Apple obviously does not like to preannounce products, but with a ten-year time horizon, some form of AR/VR has to be in their plans as well.

Ah yes, the old "oi m8 I watch proper footy down the pub" archetype. MLS is "rigged," top Euro leagues like the one Bayern has won nine consecutive times are "not."

This is just asserting the same thing over and over again. You can go upthread to the simulation to see that when you are in the "Monty showed you a goat" scenario, the results for staying and switching are equal. If you rewrite t

Sure. This simulation shows the scenario OP described in his misunderstanding of the MHP, which is that he didn't realize the host was picking with foreknowledge of which doors were which. So if the host doesn't know that and is h

The docs for re-frame[0], a functional reactive framework for ClojureScript, are really excellent. They do a great job explaining the problem, the rationale for the approach taken, and how to actually use the framework. The library is a gem

There's exactly as much evidence for that as there is for any other mitigation, which is to say none because the CDC has spent approximately 0 dollars trying to study any of them seriously. We're all just guessing.
