#12Why not use Google's CDN? https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.m...
Because you'd still be putting your web site in someone else's hands.

#13CloudFlare CDN: http://cdnjs.com/libraries/jquery
I use to use the Google CDN but cdnjs.com has a huge amount of javascript libraries hosted on it and it is usually updated faster.

#15Would the standard local js fallback pattern solve this? window.jQuery || document.write(' \x3C/script>')
Indeed! it's shipped as standard in html5 boilerplate code https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/blob/c3a72ff882104...

#16please fix asap!
Wouldn't this be solved by hosting it on your own site?
I assume that will work,but it will introduce two problems.
1. Keep a local copy means you will be the one paying for the bandwidth to serve it.
2. You will have to manually update your local copy everytime upstream makes improvements.
Having things locally increases reliability but it carries its own costs.

How is getting upstream "improvements" without having a chance to test them a good thing?

But a minified library is loaded once per visitor (then cached) and is lilely is not going to have a greater bandwidth impact than any one of your actual pages. My site surprisingly breaking without me making changes to it (whether due to third party unreliability, security issues with their server, or surprise updates) sounds like a really, really bad thing.

#20This reminds me of a Microsoft research paper*
"It’s hard to blame users for not being interested in SSL and certificates when (as far as we can determine) 100% of all certificate errors seen by users are false positives."
