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 time and the other something is not always going wrong. Not sure how to make this anymore obvious. This is a pointless comparison.

Comparing outcomes of natural births as a whole vs scheduled c-sections is far more useful 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-sections is a ridiculous thing to track, go compare GP visits vs admission to emergency while you're at it.

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 transactions I couldn't accurately use YNAB to determine how much was left in the budget. Having an envelope like system built into a bank would be extremely useful.

.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 line code change if you don't like it. Not at all a reason to avoid the framework. It's using newtonsoft for this so it may even be a change in the package itself? Anyway I changed the default and then ended up reverting back anyway since camelCase is a better format when using the objects in JavaScript.

It's not meant to support everything as the goal is cross platform. IMO it's a great platform if you understand its limits.

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 Sedol games just by looking at the final game board.

The beauty of the game is appealing however so I want to get better at it. I'll working on losing more then :)

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 it's hard to weigh up the value of each territory.

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 came out on top which made me question the reasoning behind it.

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 computer did what it did etc. For instance the computer may ignore a capture to play elsewhere and it can be hard to work out why. I learnt to play Chess when I was young so I can't make a fair comparison but it feels like Chess is much easier to self diagnose.

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 this case the bicep muscle vs the same muscles used in a deadlift. If Rousey had a male fighter in an armbar the strength difference is not going to be the deciding factor. Also all fighters know how to defend an armbar, RNC, triangle etc yet they still tap to them.

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 wrong site? Can they claim non-responsibility?

Also what happens when sites start blocking their IPs due to repeated scraping or is this unlikely to happen?

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 alone should be enough to mark it as a success for heavy users. The new task manager is just a bonus.

As far as the start menu is concerned I'd be surprised that any 'power user' would miss it all that much. I always used a launcher (executor) as keyboard trumps mouse for speed and the new UI makes the 3rd party launcher app obsolete. Pressing the windows key and typing the name of the app is something most users could learn and come to appreciate the boost in productivity.

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 learning curve to learn even the basics of how to operate a computer. Having a learning curve does not make something a failure.

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 would be like pedaling as fast as I could. If the bike couldn't handle it then yes, I would say it was the manufacturers fault.
