$1000/yr for diapers is definitely possible. You and I may have the luxury of purchasing diapers in bulk, but for many people (such as the young woman in the article), 32 diapers for 10 bucks is reality.
1) Performance - Yes, it LOADS fast, but MANY pages "feel" janky, when scrolling, especially pages that allow you to load additional accords by scrolling left/right. Only the simplest pages don't "jank" on my device.
2) Scrolling - It isn't the native scroll. It seems to be a div with "overflow-scrolling" applied. Other than that feeling "off", it prevents the bottom toolbar from hiding, reducing screen real estate.
3) Sharing URLs.
4) Biggest: No way to opt-out. I'm a fan of the open web. It's why I prefer a website to a sandboxed experience you get with native apps. At least for the first click on Google SERP pages, I'm "stuck" with google.com.
One note: I get the AMP use case, and I'm sure there are users who prefer AMP pages for the performance they see. However, I'm fortunate enough to live in an area with decent mobile speed/bandwidth, and loading the original pages are rarely "slow" on my device. However, the originals all address the issues I noted above. I'll take the .5-1 second delay for the original(s), over the AMP version.
As others have mentioned, our prisons are not predominately filled with people of color (although, I'm sure many people would believe that to be). A bit more diversity would definitely be nice ;)
I personally started off animating in Macromedia Director. I played around with Lingo. I moved to Flash / Actionscript and loved the change. In a similar fashion, I'm totally excited about the future of Animation / Games (and how Canvas plays into that). There have been some huge strides by vendors and developers to improve animation and gaming on the web, and I suspect that will continue before Flash is EoL.
Flash being discontinued makes me sad, but purely in a sentimental way - I'm very excited about what comes next :)
:(
Personally, I don't need application aware function keys (sure, emojis are cool in messages...) and would love an option for the 15" MBP to have physical keys, similar to the 13" option...
Supposedly it's Under Review. Hopefully, the next release has it.

The offer still stands though, if you'd like to try: https://twitter.com/DefuseSec/status/730904219419443200
Pure speculation, of course, but man would I like to be a fly on THAT wall...

Supposedly, it boosts saturation of colors to create "vivid" and "bright" worlds.
I'd love to try them.
I guess it's similar to lane splitting by motorcycles. Moving from a state where this is illegal to one where it's legal was a shock (although I see a ton of people lane splitting at insanely dangerous speeds...)
While not bitcoin, I played around with dogecoin for a while (I was tipped about 3000 doge on reddit for a post). Right before Christmas, dogewallet was hacked (where I had transferred my doges to). Some good folk over at reddit band together to work on helping out those of us who were hacked. I create a new wallet, and then submit my info for donation doges.
A week or so later, they send me 3000 doges. I didn't realize until I checked my account (a few days after it was sent) that they had sent them. Here's the interesting part - less than an hour after they had sent it to me, those 3000 doges were immediately withdrawn and sent to another address.
Thankfully, I was playing around with Doge (so the value was all of a dollar fifty), but the entire thing turned me off. If this was bitcoin, or if I had actual money invested, I would have lost my investment TWICE.
I like to think I'm some what technically savvy, but in that moment, I realized I had no clue what the hell had happened. Trying to imagine my parents working with bitcoin...never.
If I ask my mom or dad about bitcoin, they won't think "decentralized crypto currency", but "isn't that what they used on that silkroad site I heard about on Fox News a while back??"
