Open Source Solution

The problem is that we need the Open Source model. But open source is guaranteed to decimate for profit solutions. Our school system (public and private) will need to be re-evaluated to use the Moodle, because Moodle will quickly replace current class systems.

The class model has already become a babysitting service. Education is secondary. Education money needs to be pushed into these new models. A DARPA model of how to directly fund these projects to their needs. If a open source project can gain funding from the government, the government can set goals and maintenance needs.

For HPC standardization is a requirement. I need to rest.

Debt vs. GDP

I just heard on Bloomberg TV that the tipping point for an economy is the debt of a country reaching 90% of their GDP. We are quickly approaching this threshold.

I would like to know how much U.S. debt, China sold off. Yesterday on Bloomberg, China sold US bonds to a level that they are no longer the primary U.S. debt holder. China sold 34b dollars of U.S. debt.

Now on Bloomberg, they just said that Greece is at 12% of GDP. The U.S. is at 10% of GDP. Confusing, Very Confusing.

Define GDP using wiki: GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + (Exports - Imports)
OR
GDP=C+In+G+(E-I)

The sales of debt is good for America. No longer is China the largest debt holder of U.S. Debt. Japan is.

Gold (Specific Gravity) Standard

I have read in several places that there is a concern over counterfeit gold bars. This is the reason we are not on the Gold Standard. We cannot place the economy in the hands of gold.

If the value of gold is reduced because of a fear that it is not pure, then we will see a crash of everything. It must be well understood by the participants, that the economy is based on their production, not on the value of gold.

In order to have a stable long term economy we must reduce the value of gold. The only way to do this is Full employment. There must be an appearance that everyone is working on innovation. This must return infrastructure to all. The return of infrastructure is the only measure of innovation and pride.

There will be a point where it cost less to counterfeit the gold then it cost to maintain the stability. Then the value will crash. If the value crashes then there will be a loss of confidence in all governments and all systems.

Massive employment can be deployed without conflict by following Article 1 Section 2 Clause 3 1:30000 representation would almost instantly cause full employment. This will also provide the infrastructure to reduce error in the government. This will provide security, transparency, and redundancy. This level of representation would reduce cost, increase standardization and demand innovation. This level of representation is brilliant.

This is a choice. The next problem in our economy is gold. The only solution is full employment.

Open Source disaster

Open source is causing a rip in our economy. It destroyed Sun Microsystems. The moment things become free, they have no value. If they have no value, then there is no reason to support them. There are mature systems that are essentially free.

Over time we will lose quality from a lack of people getting paid to develop open source systems.

Open source needs to be tied to paying developers before shareholders. Just because many developers designed and built these complex systems does not mean they should not be paid for their contribution.

The lesson learned from Sun was; Don't pay for something that is free. And do not open source your private work. Here is the rub, how do you pay for development into new technology if the open source model is not available.

Larry Ellison did the right thing. He was able to communicate this to the EU is a way that they understood it. He protected our world's society. If we had lost Sun, we could have crashed.

We cannot rely on necessity and innovation, planning must be involved.

It should be understood that Sun, IBM, Cisco, AMD, Intel, Google... need to immediately expand to develop the next level system. There needs to be further development and expansion of the system. This does not mean management. It means development and protection.

Innovation centers must be funded. Management centers need to be defunded. Management has been removed by current tools. It takes a few people to manage a large network of innovators. Sales has essentially been removed by the same tools.

Economic disaster system avoidance

There are several issues I have with the state of our economy. These issues should be taken seriously. These are as serious as missile defense or terrorism.

Our complex system has several weak spots, that if exploited would be disastrous. Tools need to be designed to make it impossible for there to be another serious bubble/attack. These are system level tools.

This site should be restricted. The ideas listed here are dangerous. It must be understood that these ideas are written to warn of possible attack on the world economic system. These are disaster level problems that need to be addressed or they can be used by terrorists. Everyone should be concerned about these issues. We must design safety systems to avoid these system level failures. In order to do this the problem needs to be described.

I was able to describe the real estate bubble/burst to several people before the event. I was able to describe the damage that would be caused by such an event. I wish to describe; first the problems, then the solutions.

The system is complex and so are the solutions.
