Is it possible to have something like random.org but without paying for it?
say you want to build a lottery application, who can you rely on to make receive a very good random number generator at low cost?
Should the government provide this for free to developers? Seems like its in everybody's interest to have a ~true random() function.
Pokerstars uses lasers, someone else uses lava lamps, radio waves, what else?
Also on a side note: how much do you think we have truly discovered the nature of "randomness"? Nassim Taleb says its not random if you run into somebody you know in the supermarket while thinking of them. Some physicists have likened it similar to newtonian others a more parallelian view. Why is it that some natural order emerges out of "randomness" out of a 52 card deck? How is it that a randomly swinging spot light in a dark room is able to "find" a plant that is also "randomly" placed in the room? Or the randomness of people's birth date and time emerging in lottery tickets? Or even more controversial, the fact that RNG is able to be seemingly influenced by the collective consciousness?
