+# Please do not edit this script to pre-compress the artifacts before they hit
+# S3. This prevents the website from working on browsers that do not support gzip
+# encoding. Cloudfront will automatically compress files if they are less than
+# 9.5 MiB, and the client advertises itself as capable of decompressing.
+# The data.js file is currently 16 MiB. In order to fix this problem, we need to do
+# one of the following things:
+# * Reduce the size of data.js to less than 9.5 MiB.
+# * Figure out how to adjust the Cloudfront settings to increase the max size for
+#   auto-compressed objects.
+# * Migrate to fastly.
