The issue with Safari is that too many features just don’t work 100% correctly. Like WebRTC mic support has a number of bugs. Calling captureStream on a canvas produces a media stream that cannot be played back in Safari. Playing a lot of a

Sure, you might get away with consuming a single video stream. But you shouldn't be surprised that there is very little demand for this. A single HD video stream (1080p) can require 8 mbps. Trying to consume multiple of these, especial

Deflation has a bad rap because its insidious form is caused by economic contraction. But other causes of deflation are neutral / positive and there isn't anything inherently wrong with it. Go look up how much a 400 MHz processor

"Exception that proves the rule" requires the example to be notable specifically because the example violates the rule. In this case, the East India Company is not notable because it was long-lived.

The book is much better than the show, but both examine what living in a Christian-facist state would look like. The graphic depictions serve as a warning: “this won’t be fun.” It’s kind of scary how prescient the book is.

I think you’re missing the point: any confounding factor you can think of would foster before smartphones. So it doesn’t make sense to call phones a confounding factor. For instance, people are saying “people who get phones earlier may have
