This x 1000. Also, it appears they are playing a tournament, which increases the variance significantly. I actually think tournament play is less suited to measuring AI performance than a cash game, because you're basically playing a s

If you're not into wine, a lot of this kind of stuff seems like it is probably bullshit, but it's not (necessarily). Something I can't recommend enough even if you only have a passing curiosity is to find a wine tasting or ev

While it's a no-brainer that the US should adopt metric, that map isn't the reason. The same argument could have been made against adopting metric when it was first invented. The reason that it should be adopted is simply because

This whole topic is very bothersome, as many of the comments in the thread so far have pointed out. For anyone who is generally for these kinds of policies (equality, diversity, whatever), can you please explain your position from the groun

I agree. Dropbox are massively more expensive than competitors like Google Drive. I stopped using Dropbox years ago when I realised that shared files and folders take up quota for ALL people that have access to it. This is absurd, and is a

I think studies like this are a real shame. The topic is interesting, but the method and the analysis are terribly poor. It is quite disingenuous to use "Across the Life Span" in the title of the paper when no longitudinal data wa

I'm not addressing the claim of this article, just the methods. IQ has a misleading (and factually inaccurate) name. The Q stands for quotient, but an actual IQ is not a quotient at all. IQs are ordinal ONLY. They allow you (to the ext

I don't understand how it's not exploitable. The casino can't control whether cards get marked. They get marked all the time during regular gameplay.

by asher_ 10y ago
Response to your edit. I still think this was the wrong opinion. If the cards are not shuffled that is a clear violation of the rules of the game. No such violation occurred here. There are no such rules about card orientation because usual

Ok, let's get technical. The (a) part of that law is written for casinos, not players, as it refers to dealing and operating games. The requirement is that they do this knowingly. The casino didn't know. The operation of this game

by asher_ 10y ago
I have a few problems with this. The law DOES make a distinction based on who did the marking. Your quote clearly states that it refers to people playing the game, which would exclude the casino. The cards also weren't marked. The back

This seems like a ruling unlikely to stand up on appeal. This technique is akin to card counting, where skill is combined with luck to create a long term advantage. I also think it should have been fairly obvious to the casino employees tha

To expand on this.. You could use $exists, $gt, $eq, $ne, $in, $nin, regex, and all kinds of other ways to query what you want. If the programmer wanted to exclude "secret projects" the query should have had a form similar to { $a

This isn't injection at all. No commands other than the find are being performed. Little Bobby Tables (Little Bobby Collections?) will not have any luck here. In addition to the fact that you can't execute arbitrary commands with

Unrelated to the actual topic but... Knots occur in headphone cables because of how people wrap or store them. If you take each end of the cable and fold it in half a few times (I do it 3 times) then you're far less likely to get any t

How is using semver casual? In AngularJS they introduced breaking changes a number of times, without a major version bump. Using semver makes it really clear, and since they are being so strict about it, there is greater confidence when upd

For clarification, these naming conventions aren't something that was just announced, but have been used since Angular(2) was in beta. While it's slightly confusing given there is a clear divide between versions 1 and 2, it makes

This even isn't the absurd part. If you increase the backlog time you are building for, then it's a one-off increase, it doesn't increase the quantity of new work coming in, so once they've worked through this one-off ex

Does anyone know what happens in the eventuality of Mark's death or incapacity? I don't think control like this is inherently wrong, as it seems to have worked well for Google, but I do wonder what happens after the founders die.

The margins on their displays was surely massive. They were in the order of 2x as expensive as equivalent Dell models. I think it was probably volumes, not margins, that had them drop the thunderbolt display.

You might have had the wrong size. If the length of your body is mismatched to the chair then this can happen.

Cool. It would be great if the site explained why it is different to the alternatives. If I was using Kubernetes for instances, why would I swap out the default service discovery mechanism for this one?

Based on the demo they showed, this isn't needed. As long as they know the orientation of the device relative to a flat plane they can move the virtual items within the bounds of that device's screen. When it crosses over on to an

I'm currently in the same boat. Both are similar in that they are component-oriented. There are two important factors in my mind. 1. The ecosystem (as you mentioned). React has a clear head start here, but I expect Angular2 to make som

I use Google Infrastructure personally. I'm very happy with it. If I were you I'd look at kubernetes. Not just because it's great, but because it has cross-provider support. Configuring it is fairly easy, and you can then dep

This is a complex issue. There are a few things to keep in mind when thinking about suicide attempts. The first thing is that the paper cited in this article to back up this claim actually does not say that females have a higher rate of att
