If only all the sites stopped embedding the social media buttons, i don't mind people on Facebook, twitter, instagram, etc etc, i do mind their tracking buttons everywhere.

Since the example data is stock data, i think it is safe to assume people don't want to be 249.9ms late with their purchase :)

"When you deliver response time that drops down to about a quarter of a second, results seem to be instantaneous to users."

I don't think everybody agrees with this statement.

Blue light indeed is bad for sleeping, painting your walls blue however does work.

oh yeah, i will give xi another chance, what it didn't crash on it reacted nicely and fast. But no reason to trade in my sublime text yet :)

A 3 line file, be it long lines, shouldn't happen

Personally, no, i don't want a webserver managing my servers. But i surely hope not the same mistakes or security issues arise that happened for webmin.

i don't know, i know i have a bad one, as after 15+ mins of cycling, when i get off the bicycle... can't describe it differently.. my balls sleep... and i can describe that that is not a pleasant feeling. e.g. 10 fold worse then a sleeping foot or leg.

New comment by thinkMOAR in "Google AMP Is a Threat to the Open Web"

I miss the 'ads' part of AMP in the article? One of the main goals is to serve ads better/faster.

"The AMP Project is an open-source initiative aiming to make the web better for all. The project enables the creation of websites and ads that are consistently fast, beautiful and high-performing across devices and distribution platforms."
