If you are using GA code that is at all recent, it should have no impact on the page speed as it loads async. All the parts of the page that Google cares about will already have rendered by this point.

One reason is that overall power consumption needs, timing and priority are going to vary a lot household to household. For one household a power outage might be no problem, for another which depends on life support equipment, a power outa

Ultra-rapid fast charging really should only be used on long road trips, which is likely a fraction of the average driver's mileage. The vast majority of EV charging should be slow charging at home, where the owner should be able to ti

One thing to note is that the 2021 population is an estimate , and if you are a Census buff as I am, and compare the Census' 2019 estimates to the 2020 actual populations (as calculated from the census), there are often very large dif

I think your idea fails for at least a couple key reasons. First, a lot of customers will probably migrate to competitor if they know the product isn't in active development anymore, so the MRR will likely drop over time. Second, inves

Part of the reason that IE6/7 was so annoying is that those browsers had a large market share but also lacked the features of the other leading browsers so you always had to bend over backwards to make your code support both. Chrome do

To offset all the negative comments, I'll agree with the premise of the article: Wordle was a nice thing that didn't seem to have any of the negative emergent behaviors of his past projects. It's a fun thing that everybody in

If the public are also "following the data", then the polling data and scientific consensus are likely to be highly correlated. I don't think it is nefarious at all that the general public and political leaders come to the s

So you contend that "the Democrats" (who obviously are a fully united entity who never disagree) should have kept all the restrictions even though the Omicron wave is ending? What should they have done?

The peak of the delta wave was 160k cases/day, and the current case levels are ~52k/day. So given that, you think most areas are having higher case loads than the peak of the delta wave? You just aren't look at the data. Th

So for example, you consider the 3 Democratic Governors of California, Oregon and Washington ending their state's various mask mandates 4+ months after the VA election to be "eager to end COVID restrictions no matter what".

You don't think the fact that this country just had the largest ever COVID wave (in terms of cases), which is in the process of ending, is at all related to the decisions? Also of the scant 40 million people remaining in California, wh

Every company in history could have remained smaller and more efficient. Amazon could still be an online bookstore with higher margins than they have now. It is very normal and natural for companies take risks to grow, and sometimes those

The funny thing is that if the people who worked on spam at Google were free to talk about it, I'm sure it would become evident that they know more about spam and anti-spam efforts than anybody else in existence. It's a ridicul

The driver is always responsible for what their vehicle does. As long as the driver can override the steering (which they can), then there is really nothing to be concerned about. This is the same for cars using openpilot, or Tesla's

It saturates the body to such a degree that the "worst" vaccine in the "worst" age group creates an extra 30 cases of myocarditis per million people? Edit: 100 per million, thanks for the correction. 0.01% of people.

Absolutely not true as a blanket statement. Maybe if the driver monitoring is so lax that you could conceivably trick the car into poorly driving itself, but the system I use, Comma [1], has incredibly strict driver monitoring. There is ab
