Seems like a prime case for using a (bar/line/etc) graph to show the trend. I'm strangely disappointed in not seeing one.

Not sure what it says about the colored version of 2048, but I found myself doing much better than the numbered version. My strategy didn't involve as much reading as it normally does. Maybe just one or two moves ahead each time.

Of course not, but that's exactly the point. We should be able to have unpopular opinions and still be accepted in a community that emphasizes being a meritocracy, etc. Whether being forced to resign as Mozilla's CEO counts as th

I think the concern centers more around the perceived double standard on seemingly arbitrary issues. For instance, if Eich was a strong supporter of gay marriage, I have a hard time seeing him forced to step down. I get that gay marriage i

There is a difference between amateur levels and professional dan levels. For reference, you probably have to be at least 7-8 dan on KGS to be close to being professional. Here is a rank comparison of various amateur systems: http:/&#

Yep. The difference between Ishida and a top pro today probably isn't more than 2 stones.

In my estimation (I play go), beating Ishida Yoshio at 4 stones in a non-simul game [1] probably requires a player that's at least 4 dan amateur. [1] Professionals usually play amateurs simultaneous games. That is, 1 vs. many. The qu
