It sure is a good thing that players' behavior as modeled in games has no effect whatsoever on their offline behavior, or in any way informs us about their attitudes toward the real world. That might be disconcerting.
That is not the interesting part. The players behavior might not match their offline behavior, but it does match the offline behavior of some politicians.
While it is absolutely the case that emoji has no place in certain text fields, as a web browser it is Chrome's responsibility to handle all valid and compliant UTF-8 symbols, including emoji symbols, within the application. Emoji are not some imaginary pseudo-symbol type or image format sent in-line. Where the symbol is seen, an image from a font will be displayed instead of a conventional character. As such, is it really that different than needing to support Cyrillic characters in text fields?
It was already working. This was just allowing Chrome to use the color fonts for Emoji on Mac. They were already supporting color fonts on Linux.
It's kind of the paradox of democracy -- how do you square the rights of a free society against those would use those rights to advocate against them or overthrow them?
You ignore their words and punish them for their actions. If they have a majority you probably shouldn't have a democracy.
Not possible. You need more than a 5% edge over the other players, because for every hand you win, the house is going to take a small cut, and for every hand you lose the house will take a small cut from other players. If there is not a big sucker at the table, the players will leave and look for a better game. Thery are not going to sit around dying a slow death of small rakes to the casino. And if you can't spot the sucker, it's you.
This must be without a house. If it is optimal then two of them should get a draw, and break even. That is not possible if anyone takes a cut.
In this case it is. It is an investment that pays of more than it costs. It in fact better than free, especially since borrowing money right now is free for the government.
Recently I noticed that Texas Hold'em is only half of the game. The betting is the real strategic part. Unless the bot can do this well, I don't it will ever really "beat" a human player.
If it can beat the game and win more time that it loses by simply playing chances optimally (or force a draw), then it can basically get the same benifits as the house; always winning over time.
I didn't think that would be possible with Poker, and would love to see that in practice, but it is what they claim.
From what I understand, thunderbolt is essentially an external PCIe interface. That's inherently insecure. It was bad enough that Firewire gave devices DMA access, but with PCIe it will probably be 10x worse.
Not bad for a desktop (assuming you don't encrypt your disks either), but a terrible idea on a laptop, and especially if you support encryption out the box. What is the point of encryption when you give even faster access to unencrypted memory with a convinient external port?
Web apps don't count, have never counted, and never will count. That's why Apple deigned to allow people to write real apps -- something they adamantly did not want to allow when the iPhone was first released.
The iPhone was designed to only support web-apps. It was only iPhone2 that opened up for native apps after consumer and developer pressure.
No 90 is maximum. Running them at that temperature will reduce their lifespan, hurt other parts of the laptop, and if it is thin burn you if you touch it. Lower is better.
I don't know what you're doing with your laptops to cause such issues, are you working in the Sahara?
Doing actually work probably;)
Joking aside. Some work requires a lot of CPU and that maxes out most modern laptop leaving them at their envolope temperature of 90C. Macbooks are especially reknowned for this as they overheated before everybody else copied them
These high end chips are designed to run at those temperatures. The headline speed is what you get under ideal conditions, e.g. low ambient temperature.
That doesn't mean the laptop needs to overheat. You just need a thicker laptop with a more powerful fan. Then the CPU won't reach 90c.
ThinkPad W-series, or similar thick powerful laptops is a what is needed.
o please, intel has superior cpu, straight out. AMD hasn't had a decent cpu since athlon xp/64. Blaming intel for AMD failure to innovate their cpu is straight up retarded. Intel has the market share they do cause they have made cpu's people want, not slow power hungry piles of silicon.
Go back to the time period we are talking about. The fabs were sold off in 2008 which was when AMD was still a top dog performance wise, but losing money due to Intel illegal deals with OEMs.
ASN.1 has a syntax like Pascal or Ada, mixed with some gimmicks from EBNF. No idea where your XML is coming from, it certainly has nothing to do with ASN.1.
That is has a syntax is not what defines a programming language. A programming language is something you program in, ASN.1 is something you define binary data in, the same way you can declare data in XML.
They are not turing complete programming languages, but they are domain specific programming languages. This is the same as making the argument that SQL is not a programming language since you only use it to define/insert/update/delete data in a database and cannot write general purpose programs without another tool that does provide a turing complete function set. ASN.1 and SMI are formats to describe messages and message data types to be used by another higher level protocol like SNMP, LDAP, X.509, etc.
No, ASN.1 is a syntax like XML is, except more abstract, as it is never used it directly, it is not a programming language. That would be like saying digital numbers is a programming language.. You can stretch it and say they are forms of languages, syntax languages, but that still doesn't make them programming languages.
Anything that promotes professionals over quacks and amateurs is a good thing. Considering the source of health information for most people comes from nonsense planted into the news media by quacks, I can't see anything negative in promoting talking to professionals.
I would also like to know if there is really a "widespread use" of polygraphs. I understood they were almost exclusively used in the US, and that most other countries actually forbade its use as evidence in courts - which would make the use of polygraph a local idiosyncracy rather than a widespread practice.
I think even in the US they are not allowed as evidence. They are used as interogation, but yes, I have never heard of any use outside of the US, at least they fell out of favor around the same time as phrenology.
I wonder why they don't use MRI or some other brain activity visualization technique; Recalling memory and forging a new story must be more distinguishable there than on body movements.
Whoa. The articles says that the babies are bundled up, so I'm sure that they're warm. But regardless of the babies state of dress and temperature, *they leave them outside*??? In the U.S., that would get you arrested for child neglect.
Not entirely true. I've heard that the same thing has been true (and might still be) when travelling Brussels-Schiphol-USA. That is sometimes cheaper than simply Schiphol-USA, even on the same plane. Or maybe the EU has put a stop to this. It's certainly a sign of weird pricing shenanigans going on, and the EU is generally not a big fan of that.
I think that is because the direct lines get sold out first and most airlines have a structure where the tickets get more expensive as the plane is getting full. Therefore going over a larger hub like Schiphol/Amsterdam can save money especially if it is a short side-trip. If I order in the last minute, I also end up having to choose between 150€ for a direct connection or 80€ for a one stop over a larger hub. I have never seen any way prices to major hubs can be reduced the way this article is talking about. Though maybe people flying to or from Frankfurt or Vienna might want to chime in on that, I use them rarely, and if anywhere in Europe does something like that, it would be there.

Apple wouldn't stop supporting devices that still count for 60% of their own statistics.
No, they just do that with those under 40%.

Are you high?
While your posts sounds great you really need to cut down on the drug, man.
Nature is not a person and neither is science, and they get really pissed off then you treat them as such.

PKH is a great man most of the time, but when he is wrong or fell overlooked, he is indistinguishable from a troll.
I like the fact IETF keeps this revision simple. The last thing we need is something overengineered that will never be implemented fully.
Not possible.

That is why it is limit poker. Besides all games have limits acknowledged or not.
Think of the robot as the house, it might not win everytime but it always wins in the long run.

Different than recalling your cover story?
Haswell was underwhelming, and this as a 'tock' is basically Haswell SE. Now with even more minor improvements.
Well, you can't blame them for giving AMD a chance to catch up, it was looking grim with the first 3 generations of Intel Core architectures.
Any game where I can say "I've got wood for sheep" is tops in my book.
Stoned need wood.
Whoa. The articles says that the babies are bundled up, so I'm sure that they're warm. But regardless of the babies state of dress and temperature, *they leave them outside*??? In the U.S., that would get you arrested for child neglect.
Yes, that happens: http://www.nytimes.com/1997/05...
Let go though, because there is no neglect involved. We are just not living in constant fear of things that are mostly imaginary.
