If you took JSW off of most websites, it wouldn't be neutering the web it'd be making it better.
- littlestymaar 9y agoA taxidermist could argue that dead animals are better than living ones : they are indeed more convenient, less dangerous and cheaper to feed. But they aren't animal anymore, are they ?
- letsgetphysITal 9y agoAbsolutely true. However, I'm not also not likely to find my stuffed cat slowed to a crawl and using all my electricity by mining Bitcoin because some 3rd party advertising network got compromised. Any other daft analogies you want to use?
- littlestymaar 9y agoYour stuffed cat could not, but a living cat could bring you rabies if some third party in your neighborhood got infected, that's my point ;).
- zingmars 9y agoSo your point is that we _should_ JavaScript?
- PuffinBlue 9y agoWho knows! This comment thread is so wrapped up in its own analogy i just stuffed my cat full of JavaScript.
- optimuspaul 9y agoI think it's obvious that the point was no javascript... but a live cat is way more fun, so I'm not on board with that.
- UncleEntity 9y ago> However, I'm not also not likely to find my stuffed cat slowed to a crawl and using all my electricity by mining Bitcoin because some 3rd party advertising network got compromised. You obviously need to upgrade your stuffed cat...

- thanatropism 9y agoMathJax though.
