What are their ELO rating estimates? I was a high school player and used to mess around with Rybka, but I haven't looked into computer chess in years.

Isn't it obvious to assume that of course he thought through the complications, but that there was just apparent escape? I can understand being frustrated by that question. Reporters for a chess championship should be more understandin

You sound like you're mistaking your dislike of crowds as dislike for Apple Stores. I have none of those issues. The stores are always crowded, but there are always enough devices that I do not have to wait to try the desired device. A

How would the vulnerability discovery work? Is the current code encrypted so that it can't be viewed? My understanding of the process is that code is written in a language that must be compiled. After it is compiled, it is then "p

Is that a loss leader? I shop at WinCo in the PacNW and $3/lb would be pretty standard for pork chops when buying a ~2-3 lb package. I see that you're talking local grocer, but I assume their pricing wouldn't be that drastica

Would it pass the Grandma test? What would it take to trick Grandma into giving a person/program access to her Bitcoin wallet? I assume she would just need to reveal her password to a program and from there it could steal her wallet?

Are they really? How much does that cost a store? The idea of grocery stores having permanent loss-leading items never occurred to me.

Are you sure about that? My background is limited but my understanding is that chip makers will set their spec limits far higher than need be. The chips then get tested, and those that struggle at the higher frequencies will be designated a

Doesn't it have major scaling problems? I've seen many recommendations that it's not yet ready for anything with complexity.

Is BitCoin as secure as conventional currencies? I've seen a good number of articles about wallets being stolen or exchanges being compromised but I don't know enough to tell if it's negligent behavior by the user/owner.

Are these browser plugins? Are any browser plugin password generators secure enough to be used?

Disdain is inappropriate, but so is automatic praise. The media wants to paint this picture that members of the military choose to serve for altruistic reasons and that we need to celebrate them all. This may be true for some, but I think t

Payback. Risk. Magnitude. Is there really any more to it than that?

I loved this line: "the rate at which technology increases our productive capacity is probably polynomial, rather than linear. So we should expect to see ever-increasing variation in individual productivity as time goes on."

"Techies" believe they know better how to allocate their money than do charity workers. Why give now when they could wisely invest and give 3x as much at a later time? Then maybe at that later time their internal generosity dries

Shouldn't we expect that success for one means loss for the other? Their services have significant overlap, and the social/mobile advertising market is finite.

Feross should get a retroactive prize for this: http://feross.org/fill-disk/ I guess if we're gonna be retroactive, though, there are tons of people who should be named.

How did Loren make/get the graphics for this site? I'm assuming self created in his graphics software of choice? It's probably the most artsy personal page I've seen.

I never understand what's so wrong about the "series of tubes" metaphor. A tube connects something to something else, and it has the same characteristics like bandwidth, travel time, connections/splits, etc. And isn&#x27

Do you rent to the same people for extended stays? I'm wondering about the amount of work it would take to clean up the room after each guest, and whether that would outweigh the profit.

Is there a reason for keeping these hidden? I've also wondered about downvoting... I never see a button for that, but it seems like some people are still able to. Is it just the 'flag'?

It's awesome pg responds so quickly... I'm wondering if he gets alerted (probably) or if he's on here a lot (probably). Maybe we could DDOS his alert system with threads about pg rated movies... And an aside- does pg have the
