This is not the case. Firstly, although it is proven that there is an optimal (game theoretic) strategy to play (Nash), we are not close to 'solving' it. There are attempts to solve limit hold'em, and the current systems beat human players,

No they're not. Checkboxes are fine for boolean on/offs. But from the OP: "often the choice is not between turning a specific feature on or off, but between two different view, modes or whatever." Here i think the Quija sliders really are a

My understanding is floaters are quite common and many in the population suffer from them. I've had them for a few years, I visited my optician and he said not to worry, and he could actually 'see' the floaters when he looked at my eye (it'

I'm asking why should it be open source, not why does yitchelle want it open source. I'm was actually asking genuinely, perhaps there was a reason yitchelle felt there was a moral reason it should be open source. Perhaps I misinterpreted

I wanted to use Ember, and I started going down that road, but I just didn't click with it. I didn't progress past the tutorial! I can't remember what exactly I didn't get working, but I just felt very lost and overwhelmed, and that was spe

I'm a huge fan of the entire Fitbit product; the hardware is a joy to use, it has great apps for desktop and Android, sync is a breeze, the web app works very well; the whole process has been excellent. However, having spent close to €300 w

I think for lots of people, they don't want carry their expensive smart-phones with them when they exercise. I'm also always forgetting it, don't charge it, etc. These new devices are so small you can basically wear it all day and forget ab

> like I change my daily targets, but weekly targets dont change. fwiw I think that is by design; the two things are independent. e.g. you may wish to set a minimum 10k steps a day, but a weekly goal of 100k (or whatever). It's a bit c

Could you explain a bit more when Bodymedia FIT is superior? The FitBit One and Ultra tracks steps taken, floors climbed, and sleep efficiency, and tells you calories burned and distance travelled (the latter two i assume just simply calcul

Of all the videos and memes that have got super-viral, Gangnam style I find the easiest to understand. It's catchy, funny, ironic, and has a global appeal crossing age and language barriers.

Nothing wrong with slabtext, since looks great. It was just fun to get through my 10, see the completion page, and I instantly thought, "done with slabtext!" It's your own fault, you're training me to spot these things!

I disagree. In your example, your false dilemma is trying to remove the possibility of dont answer survey (instead, you consider which day do I answer survey ). That's a false dilemma. But that's not the case here. The article isn't abou

I see comments like this a lot on HN and I find it very frustrating. The curation and coverage is not "blog spam," it's an extremely useful service. I'm fine with someone linking to gizmodo, they deserve credit for curating the information,
