(Checkboxes are my progress so far, posting this while I’m donating. UPDATE: All done!)

*Why you must act TODAY: it’s the last day of 2016. By donating today, you MAY*** be able to itemize your donations and deduct them from your 2016 Federal taxes.

**Disclosure: I work for Mozilla, on open web standards like @microformats @W3C @WHATWG, user web identity & data sovereignty @IndieWebCamp, and raising privacy & security concerns for technologies in general.


Reasoning (how this helps RESIST)

In general such donations help by shifting money you would be paying in Federal taxes to a hostile administration, instead*** toward nonprofits to fight harms expected from that administration.

Specifically, to support and fund:

* Science education to fight anti-sci (climate denial, antivaxers), largest macro threats to cities, the world:
 * @CalAcademy @Exploratorium

* Defenders of civil rights, in-person, body self-determination, women’s rights, digital rights, and an open, secure, & user-privacy respecting internet to fight attacks on all of them, largest threats to individuals and liberty:
 * @ACLU @PPact @EFF @Mozilla

* Archives, libraries, accessible facts to fight fake-news, historical revisionism, and other kinds of deception & propaganda, perhaps the largest source of political threats to democracies:
 * @InternetArchive @Wikipedia

* Local arts & media, diversity of thoughtful expression, to counter superficial talking tv heads / radio talkshows and their hateful monocultures:
 * e.g. in SF: @deYoungMuseum @SFMOMA


More reasoning as noted yesterday: tantek.com/2016/365/t7/harms-expected-donate-shift-fight-resist

***You "MAY" and "instead" meaning by way of an itemized deduction on your Federal taxes, per the following (talk to your accountant, get one, IANAA, etc.)

Suggest more non-profits to help defend against & fight next year’s expected harms!

Got up late for #NPSF, went anyway. Not a bad view for Friday flats. #latergram #nofilter.

Slept badly, didn't want to get up to the alarms. Eventually it was 6amish and I stumbled into running clothes in the dark, grabbed my prepacked work bag and got a ride to Pier 7.

Jumped in and did maybe 10 min of squats, sprints, push-ups, planks. Coffee for breakfast. Went to work. Hard boiled eggs for second breakfast. Took care of a few year end things. Cheese pizza for lunch.

Left work before sunset, got in a 20 minute run back up the Embarcadero to the Exploratorium, down to SFMOMA, then over to Westfield. That'll do for today.

One more sunrise of 2016 tomorrow, the rare 366th day of the year (with an even rarer leap second at 23:59:60Z, 15:59:60 PST).

2016 will have been our literally longest year in a while.

Short of a total #Calexit (@YesCalifornia @Vote_CNP @calexitdreaming @CalExitAmerica) cut Fed taxes paid, essentially cutting California income drain to an expectedly hostile Federal administration, as one incremental and likely powerful step.

If blue-state taxpayers expect Fed taxes will not fund Fed budget of state/city projects, then minimizing Federal taxes paid using any and all legal methods available is a reasonable pre-emptive tactic, including for tax year 2016 NOW.

@carlmalamud “often” feels unreliable in 2016.
Exec branch/appointees can slow/block disbursal, despite budget alloc.

21d. I expect huge cuts (down to 0?) in Federal funding of blue state projects e.g. SF @Central_Subway. More: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Subway says:

“The project is funded primarily through the Federal Transit Administration’s New Starts program.”

and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Transit_Administration notes:

“Headed by an Administrator who is appointed by the President of the United States, the FTA functions through a Washington, D.C. …”

Thus a newly appointed FTA Administrator could presumably cut or delay such funding, arbitrarily.

Post #NPSF yoga posing in the park, as #yogisofnp do. #nofilter

#NP_LAX traverballer Bri Wickland and I ran to Alta Plaza park this morning, all psyched to do PR Wednesday but our leader subs had other plans. The run dance run dance-off repeat workout they came up with was creative and quite fun it turned out.

After workout, group photo, and announcements, the sun had still not risen, so we took the opportunity to yoga pose, backlit by a clear & colorful dawn sky.

3 weeks ago: my last race of 2016, 2nd #ECSCA, cut 12 sec despite a colder start. #latergram #nofilter

2016 has been a challenging recovery year, in more ways than one. This was the first race this year where I finally felt I could trust my knees post-injury recovery.

The air was cold enough for me (high 40s F) that I had to breathe through a buff for about the first half (left photo), having learned that hard lesson days before at an #NPSF PR Wednesday DNF from inhaling too much cold air. (tantek.com/t4ka1)

I was first in my marathon relay team and started out at a fairly moderate pace (for me), getting passed by lots of friends on the 1 mile flat leading up to the climb.

I felt surprisingly strong on the hill, miles 1-3.7 (~900' of the total 1348' elevation gain). The passing slowed then stopped. In the second half of the hill, as it got steeper and I alternated running / power-hiking, I started gaining on some runners, and by the time I reached the aid station at the peak, had passed ~3-4. Having brought my own electrolytes, I didn't stop, slowing just enough to high five @LindsayMclaughs at the top.

On the downhill I opened up and picked up speed, passing many more, as I tried to focus on one brief stable foothold after another. It felt more like a barely controlled fall than a run. Only one misstep where I almost twisted an ankle.

The end of the downhill abruptly turned flat, slightly uphill and I could tell I had raced those 2 downhill miles perhaps a bit too hard.

I felt uncoordinated on the remaining slightly uphill flat, having lost nearly any sense of rhythm in my pace. I tried to focus on consistent breathing, and was able to show a good solid push for the photographer (photo on the right), kicking hard to keep the pace up.

The trail eventually returned to the asphalt road with about half a mile left, and steepened a bit too. Somehow that was just enough to knock out any momentum I had left. I had to run/walk nearly one for one minute. Got passed by my pal @bifflesbolt, and no matter how hard I pushed I couldn’t quite catch her.

As I reached the final minor peak before the slight downhill to the finish, I could hear friends shouting my name which was just enough to get me to dig a little deeper and push to run up that last hill.

I caught my breath briefly on the turn onto the final straight, feeling my legs moving on autopilot at this point. Then I saw a full height ninja turtle shouting my name.

@BradenEngel, dressed in a Leonardo onesie, was full on jumping & cheering and started running next to me, just as my muscles felt like they could seize any moment. I did my best to put on a good face and just keep the pace I had.

He peeled off just before the downhill to the relay switching area. Seeing my teammate waiting, I sprinted the last downhill and came to an abrupt stop right next to her. @SallyKallet deftly pulled the ankle bracelet tracker off me, velcroed it on and took off like a lightning bolt.

I stood there hunched over hands on knees still catching my breath for maybe 10 more seconds, got up, and finished walking to the finishers area, picking up my medal, and accepting any and all hugs before filling up with complimentary electrolytes and snacks.

I was sure I’d beaten my previous time (from the same race two years ago), and only much later found out it was only by 12 seconds! (tantek.com/t4kd2) Still, this was the first race post-recovery where I actually set a personal course record and that was a huge confidence boost. Just months before, this past July I ran the first half of the SF Marathon about four minutes slower than I did two years ago. (tantek.com/t4ig4)

@TheNorthFace Endurance Challenge Series (@TheNorthFaceECS) California (#ECSCA) felt like a solid finish to my 2016 racing season, going reasonable well despite what felt like an awkward struggle at the end.

2017 races are coming up quickly. My next race is a 15k road race (my first) in two weeks, and then after that I’m looking at running the Surf City Half Marathon in February, which I last ran in 2015. (tantek.com/t4_T2) Just enough time to train up to half marathon (or slightly farther) distance by mid to late January.

Taking it easy this weekend resting, reflecting, and being grateful that careful & patient training this past year has brought me to a place where I can train & race harder, stronger, and hopefully faster in the coming year.

@brendonjwilson WADR
“adorable” sounds condescending (no need)
“stop them” implies false dichotomy

Counter: Potential positive effects, even if incremental, are desirable, useful, and thus may be sufficient to take such actions (engraving etc.), e.g. a few:

* Awareness / reminder — to anyone who sees it, about the Fourth Amendment’s (4A) existence, and a real example use thereof.

* Appeal to moral duty — chance that a Federal officer may be reminded of their oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” https://archive.opm.gov/constitution_initiative/oath.asp possibly more importantly than “just following orders”, and possibly take or resist action accordingly (lots of potential positive leeway there, with small discretionary decisions)

* Normalization — the more people see a message openly citing the 4A, the more it seems normal to do so, normal to (at least attempt to) exercise the rights therein.

* Cross-support from other amendment supporters — “4A” may seem similar enough to those who see and recognize and defend “1A” or “2A” or “5A” etc. to also support and possibly propagate the support themselves.


Rejecting something because “That will [or won’t] stop them” is poor reasoning (nearly no battle is won by any particular stop or not), and frankly, a defeatist framing bordering on disuasive propaganda (like the Borg’s “Resistance is futile”)

Much more on why such reasoning is outright wrong from a practical point of view is well summarized by the alternative strategy of Defence in depth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_in_depth

8:59 timed track mile in 42F (5.6C) with #NPSF* runners. Then we made a tree. 📷 @butteronadonut #nofilter

This was a tough one. I learned a few weeks ago @nov_project_sf that I can't run very far breathing low 40s Fahrenheit air (first PR Wednesday DNF after two laps).

Despite several laps and other warmup drills this morning, I had to wear a buff covering my mouth and nose the whole time. Then I ran a mile, breathing through the buff the entire way til it slipped down when I sprinted the final straight with everything I had left.

It took me 7 minutes just to complete the first three laps, each much slower than 2 min per.

I knew that I still had a chance at a sub 2 min lap if I could focus on breathing first and picking up the pace second. I counted down every 100 on that last 400, consciously picking up the pace on each segment.

As I rounded the final curve, another guy doing his own thing on the track passed me, but not running that much faster. Somehow that helped and I picked up the pace another notch.

When I reached the final straight I already knew that fourth lap would be the fastest I'd run today. I was breathing fine so I pushed harder, kicked harder, swung my arms farther and started gaining on that mystery guy.

We had started our timed mile on even :00 seconds on a clock inside the track at the start, and I saw the seconds read :58 as I reached the finish. I heard someone yell “Made it by a second!” As I crossed the finish line.

8:59. A lot slower than my 7:23 PR. But sub-9 was my goal today and I'm happy with it. Never done a mile flat out in 42F before and that was my first since knee recovery. Small victories, but I'll take them.

Lava rocks will cut you they said. Let’s go I said. #lava #trailrun #3 #latergram #nofilter

Many people warned us not to walk on the lava fields because of how sharp the rocks were. So we ran.

Last Tuesday when fellow trail runner Gregg Lind and I came upon this trail on and through the lava fields we chose to split off from the 20 or so other #MozAloha runners and explored otherworldly landscapes while they kept to the pavement.

Two days later it rained and I missed the other runners so I ran out here again, but alone, in the rain, and got completely soaked.

Yesterday morning it was finally sunny again, and instead of going for an easy swim at the beach, I was drawn back to the challenge of these trails for a third time, and to see how much faster I could run them. Made the loop around and back in a fraction of the time.

Grateful for running the trails with #NPSF friends back home most Saturdays with #SFRC. Looking forward to more of that when I return and into the new year.

The weekend was too short.
Yester: nice hike to Pu'u Wa'awa'a peak
Today: another lava trail run, and ukelele lessons!

best idea at #MozAloha from @lime124:
Consumer reports like #IoT device directory with security, privacy, data ownership details, technically accurate information beyond the usual manufacturer & feature sets, like (we brainstormed a bit):

* interoperability level, from none (100% proprietary) to moderate (with a few companies) to what standards it supports
* who owns the data gathered by the device (ToS etc.)
* where is the data stored (on device, local network, cloud, etc.)
* is the data encrypted where it is stored
* when was it introduced
* any recalls or when withdrawn from the market
* date of last software update
* how to patch the device yourself, e.g. with open source
* any known compromises (theoretical, shown in a lab, in the wild)
* ever used in an attack, e.g. a DDoS
* how easily can it be disconnected from the internet
* how to physically disable its internet connectivity
* can it perform its primary function while offline
* what is its offline behavior
* additional benefits it has from being connected to the internet
* or what functionality do you lose if you disconnect it
* potential harms if it is compromised
  * can it surveil you, if so, what kinds of sensors
  * what data about you would be compromised
  * how much energy could it consume
* any other criticisms or dangers reported in technical reviews

There is no such directory of internet of things / web of things devices like this out there as far as I can tell from a bit of searching.

It would be possible to start such a directory perhaps with a domain, MediaWiki, and some templates for the above details per device, citing specific technical review articles or security reports for each detail. Having it be crowd sourced (like Wikipedia) would help it stay up to date.

Closest thing I found was a directory of IoT manufacturers and service providers: iot-directory.com

But a directory of devices in particular is what is needed with such details per device to help users make more informed purchase decisions, assess risks better, and perhaps even know when to dispose of a device (e.g. when it has known vulnerabilities and there are no more software updates).

With that mass location surveillance warning, that’s enough tech warning posts for today. Time to post nice photos.

#MozAloha @bz_moz linked post on Google AdWords user location tracking is mass surveillance vuln to state abuse.

Article claims:

“Google never shares personal location information to anyone at an individual level.”

However, they do share location information at an aggregated level, and that requires that they *track* “personal location information” at an “individual level” internally and use that to recompute summaries provided to AdWords clients.

Whatever such information is tracked (and who knows how long it’s kept), expected that a court order or other state pressure can get access to it.

Re: survl, @bz_moz showed me http://searchengineland.com/hood-google-adwords-measures-store-visits-222905 which implies Google tracks detailed location (via Android, Maps)

Too big for Twitter, too short for Instagram.

#Twitter won’t let me POSSE last night’s Homebrew Website Club SF #animated #GIF because:

“Image file size must be <= 5242880 bytes” (in a JSON error structure, GIF size is ~6MB)

and #Instagram won’t let me post the animated GIF as an MP4 because:

“Video must be 3 seconds or more”


So I'm posting the #screenshot of the Instagram #error #message instead, and then POSSEing that to Twitter.

3 Subversion

This transition will be orders of magnitude worse than Clinton->GeorgeW for those that remember. Nixon is another comparison.

Brought nephew2(9) to #NPSF #hillsforbreakfast this morning. #nofilter 📷 Laura McCloskey Green.

Thanks especially to @taraewall for taking good care of him, @DeanKarnazes for the personal words of encouragement, @poleary87 for his bridge tag, and everyone else for all the high fives.

When Dean asked him what he was thankful for, he said “living”.

Nephew2 crushed 2 hill repeats and had a great time. I told him he earned his #novemberproject buff, gave it to him afterwards and he’s been wearing it ever since.

ran Spartan Turkey Trot 5k in 31:27 (MV, CA; 4°C)
niece(6) & nephew2(9) both set PRs with 30:50!

Nephew2 started with my dad, and my niece started with me. I tried to keep up with her but after about half a mile she started to pull away and I was unable to keep up! About 20 meters ahead of me she kept turning around and grinning, pleased with herself and perhaps rubbing it in.

We passed my dad and nephew2 (they had started a few seconds earlier), and nephew2 caught up to me. I told him (with what little breath I had) that I could not keep up with her and that he should run and catch his sister.

They apparently alternated running fast and "taking it easy" (maybe even walking?) until the final half lap around the Mountain View High track to the finish. 30:27. They’re both determined to get sub-30 next year.

This was my first 5k race since I hurt my knee exactly a year ago, 2 days after I set a half marathon PR at the Berkeley Half (tantek.com/t4eQ1). It was also the coldest race I have ever run (39°F / 4°C), and despite wearing my @Nov_Project buff over my neck and mouth, had trouble breathing the cold air. I’m back to my race pace being breathing limited.

Despite everything, it was still my second fastest 5k race (and Turkey Trot). And perhaps best of all, zero knee problems for the entire race.

My niece and nephew2 were waiting at the finish line jumping up and down cheering me in, having finished less than 40 seconds ahead of me.

We chatted and waited for my dad, heard the race announcers say his name, city, and incredulously his age. 38:18.

This was the fifth Turkey Trot in a row that we have done as a family. fourth overall for me (skipped last year due to injury), and third in a row for my niece (who did her first two years ago in ~40min) and nephew2. Nephew1 skipped this one to instead cook some dishes for Thanksgiving. My dad has run all five years.

Pretty darn grateful we are all able to enjoy this activity across three generations.

🌴🌇 The sunrise after #NPSF doublegang looked extra bright despite the storm clouds. #latergram #nofilter

Made it to @nov_project_sf early gang a few minutes late but finished all sets all the same. Did 9 more of each exercise (push-ups, leg lifts, tri dips, air squats) to round it up to 100 of each.

Stayed for "normal" NPSF at 6:25 and took this photo just after.

There's a noticeable difference between ~30 minutes of NP (which alone feels great), and resting briefly then doing ~30 minutes more.

At least for me, I breathe easier and more fully, everything seem brighter, sounds seem more detailed, and smells & tastes are more intense. I feel more confident, capable, and resilient. I have a feeling the coming months & years will require all of that.

🌲🌇 I missed #NPSF this morning, caught the sunrise anyway. #latergram #nofilter

Despite doing my 6-7am(ish) W3C Advisory Board telcon from Starbucks near the Marina Safeway in the hopes of at least joining late, by the time the call & followup was over, so was the workout.

Drove to near Ghirardelli Square anyway and walked down to Aquatic Park to watch the sun rise behind the buildings. Then grabbed breakfast with a few that did workout.

Despite missing the workout, I think it’s important to practice getting up, dressed to workout, and getting yourself to or near the location. That’s the hardest part, to #justshowup, and I think it’s worth practicing even if other things keep you away from the workout itself.

Plus, catch that sunrise. Going to need all the sunrises we can get.

Reminder to self & friends:

Be kind, be respectful, be the grown-up.

It was a bad week. Things will get considerably worse before they will get better.

Ok to criticize (punch) upwards, the powerful, and power structures.

Not ok to punch each other, physically or verbally, and especially not ok, toward those less privileged than you (which also means be more accepting and sympathetic of frustrations from those less privileged).

For unknowns with a pattern of rude posts, and especially with default (egg), fake, cartoon, or otherwise anon icons, it’s ok to be direct & curt with them, without dropping to their level of rudeness.

And it’s ok (good) to block those that consistently behave abusively.

Your time is better spent on real people trying to be real, instead of those taking potshots from silos. There’s too much important work to be done ASAP to get distracted.

That being said, take the time to be patient and extra kind to people in person. Lots of people are hurting deeply, many perhaps more than you personally.

Take the time to look people in the eyes and ask them how are they doing, wait, listen, and acknowledge their answers. Treat service people extra kindly in this regard, as they’re likely getting the brunt of people’s frustrations this week.

@shofey you say “like a decent human” then ask to “get over” sexism, racism. None of that is decent. Got principles?

@christi3k @Withknown is quite usable, more than @WordPress, nice mobile UX. Great design & code by @erinjo @benwerd.

Ok @Google, organizer of world’s information, where’s the list of all of Donald Trump’s campaign speeches and transcripts so we can document, quote, cite, count, tabulate, and clearly show the pattern of sexist, racist, xenophobic, and otherwise bigoted statements, not to mention anti-science e.g. anti-vax & climate-change-denying claptrap?

@BradleyHolt @heathr unfortunately agreed, today.
@kevinmarks advocating POSSE is more effective when POSSEd like this

Worst events I’ve seen happen in US:
1 Sep11
2 Trump election by Electoral College
3 GeorgeW election by Supreme Court

@christi3k I think that’s a false dichotomy.
#indieweb tools are more usable to more people every year.
A plurality of projects is more sustainable and resilient than silos¹ or monocultures².

¹ indieweb.org/silos, e.g. ello.co and before that identi.ca
² indieweb.org/monoculture, e.g. tent.io

All had hopeful surges of interest, followed by disappointment, shrinking, and eventual abandonment.

All such efforts are unsustainable and doomed.

No one new site or open source project will solve this. We need to move beyond such “panacea” assumptions, and accept the hard work of a plurality of indieweb/decentralized approaches and solutions that interoperate with open standards.

That hard work starts with each one of us who can do it today, not waiting for someone else to build something tomorrow.

Help make a difference *today* by starting with yourself, your site, your posting behavior.

Set an example, like by posting all your tweets/notes to christiekoehler.com instead of or before posting them to Twitter. And at the same time, help document and raise awareness of what could be better, easier, friendlier, for you, for all users.

The https://indieweb.org/ community actively makes user experience a priority for all and is here to help you do all of that (including openly documenting all opportunities for improvement).

https://indieweb.org/principles

There are already tens of thousands of such indieweb sites that federate with each other today. That number has grown >10x each year since the small handful of us that got federating working among our personal sites in 2013. We are dedicated to continuing to grow, with more projects and better usability across the board, which is how we will reach and empower more people, incrementally, sustainably, each year.

@shofey #doublestandard: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/larry-womack/stop-pretending-you-dont-_b_12191766.html
Nothing clean/decent about Trump’s words about women, minorities, etc

Day after #Brexit I posted:
tantek.com/2016/177/t1/brexit-shroud-dark-side-fallen
Losing so many states, it’s not clear what any one individual outside the campaign could have done differently to alter the outcome.

However, one individual may have altered the outcome: James Comey

History here:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/08/opinion/the-question-for-james-comey.html

Summary timeline:

2016-301 (October 27th) Polls showed an 8%+ lead for Clinton, enough to win the election if not potentially in a landslide.

2016-302 (October 28th) Comey informed Congress of new emails “that ‘appear to be pertinent’”, which the media gleefully reported across the board, fanning the #doublestandard against Clinton.

Within days, Clinton’s lead in the polls dropped to 3% (where they remained til the election), with no other new information about the candidates. That drop can only be attributed to Comey’s announcement.

2016-311 (November 6th) Comey informed Congress that the new emails added no new information.

For NINE of the remaining ELEVEN days before the election early voters went to the polls with doubts about Clinton, doubts amplified by a double standard¹.

2016-314  (November 9th) Clinton wins popular vote by ~1%, loses Electoral College², despite polls up to the last minute showing she had a ~3% edge.

If we conclude from that outcome that the polls had an error of ~2% towards Clinton, then before Comey raised doubts with new emails, Clinton would have had an error adjusted lead of ~6%, more than enough to swing many if not all of the rust belt states she lost by maybe ~1%.

Comey’s premature announcement on October 28th, so close to election day, very likely singlehandedly swung the election, given all other factors in play.


But let's not let that ~2% apparent error in the polls slide.

For more on the problems with the polls, and what is to be done with them, see danah boyd’s essays:
* “Reality check: I blame the media.” https://points.datasociety.net/reality-check-de447f2131a3
* “Media: End Reporting on Polls” https://points.datasociety.net/media-end-reporting-on-polls-c9b5df705b7f


Lastly, that underestimation of the rust belt states support for Trump is something that film-maker Michael Moore warned us about.

Watch this clip from his recent film Michael Moore in TrumpLand, and read the transcript as well:

http://www.democracynow.org/2016/11/7/michael_moore_if_elected_donald_trump


Was there anything any one individual (besides Comey) could have done to alter any of these? No, I don't think so. All of these point to larger, longer term problems that left us vulnerable to the same forces that brought about Brexit, with a similar outcome.

@mark_up with all due respect, disagree:
1 Can’t know “can't accept”
2 Absolute “reasons to dislike” is not the question, but rather weighing reasons to like (or dislike) candidates vs each other.

Thank you for your responses as well, and in particular your level of civil challenging / disagreement / discourse. Very much appreciated.

@mark_up popular≠bubble.
#Clinton leads #Election2016 votes: nytimes.com/elections/results/president
#ElectoralCollege is becoming not only a broken bias in modern US presidential campaigns towards a handful of states but increasingly an obstacle to solving even larger problems. E.g. no chance of US fighting global warming while short-sighted rust belt / coal industry has disproportionate impact on presidential elections.

Yet the fact that there was anything short of a landslide for Hillary Clinton indicates deeper problems. Will check out that @MMFlint video.

I believe the biggest is this (and those complicit in it, i.e. most of the media): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/larry-womack/stop-pretending-you-dont-_b_12191766.html

Today is my 10th Twitterversary.
For ~6.8 years of that 10, my tweets have come from my site: tantek.com

Google Search date-based search stopped working (0 results), so I switched to @DuckDuckGo site-search. More:

Things DuckDuckGo shows that Google Search does not:
* 😄 emoji in search result summaries
* 👤 author/icon of a post

Compare searches for "site:tantek.com Before Tomorrowland" in each.

Note also that Google Search has taken other steps backward (e.g. dropped support for rel=author).

For those that value privacy, less tracking, etc. note that DuckDuckGo is also “The search engine that doesn't track you” https://duckduckgo.com/about

I’ve been using DuckDuckGo (which also offers an HTML-only version that works without JavaScript!) as my default search provider in Firefox for some time now, and the results have been quite good, including being much faster than Google Search.

These reasons are sufficient to switch from Google Search to DuckDuckGo:
* Good enough search results
* MUCH faster page loading including links to results
* HTML version that does not require Javascript

And yes, DuckDuckGo’s HTML-only version is FASTER than Google Search’s (now) bloated Javascript-required site.

I remember when I switched to Google for web search over a decade ago because Google was faster and good enough compared to Yahoo! Search.

Now DuckDuckGo is faster and good enough compared to Google Search.

Kudos Google Maps: US Election day reminder & polling places for #Everyonein2016:
From https://www.google.com/maps.

When you click the blue SHOW ME button, it sends you to a Google Search Results page with a "onebox" for finding your polling place:


And once you enter your address and press return or click the magnifying glass it will show you a map of where to vote with additional information.


In comparison:
* maps.bing.com: no such prompt
* www.mapquest.com: no such prompt
* maps.yahoo.com: redirects to a Yahoo Search for the word “maps”. I had no idea Yahoo Maps was shutdown (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Maps#Shutdown)

Well done Google with letting everyone (presumably in the US) know that “Election day is around the corner” and prompting everyone to “Make sure you know your polling place”.

Aside: At some point (recently) Google Maps switched their canonical URL from https://maps.google.com/ to https://www.google.com/maps, dropping yet another use of a subdomain.

Wikipedia entries updated a bit accordingly:
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Maps
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Maps

“If it’s not curlable, it’s not on the web.” 📷 @jkphl
js;dr in print! Thanks to Joschi for the photograph of page 88 of  @heydonworks’s new book “Inclusive Design Patterns”.

From: https://twitter.com/jkphl/status/792452368562618369

This book will last longer than all your fashionable JS frameworks no matter what your coding schools are teaching you. Except maybe jQuery. You can still use jQuery to build reliable web sites.

When I showed this photo yesterday to @adactio, he noted that the quote from my js;dr post:

tantek.com/2015/069/t1/js-dr-javascript-required-dead

“If it’s not curlable, it’s not on the web.”

sounded like something @benward had said in one of his blog posts from long ago. So we both researched it last night and found this post of Ben’s from 2011-02-11 “Hash, Bang, Wallop” https://benward.uk/blog/tumblr-3231388630

In which he notes:

“(It turns out that it was me who wrote “if site content doesn’t load through curl it’s broken”, and I'll stand by that.)”

Where the phrase  “who wrote” links to:

developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2010/10/how-many-users-have-javascript-disabled/#comment-17071

Unfortunately that link now 404s. I assumed it was due to Yahoo shutting down all of YDN and so found this archive.org version instead (as noted tantek.com/2016/311/t1/site-content-load-through-curl)

https://web.archive.org/web/20101016010319/http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2010/10/how-many-users-have-javascript-disabled/#comment-17071

While writing this post, and about to claim that YDN shut down (it did not), I double checked and remnants remained (top level blog URL etc).

There was no archive navigation (I’m not one to talk, I still need to build that on my site, maybe today at IndieWebCamp LA), so I paged through the "Previous" pages of the blog (eventually hacking the URL directly) and found:

“How many users have JavaScript disabled?” https://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/many-users-javascript-disabled-14121.html

Looks like YDN changed their CMS and broke all their permalinks.

This is pretty clear even from their own blog, e.g. the follow-up post to that post:

“Followup: How many users have JavaScript disabled?” https://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/followup-many-users-javascript-disabled-16191.html

Which itself still links to the old permalink of the post it is following-up to.

In addition to breaking all their permalinks, they also removed all their comments, including Ben Ward’s comment, so we still have to go back to the archive.org link:

https://web.archive.org/web/20101016010319/http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2010/10/how-many-users-have-javascript-disabled/#comment-17071

With Ben’s comment, which I’m going to quote in full because it provides a lot of the thinking behind js;dr before I wrote it up, and I figure providing yet another copy will help it stick around:

@BenWard on 2011-10-13:

“One additional piece of information I’d be interested in here is whether the ‘JavaScript disabled’ measure is just that—the user’s browser having a featured turned off—or whether it factors in some scenarios of ‘JavaScript unavailable’. For example, where variable or poor network performance causes external JavaScript to load slowly and execute late, or not at all. And then, how much of an increase that can give to the numbers if it’s possible to factor it in.

“Increasingly, I find that the ‘some users turn off JavaScript’ argument is difficult to make—not because they don’t, your graph illustrates that—but because even presented with percentages, developers are sceptical and evasive of those users (I think there’s a suspicion that the kind of use who might make such a decision to turn off a cool browser feature is not the kind of user that would want their cool product… or something like that, less grossly over-slimplified.) The argument that instead JavaScript-less versions of the pages can be served to anyone if their network degrades is more universal: Not just second or third world scenarios without robust communications infrastructure, but anyone tethering through AT&T in San Francisco. Poor network performance seems to be something that developers relate to more easily than an alien configuration decision.

“Of course, all of this is elaborate: The truth is that if site content doesn’t load through curl it’s broken.”


In particular, Ben’s point about:

“[…] variable or poor network performance causes external JavaScript to load slowly and execute late, or not at all.”

This is really the key behind js;dr.

We still have this problem, six years later.

You CANNOT depend on external JavaScript loading quickly, or at all.

I *just* experienced this, this morning due to bad hotel wifi while trying to write this up! (as noted tantek.com/2016/311/t2/js-dr-pages-not-rendering-bad-hotel-wifi)


Networks are still slow or unreliable, no matter what device you may be using (like a laptop), no matter what country you may be in (here in the US, or in Europe, or elsewhere).


Lessons: make sure your sites and pages:
1. Show content immediately without waiting for ANY external JS.
2. Have meaningful readable text alternatives for all non-decorative images and other embedded content.
