So in an actual game, the expert human player will outperform the computer because the other humans in the game are exploitable.
No, it won't. Read the article. The game they solved is heads-up limit hold 'em.
There will never be other humans in the game. That's not what they solved.
Indeed, 1/3rd of Belizeans live in the USA, because the economic opportunities are lacking in their country, in no small part due to corruption of local politicians.
There also are incentives to move to Belize, allowing you to move your household possessions, cars, etc. down there tax-free. Just pay the government a small fee.
I've spent time down there, it's a beautiful country, but with an odd mix of enclaves of super-expensive housing developments for expats, and shanty towns for locals.
As an side, my supervisor there was a intelligent lady who was chosen out of 400 applicants. Her response when I told her about the iPhone 2g? "Why would anyone use that? Won't it get finger prints all over it?"
...but cell phones in Japan are so advanced, they are 5 years ahead of the iPhone, it'll never sell there.
Oh wait...
I am becoming increasingly jaded at the USian right wing and their Obamapanic
Really guys, your president is Center-Right from the perspective of the rest of the world, and it is just sad to see him try to meet the right wing halfway in all of his policies, only to be branded a "dirty commie" over and over again...
The USA needs Democrats with balls to propose truly liberal policy, not watered down compromises, imho
Yeah, those damn leftist Russians and Eastern Europeans and Middle Easterners. And let's not forget the socially liberal Chinese, they are commies in name only, so they are leftists.
Oh right, what I meant to say is that Europe is not "the rest of the world." Despite how much as some would like to think so.
In most states, you'll be a registered sex offender for taking a leak in public -- i.e. down a dark alley after a few too many pints. Should it be illegal? Yeah probably. Should it be ambiguous whether you raped a kid or couldn't hold your bladder? I dunno, I don't write laws so I shouldn't have an opinion. Maybe the slashlawer can opine on why these are similar things.
Name the states. Because what you're stating is misinformed urban legend.
My guess is that a study asking these "independent geek" underachievers about nice cars or fine wine or other luxury goods would find them similarly critical. But I suppose the study is correct that for many there is pressure to conform to your social group by proving your non-conformity by disdaining the iPad.
re "scored terribly in the areas of altruism" from OP: The study may have found that we iPad owners scored low in altruism. Whether that is terrible or good is a subjective judgement and in no way addressed in the study. Besides, Internet posters tend to use the word altruism only when they want to hijack the discussion to be about a certain dead philosopher.
Biology grows on you.
