Yeah man. I've never heard of those. They sound like the best thing since sliced bread. Only if they could access the DOM...

Seriously... what are you even talking about? Why do you even mention them? You read single threaded and thought "Quick, I must come up with an answer! I can't let a stranger on the Internet change my opinion!"?

Uhm... the DOM is single threaded and sequential. It will never EVER be comparable to native clients.

That title.

Their arguments are just as valid as then. Web interfaces will never be as rich as desktop ones. Cloud connected desktop applications will gain a lot of momentum going forward.

Then you will see everything. I have a facebook profile with very few friends and relatively few liked pages.

I see every activity, including comments and even likes.

Nobody knows what they look like as the other commenters pointed out.

However, to a question "When are we going to see the Furlings", one of the producers answers "Who says we haven't?"

What has changed in the limitations of the DOM?

>I have no doubt that the web will eat desktop application

Both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates disagree with you[1].

It's unrealized gains. The problem most definitely lies with you. The producer proposes a something-for-something deal and you won't take anything other than something-for-nothing by presumption.

If he consumes your bandwidth, he is the devil. But when you consume his bandwidth without offering anything in return, it is justified?

You have those things and then you have robbing the publisher from his revenue and still wanting to consume his production. This problem precedes your problems. You presumed that the publisher will violate your privacy but decided that you want to profit from him anyway while blocking him from profiting from you. Is that an exchange in good faith? Or do you contemplate the morality of actions only when it suits you? Sounds like self-justification to me.

Don't visit their sites. Problem solved!

You pay for access to the internet, not the content.

Why do you feel the need to invent some hypothetical scenario to defend your point? Maybe because deep down you know that blocking ads is not justified?

Because people share content before reading it. Oftentimes they would just glance over the first couple of paragraphs and hit a share button.

Buzzfeed and QZ make regular appearances on HN. I saw Seth Godin once. I saw the daily mail on several occasions. Do not put HN on a piedestal.

He outsources his blog management to a "productized consulting" firm from his clearly very exclusive and top-tier list.

That's not the same at all.

If somebody from the relevant departments at google reads this: Please allow export of GA data to BigQuery for non premium accounts.

Propaganda for fun, for profit, and for political gains dates a lot earlier than modern advertising.

Optimizely and especially VWO are not the same class of products.

That is true, but those products have little to do with OP is talking about. Self driving cars are using nothing more than a calcullator. A very sophisticated one, for sure, but it a calculator nonetheless. It is dubbed "AI" because it sounds sexier.

Foreseeable for me means several hundreds of years.

If you don't agree, please do tell how you formed your opinion.

From what I've read, the winter was caused by complete lack of direction. No one knew how to even approach the problems. This doesn't seem to have changed at all.

Lol, downvotes in this thread? That is just ridiculous.

I don't think there is a possibility of it happening at all (in the foreseeble future).

>Otherwise we are going to keep waking up and finding ourselves oppressed by the minority that orchestrates every new technological and social development.

This has always been the case. Always will be.

No, I mean Visual Composition Framework (it's a Gartner name). It is drag and drop components just like Rapid Miner, Alteryx, KNIME or Azure ML. However the tools that perform those things now are standalone and I have to switch between 5 or so different tools to get my job done.

Kind of like SQL Server Integration Services but instead of SQL Server, target Azure ML.

Bring the VCF from Azure ML to Visual Studio! I said it in the survey too. VCF is very important in some settings. Being able to code R + SQL and have workflow components in the same environment would be a killer feature.

Really?

>It seems now instead of using it to awash the world with manufactured good they are refocusing it on services.

Yeah, that's easier said than done.
