Cors in general is broken in general and for numerous reasons but on the client side more than server side.

Cors should be good. Cors could be good. But its primitive, difficult to write with when dealing with things such as Hybrid mobile development. If Web Services need a header acceptance policy solution then drop the same origin policy anyway and make it a totally separate thing. Make it so same origin resource sharing on the local side is blocked by default with an established white-listing system in place the also records management of how the resources are used would be even better!

You can get some of that that with the inspection tools on Chromium now but it would be far better if it was more definitive. E.G LocalStorage we could know when requests are made rather than just seeing the variables change.

Just as if Episode 1 2 3 did not exist? That's how i see it. They never needed the republic before, why did Lucas put it there in the first place?

Probably a good excuse to dump the web as it's just shocking how many JS trackers are getting at your stats with every page visit. Though heading to the App store to serve web content means providers just get more "detailed" stats about their users. So Kobayashi Maru there right.

I can say Crosswalk is really the step up that's needed for both iOS and Android and wIth ECMA being enforced with more and more browsers over time. The problem is just that its 40 meg to download.

I can see this AMP project as good pretext for quick and instant functionality, though from downloading the examples and reading a bit about it. It really needs a lot more work before it would become useful to me or any of the projects i'm presently on.

People bitching about mobile websites are in for a real shock when Google Cardboard and Accelerometer tech comes into play for the web. Just imagine looking at a website menu items by simply shifting the pitch and angle of your phone. I'd say 6-12 months before that happens. And with Apple being supported by Cardboard I'm surprised it already hasn't happened! But even without cardboard, Accelerometer navigated website should really be the next thing.

I'd say its not a fair declare fault until we know with 100% certainty that it was in fact a "hack" of some sorts. Lets say it was an inside job and a simple case of data theft in the workplace. Even the NSA cant guard against such things (Snowden). Of course you can permission control data, etc. But there is always a small few that has complete access.

Besides, in many countries what you say is already in place. Under things such as the Corporations Act. Directors are held liable for the companies behavior. The problem being nobody prosecutes these laws. I'd go as far to say that Executives having knowledge of security issues and not acting is negligence in its most simplest form.

Problem: To the rest of the galaxy we'll end up pigeonholing ourselves as being too 'Ferengi like'

I argue this. Lets say hypothetically that they are not fake. And the company is just plain out bad at what they do. Deformation laws are such where they can contest just about anything, true or untrue. E.G you did a crap job for someone and they complained truthfully so you sue. In effect you can win that provided you can demonstrate clear loss of income.

Where I feel this gets sticky is not this issue though since my above example is not common. What the issue is for me is that lets say it was one person who made these bad reviews and used Sock Puppet accounts to do so. If Mr Sock-Puppet can find another disgruntled customer who posted a bad review albeit on Google Places, Facebook, TripAdvisor or whatever.

The argument would be why was this guy taken to the courts? A sock puppet issue should be by definition a breach of terms and conditions on Yelp! and those comments therefore should be removed on that basis. It's a bad precedent for the plaintiff to make these claims and I see this case a loser anyway you sell it.

Not being able to print Euros may of called for the collapse of Greece but under the Drachma Greece was already broken. Goldman Sachs committed fraud/trickery to get Greece into the EU in the first place. Therefore this has nothing to do with printing money or not printing money it has to do with "the real economy".

Printing money only camouflages the damage for a later day which is what they'll do to bail out Deutsche Bank to stave off an 09 type collapse this time around. Because at the end of the day someone somewhere will print money somehow to solve the problem.

Fiat has always resulted in these types of issues because they create debt based economies dictated by central banks. This is the very problem. One day people will see through the lie and all hell will break loose. This is enviable.

A gold standard may not be feasible but it is practical. Bitcoin has the same practicality but the question is, is it feasible? A tip, look into the actual mining process, learn about the sub types of bitcoin, then you'll see its value.

Mr AC. I'm keen to ask, when the Govt pays trolls like you. Do you get a per post rate or is it per day or per week? How does it work? Just curious on how it all works ;)
