It isn't only about the data. When people visit AMP pages from Google Search, they aren't visiting your site. They are visiting a restricted shell of it that is hosted on google.com with a left-right swipe that takes users off of

Sorry, I've posted it on every tDCS article I've seen on HN, and no one has noticed it. It took three posts in this thread to get anyone to see it. I'm trying to help people be more cautious about their brain cells.

When doing 3-5 day water fasts, I don't do much work from the 2nd day. If you're doing the 12-16 hour kind of fast, then stopping food intake at around 4 pm doesn't affect the work day. I get tired when doing alternate day fa

AMP will have a long-term destructive effect on web publishers (and the open, decentralized WWW), so I don't think the term "web exploiters" is accurate. Google is doing the exploitation.

You can override things like that with an extension called Stylus. Inspect the element and then add a new CSS rule (globally, by domain, or by URL). Stylus will remember it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox&#x2F
