…of the W3C, "people" == "companies", an equivalence that works as US legal fiction but never in the real world) because they're expressing their economic interests in agreement on thorny, market-focused issues. The W3C, as an organ, has grown out of an IETF alternative into a critical mediator in the flow of ideas and technology in the web ecosystem. When it fails, we're starved of progress because nothing else can easily grow in its place. Bless Hixie and …
…myriad players, including advertisers, publishers and data brokers. This debate took off here in the US with a report published by our Federal Trade Commission and it has focused primarily around opting out of behavioral advertising. The recent implementation of the ePrivacy Directive in the EU has now pushed the debate into other parts of the world, as well as other types of tracking.

…and talking about IE10, they were only showing operating system market share in the US (which naturally is a completely different number). I do hope that they keep paying attention the worldwide number, and that that was just for the context-specific presentation.

Another aspect of web font performance is the size of an individual font file. We in the United States are pretty spoiled when it comes to web fonts since our alphabet has only 26 letters and a few punctuation marks. Adam pointed out that Asian character sets are much large, and so font files can be as large as 4-5 MB per file. So if you're thinking about using non-standard fonts for Asian web sites, you may want to think again before imposing this on your users.

…location (seek) 8,000,000 nanosec read 1MB sequentially from disk 20,000,000 nanosec send packet US to Europe and back 150 milliseconds = 150,000,000 nanosec
That data's a bit old — 8ms is optimistic for a HD seek these days, and SSD changes things — but the orders of magnitude are relevant. For mobile, we also need to know: fetch from flash storage 1,300,000 nanosec 60hz time slice 16,000,000 nanosec send packet outside of a ( US) mobile carrier network and back 80-800 milliseconds …
