I think via regulation. Two hundred years ago it would be hard to imagine that everyone would be registered in a central database and will need an ID to do many things. I think eventually the internet will have to give up on the idea of ano

Check if you can borrow board games from libraries around you. In my area it is the case and I use it frequently.

Maybe, but there IS a whole pattern of suspicious behavior. https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29/news-views-gossip/garr... Additionally to me it makes much more sense as a cheat than as a legitimate play. Notice

Are the companies indeed inflicting self harm? They might get less applications that way, but posting salary ranges for new employees has other downsides - e.g. it might tilt existing employees. Another downside is that it's easy to sc

> That's true of subscription software, too. Developing any feature takes time, often a lot more time than you thought. It might be longer for the traditional model, but a feature that takes 2000 developer hours takes 2000 developer

That's so insanely crazy. In Switzerland it's normal for kids as young as 4 to walk few hundred meters alone to kindergarten (if the kid is courageous enough) even in the urban city center.

As a go player I'm utterly disappointed. In all those games kataGo clearly won a game, KataGo knew it won a game and the adversary played terrible go. The adversary believes it won because it thinks it plays different rules than KataGo

I actually got 600$ from an online casino like that. (2007 iirc) I got free 50$ but had to wager 2k$ before cashing out. Played some slot machine, run hot and had 600$ by the time the bonus cleared. I took out cash from ATM a couple days l

In a sport of orienteering (quite popular in Scandinavia and Switzerland) having perfect sense of the North as opposed to checking it with compass would offer a competitive advantage. I wonder if anyone tried to develop that.

Though there is a sense of hypocrisy here. Europe used to be a one big jungle and the western Europe was first to chop it all and build their wealth on it. If now we regret it then those who did chop off all their forests should share part

I think it's a bit more than just entertainment. By creating a big prize (either money or prestige) you create incentive to win and the new definition of best shows up (the one most likely to win this title). And even in the same sport

I was not precise. I didn't mean that it can determine the best player according to any reasonable metric but that it can determine a tournament winner at all.

You try to match people in the db with known locations of a target and very quickly there will be only one match.

No. They are used because you can decide Best of N players in N-1 games. They are used in sports where the games are long, exhausting (a single player can play only a few of them in short time) and needs a non-trivial infrastructure (thin

Well. I have to admit you're right. But it seems to not be universally true. In Poland I have found that price for companies can be 3x higher based on at least one source. C11 - the tariff for the companies seem to cost 1.6 PLN /

Yes. I worked many years in both Java and C#. In Java every project and codebase I saw was pretty much the same. In c# when I look at other people's projects I often feel like it's a foreign language. You can make it look like C+
