The relevant quote here is, "People don't gamble on Chess."

A luck element lets players of uneven skill feel engaged. Even better is a great handicapping system like Go has, but that's notoriously hard to design.

Chess is a great game at certain skill levels and has a lot of beauty to it, but games with enough of a skill difference aren't really interesting for either player unless the better player is teaching/mentoring.

So yeah, luck has some place in letting different people (and even gamble) together.

I am not trying to obfuscate. And I am sorry if i sounded condescending when I mentioned "getting it".

When you dream at night, and see yourself in a "body", is the mind and consciousness of that body your real consciousness. Is that body's brain creating your real consciousness. If science points to that consciousness, then there is a strong possibility of it being the wrong consciousness. The consciousness of the sleeping person is the real one. The same applies here too.

Normally, since the conscious state is one of low awareness, one is not aware in deep sleep and swoon. However, when one practices being aware and raises the level of awareness, one is conscious in all states. All this becomes very apparent as one raises one's awareness and comes out of "mind consciousness" -- continuously living in thought.
In Texas Hold 'Em, competitive matches are rarely decided in a single hand; rather, they are played out over many hands through the course of a day. When you average out over dozens of hands, a substantially worse player actually does have an almost zero chance of besting a superior player.
Even supposing (as aarghh points out) that the unconsumed money is reinvested in the US economy, I think it's important to ask, what part of that economy? I would expect most of it goes back into the financial services industry -- banks, hedge funds, etc.

I think we as a society have to deal with the fact that the financial services industry is more and more about extracting wealth from the rest of the economy and that it is producing less and less of real value relative to its profits.
Windows 7 tablet PC wholesale
The market appear many Windows XP tablet PC and Windows 7 tablet PC, these tablet computer run the operation system supplied by Microsoft, the Microsoft really just wanna always as a OS supplier? Everyone curious about that why did the Microsoft and Google not release their own-brand tablet PC. The Microsoft declared Windows 7 not the operation system aim at tablet PC, so when they launched the Windows 8 whether will released own-brand tablet PC.
I worked in live tv (news and local events) for about ten years until recently. It's tough to watch the news when every few minutes you want to call into the headset and start yelling at people.

"Pan! Left!"
"Wrong graphic."
"... That video had NOTHING to do with anything. What the hell?"

The worst part though, is when I notice and no one else does. I know they're not paying attention like I am, but when you know something so well, it's hard not to consider the mistake glaring; your frame of reference has changed that much.
in this case, saying "there's a chance" is the same as saying it's impossible to prove either which way.
How does this relate to freebase.org? I see some of the js ajaxing to the freebase API.
Yes. In Starcraft, it is not uncommon for players to attempt to force a win by going for an all-in strategy that sacrifices long-term income for lots of first-tier combat units. The chance aspect is that there are more starting locations than there are players. If your opponent does not find you quickly enough and you are relatively close, both of which are purely matters of chance, you can overrun them, almost regardless of skill differences.

Custom web design
I was tempted to post some Halo examples (not to mention Morrowind!), as I was really big into the Halo:CE jumping community back in, oh, 2001/2002. I have many, many fond memories of halo.bungie.org and the like — in fact, I remember seeing sneaky Halo-related hints on Bungie's website before they even did the famous reveal during a Macworld keynote (with you-know-who): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2obYHzJ3n8.

Then, Halo 2 came out with off-the-shelf Havok physics replacing the (wonderfully) "buggy" penalty springs-based physics from H:CE. Because Havok was "more-realistic", it was extremely difficult to do the sort of insane physics-stunting the first game allowed. It was this single change that turned me off of the rest of the Halo series.

Like Super Metroid, H:CE was a magnificent case of the weaknesses in code allowing for brilliant system-breaking ingenuity on the part of users. And as long as video game devs are forcing themselves to the very bleeding edge of technology under a merciless deadline, we're bound to see more "glitchy" games offering plenty of opportunity to enterprising and creative sequence-breakers, speedrunners, stunters, and the like.

Are you saying that if welfare benefits were reduced we'd have a lower unemployment rate? That a significant number of the currently unemployed have decided to remain unemployed because welfare is good enough?

That's certainly an effect to consider, but I really wonder whether it's actually significant in the US - welfare in the US is not particularly generous compared to a lot of developed countries, and I don't know that so many people really would find it a good enough alternative to working that I can believe they're really turning down reasonable jobs in favor of being on the dole. If this was, say, Ireland, where the government will literally put you up in a house and give you spending money if you don't have a job, I'd say it was reasonable to blame that for a lot of the unemployment problems, but here, I just don't see it - the unemployment rates have been pretty closely aligned with the economy as a whole, which makes me think it's the availability of work that's the issue, not the willingness to take it on.

Mb key
if the person creating this fake profile hadn't used this guy's e-mail address, this guy probably would have never known his home address was being given out. seems like in this case, not having to verify the e-mail address was beneficial to this guy so i'm not sure why he's so angry that no e-mail verification was needed.

though, what does he expect to do with the ip address from okcupid? contact the isp and ask for a home address? i can pretty much guarantee that the isp won't give out any information without a subpoena, or at the very least, a formal request coming from a proper law-enforcement agency. if he wants to do anything other than go beat up the guy that posted his information, he should contact the police, have them subpoena okcupid for the ip address and timestamp information, which they will have to provide in the subpoena to the isp.
I reckon an Amazon store that serves as an interface to their online store might be good. Don't sell books there, but rather you go in, and can browse through books, drink coffee etc just like a Borders store, and if you have a kindle, you can buy books on the spot, if you don't, you can order them shipped to your house. That way they only need a 1-2 copies of each book in the store, just as display stock. They could sell kindles there, and have computers/tablets for purchasing online (even perhaps let you buy books through your kindle app on iOS/android by scanning barcodes/qr codes). Staff could teach people how to use Amazon/kindles etc. Book signings/launches could also be held there.

That's basically how I've used Borders here in Australia before they went bust. I would go in, and enjoy the atmosphere of the physical book store, flick through books, and then take photos of them and go home and buy them online via Kindle or Book Depository for half the price. I don't mind if I don't get the book instantly (though I would anyway if it was out on kindle), I just enjoy browsing. It would be a good sales generator for Amazon with still a fairly low overhead.
As I said in my original complaint: I, and many others, spent a lot of time figuring out how to write apps that do it the "app engine way"

That included learning NoSQL. At least that part was not a waste. There are no right answers to your questions, there are only right actions, starting with stepping outside the SQL box and writing an app using NoSQL. I started by thinking of a simple app that would be useful to me personally. I knew java servlets, I knew SQL, I knew all sorts of things, but after several iterations my app is architected like no app/server I've ever written before. Almost every iteration involved starting doing it the way I knew how, running into either roadblocks or major cognitive dissonance, and then rewriting it to fit these new-fangled constraints. Its been a huge learning experience. You might like to try it.

I don't think you can realistically quantify whatever it is that goes on in the mind of Steve Jobs that sets him apart. Apple fired him and later took him back. I recently read an article which described that to the effect of "he launched Apple twice". It seems to me the words "genius" and "genie" are related and likely this is because whatever goes on inside the minds of some people is so brilliant it might as well be magic to the rest of us. He has something in him that no one else can quite grasp or replicate, some unique combination of knowledge, experience, thought process, perspective and god-knows-what-else which adds up to something that other people simply cannot understand much less do. You can analyze it to death all you want and it won't change it: Other people still won't be able to do whatever it is he does that made Apple what it is.

Not to say analysis has no value. Good, solid analysis has potential to help other people do better. But there is a reason for what this article is calling "the Eureka Myth" and basically some people cannot be entirely demystified, try as we might, even though they may be fully cooperative and making no attempt to "hide" anything.

Van Gogh also admitted, in a letter to his brother Theo, to using deliberately exaggerated colors because he suspected the pigments he used were of such poor quality that they'd quickly fade to something more sensible.

Yes, but my point was that science is its own field of human thought, not merely an emergent property of sufficient skill in Math and English. Deductive reasoning, single-variable analysis, control experiments...these are all skills which I would classify as "science". These are skills that I learned very early on in my education (6th and 7th grade, primarily), and I feel they were key in guiding me down my present path.

Right now you're probably pissed, and rightfully so. But once you've had the perspective of time, you will realize that it's best to just close the door on this chapter of your life and move on to bigger, better things.
Did he really say that $5 trillion dollars went into the pockets of bank executives?

Is he aware that there is about $10 trillion dollars of money in the entire US? (M2 and lower money supply.)

So basically the personal accounts of bankers has half of all the money in the US?

I didn't say there were no equations in Biology (would be rather silly of me to say so, since my doctoral dissertation is based on equations applied to biology), only that Biology is a good example of science that is not strictly the application of equations.

Another way to state the point I was attempting to make: while modern physicists can derive many new insights from ages old equations (or manipulations thereof), Newton was tasked with creating the equations from scientific first-principles. It is this skill (the ability to formulate scientific frameworks) which would be lost if scientific education is neglected.

JavaDocs: does Oracle think this is more readable?
Not "less dependent on them", rather state it: "fewer of them to be serviced by". I am the first to suggest that biology needs many more equations than it currently has. But deriving those equations will not come from studying math, but rather from studying science.

Neither. Many an economic theory has foundered and sunk on the rock of objective value, no matter how defined.

But somebody may yet prove the economists wrong. So the first step in any discussion of the grandparent post must be to work out what he meant by 'real value'. What is it? How is it recognised? By whom?

The banks don't spend the money, they stuff it in the Fed. The bankers dont spend the money (as you point out), they put it in bank, or in treasuries, or they buy stock (and then the seller puts it in a bank, or in treasuries, or they buy stock). Or they pay off some debt. Sometimes, rarely, the money is invested in a small company that actually creates jobs. However, if I was rich and didn't give a shit about my fellow citizens, I'd be investing in emerging economies, not the USA. Any evidence bankers are like that?

New jobs come from small businesses. $5t would jump start a lot of small businesses.

The irony is that if that $5t were invested in small businesses etc, the bankers would probably be making just as much if not more.
AMAZING !

so.. what are you guys gonna do about it?
Its out of control down there! 30 years for a tweet (despite the panic it caused) while drug lords roam around like kings... c'mon people, twitter is not your primary source of news for potential emergencies of this caliber. But yeah the story is a bit fuzzy on some of the details. eh.
Sorry, I completely disagree with this post, 100%

First off, I want to say this right away- Its total bullshit that some user targeted you like this and you definitely have a right to get a subpoena for OKC to give you the users IP and to delete the account

However I dont agree with your hate towards OKC- You cant give them shit for:

Not giving you the Account information/IP just because you asked:
Giving that info to you without a legal order just makes them liable personally. You want the IP? You need to send legal notice. What would happen if it was some abused woman who OKCupid gave their account info out to her abuser? Yeah- Get a legal order if you want that info. Not OKC's fault, They are following (wise) legal advice.

Not requiring email validation-
So what? They could have done the same thing posting your details to pastebin.com or just not used your email in the first place. Actually, seeing as how the account is registered to you, why dont you just login and delete it? Not requiring email validation means nothing. In fact, Email validation is basically worthless nowadays (Similar to captchas) and just annoys users.

Finally- Saying what you said in that post is rather stupid. Threatening to "get ugly" and that you have a "actionable case" - If this was against a company I was involved in, our lawyers would basically cut us off from any communication at all. Now that you have said that, your only action is to actually get a subpoena vs if you took a nicer tone, they might have deleted the account for you.

Additionally- I doubt OKC is in any risk themselves for this so threatening to sue them is silly. the CDA basically absolves them from any liability for user content so the best result you can get from "suing" them is that you would lose. Worst case is you pay their legal costs also.

You want the IP? Get a subpoena. Thats how its done.

Once you do get the subpoena, rake the bastard over the coals for libel :)
