Not if you subscribe to the entirety of his post, which included prices falling due to higher buying costs, resulting in paying the same total amount, but with more of it going to interest. That makes it a better way to make use of an extra $20. That's his idea. I'm not endorsing it, but that's what he's saying, so no broken window fallacy.
You should give up on this notion of the "One True English." It varies around the world. The most common spoken version of English by far is bad English, used by people speaking it as a second or third language.
And this is supposed to be an argument against jQuery?
On the internet, people reach a opinion first and then come up with reasons why, so often the reasons only make sense in that context. And oh yeah, besides the internet that happens everywhere else too.
For one, because there may well be some slashdotters who worked with him and can expand on what affect this might have on one or another Google project. Something you wouldn't find on a mainstream site.
It's not about lying or decoying. It's about making the best decisions. You want AI that's capable of making good decisions even when the information is incomplete.
Poker games take time (hours), people grow tired, computers don't.
This is a good point. Computers have no emotion, either. Even the best human players are affected to some small degree by their emotions, especially when they are tired.
People struggle at memorizing chances, taking shortcuts, computers have exact picture talking into account every single bit.
Not much of an issue in Hold 'em. Good players can handle those odds with little effort.
All one needs is behavior that is random enough, for human players not to guess if computer is bluffing.
You of course don't want the human to be able to guess when the computer is bluffing, but it's certainly not "all one needs." Not by a long shot.
Then, of course, there is luck factor, so results will fluctuate quite a bit.
Yes. They'll be playing 1500 hands per day, but in no limit hold 'em the outcome often comes down to a handful of key hands.
MS probably spends more on political lobbying, advertising, and marketing than they spend on research.
For extraordinarily small values of probably. Lobbying is measured in millions, unlike the billions for research. And for whatever it's worth, Google spends more on lobbying than Microsoft does. Or anybody else.
Medium.com explains it all. It's essentially blogspot disguised as a news site.
I don't think Medium has ever purported to be a news site. It's doesn't look like one, it doesn't cover the news. It's a collection of stories. Not news stories, just stories. Thinking otherwise "explains it all".
I had the same notion. Originally I was considering the midrange Watch (stupid names they used make it so hard to talk about!), but after seeing early reviews from people I trust I look on this one as a "throwaway." I got the cheapest one, and will then take a fresh look when gen 2 comes out. I expect it will be more like gen 2.5, as the current one was delayed by perhaps six months or so, and the hardware frozen long ago.
For $350 less whatever I can sell it for, I didn't even really consider not getting one. I don't expect to be thrilled, but I expect it to be useful.
Gotta love it when Apple just randomly stops supporting something.
You think it was intentional? Maybe so (I don't know), but that seems rather unlikely. Even if for some strange reason they wanted to discontinue support for XP, they wouldn't just switch it off.
He's playing a game of brinkmanship. And he can afford the consequences if he loses. But he won't lose. Either the neighbors will cave in on the film studio or they'll find a way to stop him. Those are the only two outcomes. The housing will never happen.

They do it simply to maintain an orderly market. It's not magic. When trading resumes it doesn't fix your poorly performing stock.

No you didn't.
Even newer corollary: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a misapplication of Godwin's Law approaches 1.

So you fix washing machines?

You assert you're going to be factual, and then you say an absurd thing like "twice the specs."

I believe you considerably underestimate the basement-dwelling demographic.

You have a very unique way of putting things.
What glasses do you use? Have a link?

Used to be a fussy TV no matter the weather. And a pair of pliers to change the channel because the crappy plastic knob fell off.
I'm rather skeptical that that is actually possible to do.
In the beginning there was nothing. And God said "Let there be light."
And there was still nothing. But you could see it.
Maybe they're dyslexic.
