Proven? Prove it ...

US has had a trade deficit going on 4 decades ... the US has never been the charitable one in this game.

Labour at zero cost is a scarce resource, that doesn't preclude jobs above subsistence cost being scarce too ...

Why would the bosses hand out Jetson's job to lots of different people working 5 hours for 2 days out of the week ... much more efficient to have someone there longer, less shift hand overs means less room for mistakes. Unless the law demands it, the jobs won't be spread out across the entire population.

Labour can't pull itself up by the bootstraps either, since natural resources ARE scarce ... there is no more land to homestead.

That depends if it's rgb or ycm, rgb has low max brightness/contrast (more grey than white) without active lighting ... but ycm might have trouble with viewing angles (it's hard to say no one has demonstrated one yet).

That said, they have a youtube clip showing a rgb display playing a pokemon cartoon and with the right lighting and content even rgb can look amazing ... but not good enough to displace black and white for text.

They also get richer despite the taxes ... which is unsustainable in a non growing economy.

Mobility is irrelevant, they are capitalists ... not the middle class engineers and entrepreneurs which a country really needs to sustain a standard of living. The ultra-rich have an extremely inflated sense of import, them leaving the country is not a brain drain. Them leaving and being allowed to take away profits on domestic capital to foreign countries year after year with negligible taxation ... that is the problem.

It's quite easy to structure taxation such that the only thing they can with them is their brains and some fixed assets which won't affect the current account balance year after year though ... at which point losing them becomes entirely irrelevant, hell it becomes a net benefit.

Not necessarily forms of taxation the WTO agrees with though ...

Except hind sight poisons the opinion in the eyes of the law and is thus rendered entirely irrelevant.

Why do you consider your opinion relevant? The current patent system presupposes that legitimacy can be objectively determinable by lawyers following a set of rules after all.

What rare earth metal is used in traditional Poly-Si solar cells?

Only fast reactors can get reasonable burn rates ... MOX is a dangerous scam, fuel is only reprocessed once and hardly impacts waste at all.

Unfortunately fast reactors currently do not quite have the safety record of water moderated reactors ... it's certainly an avenue to explore, but don't hold your breath. Maybe liquid sodium or molten salt reactors can be made to work well, or maybe the percentage of Monju's will be entirely unacceptable.

They already have huge losses from skimming to make them care about security, it was probably an inside job ... they usually are.

Dunno if that level of self motivation is necessary a good thing for a large company, for which it's impossible to really bind employees emotionally ... seems to me self motivated people will also be more motivated to search out opportunities and jump ship faster.

If you make the radiator hot enough it can dissipate whatever wattage you want ... that said, there might be some practical problems with that.

If cooling the system at peak power consumption isn't an option you might be able to store the gaseous helium for a while in a balloon before cooling. So at the start you just vent like they did now, once the helium almost runs out you go into a low duty cycle operation where you dump expanded helium in the balloon during operation and then slowly recover it ... this way the cooling system can work at much lower wattage.

It is pretty much 100% certain at this point that THz radiation can selectively activate genes ... it interacts with DNA. Whether there are carcinogenic effects is a bit contested, but the gene activation in and of itself is scary enough to wait a little fucking longer before we make all the airline passengers (except VIPs I'm sure) guinea pigs.

You clearly don't have enough confidence in your short term ability to avoid tail risk to convert in long term magical driving abilities.

Ditching design, software and method patents entirely would be a good start ... nothing good has ever come out of their protection.
