You're really twisting what happened here. It wasn't so much "yanked" as it was "replaced". I was initially against the idea, but soon got around to it. It was a very risky and daring move by the government, but it was a good one.

Not exactly, there exist various approximations for some problems which give a better solution than brute force.

I don't understand this, AFAIK a problem is NP-Hard or NP-Complete (or P) in _general_, that is, over all instances. But not so for a specific instance. Wouldn't these games count as just one specific instance of the problem?

How did you learn these topics? Did you solve problems for each of them?

If someone wants a more detailed explanation about the gates mentioned in the blog, consider reading the introductory chapter to 'Quantum Computation and Quantum Information' by Neilsen and Chuang.

I don't think the author necessarily means being a CEO is an unworthy line of work. What he wants us to understand from this is that it's futile deriving one's worth from the fact that he's the CEO and that he has the ability to boss other people around, but instead he must seek worthiness from the fact that he has the potential to bring about significant change in this world; more than most people could, because like you said, he is not just some "cog in the wheel", but someone who is in charge of many like-minded people who belive in him.

Wow this feels tailor made for people like me. I want to do further studies in deep learning after I graduate, but I'm not really keen on spending 4/5 years of my life on it. I'll be keeping an eye on this....

What I learnt on 1v1 was that you should keep travelling towards the opposite corner of the map, forming one or two very thin attack lines, to surprise them in the beginning itself.

Sometimes I used the first, weaker one as a recon team, so that they give me the king's location before they are slaughtered, and then the second, stronger one comes in from an altogether different route and finishes them.
