1.News of the dayAll your changes are belong to us!
Woot! Imagine going to the bank and cash it out all these coins...I mean 17 tons of colonial-era silver and gold coins. Just imagine!
500million from the middle of no where deep in the Atlantic ocean.
The Black Swan coins...don't tell anyone where it is!
I am sure the world will find out soon though...
2.Quote of the day
"So there will be winners and losers. The bad news is that you, the ordinary, middle-class employees of the west, will be losers and everybody else will be winners. But the good news is, your sacrifice will make poverty history."
-Article, "Profits of Doom", Financial Times, Oct 2006
3.Article of the day
The world is flat, but not so fat for you!
This is not a joke, its happening and I have to think of a way to survive. With the rise of Asia's white collar class, development of the Automation, and Abundance of the materials, it created a perfect storm to the current white collar class culture in the west.
If I can hire 2 phDs, 4 Masters, 8 undergraduates from Asia with the price of 1 big fat American, why the hell should I hire you?
If you read the powerpoint below, 25% of the highest IQ in China is more than the total population of the North America continent...so its completely possible.
That means...we gotta find something that can't be outsourced and highly in demand.
Eg. Prostitution(ok thats just not right...), Home renovation, Plumbing, Artistic Design, anything that uses your RIGHT brain instead of the LEFT...
Or thats just my wishful thinking.
4.Video of the day
The BEST powerpoint in the world
The stats are stunning and I have nothing to say but this:
"你所有的工作都是屬于我們的!"
"All your jobs are belong to us!"

6 years to go! Look forward to the super computer. Then we can go to hell.
Its just a prediction...it may come SOONER! O.o
OMG! Soooo, even worseeeeee!
hm... this is interesting. but i think we also have to take into account that how willing the people is to accept FOBs from China/India... but i wouldn't doubt that human labor would be outsourced by whatever-it-is one day... and this is pretty terrifying... something that's valuable yet not many people can do.
that's why we need art =)
The world is flat...and we are not gonna be so fat soon cause tons of smart and poor people are getting our white collar jobs...
Gotta find something that is non outsourceable and depend a lot on creativity instead of pure process work cause...its only gonna get worse...
I hope I am wrong.
