  12. Re:Why? on Push To End Online Gambling Ban Gains Steam · · Score: 1

    Obviously you don't want the bot to win 100% of the time, but making it win at a much higher than average rate is child's play

    If you are talking about poker, then you have no idea what you are talking about. Some opponent could re-raise the bet forcing the bot to fold while he was bluffing or re-raise while he actually got a very good hand. How the bot can read a bluff? I'm not saying it cannot be done using some machine learning methods, but it's not easy as you make it sound. And sure you cannot make 100% winnings. Especially if your opponents are good players. Moreover, if your opponents can find a pattern in the decisions of the bot then they will exploit it to the bot's lost. The theory of poker says the more mistakes the opponent makes the more he loses his value, and therefore the more you gain value.

  13. Re:There are four planets. on Pluto — a Complex and Changing World · · Score: 2, Informative

    this is funny because the word "planet" comes from the Greek word "planitis" which means "wanderer". From wikipedia:

    In ancient times, astronomers noted how certain lights moved across the sky in relation to the other stars. Ancient Greeks called these planetes asteres: wandering stars or simply planetoi: wanderers, from which today's word "planet" was derived.

    Now you want to change the definition of what a "planet" is while the actual meaning of the word hasn't changed. Imagine "planets" were called "wanderer stars" and then I told you that the definition of a "wanderer star" has nothing to do with movement but with size and whether the object produces hydrogen. So stop calling it "wanderer star" then!
