Barring faction imbalance, there's a 50% chance to win by staying in base. However, I'm not sure how running around and dying could negatively impact your win percentage unless the other bot is also outside of the base.

The lifecycle of most games, but far from all. Subscription based games (mainly WoW and other MMORPGs), F2P cosmetic games (e.g. MOBAs and Valve games) and DLC-heavy games (e.g. Paradox games) are all more similar to SaaS than movies or boo

There are plenty of people that do not see large parts of /pol/ as satire. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of the posters on /pol/ largely agree with the general culture. It's interesting to me t

I'm completely oblivious here, so this might sound stupid; but is it possible that he lost access to the wallet before bitcoins were actually worth anything? I.e, he just didn't bother much with backups or security because losing

That's not necessarily true, though. Consultants often work hourly on contracts, which means that you're typically punished for being efficient as you won't have as many billable hours. This generally means that you're b

I would imagine it could be related to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imminent_lawless_action . Although I am not a lawyer, so take that with a pinch of salt.

The difference is that in American universities English is the primary language, and if you can't communicate in English then you shouldn't be attending somewhere where English communication is required. I disagree with your asser

If you read the linked article it's more about a social shift than driven by law. I.e, many individuals are foregoing cash for cards, to the point where churches and 'homeless' now accept cards.

If he didn't anticipate or account for that move, that means his search space wasn't a strict superset. Unless I'm missing something, you're essentially repeating what OP said after his "But: if your opponent isn&#x

I think the "Random" part is a bit disingenuous. Four to five expert chess players suggested moves for the world team. I feel that for any reasonable non-expert it comes down to "choose between these suggested moves" rat

>Would you serve a lifetime prison sentence for a crime you did not commit? The thing is, if you let a serial killer off the hook because you didn't actually catch him red-handed (though the other evidence is very reliable) then you

Pretty sure this was disproven. Some of those words don't mean anything, but Google translate mistranslates it. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jun/17/truecrypt-...

Always regards the last bitcoins as the tainted ones. Local wallets could simply treat tainted bitcoins as not existing, thus removing that annoyance too.

Turns out the guy who found the Iphone 4 and sold it to Gizmodo regrets it as well. At least Gizmodo earned a pretty penny, though. "Gizmodo told me they would give me $5,000 for the story, and another $3,000 after it was confirmed by

If the crime resulted in downtime or in any other way inconvenienced someone else, it wasn't a victimless crime. Disregarding semantics, I completely agree that the potential punishment is not at all proportional to the crime in this case.

If you saved all the money you spent on your kid(s), you'd probably have a pretty decent safety net.

Hardcore and casual gaming used to be referring to the amount of time spent playing video games, IIRC. Nowadays, a casual gamer seems to be someone who enjoys primarily easier/social gaming (farmville etc).

160k means 160.000 men. That's a pretty huge sample size. Not statistically significant means we cannot with at least a 95% certainty say that the treatment helps.

Absolutely. I think a somewhat easier way for him to gain world domination would've been to start with another country than his own. If he could find a way to obtain information about another country's criminals without being exposed, it wo

It would be extremely hard (probably impossible) to hide the fact that you need a criminals name and face to kill them. At most he could've gained a bit of time by being more careful, and at that point he didn't believe the death note would

I'm not sure knowing what's most "important" classifies as procrastination. How can one possibly put a value on spending time with ones family? To me it sounds like a problem with stress, but I'm no expert.

The inherent problem with this is that certain posts simply cannot be made shorter without omitting useful information. When users are expected to write short comments, you'll quickly find that one-liner jokes and the like are the most upvo

That's how it's intended to be used on Reddit, sadly it's not really how it's actually used on the larger subreddits. Seeing as Reddit is a big recruiter for HN, it should come as no surprise that reddit user cause a lot of the "negative sh
