I really do not appreciate you continually calling me a liar (since I've told you in no uncertain terms that I personally have tested this behavior), especially since all you're doing is an appeal to authority ("Google engineers!") based on a misunderstanding of the issue at hand. You keep claiming you have "evidence", but all your "evidence" proves is that you need to work on your reading comprehension skills, because those pages do not say what you think they say.
> You are basically calling Google and each of these authors that I've linked as liars
Let me try this again:
YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS ISSUE. YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW CONTENT ENCODINGS WORK OR WHAT EFFECT HTTPS HAS ON BROTLI. I AM NOT CALLING THEM LIARS, I AM CALLING YOU INCREDIBLY IGNORANT.
I am done with this conversation. I am not going to respond to any more of your comments. You don't understand basically any part of what's going on here, but you think you do and you won't even acknowledge the possibility that you are wrong. You're also misinterpreting nearly everything I say, because you're not actually reading my damn comments, you're just skimming them looking for things you can argue against. Case in point, your sentence that starts with "First you said it was 40%"; I was talking about tools that speak HTTP, which was extremely clearly from context, and you're completely misinterpreting that as browsers, and what's more you're even putting words in my mouth (literally nowhere did I say 40%).
- dang 9y ago> You are an ignorant fool. That is a serious breach of HN's civility rule and the sort of thing we ban people for. When someone is provocatively repeating wrong statements (or appears to be) and is getting increasingly rude, the way to deal with that is not to lose your own cool, it's to realize that there's no win in this and just leave it. A.k.a. don't feed the trolls, it takes two to tango, two wrongs don't make a right, and sundry other things our mothers told us.
- eridius 9y agoI've deleted the offending line. But I admit to being a little surprised that "ignorant fool" is considered a serious breach. That honestly seems fairly tame to me. I was looking for a phrase that meant that not only are they ignorant, but they're either unwilling or unable to recognize this. But I suppose I can believe that other people may read more into the phrase that I intended.
- dang 9y agoDr. Dang recommends full recalibration of your internet provocation meter. "Ignorant fool" is well into the red!
