What do you mean? They clearly saw an advantage in losing, per the structure of the tournament.
485.
by tghw 14y ago
Why is that rule necessary? Shouldn't the tournament be structured such that the only way to win the tournament is to win matches?
486.
by tghw 14y ago
This is purely the fault of the organizers. If losing provides an advantage to the losing team, the tournament rules are broken. There should never be a need for such a rule.

See http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4258035 for the way this is activated. It only shows it if someone has already made it clear they're trying to not pay for the software.

I've stated elsewhere in this thread, I don't write Blurity. It seems that you so want someone to attack for perceived violations of user privacy that you haven't even stopped to consider who you're attacking. As I said before, most desktop

To make this assertion also makes it clear that you probably haven't worked on much desktop software distributed to a large number of users. There are so many different configurations that the only real way to figure out why it isn't workin

The software sends registration codes to the server for verification. Same as many other software packages, including every modern Microsoft product. As far as I know (I don't work on Blurity, but know the author well) there is no personall

It only comes up if they've already tried to pirate it. It's acting on the idea of price discrimination; the person trying to pirate the software has shown a decreased willingness to pay for the product, so econ theory says to lower the pri

If I'm understanding you correctly, you think only laypeople would search for such a thing because more knowledgeable people think that what the program is doing is mathematically impossible? Sounds like a classic example of thinking you kn

Like I said, being ripped off by licensed cabs isn't an argument for less regulation. It's an argument for something else, possibly more regulation. Show me that cabs don't need licensing and regulation using unlicensed cabs as an example,

You haven't been ripped off by an unlicensed cab before, have you? The licensed cabs operate in a manner that will at least keep them from having their medallion taken away. Unlicensed cabs have nothing to fear.

Saying that you've had bad experiences with regulated taxis is not a counter argument. For all six of those, there is a number you can call to report them. And none of them are all that bad. Get into an unregulated taxi, and you're at their

Yeah, I was using Supervisord before this, but was having some problems with it leaving zombie uwsgi processes around (for sites that needed multiple workers). While looking for an alternative, I came across Emperor. So far it's been great.
