A long, long time ago I decided to build a machine to pass the Turing test. Part of this involved giving 1000's of people microphones to record the questions they asked and responses they received in normal life. This data was streamed dire

No, the issue is whether or not a rights holder can licence content on a country by country basis at all within Europe. This may also have implications outside of football such as the licensing of films etc. Also, it was a Greek broadcaster

This already happens with cars. For example, the difference between the BMW Mini One and Cooper versions is basically just a different engine map on the CPU, with the former restricted in power and the latter sold at a higher price http://

I think you misunderstand what intellisense does. For example, if I start typing a method name then it will give me the possible completions from which to choose and if I call a method it will remind me of the parameters required. These are

They have been profitable, although I don't use a fully automated strategy yet, the bots show me where to bet based on statistical analysis (Monte Carlo analysis) based on past games, the current situation in each game and the available odd

I have written a few bots before but only in certain soccer markets such as over/under goals.

Depending on the market you are betting on, how quickly you need updates and what you can afford, you have a choice of subscribing to a live data feed (e.g. from http://www.enetpulse.com/ or http://www.pressassociation.com/sport/data.htm

Thanks for the correction. How do you plan to compete with Betfair?

by seanos 16y ago
You can short a bet (known as a laying) as well as go long (known as backing).

Betfair has an api, http://bdp.betfair.com/ , if you're interested in writing your own trading bot - although the free version doesn't allow you to place bets.

Actually it will work with any distribution of keys, provided that you know what that distribution is.

The slip coach concept involves simply decoupling the last coach of the train so that it coasts into the station, therefore there is no equivalent for pick-ups - you can't just couple a coach to a fast moving train.

I think paid accounts could be used as a document backup service as you get access to unlimited history but with free accounts I believe backups are only stored for 30 days.

1. Ryanair do not charge people to go to the toilet, but you might have a good idea there. Having toilets cost money - to service between flights and by taking up space that could be used for seats. Either way you pay for them, in a charge

Actually I would say that Ryanair is the opposite model. They want to discourage people from checking in baggage, hence the fees. Staffing check-in desks and paying for baggage handling is a cost to the airline and increases turn around t

Do you realise the amount of natural resources Africa has? I doubt it would be empty.

Gymnasts (at least at the elite level) use weight lifting as part of their training routine.

by seanos 17y ago
"...emphasize the lowering of the weights... This helps strengthen the inverse muscle, your triceps for arm curls, and improves your overall control." Not true. Lowering the weight works the same muscle as lifting it.

Or maybe - Simple, but complicated to do. Someone could ask me "How do I make the perfect search engine?" and I might reply "For any user and query make it return the most relevant results." That is a simple instruction but actually complic

But the actual task and skills haven't changed, just the elite performance level.

An interesting question might be: I decide I want to be an expert racing driver and I know in order to achieve that I need 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. So I look at the controls and I see that I have a clutch, an accelerator, a brak

Yes you put it much better than me. I agree that many of the underlying abstract aspects are largely unchanging, it's just the technologies that shift. If I were the best piano player in the world today, I'd probably still be one of the bes

by seanos 17y ago
But I think the point the poster is trying to make is that it isn't simple. The actual task of carrying out 10,000 hours of deliberate practice is complicated. You have to be constantly revising your strategy, measuring your progress, deter

by seanos 17y ago
I think the 10,000 hour rule is more applicable to skills that are somewhat stationary. Technology is a moving target, as new technologies are introduced some of the skills in which you were an expert become obsolete. On the other hand, som

What is he testing? He is not, for example, testing if people would pay $50 because I'd assume 99.99% of people who would pay $50 will instead pay $25 whilst that is an option.

Three subscription options: $25, $50 or $100 per month for exactly the same product. Normally tiered pricing is used with different product variations to target different market segments more effectively. In this case, since the product is

Plastic Jungle seem to sell them at fixed prices too, although the price is set by the seller. Why is having a third party, CardPool, set the price an advantage? Surely they are going to have to price them at the market value anyway?
