It's not the opposite either. Chess is a game of skill, poker is also a game of skill. The difference is that chess is deterministic and poker is not. Chess skill means being able to forcefully convert a winning or drawing position. Po

I think the author needs to come up with a different title because it's highly misleading. The author's premises are also highly exaggerated. For starters, the game of chess has not stopped evolving, because our chess engines cont

I never said it was the most intuitive, just the most streamlined and most efficient. I'm having a hard time understanding why you think it's not the best organized. Most math courses are taught with a pretty straight forward appr

Math is presented in a way that's supposed to be organized, compact, and categorical. If we taught math the same way math was proven and discovered, it would be so slow and inefficient that we would still be covering linear algebra in

How to really multiply Roman numerals: convert them to Arabic numeral notation, multiply them (use a calculator or your favorite algorithm), and convert them back to Roman numerals. It's very interesting to discuss this from a cultural

It's a profitability issue, not a logistics issue. It would not be profitable to convert that natural to electricity if it was used for anything besides Bitcoin. And worry not, this is benefiting you even if you don't like cryptoc

If you make a Bitcoin address, memorize the private key, and never write it down ever, then the only way for anyone to "reverse" transactions is to force you to physically say or write down the private key. This transaction finali

You know what? You're 100% right and I agree with you. I am wrong here. But still by your definition of logic, anyone can logically conclude it's a scam. Just make the assumption that people don't give out money for free, whi

Could have but did not want to? I want to use crypto and so do plenty of other people. That's why the option to use crypto on craigslist even exists. First, it was criminals, now it's the planet. You are all over the place my guy.

Actual, deductive logic can't be used in any scientific field because we don't have scientific objective truths. Science is based on inductive reasoning and constant hypothesis checking. Plenty of scientific facts we once thought

I don't think the strictest sense of "logic" has much use outside of pure math. Using commonplace definition of "logical=rational", it's logically refutable. Any rational person should be able to reason out tha

You can create a smart contract where only a set group of people (ie, the devs) can mint NFTs. You cant just mint arbitrary nfts whenever you want, that's why they are unique.

Only this time, the database is global and multiple independent games can all be using a common set of NFT resources that can be unique and transferred from one game to another. COD could release some NFT for a uniform or a gun or something

Because the nft can be used in any game at any point in the future. It's not just one game with one database. It can be multiple independent games all using the same resources that can be transferred from one game to another.
