> Just yesterday an HNer was saying they are in Puerto Rico and the vast majority of pages won't load due to bandwidth restrictions - except for HN and one other site I'm forgetting. I would bet you AMP pages would load fine for them. HN loves to hate on page bloat and AMP, confusingly.

If you continue to violate the HN guidelines we are going to ban you. Please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and clean up your act when commenting here.

If calling out attempts to use those suffering the after effects of a natural disaster as props in the defense of Google's shady attempts to lock down the web "violates HN guidelines", maybe it's your guidelines that are the problem.

To be fair, the person you were critiquing was referring to a comment by someone else who had observed the problem from Puerto Rico. Bigger picture implications aside, do we have any reason to believe AMP wouldn’t work as a CDN for folks in such situations?
