Can anyone expand on what that 2-dimensional math would look like, compared to GR in typical tensor form? If I'm almost capable of working in tensor calculus, would I be in a position to understand the 2 dimensional formulation? Or are

A good way to jump over the low level implementation details is to look at Factor. Forth style but much better library and most of the low level constructs are baked in. I can't say the documentation / tutorials that I've fo

Sometimes when humans try to get a hand-wavy initiative started, all you get is hand waving. My uninformed take on it: if the initiative was more on the level of "Here's my amazing ship design, prove me wrong" they would hav

If the companies affected shift away from fossil fuels, that's excellent as well. I'm not worried about the entities per se, just the emission reduction and overall environmental track record. If ten years from now, a much health

If only 10% of DRMed viewership is through EME in browsers, then dropping EME from browsers is far easier than if it were, say, 50 or 75%.

If those numbers are reasonably solid, I can see a positive outcome to refusal of EME support. Now I'm even more convinced it's a good idea.

I for one would love to see new browsers come forward and explicitly state that they are not implementing EME in any way, and see just how that plays out. My optimistic (maybe too deeply rose colored) vision would be for viewership of EME-l
