    No offense taken. I’m not a scientist either, but I believe in the idea that anything can be taken as an explanation if it makes sense at the time, and later be taken apart, discarded and replaced with a better explanation when one comes along.

    Haven’t tried it personally, but from what I know it’s supposed to fix some of QWERTY’s pitfalls. QWERTY was originally made for typewriters and has some things in mind to prevent jamming (i.e. placing letters that appear next to each other in words far from each other on the keyboard). Modern keyboards don’t have those mechanical limitations any more; from what I know DVORAK and other alternative layouts try to optimise things by placing most used letters on the home row and alternating between hands, but now have to overcome the fact that maybe 99% of people are used to QWERTY.






  • The problem with Samsung (last time I checked at least) is that the moment you unlock the bootloader (which is needed to install anything other than stock), there’s a flag raised voiding the warranty. That flag from what I know is acting like a hardware fuse, so it’s pretty much non-reversible. Shame, really, because Samsung do have some really nice things in terms of hardware.

    Yeah, when you put the dimensions implication in it it starts making a bit more sense - implying that we’re two-dimensional and the third dimension inside the balloon is the things that we don’t fully comprehend (yet).

    Yeah, but in this case is the universe just the dots on the surface of the balloon or is it the whole balloon with its entire volume? Intuitively I think it’s the latter (although there’s probably no “hard” edge that’s bounding the ends of the universe like the rubber of the balloon), and if that’s true, you could measure the speed of one wall getting away from the centre or the speed of two opposite walls getting away from each other.

    I could be wrong of course, I’d be happy if someone points out what I might be missing.
