Re:Google Pagespeed Test Fails Itself on Mobile on Wednesday November 18, 2015 @12:02AM (#10586013)
Amazes me how much weighting people sometimes put in these type of tools, and start panicking because they enter a website they work on and it comes back with some red text.

Have had jobs where random marketing colleagues email the developers along the lines of "Why do we only score 7/10 in this test, 45.5% in this test, and 2 critical issues were found in this test?"

Don't get me wrong, they are useful, but people act the same way they would if their virus scanner found their computer was completely comprised. Unless the tools have a major tangible impact in something that affects the business, ie. SEO, I tend to ignore them unless they are a simple fix.

Yes. Just some general points or examples.

Same thing as before, you've stated it's ugly, but haven't given any specific examples of why you think this.
Re:Alleged leak of more than 5M Gmail accounts on Wednesday September 10, 2014 @02:27AM (#8295191)
Are you being serious? Next time you search google, would you rather they display 5,000,000 results on one page and you Ctrl+F the response?
I remember this, is it this site?

Let's all add an external javascript file to our site, that will sure stop the tracking.

"Every programmer needs Perl in their arsenal."

I stopped reading at this point.

From the google post about why they don't display images by default: "We did this to protect you from unknown senders who might try to use images to compromise the security of your computer or mobile device."

Surely it's this same technology google themselves use more than anyone else to identify users?

Because this is a different invention.

The post office.

If everyone has to go to a certain place to get these items, we could invent a revolutionary new idea.

The shop.
