Ugh, I always forget; I don't have a lot of occasions to use it, so it's hard to break the habit. I guess I'm just obtuse. Thanks for pointing it out.

Even removing the "per second" doesn't quite fix it; a data transfer speed can't be "equivalent" to simultaneously streaming N number of UHD videos; it may be equivalent to the speed necessary to simultaneously

I had a similar idea a few years back; an optionally-always-on mapping app that made it really easy to add data and fix existing data, with prompts about nearby things as you're moving around. Yet another example of how execution is wh

Let's take it as given that HTTP is the right answer in that situation; I'm not saying it is or isn't, but let's assume it is. We're talking about HTTP(S) in web browsers and client-side applications; no one is actu
