On the other side of the spectrum packet loss is a key feature of some of the layers below tcp, like path-mtu discovery.

Doesn't that "feeling" though kinda confirm that it's an illusion of screen space when you can measure the diagonal image on a normal phone and see that it's the same?

Last time I looked, the aspect ratios for the unfolded screens were such that you didn't actually get any more screen real estate than a normal smartphone so the kids analogy doesn't make a ton of sense to me. For media it's like you get the illusion of a bigger screen.

What's hilarious is that divx was the most popular pirate format back in the day before they went commercial use and xvid replaced it.

I don't even think that's right. It was a service you got for free for buying a pixel before they moved it to Google one.

My six year old thinks it looks cool. If you adjust for hot wheels demographics I think they're golden

You're on the right track but comparing the wrong things. It's cost of the rounds vs the cost of not stopping the incoming weapon (ie lives and damages), not vs the cost of the incoming weapon.

Believe it or not windy city has nothing to do with actual wind, the phrase was from our politicians being blow-hards

Got a pair of devices a bit like the halo to keep in the cars going forward. Car went in the shop a few days later for something unrelated but they tested the battery and there was nothing wrong with it, the engine was just too cold.

I live in Chicago and both my relatively new cars wouldn't start without a jump last week...

Not "start from anywhere" like this service is.
