I wonder how hard it would be to make tool that can take an existing audio file and digitally alter the frequencies in each section to give us a perfect just-intonation all throughout (by subtly lowering or raising the frequencies to form perfect ratios with other frequencies being played at the same time). You could even get this to run in real time on digital pianos, giving you perfect just-intonation depending on the chord or keys you play. The change in frequency would be unnoticeable alone but might be noticeable when played together with other keys, making the song more melodious.

Took a good few seconds to load what is essentially a few paragraphs of text and an image. How can people accept 21mb websites? Perhaps they're just eager to play their part in global warming.

Code is not law and never has been, consensus is law.
The Ethereum community (technically, node operators) as a majority decided to rollback the blockchain and it would have been impossible to do so otherwise. The community was tiny barely three months after launch and this would be much harder to orchestrate today.

Returning the money elevates the hacker to "hero" status within the crypto community. By keeping the funds they risk getting doxxed and having serious legal action taken against them. Additionally, if the funds are a sizeable portion the entire project might fail rendering their token useless.
