A programming-language-neutral GUI standard that can handle some degree of latency is something good to have regardless. If people and corporations get security wrong, that's bad; but if they get security AND UI standards/management wrong, that's even worse.
Being a Colombian and Earthling is not mutually exclusive to being a scientist. In fact, most scientists are probably Earthlings, I'd bet (despite their odd hair and unfashionable clothing). Are you complaining about the wording of labels, or something deeper?
China has give or take 4.4 times pop. as USA...[their] middle class is growing rapidly...Eventually you will be unable to keep up in any domain...Rather than drive yourselves into the dirt trying to keep up when you have no hope, better to accept your place as second tier with grace.
I don't trust them to be a friendly big nation: totalitarians rarely settle. Perhaps we'll need more immigrants to avoid being swamped by sheer numbers. I know this bothers some, but the alternative may be the end of USA.
They are also planning on becoming #1 [in many fields] Meanwhile, in the USA, we are planning on giving rich trust-fund babies even more money they didn't earn
The rich spend boat-loads of money convincing the population that trickle-down either works, or would work if we reach a sufficient level of tax breaks and deregulation. So far this bribery, I mean investment, appears to be paying off because at least half the country accepts it.
I do fear a slippery slope: the richer the rich get the more they spend on convincing the population that their own well-being depends on fat cats staying fat, given them even more power to get more power. The ever growing inequality since around 1980 is evidence of a slippery slope, or at least a trend somehow "stuck" going up.
The idea of "corporate personhood" is not in the Constitution, but has slowly worked its way into common law by judges placed there by the rich. Some aspects of corporate personhood do have legal value in terms of deciding how to apply existing laws to corporations, but it's been way overdone.
Save the Cloud thing, I've been hearing this for the past couple decades...
If Amazon, IBM, Oracle, and Google developed decent open "cloud" standards without playing their usual tricks, they could steal the cloud from MS. And don't make the cloud about "external" hosting. Make it about being location neutral: if an org wants to have hardware in-house, make the cloud standards be in-house-friendly.
The biggest problem is their inbred nature of twisting standards in their favor by leaving them too vague and adding non-standard extensions without notice/clarity. This makes you dependent on their dialect. They'd have to resist this urge to dethrone MS, because MS will win a half-ass-standards race.
This is sounds like a more extreme version of the current "UFO theory" or "greys theory" in which humanity is basically a zoo and/or breeding farm being watched over or managed by alien beings who do their tasks largely invisible to us.
I know people who are adamant they witnessed some really odd stuff. I cannot outright dismiss it.
You know your habit of relating anything you possibly can to Trump is a mental illness right?
I have the best Trump writing, believe me! I invented Trump writing and I invented Al Gore. My Yuuuuge crowds and the bigly generals are all telling me how great my Trump writing is.
You seem to want a return to mostly locally installed applications. That's unlikely to happen, even if it were "better". A programming-language-neutral GUI/UI standard would still be desirable even under that scenario. Most desktop UI engines are too tied to a programming language. Maybe both UI issues could be solved at the same time and the web-vs-desktop issue wouldn't stop a better standard.
The issue is the web is not meant to replace computers
Meant by who? Who is the official meaning manager?
it just does in many cases because people are cheap and web "devs" are plentiful while actual developers are not.
I'm not sure that's the case, but the fact you believe such shows you agree that human labor issues play a big role in what actually happens. That's my main point.
The local machine is more powerful than...
So? Doesn't have to be. Maybe they wouldn't if they didn't need it.
Again, you seem way overly concerned with efficiently allocating computing resources at the expense of other factors. Managing software, software stacks, and software versions is a much bigger resource sink (economic concern) than chips. I'm just the messenger. I didn't make it that way, I'm only trying to better live with conditions given to us by circumstances.
You are thinking of hardware resources whereas human-ware resources are usually the real economic bottleneck. Developing and testing for 50+ client variations (browser brands & versions) is too big of a human time-sink. Consistency overrides "proper" hardware distribution/allocation in this case.
Besides, it reduces the computing needs of your local device: longer battery life and cheaper purchase price.
We need a new HTTP-friendly GUI standard. The HTML/DOM/JS stack sucks for modern needs. My suggestion is to move more of the computations, including the layout engine, to the server-side to reduce browser-version-dependency: slimmer client where the browser becomes mostly a dumb vector plotter.
You start by thinking, "what do we absolutely HAVE to do on the client" to be practical. If functionality can be moved to the server, then don't include it in the client (UI standard).
The X-Window system seems about the closest existing standard to what I imagine such a philosophy would lead to. But, it should be vector based instead of pixel based, and have input widgets (boxes) that can buffer input keystrokes on the client-side. The X-Window system was not designed with enough potential latency and bad connections in mind.
Some things like screen-resizing will be slower, but less dependence on client-side scripting and less client complexity will give net benefits. For one, it would make testing easier because you'd be dealing with one layout engine (on the server) instead of 50+ (browser brands & versions).
Do you mean the summary, or actual article? The summary I submitted in the story submission form was different from the Slashdot-published version. As the first line points out, it has been edited. Actually, my summary was shorter than the published version. For one, it didn't include the "very, very, very bad" line because I felt other wording already indicated Google's change made a bigly mess.
The "red" part of USA would rather have their left nut cut off than allow such "socialism". They'll blame such unemployment on factors such as "too much" regulation or taxes, foreigners, a foreign country, Hollywood elites, Canadian cows or bees, Soros banking conspiracies, Hillary's emails, etc. etc. before they will submit to New Deal 2.

For one, most other countries will tax them fairly heavily. Second, it's not easy to move certain kinds of assets out.

If she is allowed to refuse it, the system is screwed up. Focus on fixing the system rather than just punishing one individual.
That bong of yours is really an alien spaceship.
Because they want young people who are too naive to question stupid fads so that PHB's can get and brag about eye-candy apps.
USA ran out of naive young people.
One of the few things that orange dude has done right. I've seen H1-B bullshit in many orgs.

Data privacy is a different issue
So Trump's boy-scout speech is a goner.

Two wrongs don't make a right, even if that were all true. (Dailycaller is highly biased. Skippit.)
