@tqbf If you didn't look at the 2016 results and conclude that traditional polling was dead, you're.. kind of an asshole.

@stevesi @johnolilly @benedictevans @djdonnell Tiling was the correct choice -- though I doubt displays were large enough for that to work as well as it could have in 1990. Overlapping is endless busywork.

@argonaut @benthompson @reckless I do agree that it's crazy Apple hasn't shipped an OSX device with their insanely fast SoCs though. Even Ye Olde 2017 A10X was plenty fast for a macbook.

@rgardler @robdaemon IP lookup won't help since they are very secretive about IPs (because they're a hate site) and thus masked behind CloudFlare. So I'm unclear what point you are making, if any. I'm still waiting for that web citation from >2 days ago.

Rumor say the new ipad will use *current* silicon, rather than being 1 gen behind as in the past (A10X vs A11 in iPhone X, A12 in XS). If so, it will be a turbocharged A12 which will be .. kinda bonkers perf!
