umutgultepe··on Show HN: pure client-side Connect Four AI with Web Workers, AngularJS, Firebase
The AI is impressive, but it mostly fails when you just go for a horizontal four at the lowest row. I won 4 out of 3 games like that.

UI is good, gets the job done.

umutgultepe··on CNN Turk is no longer independent, should no longer be called CNN
I am talking about the modern Turkey founded in 1923, not the Ottoman empire.

The main factor which distinguishes this event from every other internal conflict is the fact that groups with very different views aligned together. These include Kurds and TUrkish nationalists. Socces hooligans who would look for rival team fans to fight were shoulder to shoulder shouting. Even a significant amount of islamists were protesting along with seculars.

We experienced military coup in both 1960 and 1980, there were no protests this size though. There were more causalties, but this one has just started last week and it spread into more than 40 cities, with no central leadership.

It can be debated which one is greater, however everybody I talked to say they saw nothing like this, including 70 year olds who saw both the coups.

umutgultepe··on CNN Turk is no longer independent, should no longer be called CNN
CNN on the right is the international one, yet it is focused on Turkey, doing live broadcast. The one on the left is regional, in Turkey. It is showing a penguin documentary while Turkey faces the biggest riots and unrest since its foundation.
