Even if they continue distributing it, newer operating systems and browsers may not be able to run it.
The comp.graphics archives? Mostly that war was fought on mailing lists and Usenet newsgroups of the day. The Open Software Foundation (aka OSF aka Oppose Sun Forever :-)) instigated the Motif war as I recall. SGI, Microsoft, nVidia, S3, and 3DFx instigated the hardware vs FOSS wars armed with PMDs (Patents of Mass Destruction :-).
All of the employees suddenly stay.
This is anecdata. By that reasoning why would we even have poor people if being poor drove everyone to success like it did to you? Do you actually think that anyone who workedars hard as you would achieve the same level of success? If they could, wouldn't that just then become the minimum and you would have to work harder than that to achieve more? There is clearly something else going on here.

This doesn't mean you shouldn't be proud of yourself, but if you were being intellectually honest you would realize that this is not a rational well researched stance.

This topic has been researched to death already so we're not going to break any real ground but I would ask you two things specifically:

1. When you studied hard, were you supported to study hard? Were your basic necessities covered (food, shelter) so you could focus? A lot of kids don't even have this basic level of stability in their lives, and maybe you didn't either.

2. How did you get into computer science? When I was growing up I didn't know anyone who was a programmer of any kind and wouldn't have even known to consider it had I not gotten lucky and took a programming class in highschool partly because it allowed me to drive to the community college to do it and get out of school almost half of the day. If I hadn't had transportation and money for gas it would have never happened and who knows where I would be now.
but is this true? as a SysAdmin (a job often done by people like me, with no education at all) I make rather more than anyone I know working as a chemist, physicist, or mathematician, at least until they got tired of the low pay and became software engineers... but in my limited experience, I could say the same about people who studied poetry, philosophy or literature.

There's a lot of talk about STEM, when as far as I can tell, the money is all in computers; the others might get you slightly above median salaries, but if they are above median, it's not by much.
Hah, thanks. It's a pretty simple one, probably just took a few days. I think I ended up realizing that I really like coffee.

"42% of California's STEM workforce" aren't Geoff Hintons.

I don't see anyone arguing that exceptional talent shouldn't be welcomed into the U.S.

And I think the U.S. tech workforce is more elastic than you give credit for, especially for software skills. It's just most organizations want employees they don't have to train for their stacks, which I don't think is particularly reasonable.
The amount of side projects you've gotten off the ground is really impressive!

Something that's been invaluable to me has been coming up with a goal hierarchy -- an idea taken from Angela Duckworth's Grit. It's helped me focus where I direct my energy both professionally and personally. Maybe it could help you decide what to do next, and show you how your projects thus far tie together.
So apparently $100k+ is not enough money to interest the citizens. I wonder why that's the case.

By they way, the next step after not being able to hire a 60k H1B worker is usually to hire a 60k outsourced remote worker, not to hire a 150k "citizen".
Exactly. It's meaningless to discuss a "shortage" without mentioning the price offered. I say there's a shortage of new BMWs--I am willing to pay $10K for one.
