Am I the only one who thinks that the classic music notation is 3x harder to learn than the basic music theory (without the rules of notation)? I think that you can learn music theory (to play an instrument or to compose music e.g. in a &qu

Telling if a photo or a video is "true" is the same as telling if the written text is "true". You can not tell it by analyzing characters / words in a text, or pixels in a video. You should analyze the subject who i

I am worried that this might happen to websites soon. If you want your website to be openable on Apple devices, you would have to pay Apple a fee each month. If you want your website to be openable on Android devices, you would have to pay

I think the screen resolution is also fingerprintable. That is why a browser should resize your window to a random size each time you visit a website.

I am just saying that the colorization was needed in 1995, when 90% of people had black-and-white childhood photos. But today, only 1% of people has black-and-white childhood photos. I just makes me want to argue when people pretend that it

That is not a tiny screen, it has over 7 thousand pixels. I think you will not be able to read 5x5 pixel letters on that display (a letter would be about 1 mm tall).

Did you colorize grayscale photos of your grandmothers wedding? Seeing that a "neat tool" exists and using that "neat tool" are two diffrent things. Google Glass was neat, too.

If you know a person who is 70 years old, they were 20 in 1975 - color photos existed back then. Every grayscale photo of someone famous has already been colorized during the past 50 years. If there are only grayscale photos of you, you wer

Too bad "tiny screens" pretty much do not exist anymore. Screens with hundreds of pixels on each side are very cheap already. It reminds me people who research "colorizing grayscale photos", which do not exist anymore ei

They should have standardized 3 to 5 battery sizes (and their connectors, voltages, etc.), so that the same battery could be used across many different devices, which would bring down the cost even more.

You chose to do it, so it means it was better to you than all other choices. Why would you still do it otherwise? If your goal is to suffer as much as possible, it does not matter. You are still making choices that lead you to your goal as

When somebody talks like this, ready to ban social networks, videogames, pornography, the whole internet, and pretty much every freedom that billinons of people enjoy, by comparing it to drugs, it scares me quite a lot.

You choose to spend your time on a place A instead of the place B, it means that the place A is better than the place B. Why else would you do it, if B was better? It is a simple logic.
