Web Sites Going The Way Of The Dodo
EXTRACT
Browsers are universal and can access any content with a Web address. Most Web sites also do not have an app counterpart, so the only way to access content is to use the old-fashioned browser. Another issue is that apps cannot be crawled by search engines, so they are left out of search results. The biggest pitfall for apps is that they have to be downloaded in order to be accessed, which takes up screen space and disk space.
CROWD-SOURCING THE TREATY VERIFICATION PROBLEM
“Never before has so much information and analysis been so widely and openly available. The opportunities for addressing future [treaty] monitoring challenges include the ability to track activity, materials and components in far more detail than previously, both for purposes of treaty verification and to counter WMD proliferation,” according to a recent study from the JASON defense science advisory panel. See Open and Crowd-Sourced Data for Treaty Verification, October 2014.

Idle speculation from a counterintelligence officer.
1) Go back to Trump’s recent past, you see he is buddies with the Clintons, especially Hillary. He has given money to their foundation and he was once a big fan of of Hill’s views on immigration reform. With his background, he’s a really a Demo in Repub drag covertly sullying and tainting the Republican BRAND both by endless accusatory charges against individual Repub elites and by embodying in his person and message – in a very exaggerated way – the worst and ugliest dark shadows looming behind the Repub agenda. When people look at and listen to him, he implicitly reminds voters – in his very own personal example – that Repub pols are racist and way too rich to care about anybody but the rich, plus profoundly hypocritical, indifferent to the facts, etc. When they see/hear him hurl bitter accusations against other Repubs, he reminds them explicitly, like a Demo might, that Repub pols are are incompetent, hypocrites (e.g., not caring for vets), and religious nutjobs. He makes them look bad in his personal example AND what he directly says about them. Objective of this two-pronged approach: get enough people to be revolted by the sheer unattractiveness – on all levels – of Repub pols to vote Demo instead. Bingo, Hill wins. Likelihood: High.

Google: The Forever Rising Revenue Starship
Will legal hassles, cost cutting, the surge in mobile usage, and the challenges of making money in China and Russia slow the Forever Rising, the new monetary interstellar vehicle? Absolutely not. Lawyers, even countries, cannot exert sufficient gravitational pull to cause the money craft to veer from its trajectory.
Phi Beta Iota: Google is the poster child for death of capitalism as reductionism, joining Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, and Dell, among others that sold out to NSA, are pimped by the banks, and are not delivering real value toward the needs of the five billion poorest, the 99%.

What worries me about the future of Silicon Valley, is that one-dimensionality, that it's not a Renaissance culture, it's an engineering culture. It's an engineering culture that believes that it's revolutionary, but it's actually not that revolutionary. The Valley has, for a long time, mined a couple of big ideas. Read full article.
