It's only a matter of time until they start banning browsers for not blocking certain websites. It's the exact same logic.

Are these step counts really as much as they sound like? My fitness tracker hits above 10,000 steps even the days I stay indoors, just from walking around the house doing things, although I do pace around more than most.

Does your midi software properly translate drum rudiments that have specific notation symbols? That would be quite impressive actually. Drumming has a lot of technique-specific and informal stylistic things that would be hard to translate.

Consciousness is mysterious, but I find it even more mysterious that the universe had the capacity for consciousness to even exist in the first place. How does something start with capacity to have first-person awareness of itself? It see

I guess my view is it's sort of like learning one note on guitar and saying guitar is so easy because you learned it in a day. Would you introduce yourself as a guitar player after doing that? If I memorize one word in a foreign langu

Oh, I agree that its easy to start out and even kids can start, but saying it in the context of getting a job feels very deceptive. Facebook had a commercial where they said something like "we'll hire anyone who can code, it'

I've always thought the view that "coding is easy" is a bit insulting to those who worked hard to learn to do it well. Sure, there are certain concepts in coding that are easy. But isn't that the case with everything?

The companies making classic consoles really missed an opportunity with this. Instead of making them temporary specialty items, they could have added a basic API and way to browse and download community games. I know this would have neede

I don't think this will always be the case. Applications like Bitwig Studio have both traditional and touch interfaces. It's only a change in GUI. I can see most applications in the future having "responsive" gui layo

If macbooks and ipads were one product, people would buy that one product instead of both, halving Apple's profits on them. ;)

What is worse: a nuclear weapon or a psychological weapon? Nuclear weapons sound more dangerous, but they cannot be used invisibly without triggering a catastrophic response, meaning their power is largely from the leverage they give to t

I generally agree with this, although this is more helpful when you can't predict future usages of an abstraction. I don't think there's anything wrong with an early abstraction if you know for certain it will be reused, or

I've also heard that it could be that everything that exists, is "potentially conscious", such that if it is connected in such a way where it can experience and actuate, it can become aware of it's own essence, and that

That's probably because the first few steps are very incremental. It skips ahead faster after that. If you were to make a longer version of this that was more gradual, I think people would be able to pick up more advanced concepts co

I've always thought learning entirely by example would be possible and might have speed advantages for quick learners. I'd like to see this method explored more.

It's like how free speech is both a reference to the first amendment and a concept in and of itself, meaning that you can support free speech in private spaces, without supporting it as a requirement under law. There's always con
