The comparison to TV/cable is a good one. I don't think people who feel this way would say the same about telephones or the postal service.
It's possible that this situation will cause all the other airlines to try improve their staff and bureaucracy out of fear of being next.
The iMac G4 could be described as half of a globe.
I own a 4 year old Nexus 4 that I got for $200. Almost everyone I encounter thinks it's an iPhone initially. Many people (especially the older ones) still think it's an iPhone after I tell them it isn't.
I suspect most of those history questions are answered via Wikipedia. From what I've seen if the snippet isn't using Wikipedia it's not useful and/or accurate.
This sounds more like gross incompetence than anything

Author here: In developing this I discovered that Twitter
really doesn't care about lists. The limits on API usage and aggressive following are well documented, but anything about lists is minor.
Also, if anyone from Twitter is reading: it would be nice if Twitter implemented a way to subscribe to someone's timeline instead of having to resort to this method.

Mobile Safari can easily handle, say, a Photos.app-like interface with a translucent navigation bar, native-like swipe gestures and smooth animations. Chrome handles none of this. No position:sticky, no backdrop-filter, no scroll-snap-typeIt's interesting that the things he lists as Safari having only work via a -webkit vendor prefix.
