Making initial page loads significantly faster, especially on intermittent mobile connections (which is an extremely common situation often underestimated by web developers) is worth a little bit of complexity, yes. And the entire point of

"You said X 3 years ago, but now you said, which is the opposite of X. How dare you?" is one class of problems. Another is that you can learn quite a bit more about a person than they wished to actually divulge to you if you'

Peter Singer is well known as a "founder" of EA, and vegetarianism is a tenet that many EAs hold, whether or not you directly consider it part of EA. Animal welfare is, at the very least, one of the core causes. That specific book

I don't think Troy Hunt is recommending what you're suggesting at all? The very beginning of the post starts with: > but I'm a smart human so I don't fall for this (that's a joke, read why humans are bad at URLs)

It doesn’t take a lot of deliberation to realize the obvious reason, which is that this is a very clear 4th amendment violation which can then serve as suitable precedent for (or even have a chilling effect on) future instances where law en
