I don't like accuracy as a loss metric - you could end up with a similar viable draft/deck at 50% accuracy or a completely non-viable one. Is it managing mana curves, creature count, mana fixing priority etc? I'd also love t

The point is that 20 streaming services with all the shows would be _fine_. They could compete on UI, delivery and price, not on exclusive content. Steam having every game is great for me. I am happy for loads of other game stores to exis

I mean, I grew up in environments like that and I and there is no noticeable difference as I walk out and back again (order miles). I will say that if folks are having proper bonfires - that absolutely makes a difference. Largely because t

I'm gonna stick a "citation needed" here. I have discerned no obvious difference in air quality from wood burners in the winter so unless London has a lot of folks burning wood in the summer I find it unlikely. As for Firew

The growth of mobile gaming in regions that used to be dominated by LAN cafe based gaming is super interesting. Most of the previously buzzing gaming hubs died during covid. PC Gaming equipment is extortionate, even in higher net worth a

The argument works both ways. In a concrete example: Burning the Koran is offensive, should it be restricted? No! Freedom! Next they'll stop us watching old westerns and doing fancy dress etc! We have to be able to prevent this bei

Right. And what do you think a path is if not separating students by academic interest into groups? Now, I'll concede there's a difference between interest and ability, but it will probably come out in the wash, as failure to k

In my case I am thinking about work perks. So, say, free biscuits in the kitchen. Of course it isn't "free" in the sense it is a result of work, but it is free in the sense it has no additional cost.
