Not that long ago, early learning maths were about learning the tables, being quick at multiplying and understanding some basic problems. I feel that today that is not going to be enough and is not either the best use of the pupils time for teachers and schools. What do we humans have to change about teaching to face a future with much more powerful machines and sophisticated AI?

You are totally correct that while Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, its transactions are recorded on a public blockchain, which means they can be traced and analysed. It is pseudo anonymous really, not fully visible as the original holder is not known unless they want to be known but cryptocurrencies like Monero (XMR) might be a better choice. Monero is designed to offer enhanced privacy features,

It is likely that the game designers and developers would adapt and evolve the games to maintain their level of challenge and engagement for human players. However Poker is what it is, and it is not going to change that much. AI stands a chance of winning, as the rules are quite precise and always the same. The AI managed to defeat some F-16 Aces when the rules where set and general understanding mattered less.

If you have personally tried the strategy an method mentioned by the OP in question and found it ineffective, then it is important to trust your own experiences rather than whatever other may tell you and have your own judgment. Strategies or systems claiming to guarantee consistent wins in gambling are often scams and can lead to further unhindered losses.

Smoking and drinking are bad habits too (for your health) and people still do them… the main idea is the same. Some people just don’t give a damn. Some people gamble just because they like it, they don’t care if they get rich or not from gambling at all. Some other people are greedy and they want to turn their 1 coin into 10 coins… some people play just to pass the time while they are waiting for someone. There are many other reasons too.
Long story short; Gambling fills a need in life and as long as that need exists, the gambling industry will not disappear from this world.
Yes, smoking and drinking alcohol is a very bad habit for our body, yes we are all known that our body needs some alcohol but not too much because it will lead us to addiction and once we are in addict to that thing our self-control will be lost and every day We involve in it. Just like in gambling if we are too much greedy and we don't have self-control then we can say that most of a time we will want to gamble. As humans that we are, it is crucial for us to understand and explore the true reasons behind these urges and find safer alternatives to satisfy them. This includes promoting responsible practices, raising awareness ..., providing support for individuals who may be struggling with gambling issues, and calling for regulations that prioritize consumer protection, critical in gambling if you ask me. |

I think everyone knows that there are high wagering requirements for bonuses that you claim with a deposit, but are there also wagering requirements for the bonuses that you get as a weekly or monthly reward for what you've wagered so far? I mean if you are a VIP member and you are given a certain amount of free spins or some money based on your wagers of the month or week, are those bonuses also subject to some requirements?
VIP or Loyalty program are good and they help you to maximize your profits. Still, they don't guarantee your winning, they are just like free multiplier which supports immensely to your win. Although it is not that easy to become a VIP member or be part of a loyalty program as you need to first fulfill certain t&c. One of those terms in general is to be a high wager client. There is nothing wrong with it as they are meant to attract gamblers to wager more and earn incentives. You are correct that casinos offer bonuses for good reasons, and nothing is truly free in the sense that there are underlying business reasons behind these offers. Casinos use bonuses as a marketing tool to attract new players, retain exising ones, and make them to spend more money on their sites. The bonuses are designed to provide an incentive for players to choose a particular casino over its competitors as well, so that is to be taken into account aswell. |

Wooops... Surovikin seems to have been arrested as being linked to the Wagner march to (near) Moscow.
It's funny how the same z-nut "voyenkors" that just a few days ago were claiming Surovikin will replace Gerasimov now call him a traitor. The pseudo-coup really did a number on putinists, they don't know which lies to believe. Just look at be.open flailing here trying to make it sound like Lukashenko can threaten NATO... by throwing sacks of potatoes over the border wall into Poland I assume. Meanwhile Putin (allegedly) is hugging people in Dagestan of all places, a bizarre departure from mile-long tables and week-long quarantines. Desperate for PR apparently. There is quite a bit of fog on Surovikin's location to be honest. My hope was that he took care of the war, as I trust his incompetence even more than the rest of the Psychos. Anyway, I am here looking at the crystal ball seeing F-16 supporting a stronger attack in a months time, direction wise, could be from Kherson direction, however I dare not suppose that it cannot be in three fronts (Kherson, Zapo an donbas as it seems to be happening now). My personal choice would be Kherson as it is less expected and perhaps less defended. Re deploying troops near Poland, oh... just give NATO a excuse ... pleeeeease |

Wooops... Surovikin seems to have been arrested as being linked to the Wagner march to (near) Moscow. Quite interestingly someone has to pay for the shitstorm and this is the choosen one for the purpose. What a shame, he was quite incompetent and would have been the perfect (for Ukraine) general to take charge of the war of aggression in Ukraine.
Curious that when you are the weakest, you need to do this type of stuff.

You are just getting to the ridiculous point of trying for this show to be somehow a "Western" failure?
So... one of your "generals" go rogue, takes a city, stops short of reaching Moscow, Putin flies to lastly having to say at the same time that all his men are pardoned and free to do whatever they want, then you say he is a criminal, but also thank your puppet Luka for giving allowing him to go away without having to hunt and judge the guy...
Is that the Eastern version of "being in control"? Because I am liking more the "Western" one here.
Look, Putin fucked up, "the West" is all right with it, no problem if it was or not known, it is just another RF clownlike failure and "the West" is only concern is having someone that is not nuts having the "button to end the world". Hint: Putin minimally qualifies.
I think that the relocation of Wagner to Belarus in the status of "fugitive rebels" is a very strong move by Russia in the proxy war with the West. Polish President Duda, confirming this idea, recently spoke in the style that "the relocation of Wagner PMC to Belarus is "negative" for Poland." Just imagine how much noise Wagner's unforced redeployment to Belarus would have made shortly after the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons there. And so everything seems to be fine, keep thinking that Putin fucked up.  Tactical nukes in Belarus are not of more concern than the ones in Karelia. Relocating Wagner could have been done anyway without any of this. Putin did crap it by: - Not being able to settle peacefully, quietly and quickly an internal dispute. - Making it clear that his control is thin as a feather and his leadership as light. - Actually sending quite good troops to a non-critical area hen they are most needed in the front. So... yes, he did fuck up. |

I watched Putin’s speech this morning and am surprised with the Wagner mutiny situation. I did not see that coming. I wonder if anyone did. It seems like this war has gone far better than expected for Ukraine. More recently though it appears that this situation may end peacefully for Russia with Wagner reportedly no longer moving towards Moscow, which may swing the war back in their favor.
It is only natural and that coincided with advance of Ukrainian troops in territories that were since 2014 under Donetsk People Republic command.The coup I find it very stupid from Prigozhin to not continue it as he found Moscow government totally unprepared for such offensive,it shows how weak is Russia and how easily tanks can enter their territory if they want and this is of course really bad for Putin regime,anyone now who want to try his luck against Kremlin can do so as the Kremlin not punishing Prigozhin put a really dangerous precedent. Because taking Moscow with 25.000 mercenaries gets you killed and would not change in any case the government, since the rest of the army and many other critical support that are needed to keep power (e.g. GRU) are not with you. While the army may be busy in Ukraine, they would still most likely be loyal to Putin. This was never about taking power, it was about getting the paycheck and avoiding the effective dissolution of Wagner into the kleptokrat's black-hole that is the general RF army. |

Military experts from the Institute for the Study of War are vainly minding not their own business Their business is literally analyzing armed conflicts around the world. It's why they are called The Institute for the Study of War. Prigozhin never even verbally criticized Putin, in Russia it is somehow not customary to bite the hand that feeds you. The mercenaries of the Wagner group either have a pro-Putin position, or are completely apolitical, more loyal to Putin than Wagner, only bodyguards from his personal guard. This is the only reason why Wagner could exist at all for so long, being outside the legal field (mercenarism in Russia is a criminal offense, Article 359 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
ps By Wagner, I mean the main core of the Wagner group, not including the former prisoners who temporarily joined it, recruited on six-month contracts specifically for the assault on Bakhmut.
Are you really trying to make the argument that Putin had Prigozhin pretend to stage an attempted insurrection that resulted in Russia losing control of it's military headquarters closest to the front line, have images of Russian helicopters exploding and highways being dug up to slow down the tanks rolling towards Moscow, was all part of Putins plan? Have you considered what he promised in his speech Saturday morning, compared to what actually happened, and the fact he hasn't been seen since? You think this is the kind of scenario that Putin would manufacture? I'm just expressing my opinion. There was no loss of control over the headquarters in Rostov, these are your empty fantasies, which are not confirmed by any significant changes in the front line during the "mutiny". I think that this was a psychological operation to identify a high-ranking mole in the Russian General Staff, which was successfully carried out by the Wagner group. This will not lead to a weakening of the Russian army, but rather the opposite. But let's not make hasty conclusions, but wait for official announcements about personnel changes. I think not only the identified mole will fall under the personnel purge, but also a number of "parquet" generals who are quite loyal to Putin, for their incompetence. 1. Destroyed about 20 military pilots, 1 plane 4 helicopters  2. Power fled from Moscow 3. There was no resistance. It is confirmed that one part of it went to the side of the PMC. 4. PMC in Rostov and Voronezh greeted as liberators. 5. Seizure of the headquarters of the Southern Military District is officially confirmed. 6. Yesterday, the president called them traitors, traitors, state criminals, and today - they are all acquitted, no cases, no investigations! What "moles? This is a very pathetic and ridiculous attempt to make up a "serious story" Do you know what was the funniest thing for me in this serious story, which in a few words can be called "a tank stuck at the circus gate"? This is a panic in the West with the emergency activation of the Cobra plan, because none of the Western intelligence agencies could foresee that this would happen. Of course, in hindsight, it seems the CIA said that it was aware, but did not tell anyone, but this is bullshit, because if the CIA knew, then of course it would have warned Ukraine and it would have taken advantage of the moment more successfully, and not looked as if spellbound at what was happening in a static the role of the spectator. For the Western intelligence services, this is a disaster, because the Western mentality understands the phrase "control the situation" in a peculiar way. For them, this means not having a direct hand on the control panel, but simply being aware of what is happening. And this almost manic desire to "be aware of what is happening" last Saturday failed. You are just getting to the ridiculous point of trying for this show to be somehow a "Western" failure? So... one of your "generals" go rogue, takes a city, stops short of reaching Moscow, Putin flies to lastly having to say at the same time that all his men are pardoned and free to do whatever they want, then you say he is a criminal, but also thank your puppet Luka for giving allowing him to go away without having to hunt and judge the guy...

The Ukrainian advances seem to be getting more serious, without yet being a breakthrough. It is likely that the "first line" of defence (wrong name, the first line is the front) will be reached in two weeks. The task is not easy, but everyday it seems more clear that the RF cannot defend all the front at the same time despite having still many troops deployed. On Wagner going here and there... it would be funny if it were not for Russia having nukes. ...
70t military grade enriched material accumulated by Ukraine & sponsors at Zaporozhye Nuclear plant
...
Without even going into the veracity of this and given your "expertise" in the mater, could you point out ANY active nuclear energy central anywhere that does not keep highly radioactive materials that could potentially have dual use? This is like your "biolabs" posts. Can you provide any example of any hospital of a reasonable size that does not have a "biolab"? |

In fact the success has been so great that around 250.000 moles have been identified (pretty much every single RF soldier and officer). Meanwhile Wagner got his pay, seems like there are good news for Ukraine. Surovikin will be commanding On the terrain gains, sorry to dissapoint but there have been gains in the form of small advances. Most interestingly, there seems to be a small bridge head in the Antonov bridge east side. Ukraine could potentially drive another vector of attack from Kherson. Sounds like Belgium to me. |

This situation is quite simple. There is a guy with enough troops to be a problem and the top Psychos of the RF army are jealous and thinking they may have to share part of the usual profits they make. They have tried to undercut Prigozhin over and over so the guy, who does not lack balls, did something about it. Since it is in everyone in the RF benefit to overlook all this and go back to fighting Ukraine, it was quite simple to reach a mafia deal.
This reminds me so much of the Roman Republic and later of the Empire. This was like every 5 years - soldiers were loyal to their generals that rewarded them generously for it. Sila, Cayus Marius, Pompeyo, Julius Cesar,... all of them were in a similar situation and it must be said that it did not always ended in negotiations.
No Psy-ops, no trap (for what? there is no benefit to war on any of this) ... just plain old money and power - quite proper of a country run by kleptocrats like the RF.

Really? Want to bet that its just show and Prigozhin will back off soon?
I bet that that is just a show but why was that necessary? At some point it damaged Putin's reputation and Prigozhin looks like a pussy too. What was the point  According to one version, it was an express teleportation of 25,000 bayonets with armored vehicles from the Southern Front along the four-lane M4 highway beyond Voronezh, and from there to Kharkov. But I think there should be versions and more interesting. Oh yes.. much more interesting versions. But no nee to bet. Putin pays Wagner so all back to normal. Except that Wagner will be going for the same again and again ... They seem also to be on their way to Moscow.
Moscow in 3 days?  There is some information stupid enough to be truth: Roads blocked by traffic to prevent it! Prigozhin been posting videos for years now with his whereabouts and somehow he is still alive.
 What the yippeeyahoo are those loonies doing there? Having a pick-nick out in the open or is the checked floor magnetic? If he misbehaves he will feel the wrath of the local babushkas, they will deal with him. The other day in the local mall i had the chance to be any place i wanted. That tank gonna get a parking ticket. Then again, maybe its all show arranged by them 2 to root out and get rid of
those that come out of hiding to support "coup"
Keep dreaming. This is about Wagner not getting funds and being required to be part of the army. It happened in the Roman Republic quite a few times. |

The bald rebel is claiming that he took Voronezh, and shot down a few helicopters and a transport plane. Russia air force apparently bombed the wagnerists on M4. I haven't had time to geolocate that shit on my own so I'm not gonna post the links but there is quite a lot of fortification going on around Moscow so shit's getting real. There are also reports of them moving to Krasnodar (opposite direction from Rostov than Moscow, towards Crimea).
They seem also to be on their way to Moscow. Putin has given an address to the nation and it could be that part of the military are quite ok with getting rid of the current government. I wonder if it could come the day that we see Putin in the Hague like Milosevic, awaiting the day to have a rope around the neck. Anyway, it seems that despite this little disputes between the local dictators, the war goes on. Prygo is not really into anything better than Putin on that regard -for now. |

there is no free lunch
Exactly put money and you gain money. Yes you can lose money too if you invest money but you can only become rich if you have the courage to take the risk. There is no gambling without the money. There are a thousands of games which you can play and have fun online and offline , but when it comes to gambling it is always that you risk some money in order to gain or lose your Investments. Gambling is for those big hearts who know that you have to risk the money in order to gain money and also in order to have fun. While some individuals may have the financial means and knowledge to take higher risks, it is generally not advisable for the average person to view gambling as a free meal. Basically gambling is every day life and it is not about money really, it is much more about daily decisions at work, home or in their business that are taken unVer uncertain conditions, thus being bets. |

In the context of gambling, while AI can calculate historical data and stories to make preditions, the outcome of ganes of chance is inherently uncertain. Even with advanced maths and machine learning techniques, there is always a degree of uncertainty and randomnes involved. So overall, AI can certainly improve the odds or help make decisions, but it cannot eliminate the risk altogether.

Professional Poker Player can actually make their living and make it quite well, but it is a full time job with no merging for mistakes. It is super-competitive and it is more difficult each day due to increased availability of computing power. But, yes some games do allow people to make their living of them, but it is not the typical player and the mentality is widely different.

There is no mystery behind it.
So, it's like an activity that even if you keep losing, you'll still play it. An activity or a video game that you'll keep coming back despite the disappointments and losses that you've incurred.
And the very reason is that you're simply enjoying, I don't know with the others but it's most likely that they want to recover their losses. Other than that, I can't think of any other reasons.
Many use gambling activities to pass the boredom. Others use it to occupy their mind so that they can forget the problems around them. Others use it for socializing, to meet new people and new friends while others think of it as another source of extra money, others simply wanted to test their luck. There are many reasons why peolple keep coming back to gambling places and online gambling platform. Any reason is valid for a gambler why they're doing it. And that's why for those questioning why people still gamble regardless of what they're seeing like being addicted to it and losing money, it's like any other things that we do. There's always a reason behind it. There is no mystery behind it.
So, it's like an activity that even if you keep losing, you'll still play it. An activity or a video game that you'll keep coming back to despite the disappointments and losses that you've incurred.

It varies from person to person how we perceive gambling because while some can not quite when they're going in particular dimension others have the control to always step back when the odds are not longer going in their favor and this is a principle everyone should adopt because gambling indeed has a force that can easily control the mind of the player. For example, to I made multiple games selections on Sport bet and all came through remaining only one game to be played I was offered a large cash out since I staked a high amount so I was caught in the web of the decision whether to quit the bet and walk away with my rewards or continue to the player, but I was brave enough to cash out and just getting to know that that the last match could have spoiled my tick. Yeah, it differs per person. And we all have those reasons to comeback or to stay as we're all grown up except those teens that are not at the right age and are already aware of this area of their life. I guess most people gamble to feel some short of special sensation of thrill while the game is on and similar sensation if they win. Other than that, gambling has been there for ever, so my question would be why would people stop gambling, since it is a millenary tradition, documented pretty much since the beginning of history and records of the humankind. |
