I don’t think so. Sure, there has been rumours but this story delivers solid proof for the first time. Also this has not got any real media coverage.

What is your opinion on how into the chess one needs to be to get a similar kind of experience out of the 5D chess? Asking as a casual hobby player.

Regarding point 2 - it is more likely that mutations would actually cause sars-cov-2 to be less pathogenic. Futher if you judge merits of approach solely by looking at death counts you miss the bigger picture: what is the total cost of the

Funny that even if this site does typography well, it miserably fails in accessibility as parts of text have way too low contrast against background. Still great content and I will definitely dig in.

I'm genuinely interested in this topic. I'm not saying that vegan diet is the best diet out there, but what I've read so far it really seems to be a much healthier alternative than the "western default". Some intere

I would argue that it depends on how predictable the output is for a given system that determines if it is a gamble or not. A simple rule system with numerous agents can produce output that is really hard to predict.

It's ridiculous to blame agile for "delivering shit" (I'm not a huge agile fan neither) - after all it always comes down to the people involved not the methodology/process applied. A though experiment: do you blame

", this is a great purchase." You cant really say it's a great purchase without mentioning the price, which you didn't. I haven't done any deep analysis but my gut feeling says that 26.2B for stopping Linkedin spam

"New particle is not included in the Standard Model--because there hasn't been any experimental evidence for one.." What?! That statement is absurd - reminds me the story of how geocentric model was "adjusted" when

I hope Google encourages spin-offs to be launched from these closing services. Haven't used Google Compare as it's not available in my region, but it seems like a solid concept.

Well, it is just slow: bigger the code base / longer it runs, the more clearer this becomes. I used Atom for ~6 months, until I had enough and switched to sublimetext about 4 months ago.

Sure, but the right metric with emacs is how feasible something is, not whether it's possible.

Using Atom is just pure pain, though the pain goes away fast once you stop using it.

You are not alone. (I hope this knowledge soothes your pain)

Yes, this touches the point that is overlooked. We are eager to assume that the cost of acquiring a (reading) skill is static and low, involving only time. The way I see this is that for toddlers the added value by hour declines rapidly, so

Really, more skills the better? I have 3yr old son and I've been reading to him / teaching him to read only as much as he can concentrate while enjoying it. It is really easy to be too pushy and have a child lost interest. The ski

I understood that. Sorry if my question was bit unclear. What I wanted to know was _specifically_ what these bugs are / what causes them / what is practical impact (i.e. probability of application crashing or other serious event d
