Re:There’s a simple alternative to the current web on Saturday August 23, 2014 @01:45PM (#8216351)
This wouldn't work for any web page that has dynamic content stored in a database. If the database no longer exists a decade from now this doesn't solve that problem.

Also, wouldn't this break analytics and reporting for most websites too? It'll be much tougher to track user behavior to improve user experience. And debugging using log data? I get what the author is suggesting but "fixing the web" this way would break more things that large websites and companies rely on.

I found it. It's mentioned on page 5 in the executive summary. I don't have enough time to read through the whole report right now.

This one really jumped out at me too. I haven't read this anywhere before:

"research from the Bay Area Council Economic Institute showed that each of these tech jobs had an astounding effect of creating an additional 4.3 jobs in the local economy."

Well, the article says they've only drawn up blueprints of how the technology could work so far. I hope they start actually developing this soon though.
