I'm not disagreeing but this problem has nothing to do with infinite growth it is mostly to do with government overreach. Which is kind of the opposite problem actually. My point is mostly when you attribute the failures of one system to problems it doesn't cause it weakens your position forever and makes it harder to find real solutions.

What part of this one is capitalism's fault? Capitalism definitely has its issues but let's make sure that we are accurate with criticisms otherwise they feel disingenuous.
The point is you are trusting the JavaScript that the server delivered to you. If the server is compromised, it hands you compromised JavaScript and you're screwed. It's the exact same thing as going to evil.com and entering your master password. I think that you inherently understand that evil.com is untrusted. However, if passwordmanager.com is compromised by the same people who own evil.com. there's really no difference.
For what it's worth, I think the heat pump measurement makes way more sense. What I want is to heat my house. I give you one watt hour and you give me 4 watt hours of heat. Sounds like 400% to me.
The real issue here is that for the most part the measurements never meant anything for silicon chips. At least too end users.
The term 0-day vulnerability in security has a specific meaning. It means that it was not found by security researchers and is instead being actively exploited on the day that it's discovered. I'm pretty sure none of these by definition or zero days
