on: Australia is introducing age checks for search engines like Google
Kids will just ask strangers to verify the age for them or use a strangers token. I can see the WhatsApp token swapping groups already, you know just the sort of place children will meet actually dangerous people.

It does double up as emergency mace if you happen to get into some medieval combat while at the office.

on: Britain is building one of the world’s most expensive railways
I live close to the line so drive past most days. They have been building a bridge over where the track will run (no track at all yet) for 5 years. Oh and the bridge a little further up they built in wrong place so had to remove it and start again. So yeah this is the level of speed and quality we will see.

on: Merging Remix and React Router
I too was put off Remix because of react-router, it actually looks pretty good but I was holding off to see if they rewrote the entire thing in The future, and they did!
One of my biggest problems with router was not only the constant api changes but the docs being unsearchable because you are never sure which version people are talking about, making all discourse about it a waste of time.
We await the outcome of the react framework wars, I still think react is wrong requiring frameworks to supplement its framework.

on: Google dragged to UK watchdog over Chrome's upcoming IP address cloaking
The anti abuse points from their github do not sound convincing to me. There will be a high value in farming accounts to either spam or attack. What do you do when the google proxy is dosing your service?

on: Web Environment Integrity API Proposal
I could imagine governments getting behind this, there are a few proposed laws that require age verification, like the online safety bill in the UK. You could easily see them adding age verification on top of this proposal.

on: Why Britain doesn’t build
They just built over 1000 homes near me, but not one dentist or doctors. Now the small local surgeries are expected to take these new households on. Again government policy not holding up to community needs.

The curse of the engineer, always looking at the worst possible outcome :) I have to work hard not to bring this into my non-work life.

on: UK ditches ban on 'legal but harmful' online content
I was checking out one of the UK firms providing “age assurance”, turns out the directors also had a PPE firm now disbanded of course. That’s all you need to know about this bill…

on: Real-world HTTP/2: 400GB of images per day
I thought that HTTP/2 didn't fix head-of-line blocking and this was why QUIC (
https://www.chromium.org/quic) existed.
From the project page:
Key features of QUIC over existing TCP+TLS+HTTP2 include
* Dramatically reduced connection establishment time
* Improved congestion control
* Multiplexing without head of line blocking
* Forward error correction
* Connection migration
