You just expanded on my poorly worded question :)

so, yes, it is still all based on a "base pixel value, that is not really a pixel".

almost. You don't have privacy in either case. Case in the article is the company is sharing data with US agencies only.

The only government doing the right thing on this front is France. They contribute and host their own Matrix instance for government use.

If you see countries like India, Brasil, Nigeria... They pretty much replaced their telephone infrastructure with Whatsapp. Like it or not, the telephone infra gives law enforcement access to all metadata, in some cases without a warrant, and allow wiretap with a warrant. Whatsapp gives both these powers to US agencies and not local ones. And thats what the UK have a problem with.

Oh that is pretty much their monetization strategy. They still on the hype step tho. As soon as they have enough mass, they will do exactly what you say.

For now they are just selling individually to CISO's, so they can pay a higher cost while looking savvy to the CEO.

The fact you can even read a not-really-"9px" font on a retina display highlights how wrong browsers get things when they try to move too fast to quickly patch things. and more importantly, when the companies selling the new displays get a say on the html/css spec.

yeah, chrome and safari supported retina displays on day one, but at yet another huge consistency nuclear bomb that we now have to remember forever.

Is the current bleeding edge CSS techniques to base everything off a base "px" value?!

I would imagine things would have progressed to have decent points or some other measurement based on screen actual size by now.
