'Heck of a stretch': Judge grills DOJ over Trump deportation flights
(abcnews-go-com.cdn.ampproject.org)
Thanks. Crazy how AMP was supposed to make it faster but instead it’s twice as slow.
In summary, it claims that Google falsely told publishers that adopting AMP would enhance load times, even though the company’s employees knew that it only improved the “median of performance” and actually loaded slower than some speed optimization techniques publishers had been using. It alleges that AMP pages brought 40% less revenue to publishers. The complaint states that AMP’s speed benefits “were also at least partly a result of Google’s throttling. Google throttles the load time of non-AMP ads by giving them artificial one-second delays in order to give Google AMP a ‘nice comparative boost.‘”
The main reason so many news sites adopted AMP is because it was a requirement from Google for articles to qualify for their Top Stories. As soon as that requirement was removed the number of non-AMP links spiked and has been rising ever since.
Fuck Google.

This will be the one to watch I think. Let's see how the DOJ and Trump try to extracate themselves from this ballsy judge's grasp.
Scotus will allow it
Scotus can't save him from being GRILLED and SLAMMED! Don't worry guys, panini politics will save us again!
Maybe not. The voted against another instance of him ignoring the court. The fact that they already ruled against it, and they aren't changing course means the courts will have no power at all if they don't start sticking to their guns
Um. Mr Trump and his crew simply ignore the ruling.
Why did they shave all of their hair? The photo also seems to be deliberately staged to dehumanize the detained.
It's an embarrassing effort for the agents to LARP as what they think are badass future cops.
And it's about as cool as LARP ing as a wizard
LARPing as a wizard and not destroying lives is cool as fuck, actually. Having fun in a wholesome/safe/non-invasive way is the coolest goddamn thing you can do to recharge.
This is the opposite of being a wizard.
I believe that's what they do in the El Salvadorian prison system as of late.
