How would this compare to using Xamarin with the .NET framework?

Well I said probability because depending on how complex the background is such as photographs, video, or some weird scrolling behavior, there could be some hindrances to having a computer accurately or computationally-efficiently determine

If you downvoted I'm not angry but I would appreciate transparency about what you think about the role of electricity and magnetism in the Universe at large. I tried to distinguish my comment from naive ideology by cautioning that I am

Could Google theoretically calculate the probability that some text on a webpage is extremely hard or impossible for humans to readily see based on info from the source page about the background and text?

Well there is actually a very electrical and magnetic basis for many of the features and configurations we see in space and in star systems. There is a whole memmetic category heading known as Electric Universe, which although unfortunate

There's Occam's Razor but then there's also things like Gravity. Gravity happens on all planets/masses. It could be that life formed on Earth and also forms other places. It could be that the life on Earth has been inter

I interpret this to mean that you find value in literature, even unscientific as some is, because of the ontology-expanding and vocabulary-expanding potential and for literature's capacity to introduce the reader's mind to new way

I'm super-curious about how something similar might be happening in the Double-Slit Experiment.

Yes but if others are not because we are...how does one do the hand-off without leaving a gap in worldwide military operations?

The notifications are a great addition in stock usefulness. You could always add that functionality through 3rd party lock screens but it's nice to see it baked right in. It's the swiping that I'm specifically disliking. Ever

Usefulness does not increase linearly with increased feature interface/interaction complexity. Usually it's the opposite.

You can turn off the 'feature' of having Chrome tabs appear in the Android app switcher in the Settings. I too think that for power users especially, this is a bad idea. Maybe if they just had like the 5 most recent tabs...just ma

Google Chrome adds a competitive edge in the browser market. We need that competition. You want them to be nice? They're being nice to consumers. Do they collect data about which sites we go to? Well I'm pretty sure that they have

Well some startups that were making progress towards these moonshot ideas have been bought by Google. Also, they have a significant portion of the world's smartest human beings. But there are exceptions; there are companies, big ones a

It's amazing how much our military seems to dehumanize innocent people. BTW, what's wrong with using police forces to stop terrorists?

Larger jumps in page-scroll-position could possibly be less distracting on our vision systems. I just don't want to be unsure about what will happen when I trigger the scrolling behavior.

I'm not against citations but obviously it would be nice if we were amply schooled in the biological functions of dietary nutrients so that the knowledge was just more tacit. On some level it feels like you're asking me to link to

Essential Fatty Acids play a role. It's not productive to focus on just one causal factor normally but EFA deficiency is quite common because of: 1. maligning of dietary fats 2. high cost of fish relative to other foods 3. time and eff

I have an additional hypothesis for why holding your breath might give you more cognitive energy for a period of time. It could be that the stomach compression and neck muscle tension that often accompanies holding your breath is raising th

Upon reflection I can see your perspective but I also agree quite completely with the article. It is of course true that the 'President' holds much power but if you break down the semantics, you might as well be saying that people
