This is a very simplistic view. You can rate moves not only by result with objective play but also by how hard it is to play against using objective measure (for example move A is better than move B is to draw against A you need a top engin

You can't compare ELO ratings from different populations. They are like different units. It used to be the case that human+computer combo was better than a computer alone but it's most likely not the case anymore. Even if it is th

The problem with poker is that there is money to be made from having a strong AI so there is 0 incentive to release it. What's publicly available are solvers (which solve game abstractions similar to the full game but don't play t

I used to be anti-Apple for all their walled garden policies but I decided I can't win that fight. Instead I just bought their stock with significant % of my money and now I read all Apple related news with pleasure. This means they ar

It's like arguing with people who believe in their system to win at lotteries: "you can't criticize it until you understand every little detail". MLM proponents use the same argument: look at this amazing double binary b

I am talking about people who won't participate like me. It's in my interest to regulate crypto. It's not because I care about people who lose money investing in some nonsense. It's all good, stupidity should have conseq

The rest of the population is protected. It's problematic to have both the disillusioned scammed and scammers running around with freshly acquired capital to do more harm to other people.

I run a profitable business (1.5m+ revenue at 90%+ margins). I would love to sell it and do something else. I even think you can grow it in relatively straightforward way, I just don't have the energy to make it happen. Sadly it's

The biggest problem with e-bikes by far is theft. We need heavy aggressive policing (including bait bikes) so the thieves stop feeling like it's low risk/high reward target. Sadly it seems that current political climate is to go i

Well, I believe you shouldn't discriminate on age in those situations. After all older people were paying to the system for their whole life and still pay (well, depends on the country). If 30yo mother refused the vaccination I believe

Here is a proposal: divide ICU beds in hospitals proportionally between vaxed and unvaxed population. If all unvaxed beds are taken you don't get one. As all libertarians know there can't be freedom of choices without responsibili

I haven't heard something as offensive to my sense of justice as downgrading giving STDs to others from felony to misdemeanor for a very long time. I mean seriously, is there anyone out there who prefers getting an STD (let alone a ver

Couldn't find it at a glance, does the data included vaccinated people? If so it's not surprising mortality is lower than previously reported (because there are more vaccinated people than in the past).

The difference matters for legal proceedings but not for much else, surely not for personal investment decisions.

I am sorry but you're completely wrong. Modern engine's moves are usually easy to understand if you can play around with the engine running. The engine is just way more precise. Usually the variations needed to understand the move

That is very interesting but I hard time believing that includes many elementary school teachers who didn't switch careers at some point. It would be interesting to see some details on it.

There are many other things you need other then hard work or luck. For example if you work very hard as an elementary school teacher no amount of luck will make you a millionaire. I think there is a lot of skill involved in getting into spo

It's not in the your best interest to have access to more profitable but more risky investments until you have a lot of money available. If it isn't obvious to you just think of the shape of utility of money curve. More profitable

Man, my national currency lost 50% of value vs USD throughout last 12 or so years. It regularly goes up and down 10-25% (it usually takes several months). Life goes on and prices of goods are very stable. It's not much of a problem. It

Hyperinflation is caused by very limited supply. If there is not enough food around people will give everything for it. It doesn't matter what the currency is and how much you print or not.

My favorite fact about the law of large numbers is that the more you play the higher expected distance from the expectation is. This sounds counterintuitive to many so it's worth considering for a bit. The law of large numbers says tha

You thinking that the stores pay, not the customer is part of the problem. The fees are just hidden from you. The cost of business of higher and so are the prices.
