What about leasing visitors' processing power to run scientific computation? Maybe MapReduce jobs?
Would that be more intrusive or less intrusive than advertisement?
- gpvos 11y agoIf I could choose in advance which kind of computations would be done, maybe. And there definitely should be an enforceable limit on the amount of processing.
- rhaps0dy 11y agoIt should not alter the user experience. Maybe use at most 30% CPU, leaving priority to the other processes. Also avoid computing on devices with battery, or with low battery.
- piyush_soni 11y agoPersonally, if this processing infrastructure is managed by a big/trustworthy company (MS/Google/Amazon etc.) I should be OK with it, as long as its sandboxed. But if every individual website wants to implement its own way of using my processor power, I will prefer ads to it any day.
