so much bullshit to force new abusive legislation. at least they avoided "think of the children"itis nothing on this topic is new. laws for wire fraud and money laundry already lay a foundation for prosecuting international crimes

projecting much? :) I personally agree with the point being afraid of incompetence, not malice.

most people on FB never signed up for it. they have my phone number and social graph because my acquaintances let the app upload their contact list, and same for photos. also, can you say that facebook, advertising and thinktanks are not p

I grew up referencing RFCs in network software land. Then I got a few gigs with eletronics and the first years were the most depressive of my life. every step started with a research for some standard, then the request to purchase it, then

I guess you missed the point. in most societies, specially western, death is never a concern unless you are terminally ill. which is insane. I read the comment you are replying to as a joke of the article title. As in, how can something be

what did you browsed the web with? or as relevant at the time: how did you communicate via msn/aim/yim/icq? I hope you're not one of those condescending Unix types that only had online interactions on irc :P

You are not wrong (about what is on the standards). But you are being downvoted because everyone who did implement AMP in the real world, did so for the SEO benefits.

I believe you. That's what the fine folks at the IE team did with ajax too, for example. And I am not being ironic, but the line is so thin that I have to point it out either way.

Real use case for this is so Google can poke into context for links shared via services they have no ownership. They got used to know exactly what people share and, much more importantly, what people click on email, thanks to gmail rewritin

amp is a self serving standard. Nowhere in the standard "higher search ranking on google inc" is mentioned as a must have feature. Yet it is the only feature anyone care about when discussing adoption.

not really. it started with the word "penis" for the original "campaign" but since a single word was obviously ineffective the meme improved.

if you were really blocking all trackers, Captcha would even work. Firefox help page for their new tracker blocking feature says so even.

that's good. tor traffic should not leak on the open web. that just diminish tor network and cause headaches to node operators. if you care about all that, run a node without internet exit, and also strive to make your sites available
