Regarding your other comments about how the authors cherry picked their results and made up numbers in order to fabricate results, I can not take a stance.
Disagree completely.

The business model doesn't need to be profitable. Almost every website is unprofitable in itself, and only exist to serve as a person's or company's marketing interface. Websites ARE the ads, because that's their point. The web is a giant marketing device to sell stuff, like your resume or your local plumber or your open-source software project.

The problem is the tech, and in particular, how a person can create a website from scratch, without going through any other gateway company.

Facebook/Twitter/Instagram makes it super easy to post your content online. Ebay makes it easy to sell. You don't need to write any HTML or any other piece of code, or build a server and find hosting or configure AWS. You just post content from an app, and that's it. Any elderly person can do that now.

There really is a huge technological barrier in making the usable - in particular, the entire UX ecosystem of creating content on the web. This difficult UX problem will be a hard limit to expanding creation of the web by the public, and should be a focus on anyone that wants to make the web open.

I would recommend that groups like W3C or WHATWG or hardware vendors like Apple or Cisco develop standards that not only display content, but also entry, storage, and distribution.

Why isn't there a default app, like SMS/MMS messages, on an iPhone that lets you post your own website? Think of all the infrastructure that had to be built to get SMS/MMS messages working... the web needs the same thing. Can you imagine if sending an MMS, you had to write your own software? Or build your own hardware interface?

This is the level the web is at right now.

I was very happy with the system in my 2014 Cadillac ATS. When paired with the cruise control system, I could set cruise when I got on the highway, and the car would keep distance properly, including coming to a complete stop (and starting up again) for traffic jams.

Never underestimate that people just take the classes there and expense them. I signed up for GA in order to evaluate multiple classes on Design Thinking - not because I needed to learn that material from a class, but because I needed to prove I had taken a class to be eligible for an internal certificate within my company that qualified me to work on a certain kind of project. I ended up taking a different class (from codecademy), but GA was attractive because it was relatively inexpensive and the classes seemed to be pretty short, which would have helped.

My codecademy course in data analysis seems to be a lot more work, but also a lot more useful.

You can, of course, do science with graphical tools.

For instance, excel is a "graphical tool", and a lot of scientists use it.

But you can't do science on the field the tool is solving.

So you can use excel for biology, but data science is trying to trying to experiment on the data technique itself.

This means that they are addicted. They still want to quit. They know it's bad, but are incapable of quitting because they value the short term fix over long term health.

Are you kidding? Maybe the earlier Samsung phones, sure. But ever since the Galaxy S6, Samsung phones with Snapdragon CPUs (i.e. all the US models) have had locked bootloaders that are notoriously difficult to circumvent. Pretty much all custom ROM development on recent Galaxy's are aimed at the International Exynos-based processors for that reason. The GS8 even takes it one step further, where if the phone detects it has been rooted, it will cap the battery at 80% charge.

Well, no, they could (and would) block domains, like "*@facebook.com". Which would leave you exactly where you are now.

I don't like that blog post on "semantic compression". He's rediscovered refactoring but doesn't think so:

> This is a very bottom-up programming methodology, a pseudo-variant of which has recently gained the monicker “refactoring”, even though that is a ridiculous term for a number of reasons that are not worth belaboring at the moment. I also think that the formal “refactoring” stuff missed the main point, but that’s also not worth belaboring. Point being, they are sort-of related, and hopefully you will understand the similarities and differences more over the course of this article series.

Um, what? Refactoring is called refactoring because that's what it is: You're pulling out a "factor" of the program and reifying it into a symbol which then replaces the factored code. "semantic compression" is a great name for it, but it's been the done thing in Forth, for example, for many decades.

It's just like factoring polynomials.

This is a textbook example of what I call "half-smart": He's smart enough to write this article, but not smart enough not to.

UPnP / SSDP is a half baked standard will be a thing for the foreseeable future unfortunately. I say half baked, because with just a little effort and critical thinking, users would have full control over the interaction between their systems and their routers.

For starters, a lot of gaming companies now depend on people having this so that the users run the servers instead of the gaming company having to pay for the infrastructure. They won't begin to explain to kids how to forward ports.

Many app makers now assume this as well and certainly do not want to explain to non technical users how to forward ports to a machine on their network.

IoT is just leveraging an existing precedence.

Because there's no money in making a better RSS reader.

I'm sure the internal story of why Google killed off Reader is far more mundane office politics that we'll ever know, but since then, there's not been another that's risen to popularity. As the article mentions there's Feedly who's UI is functional if a bit baroque (why does every feed need to be tagged?) but ultimately it's still like trying to drink from a firehose. There's not been an RSS reader company that has come about since that shows Google was wrong to kill off Reader.

It's easy enough to think up improvements to their UX, but we don't have a marketplace of ideas because there is so much friction (even ignoring the work involved in starting up a company and hiring a team, there's no way to introduce a small tweak to Feedly without recreating their platform - and then you'd still have to convince enough people to migrate to your Feedly-clone first).

What we have a marketplace of VC-funded corporations, and branding is king. There's no stock exchange for listing specific features Feedly could implement in order to promote better RSS reader software.

I think the bigger lesson here is that we need to stop assuming real estate is a guaranteed return on investment. How long have we collectively held this assumption? I have no evidence for this but I assume it was pushed by realtors over time, similar to how they redefined "the American dream" to mean owning a home.

Your situation doesn't require the explanation of a zero-sum game. The simpler explanation is that you purchased a bad investment which yielded a negative return.

On a somewhat more objective note, there was a lot of criticism back when it came out. (Specifically, about "the bloat". Everything is relative, I guess; one can say that things continued to get worse and worse from Windows 2000 on, although some would swear that it was NT4 that was the best Windows ever - e.g. it ran in 16MB of RAM vs. Windows 2000 that raised the requirement to 32MB; for comparison, Windows 95 only needed 8MB.)
