Agreed.

If I somehow end up on a similar looking website, I'd often close it and move on to the next result on Google.

My brain automatically associate that UI with an archive website that probably hasn't been uploaded since 2005ish.

On a side note, I love his blog. Not sure if he's using a platform or not, but love the simplicity of it.

That blog page has 4 requests going: html page, one css file and two images. No tracking, no 50 javascript libraries, nothing.

If anyone know if/what platform hes using, I'm interested. Very clean looking website, very simple. Love it.

Without getting political about this issue, I have a question.

I imagine the reason you're carrying is for self defence, say in the case of an active shooter for example.

Let's say you're able to take down the shooter. During the fiasco that ensures, wouldn't you be afraid of being mistaken as the active shooter by the police? It seems generally they're pretty trigger-happy..

(Again, not to start a political thread about this, I'm just simply curious, coming from a country where we can't carry guns.)

This example proves his point exactly.

I'd rather just type CAD to USD.. or BTC to USD, or any other combination in my address bar than type xe.com, load a bunch of libraries, including Facebook connect. Ghostly reports 6 trackers blocked.

Furthermore, it took 3.45 seconds to load xe.com in Incognito, while google only took 1.1

I for one absolutely agree with you that the web has gotten too bloated, especially news websites, and I salute your initiative for "debloating" your blog. This is a path that more of us should follow.

I think Google's AMP project is a step in the right direction, but it seems to me that it's not adopted enough.

Hello,

I was just wondering why the remote position is only available in the US. I see this quite often and I'm curious what's the reasoning for it. I would imagine it's tax related?

Same in Quebec. I believe other provinces in Canada have similar policies.

$ 0.05 on all non-refillable single-fill containers that are 450 ml or less in size

$ 0.10 on all single-fill and glass containers up to 450 ml size

$ 0.20 on all single-fill containers larger than 450 ml

$ 0.05 for each soft drink container sold

Had problems around 10AM (East Coast Canada) for about half an hour. Videos wouldn't load or the page would load halfway
