“Big Tech” gets a lot of flak these days. They’re called “monopolies,” it’s said that they stifle competition, and that they’re getting too big for their britches, and they still fuck their bitches.

But one thing that’s often forgotten is that these giants of industry are also on the cutting edge of science. An example of this is the “Holy CSS Symposium,” which I had the pleasure of attending last week.

Holy CSS Symposium

The conference is the largest of its kind, and it’s where the top minds in the field of California Style Sheets (CSS) meet to discuss the latest advancements in their field. This year it was celebrated on the hypercube right above the Lagrange point L3, and I was lucky enough to get a front-row seat by quantum teleportation.

My three-dimensional mind is barely able to recall some of the news that were revealed there, but it’s my pleasure to share what I can with you.

The biggest news is that the pixel will no longer be considered the baseline measurement unit in CSS. Instead, all measurements will now be made in millimeters (mm), which has additionally been declared the smallest unit.

Why is the millimeter so special?
