To add to that, Vote Leave used AggregateIQ which is essentially the same company as CA.

As a general nerd I feel like this is a common experience and one that I've quite enjoyed when reading countless sci-fi/fantasy books.

You start of and many cultural references or things seem completely alien and only start to click once you're part way through.

>Brexit vote should never have been legally binding

It should have been legally binding, if it had been then it could have been challenged in court and very likely would have been overturned due to the cheating of the leave campaigns.

If you read a little further the reason for the study not mentioning serious causes of stress becomes apparent -

>the survey of 2,000 American millennials, commissioned by CBD oil company

It's basically an ad for CBD. "Take this to stop worrying about instagram likes and traffic jams." might shift some units but "Take this to stop giving a shit about climate change." probably wouldn't sit well with the target market.

Problem with the Tories not blinking is that they don't have a majority in parliament. They're currently being propped up (they have a confidence and supply arrangement) by the DUP who are very much against a sea border and would likely vote against a deal that had a sea border and doing so could bring down the government.

There are ongoing investigations into the leave campaigns (which Wetherspoons was a part of), new evidence was published last week and a few people are appearing in front of a HoC committee this week.

So the timing isn't really odd and I don't think they're doing it because they're sorry about supporting Brexit. There's a reasonable chance that they've shared data or spent funds in a way that would find them on the wrong side of the investigation.

Depends on what the streamers thing is really, someone like Arteezy can easily pull in 10-20k viewers without even using a mic or cam.

Though for people like him streaming isn't what they use to make a living either.

Opinion pieces have a bright orange banner and use that same colour elsewhere in the articles, it's also used on the links to the opinion pieces. What else could they be doing to point out the difference? How could they make it more clear than heavy use of colour coding?

It's very misleading. It's not a Dota 2 AI it's a 1v1 SF mid AI. It's not undefeated, Suma1l and another pro beat it.

I think there is a fair argument for Dota being vastly more complex than Go but there almost certainly isn't for 1v1 SF mid.

I haven't actually made an 'It's impressive.. but' comment yet but I've wanted to so here's why I'd say that.

Firstly, much like most things a lot of the press releases have been pretty disingenuous. I'm pretty salty about Elon Musks tweet -

> OpenAI first ever to defeat world's best players in competitive eSports. Vastly more complex than traditional board games like chess & Go.

1v1 SF mid is several orders of magnitude less complex than an actual game of dota and probably a lot less complex than chess & Go as well. More than that, 1v1 showcases haven't been a thing for quite a while now for good reasons, the last time they did a 1v1 showcase was at TI4 (in 2014). When they did these the format was best of 3 with the first two games being QoP VS Puck and then the decider would be SF VS SF. This was done because QoP VS Puck is a very mind gamey, strategic, match-up whereas SF VS SF heavily emphasizes mechanical skill where you can snowball off of last hits and denies, giving the match-up more of a sudden death feel. You'd expect a bot to be very good at the SF match-up but struggle with the QoP / Puck match-up where there is a lot more decision space.

To go back to what I said about 1v1 showcases not really being a thing anymore: Back in Dendi's day mid was actually a solo lane but these days in a real game the mid has to constantly be aware of support rotations. The bots super aggressive positioning would be heavily punished even in fairly low MMR pubs so I suspect the pros have deeply ingrained positioning rules that make them hesitate rather than match the bots stance.

All that said, the bot is really impressive and I can't wait for the 5v5 bot next year. It will be super interesting to see what strats it goes for and how much it emphasizes the bots inhuman reaction times / micro skill.

Swap out 'cereal box' for 'WoW char' or similar and it's already a reality for some.

> Americans subsidize drugs for the rest of the world.

Complete nonsense. I see this regurgitated again and again with nothing to back it up and it falls apart under the slightest inspection.

> a massive voter-base of disenfranchised American workers, nearly completely ignored by the administrations of the past 25 years.

I think most people accept that but it does still leave the question, 'why Trump?'

+1 for Robert Welch knives, have a few myself. My friend, who's a CDP at a double starred place, said they were comparable to his Globals when he tried them out too.
