I've always been curious if what Kasparov calls, "human intuition" by Deep Blue was merely Deep Blue being able to search more plies than any computer could before it. Also, not sure if it was fair for IBM engineers to change

Went to site, no new update. Went into Incognito, got new site. Apparently if you're cookied in or viewed an item recently it won't switch you over. Possibly out of fear of losing sales?

They've responded on Twitter. They don't really mention what they're talking about so you won't understand unless you've read the story. I guess to purposely not connect others to the story > This is disturbing a

This was a huge problem on the original iPad. I still don't understand why Apple skimps on the RAM.

IA's spider respects META tags in the HTML right? Quora should prevent archiving of a page using the tags until maybe a couple months after the last person has responded, then allow the page to be archived by removing any META tags rel

You underestimate the weird things high rollers demand to order to "increase" their luck. Turning on some feature that is usually turned off is pretty low on the list of suspicious things high rollers would do.

You seem to have gotten the story a bit confused. They didn't ask for a dealer that spoke Mandarin for superstitious reasons, they asked because the person actually doing the edge-sorting was Phil Ivey's partner in this, Cheng Yin

Some math on this assuming the article is correct. He was offered 5:4 odds so the juice was 2.8% given what he should've won vs what he got. The 5:4 odds mean he had to be at least 44% (+2.8%) confident just to break even, moreso to ma

To clarify, neither Uber nor Lyft would allow someone to drive a 10 year old car... And I would think a lot of people using those services wouldn't get into a 10 year old car. So even if there was a service that allowed old cars, there

How can an article question if Apple's abandoned it's "egalitarianism" if it never was egalitarian in the first place? This is not my opinion either as the author literally says they are not, while initially using the iP

"The iPad/iPhone is soooo egalitarian!" "Is Apple losing the egalitarianism it never had? No, it had Macs, it was never egalitarian!" Why was this in the article at all then? Using an analogy that in the end the aut

This is happening now too with my 4s with ios7. It acts the same as my old 3GS during the ios5? updates. I fear that my 4s won't be able to handle ios8. I don't expect Apple to support phones forever, but why does something like t

You are wrong. Apple says there was no "security breach" except their lack of security for the FindMyIphone website caused the breach. Mainly they exploited the fact that the FindMyIphone website did not throttle the number of log
