But there's nothing on this site once you do disable JavaScript. I was hoping for a 2020 take on a server-side rendered web app.

I see what you did there....

In other news, possibly the best designed website of 2020: http://www.muskfoundation.org/

Doesn’t work with https, which i guess shouldn’t surprise me given it’s sparse nature.

Similar a company with 250 billion USD revenue (2019) https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/

What? :)

>>teknop+u
Even that website uses Javascript though (to add a Yahoo tracking pixel, it looks like. What is there even to track?)

>>teknop+u
No HTTPS tho.

>>s1k3s+P1
Haven't the courts ruled you don't need permission to have a link?

>>mark-r+P2
Didn't even know this was a thing.

Just make sure that all your links are copyrighted works (authored by you of course) and then DMCA anywhere the link appears.

From one of my previous comments in another thread (this past week, probably):

> IANAL

> What I think they mean by this is that you shouldn't link to resources on their website to make it seem like they endorse your (product, website, whatever).

That's so crazy it might just work. I checked an article about copyright protection for short phrases[0] and learnt that a court ruled that the text “I may not be totally perfect, but parts of me are excellent” is protected by copyright. It would thus be possible for the author of that phrase to register:

i-may-not-be-totally-perfect-but-parts-of-me-are-excellent.com

and sue anyone who links to them. Hopefully the author will be so grateful for this insight that they won't sue me for reproducing their copyrighted work in this comment.

It doesn't need https.

>>teknop+6k
Of course it does. Otherwise intermediaries can inject ads, tracking, spoof the content, or even redirect it to a malicious page.

>>mtmail+n1
There's an ad for Geico insurance at the bottom, lol. What's the deal with that?

>>Square+Ql
https does not 100% prevent any of those things.

>>teknop+co
How can someone spoof the page/inject ads if the site is served over https?

They would need to have compromised one of the root certificates on your machine to not give you a giant security warning.

In modern browsers there’s not even a button to bypass them (although I know I chrome you can type “this is unsafe” to a hidden input in the error page and it will let you bypass it temporarily).

>>ciaran+8m
Berkshire Hathaway owns Geico.

>>ciaran+8m
Geico is a BH company.

Right, still a little odd to have...

> FOR A FREE CAR INSURANCE RATE QUOTE THAT COULD SAVE YOU SUBSTANTIAL MONEY WWW.GEICO.COM OR CALL 1-888-395-6349, 24 HOURS A DAY

...on the homepage of a quarter-trillion dollar company, with no other ads.

>>teknop+u
The crazy thing is, it's been like that for YEARS.

>>ciaran+hA
The website is really old in the early days of the web this was normal as you didn’t have the ability to check for these things via google.
