. Should be fun!

Plus, lots of skiing and fishing. I'll probably only go on the double black diamond runs.

Oh, wait, isn't the energy density and storage ratio far lower than compressed air?

The original IPCC scientific report stated that 70 percent of the climate change emissions were coming from just 10 countries, of which two of the largest were the US and China.

But they removed that, because then those countries might have to actually change their behavior and stop shipping US coal to China.

Hey if you can't destroy Central African countries for rare earths, what good is life?

If you go to the University of Washington website and check today's news, you'll see a UW scientist developed an app so you can use your cell phone as a microscope.

It's an app.

You don't have to kill trees.

oh, and we did have the Internet back then, I was using ARPA*NET at Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia. We had 110 baud modems and I think UBC had 300 baud.

So the Internet did exist, at least for those of us in Computer Science, Math, and Science.

The Science Fiction stories I wrote back then are fairly correct in terms of what 2020 would look like.

I had the planet suffering from technological disasters that had people working as serfs to heartless corporations, and never-ending war machines, with a planet that was heating up so much that plans to colonize Antarctica were underway.

My only incorrect guess was that fusion power would exist for slow multi-generation interplanetary spaceships sent to the moons of Jupiter.

Fusion is always 20 years in the future. Has been since I was born. Still is today.
