    Comparing outcomes of emergency c-sections to scheduled c-sections is always going to come out in favour of scheduled c-sections. On one side something is going wrong 100% of the t…

    No it’s not. That’s a different comparison.

    "Scheduled c-sections outperform emergency c-sections in every metric tracked." The comparison is natural birth to c-sections. Comparing scheduled c-sections to emergency c-section…

    A smart cheater isn't just going to replicate bot moves and make it easy to detect. They may just use it to decide between 2 moves they were 50/50 on already. Do this 2 or 3 times …

    I've tried YNAB multiple times but would inevitably miss entering a transaction and then it would be a pain reconciling my bank accounts with YNAB. Without tracking the transaction…

    .net core certainly does have security, logging etc. IIS, as opposed to kestral, has more features and you can host under IIS so this is a non issue. The camelCase setting is a one…

    Plus you can generally see who's in front in Chess just by counting the value of the captured pieces. Where as I would not have been able to workout the result of the AlphaGo v Lee…

    That thinking does help, I did read that on one of the sites as well but in some cases the capture appears to mean the loss of territory itself in addition to the actual pieces and…

    Sounds like good advice. I have noticed some of these weird moves using the hint function - at times they've caused me to lose badly so I've gone back and done something else and c…

    I've started playing Go against a computer (SmartGo iOS on a 9x9 board) but I find the hard part is determining where you're making mistakes, what is a better move, why the compute…

    Getting a pro male fighter in an armbar would be unlikely for Rousey however if she got in position I wouldn't bet against her. An armbar works on the principle of leverage, in thi…

    Can you explain why? A large app will not likely make a far greater number of http calls at the same time. If you must have up to date data then I don't see an alternative in somet…

    Isn't it illegal to scrape without permission? How would import.io handle the case when a large site comes back with legal threats when a user of their site has used scraped the wr…

    And in Windows 8 you don't even need to worry about it. After switching to another program the previous program will be suspended and if it takes too long to suspend, terminated. S…

    From a purely desktop perspective I've found Windows 8 to be a positive step overall. As a 'power user' the main benefits I have found are better performance and stability. Those a…

    Users have learnt to open task manager, find the process and click "End Task". That's a whole lot more complicated. I think people forget that at some point everyone went through a…

    1 sided view of the conflict. So are you claiming Hamas is innocent here? That they aren't attacking innoccent civilians?

    Kudos for what? Engaging in illegal activites? Painting a blatantly one sided view of the conflict. Hamas weren't siting by letting their rockets collect dust. You can't claim them…

    That's a poor analogy. The situation of using so many tabs is about making the browser work harder, not in an incorrect manner. So if I was to compare that to riding a bike it woul…
