This is easily remedied by retaining a human dealer. It's fairly trivial to create a computer that can identify dealt cards on the table.

I think you might be waiting for awhile unfortunately. Implementing await would result in a lot of autogenerated code. Typescript is largely meant to be almost 1:1 with the Javascript it produces. Anders talks about that problem in this vid

What will be extremely interesting is when one of these databases of people who have opted in to receive pornography is leaked. Especially if it contains the names of politicians and other high profile individuals. I believe that's whe

Yeah, if anything Steve Jobs was exactly the "business type" your parent is speaking about. “I was so close to Steve Jobs I could never really see the transition,” Wozniak said. “I just wanted to be in engineering only – I never w

I take issue with the idea that you can count PyPy as a +1 for Python's speed without also counting it as a -1 for libraries. Especially considering SciPy and NumPy are not yet supported by PyPy, which means you lose out on a lot of li

If building security is honestly unable to do anything about it (as mentioned in the linked article) I suspect the claims of residents are somewhat exaggerated. Especially considering some of the "havoc" they're causing is ja

Because they don't want to share their business specifics they deserve what they get? That sounds an awful lot like "If you've got nothing to hide, you should tell us what you're doing". I'm all for transparent

A company that profits from violence and war really can't be expected to be terribly trustworthy. Their business does not center around tracking down terrorists. They do all things "Big Data". That includes finance a

I cannot believe we are doing this again. Just because Palantir was asked by Aaron Barr to use their technology against Greenwald does not mean that they did. Palantir later confirmed that their technology didn't even have the ability

How is releasing a single press release being "desperate for attention"? A common theme among people who oppose Edward Snowden's is to criticize his character. Even within this thread people have resorted to name calling, dub

The point is you can't condemn Palantir for something Aaron Barr asked of them. You can't condemn Google for something I ask of them. Even in the event they were able to do what he requested, you can only fault them if they carrie

Perhaps it was different in the US. But that's the price I paid for my Xbox 360 in Canada.

The Xbox 360 released at about $500-$550 as did the PS3. The price was likely not the reason your friends were considering abandoning Xbox. It was the poorly communicated DRM restrictions and Microsoft's initial reluctance to do anythi
