Hello,


Read again, i correct a typo about: Eric Schmidt, former boss of Google: the United States has "lost control" on innovation,

China has supplanted the US as the world's leading publisher of science and engineering research


"Indeed in 2008, the United States published 394,979 articles on science and education in journals, ahead of China which published 249,049. Due to its rapid growth rate, China published 528,263 articles in 2019, more than the United States, which published 422,808, reported the GEF. This is significant, because it shows how much China is focused on research and development compared to the United States.

The former Google boss attributes the narrowing of the innovation gap between the United States and China to the lack of funding in the United States. “The United States has been the undisputed leader in R&D throughout my life,” said Dr Schmid. “The funding was the equivalent of about 2% of the country's GDP. Recently, R&D has fallen to a lower percentage than it was before Sputnik, ”he added.

Dr Schmidt also said that the technological supremacy of the United States was also built with international talents who were allowed to work and study in the United States. He is now warning that the United States risks falling further behind if this type of talent is not allowed to enter the country.

“This highly skilled immigration is crucial for US competitiveness, global competitiveness, the creation of these new businesses, etc. He said. "America does not have enough people with these skills."

About USA and the brain's power..

I have just looked at the following video, look at it carefully:

India Is Becoming Its Own Silicon Valley

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHVNWtBuDVk

Look in the above video at how the smartest people of high-tech
in India are talking about USA, since they are saying that they
don't want to come to USA because of Donald Trump(and this is
related to my writing below), and i think what they are saying is that Donald Trump and his followers are racism towards other groups that are not of there white European group, so i think USA has made a big mistake by electing Donald Trump, and i think that Germany and other European
countries have not to make the same mistake as USA, because read my
my following writing to understand why:

More political philosophy about immigration..

I am a white arab, and i think i am smart, since i am an inventor
of many scalable algorithms and there implementations, and today
i will speak about an important subject that is immigration..

Let's look for example at USA, so read the following from Jonathan Wai that is a Ph.D., it says:

"Heiner Rindermann and James Thompson uncovered that the “smart fraction” of a country is quite influential in impacting the performance of that country, for example, its GDP."

And it also says the following:

"“According to recent population estimates, there are about eight Chinese and Indians for every American in the top 1 percent in brains.” But consider that the U.S. benefits from the smart fractions of every other country in the world because it continues to serve as a magnet for brainpower, something that is not even factored into these rankings.

What these rankings clearly show is America is likely still in the lead in terms of brainpower. And this is despite the fact federal funding for educating our smart fraction is currently zero. Everyone seems worried Americans are falling behind, but this is because everyone is focusing on average and below average people. Maybe it’s time we started taking a closer look at the smartest people of our own country."

So as you are noticing it's immigrants(and there are about eight Chinese and Indians for every American in the top 1 percent in brains) that are making USA a rich country.

Why Silicon Valley Wouldn’t Work Without Immigrants

There are many theories for why immigrants find so much success in tech. Many American-born tech workers point out that there is no shortage of American-born employees to fill the roles at many tech companies. Researchers have found that more than enough students graduate from American colleges to fill available tech jobs. Critics of the industry’s friendliness toward immigrants say it comes down to money — that technology companies take advantage of visa programs, like the H-1B system, to get foreign workers at lower prices than they would pay American-born ones.

But if that criticism rings true in some parts of the tech industry, it misses the picture among Silicon Valley’s top companies. One common misperception of Silicon Valley is that it operates like a factory; in that view, tech companies can hire just about anyone from anywhere in the world to fill a particular role.

But today’s most ambitious tech companies are not like factories. They’re more like athletic teams. They’re looking for the LeBrons and Bradys — the best people in the world to come up with some brand-new, never-before-seen widget, to completely reimagine what widgets should do in the first place.

“It’s not about adding tens or hundreds of thousands of people into manufacturing plants,” said Aaron Levie, the co-founder and chief executive of the cloud-storage company Box. “It’s about the couple ideas that are going to be invented that are going to change everything.”

Why do tech honchos believe that immigrants are better at coming up with those inventions? It’s partly a numbers thing. As the tech venture capitalist Paul Graham has pointed out, the United States has only 5 percent of the world’s population; it stands to reason that most of the world’s best new ideas will be thought up by people who weren’t born here.

If you look at some of the most consequential ideas in tech, you find an unusual number that were developed by immigrants. For instance, Google’s entire advertising business — that is, the basis for the vast majority of its revenues and profits, the engine that allows it to hire thousands of people in the United States — was created by three immigrants: Salar Kamangar and Omid Kordestani, who came to the United States from Iran, and Eric Veach, from Canada.

But it’s not just a numbers thing. Another reason immigrants do so well in tech is that people from outside bring new perspectives that lead to new ideas.
