Interestingly enough, it looks like it has a specific checkmate in mind. It generated a board for me in which black could be mated in two different ways, but one didn't count.

I can't help but be reminded of: http://xkcd.com/1118/ as I read this. Bundling a browser with an operating system seems much more innocent than the lack of openness in the mobile world.

This looks great. Honestly, a lot of the stuff on the front page of HN is there simply because of the domain name associated with it. It's nice to have something like this. I'm going to try and use it as a replacement.

Khan Academy might be exactly what you're looking for. It has videos ranging from addition all the way through to second year undergrad calculus. I've found the most important (and difficult) part of learning math is to force myself to prac

Yes, nothing quite as rewarding as waiting for a bus in the cold only to have it drive straight on by because it was full.

Some opinions hold more weight than others. I'm not sure what the law is in the United States, but in Canada if an engineer gives poor, actionable advice in some field related to engineering he can be held liable for any damages related to

I honestly don't even know what to say when these things come up nowadays. It just seems like the bullshit won't end. I can't think of any options that even exist to fix this broken patent system.

Part of the problem with Canada is that it's less dense than many other countries. Unless you already have serious financing, it's going to be very difficult to be able to pay for your own fiber lines. I imagine the regulation makes it toug

My thoughts exactly. It would be almost trivial to find out where someone has driven their car after committing a crime. I'm curious to see what might happen if they deploy these in US cities.

It sounds like you need to take a moment to consciously reflect on the fact that not everyone cares about privacy to the same extent you do. I don't just mean the privacy of others, but their own privacy as well. To many people, the loss of

I've looked at two and both had the option to print a file that you uploaded. Of course I didn't actually try to print anything, but it looks like you probably could.

They cited Andrew McAfee in the article, but I believe he's come to a different conclusion than the authors of this article did. He gave an excellent talk called "Are droids taking out jobs?" http://www.ted.com/talks/andrew_mcafee_are_droi

I think the incorrect assumption raganwald makes is that the greatest minds aren't trying to solve these problems. You're not going to hear about massive successes in these fields nearly as often because the problems are hugely complex and

It's incredible, because it's people like yourself who drive people away from the causes you're trying to promote. But somehow you can't see that. Any cause would do well to distance itself from people who compare MIT to the Nazi Youth[1].
