At first I thought this is an unusually short news article.

Took me a while to figure out that scrolling on this page is broken unless you enable javascript.

Looks like the reason is that it needs Googles amp code to function.

It's hillarious that Google gets away bloating the web with crap and selling us that as a way to make it more lightweight.

Flagging it for this reason. I think we should not support AMP here on HN.

Try the uMatrix browser plugin. No cross domain javascript is loaded by default, and it's super configurable. I was able to read this page, but the map and some other content was blocked.
I do use uMatrix and love it.

If you were able to read it without js, the reason is probably that HN meanwhile changed the link to the non-amp version.

Ah ok, cheers to another uMatrix user!
