American innovation is in trouble
By Fareed Zakaria
If you ask people in Silicon Valley what makes it work, they will talk about many things — the ability to fail, the lack of hierarchy, the culture of competition. One thing almost no one mentions is the government. And yet, the Valley’s origins are deeply tied to government support. The reason there were so many engineers in California in the 1950s and 1960s was because large defense companies had attracted them there. Most of the legendary start-ups that fueled the computer revolution — Fairchild Semiconductor, Intel — got off the ground largely because the military, and later NASA, would buy their products until they became cheap and accessible enough for the broader commercial market. GPS, the technology that now powers the information revolution, was developed for the military.
And then there was government funding for research, which is sometimes thought of simply as large grants to universities for basic science but often was far more ingenious. My favorite example comes from Walter Isaacson’s fascinating new book, “The Innovators.” In the 1950s, the U.S. government funded a massive project at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory, employing equal numbers of psychologists and engineers who worked together to find ways “that humans could interact more intuitively with computers and information could be presented with a friendlier interface.” Isaacson traces how this project led directly to the user-friendly computer screens of today as well as ARPANET, the precursor of the Internet.
Federal funding for basic research and technology should be utterly uncontroversial. It has been one of the greatest investments in human history. And yet it has fallen to its lowest level as a percentage of GDP in four decades.

We need a new late shift here. The one we have has gone rotten.

New York, NY, is too cold today for Old Folks to leave home without the certainty of getting into a car very quickly.,
Sheesh. I guess everyone is sleeping in today.
I had thought that many of my longer submissions were rejected because I have some conservative opinions that are unpopular or seldom stated here's.
Here. Pas "here's."

Oh! Hey Joey. I think it's just lazy people who get really bored. Men living with their own mothers and stuff.
I think that the Censor rejects most comments of length sufficient to contain defense of viewpoint.
@ Philip:
I doubt that I could have resided in the same building containing my mother's separate apartment after I fled at the age of eighteen.
Ce est pourquoi je ai quitté la maison quand je avais 15 ans avec mes parents heureux d'être débarrassés de moi
Bon Matin Joey . Je pense que ce sont des gens paresseux qui obtiennent vraiment ennuyé . Les hommes qui vivent avec leurs propres mères par
Bravo la langue. Philip. Bien dit.
Now please to speak English, so I can it learn.
There is no such thing as a master of the English language. It's that confusing.
Vous, les Américains ne ont jamais rembourser le Banc de la France pour le financement de la Révolution pour vous! Vous mauvais garçons
Lmao. You don't even need a translator for that one. Money. The international language.
Tu as tort, Philip.
"All you need is love."
Pas d'argent.
oui oui. And balloons. Don't forget balloons.
That quote was, je crois, from the Beatles, who were known for their vows of poverty.
@JIF: *snerk*
Il est plus froid que la mésange d'une sorcière dans un soutien-gorge de fer caste ici
It's colder than a witch's ti t in a caste iron bra here.
L'argent est une protection , dit la Bible . Quelque chose de pas de jalonner votre avenir sur . Quelque chose à vous et votre famille et peut-être une personne dans le besoin de protéger ainsi . Bien qu'il peut être et est et a été une racine de toutes sortes de mauvaises
For those without a Google Translator...
Money is for a protection, says your bible. Not something to stake your future on. Something to protect you and your family and perhaps a needy person as well. Though it can and is and has been a root of all sorts of bad things.
Ah bon?
Oui. Vraiment . L'argent sera un jour devenir sans valeur . Les gens vont être jeter dans les rues dit la prophétie biblique. Déjà inflation et banquiers véreux grignotent à elle .
My phone has to be wrong; it says it's 52 degrees in CS. That cannot be right.
"Smart" phone, indeed.
It's 27 degrees right now. A heat wave compared to yesterday morning.
I'd take 27 at this point; it's -4 where I'm at.
I believe that Chicago is cold almost every day! My close friend who lived there most of his adult life will not go back.
In Chicago, I feel on a street at 18 and learned instantly how to walk on that city's eternal ice.
Careful @ banasy!
Chicago gives me the chills on a hot summer day.
It depends on which part of Chicago one is in; lakefront tends to be colder in the summer, yet warmer in the winter.
But, I swear, one can cross the street and get another season.
Chicago isn't for the timid, this is for sure.
Most large cities aren't.
Yet, when I moved to Chicago, I worshiped the cold weather, as it was my freedom from Mississippi.
I was eighteen..."ah yes, I remember it well."
Who are you? Are you the nurse?

· Top 10 Poorest States:

2. Arkansas – Republican
3. Tennessee -Republican
4. Oklahoma – Republican
5. Louisiana -Republican
6. Montana – Republican
7. South Carolina -Republican
8. Kentucky – Republican
9. Alabama – Republican
10. West Virginia – Republican/Democrat – leansmore Republican
LMAO. Mississippi and Arkansas are about as republican as Arnold Governator and Ronnie Raygun were.
Ronald Reagan was one of our greatest presidents.
Arnold is, perhaps, the greatest bodybuilder of all time. I was fortunate enough to work out near - not with – him several times, and it was an inspiration.
Arnold knocked me over downtown whilst jogging; he helped me up and apologized.
He was there filming of "True Lies", although he was jogging on his own time; it was like running into a brick wall.
Filming had to be delayed many times during Arnoild's last 6 movies. Brain damage caused by his use of steroids for so many years made it very difficult for him to remember his simple lines. The GOP wrote him simpler scripts when he became ACTING governor.
Ronnie Raygun was a lifelong democrat. A Hollywood actor. He was only acting like a republican, Joey. The big boys are all puppets you should know by now.
...and Frank Zane was the greatest bodybuilder of all time. Arnold Swharzawhatever looks like a big dumb hick standing next to Zane.
Mississippi?
Oui. Je le connais bien.
Mississippi is the most overly obese state on planet earth. With the highest per-capita welfare rate. Those ain't republicans.
Innovation is key to the evolution of mankind not biologically but scientifically. Cloning is unacceptable while cure for cancer lingers.
However, innovation is not a pressing issue in the world today. There are others. Here is one topmost in my list.
The existing geo-political paradigm has failed. Poverty, schisms, conflicts, democratic demise is prevalent and the world is a divided place. We need change. Change from status quo. Change from the UN system. Change from current superpower imbalance and ineffectiveness. In this context, everything else becomes redundant and irrelevant.
So Fareed please focus on blogging on how the lingering issues in the world are going to be solved.
The cure for the common cold lingers you numbskull. And we have changed. It didn't work. This system is crumbling down and nothing can save it. That's how corrupt it has become.
BS
How do you know that cloning may not be the cure for cancer?
How do you know that the US Congress funded Viral Cancer Research Project of 1964-1979 didn't splice chimpanzee genes into the NAZI made AIDS virus to make it look like AIDS came from Africa?
We were warned
"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."
-Barry Goldwater
Calm down. Organized religion is going to be outlawed by all of the world's powerful governments. Just hold on a little while longer.
Governments with very large armies no longer need organized religions to preach their children onto the battlefield. Unemployment rates remain high and so million clamor to join armies just to have a job, and of course, fight for God&Country no matter which country one happened to be born in.
And it's a no brainer that church leaders and orgs didn't become super-rich by way of non-profit activities. The NSA has their number. Religious orgs are going DOWN.
State 2012 Presidential Election Governor State Senate House
Mississippi Republican Republican Republican 30-22 Republican 66-56
I was talking about the population of Mississippi and Arkansas. Not their handful of state officials. Those are fat lazy people living off of welfare for decades. Not republicans. Most of them never voted for anything until Obama ran for president. Then they all voted.
Their state officials are elected by who then ? And the state predominately voted republican in the last presidential election. There is such a thing as republican welfare recipients.
Elected by voters. But like I said. Most people on welfare don't vote. Heck. Most people don't vote period. Sheesh. Get a clue.
Last I checked this was a blog on innovation not the weather channel.
Hey guys are you jobless? Wasting time here talking nonsense.
Ths the info Bo. Will pass it along. See ya later.
Thanks for the info, rather.
Cute, your jobless question.
Last night I was in a (tense) rehearsal until very late on a very cold night. Fortunately, they had sent a car for me.
I am off today, but then not for the net four days of absurdly long hours and travel.

"I think it good to drop State lawsuit vs. ENRON." OK. Now you try, Arnold.
It good I think drop suits....wait. I got it. Think ENRON good...
CUT!!! CUT!!! Take a break Arnold. Take 5 everyone.
A lot of you don't know this but ENRON ripped US off for about 1/2 trillion dollars and used stolen funds to upgrade India's power grid. And are currently charging Indian citizens 3-5 times more than originally agreed upon. ENRON did the same thing to California years ago. I was living in an average 2 bedroom apartment paying over $1000 per month for electricity in San Diego at the time.
...and one of Armload Scharzawhatever's first acts...as in ACTING as governor, was to drop California's long-standing 100 billion dollar lawsuit vs. ENRON.
Folks. Your leaders are crooked. You need to understand that.
Bill Clinton would have knocked you over and dry humped you apologetically. he he
Sure, Philip. Eyeroll.
What makes you think Billbo wouldn't have humped you as if some Monica?
Because I was on a public sidewalk?
Because I'm not stupid or dazzled by politicians?
Because my personal anecdote didn't involve BC?
This is one reason I don't tell you things; because they get subverted into some sort of perverted history lesson.
Public sidewalks are not above Oval Office desk in spite of what you say.
I didn't say they were, in spite of what you implied.
I don't have any idea why you would even correlate the two as being remotely similar.
That's because you are an average American housewife. Stupid. And bored and lonely.
