Leave No Trace and The Rider look amazing. Thanks for sharing.
pk22··on Disney's movie dominance has a dark side, independent theatre warns
Same here in my poor country. It's either superhero or ultra-action movies or nothing. I still dream to watch a nice drama movie in a cinema.
pk22··on Chinese companies building numerous overseas coal plants
Agree. We could use anything to have uninterrupted power for 24 hours. Although coal plants are being build but current government is also investing in hydel, solar and wind farms. I think coal will be a short term fix while we sort out economy and then focus more on renewables.

pk22··on China About to Start $35B of Silk Road Plan in Pakistan
I am from Pakistan and I really wish it was the US. I wish they had spent 1/10th of the money on development they spent on the war. This could have been something that brought stability and more US influence in the region. I think China will reap all the benefits now.

Maybe I am in the minority here, but I like to enjoy design, the placement of the content, the choice of fonts and custom article designs for featured contents, etc. My point is that efforts should be focused on optimizing the speed but still maintaining the richness and individuality of the Web.
pk22··on Google May Be Stealing Mobile Traffic
Would you rather have an internet where every website has a design like an article from Wikipedia? Google is probably in their right to highlight pages using AMP (it's their search engine) but probably unfair.
