These cloud vendors are not proposing to be commodity hosts of Open Office that you can "borrow" to get some work done. They seem to have a lock-in component.
I think the final answers will be blends of both sides, with the slight focus varying among the different solutions. I bet it will all shake out with a couple representatives of each type in equilibrium.

You found the other half of my post above. This time the "chain element" is actually a medical event, rather than subjective.
I still think all of these topics are fragmented weaker versions of the much deeper problem of science's history of reductionism. We worked so hard culturally to reduce debris & distractions in medicine, which got us a long way.
But at the very end, in emergent chaotic systems, there is a holistic level that vanishes when you break up the parts. You could simply combine "all four forms" of the exterior-meta-treatments and then choose not to obsess why the synergy works. (Doctor care - classical placebo (subjective taste etc for mind to fix on (secondary medical event, again for the mind to fix on (conceptual activity like relaxation exercise ))))
This is just beginning to be explored in recent literature in the last decade.
I have occasionally used a modified variant of this I call "Chaining". Hot Tamales stuffed inside something like a Licorice twizzler are a good example. Classical placebos are tasteless. If you had a placebo with a real kick in the taste department it would "feel like doing the duty of following doctor's orders".
Sam E is a legitimate medicine in its own right. But does it ever have the nastiest kickback of any part of my supplement repetoire. I kinda like that. "This is Medicine, Capital M, so don't mess with it".
Last I knew, the classical placebo was for the *patient* to feel better. You just described a scary variant, the placebo to make the *mother* of the patient feel better!
Science has tricked itself into a tradition that is only just starting to change. We don't like to "accept" any procedure that "doesn't work". So tons of subtle practices that can't hurt and very likely help tap into body defenses are discarded as junk.
The patient has been conditioned that "since we got rid of the quacks back in 1925, every pill at least sorta does something". So patients come to want an *edible* placebo.
If the doctor doesn't have a classical cure, I would prefer to be advised to try an "action based placebo" such as meditation. Then the additional benefits over placebo such as conceptual structural clarity, etc. can provide the additional benefit.

It's not supposed to be "for the lay driver in 3D traffic", but it IS for the pilot to "Fly somewhere thus dodging traffic". Yes, that car rental problem at the end of a flight is a bear hidden trap that doe seriously add a cost to trips. This is practically the "Holy Grail" of transport.
Hi. You succeeded in posting something interesting but different from the idea I apparently failed to express.
I meant an neo-AI/expert system that cruises slashdot all of its own accord. It could post an occasional Informative or Funny comment, and do its own moderations.
Most troll posts are fairly simple in design, so that would be an easy place to start.
Your multi-dimensional modding goes into different textual territory, and I do not yet have an opinion.
I was aiming after the "expert can actively engage in his activity while the novice simply stares in dismay without processing anything". In other words, drawn very roughly from personal experience, the novice sufficiently out of depth is so stonewalled that essentially no useful thought on the subject occurs at all. I actually keep a couple of books in my library for exactly this reason, with the theme of monitoring my meta-emotions.
I thought this over way back. I retired from video games after MK3, just before the height of the advent of MMOs. The effort/reward ratios were changing.
Can we reward anyone who takes the time to reverse a bad mod with their own Mod point? (Underrated?)

The online copies are backups. When your laptop went AWOL, you go to some new computer, download them, then do your thing.
Go redundant. When your laptop isn't available, these new phones can sometimes process your actual documents. We're one generation short of proper usability on this front. That will be fixed in about 2 years.
Phone not an option? Get a "disposable desktop". You know, some piece of junk for $100. There's a huge influx of machines due to hit this maturity stage within the same next two years when HeavyOS drives upgrades.

Enter Robin Cook.
That's already a complicated definition of "medical truth". Then add some human failing and the story writes itself.
Wow.

You lose.
Wait till they find a hot gene that predisposes towards something rough.
Yes, it's knowing, so it's not an invasion. It's a forfeit, perhaps a sacrifice. Now we get to see if the sacrifice is unsound.
It's not supposed to be "for the lay driver in 3D traffic", but it IS for the pilot to "Fly somewhere thus dodging traffic". Yes, that car rental problem at the end of a flight is a bear hidden trap that doe seriously add a cost to trips. This is practically the "Holy Grail" of transport.
