you don't ban people for their opinions in free democracies, how so ever absurd and outrageous they may be. Probably you come from a country where people are banned for their views and opinions. But that is not what a free society does.
No world leader is going to read any racist rant on internet and make decision out of it, so chill.
>that money could absolutely be spent better in other ways.
It can't. The amount of money allocated to the space program is insignificant and doesn't move the needle. There are diminishing returns to putting more and more money into the same things. By investing a little into every sector you diversity and pick up the low hanging fruit.
I personally think svg had so much potential for the web, only if they had flexbox kind of dom model.
the gap between UX design and final product would have been significantly reduced. one would simply design apps in inkscape and add funtionality later to it.
> A strong democracy doesn't need to fight "fake news" legally and doesn't need their own propaganda
your argument to me sounded like :
> Brave people don't fear heights, you are brave and hence you should jump from empire state building. And you don't need protection, remember you are brave.
Since you are straw manning the argument, brave people should be protected from their foolishness by banning rock climbing and base jumping. How does that sound?
IIT colleges in themselves are not even in top 100 Universities of the world.
If you train a lion in a circus, it won't be the king of the jungle.
So if we were to believe your statement:
> I doubt most Europeans or US students could pass it, even after a year or two at university.
than this allegedly miraclous students are wasting there talents studying in IITs!
USA and European university rankings have a strong bias against universities in the Global South (especially India), in part because of the stigma against Indian programmers and in part because they're generally wanting to promote US and European universities as the global leaders. If you're going to disparage a university based on nothing but ranking lists run by USA and Europeans, you're missing out.
IIT students are amazing, i've worked with them. Far more creative and competent programmers than the average Ivy League grad in my cohort.
> Why would two independent governing bodies group together to oppress a single country?
Not that it’s the same, but have you looked at either of these countries’ pasts? Even relatively recently— the Marshall Islands, or still ongoing, in Mauritius/Diego Garcia.
This is not exactly true either. Some IIT students are terrible programmers, others not. But they do have certain strengths and their math training is very strong.
There was recently a German math professor who famously compared the JEE to some German standards. It‘s worth looking into.
I say this, having studied at a European university as well as visited IIT and a top US university. These are different traditions with different strength and weaknesses but my point was not to say that IIT is better, it was to put the OP comment into a context.
As someone who attended both an IIT (as an undergrad) and a top 10 US university (for my PhD) - think of IITs as very selective undergrad colleges in the USA, such as Swarthmore or Amherst.
IITs are way more teaching focused than research focused, and are have a very light international student presence - two factors that enormously influence rankings.
I came across this new web standard in progress called MiniApp. The use cases it presents , can all be covered with the existing PWA + Service worker ecosystem. One can create a PWA which saves web pages (basically other mini apps): either in cache or indexeddb.
Interesting seeing a bunch of huge Chinese Bug Tech companies starting to "standardize".
Right now this feels more like an idea than a full built out spec. It's quite a grab bag of concerns. It feels like there's a ton of relevant specs they could have drawn from like Web Bundles, rather than loosely declaring vague intent to build yet another packaging system as a part of this mega-multi-spec. At least we some logical extensions: they use the existing Web App Manifest work as a basis, and throw a ton in top, which could be worse.
Overall I'm still really confused what this really represents. There's such a weird new UI paradigm, married to new bundling, with new linking, and a new life cycle... And more. It doesn't feel web. It looks like a native app toolkit that loosely references the web.
I don't think it will have any of the charitable rfc8890 "the Internet is for end user" benefits of the current web. It feels like it takes & I can't see advantages over what we have. Distribute some Custom Elements on your proprietary platform, if that's what you want, which seems to be the case. Don't build an entirely parallel non-web system, gross.
Split it up! I'd love to have a new widget spec! Widgets rocked! But this macro framework feels bad. It feels so native-platform like, such a large unit, which isn't how the web won.
It's orthogonal to that. It's about the app being embedded in some other app that handles concerns such as authentication.
From my point of view, PWA is mostly a nothingburger. I mean who needs another way for web sites to spam me with spamifications about the spamifications they'd like to spam me with if only I am so foolish to consent to more spamification? Similarly the service worker approach is like a Rube Goldberg machine for building Rube Goldberg machines. It's like nobody learned from Netscape Netcaster.
Then some stooges for Google go around and say that Apple is ruining the web by not supporting that nonsense when really Apple is just stopping the insanity.
I am unsure about how/which experience of yours made you conclude Service worker as Rube Goldberg machine, as otherwise with just few lines one can write a service worker.
Push Notification has its own use case, a user who wants instant stock updates and don't want to install a whole big native app for just this, can simply accept notification from a PWA and starts getting customized notifications. No need to install the PWA itself, juts subscription to notification is required.
Regarding push service and its usage for spams, the user has full control to stop those notification any instance. Personally PWA seems to me as the greatest thing that has come out of web, which gives full control in user's hand. User can very easily see what data an app collects and control what data user wants to share.
Just before LLM and stable diffusion I would have agreed with you but this two tools are real game changer, I do use the daily and they are not part of my day to day business.
Generally managers are hired to act us buffer between higher order management and employee. HOM don't want to micro manage employees, but they want responsibility, which lower rank employee (the one who do actual work) tend to carry the least. While most workforce would come defensive, that they work responsibily, but indeed most don't. So they higher this manager who do micro manage employee on HOM behalf. The minute most employee gets a good offers, they will fly like its none of there responsiblity, so HOM higher this buffer manager to manage this minute but important aspect for successful project delivery.
