I've hit a ceiling where I don't have anyone who can beat me often enough to push me to get better. I use https://www.sparkchess.com/ , not bad, there aren't a ton of players but there's at least someone on to play with most of the time. | ||

I use http://en.lichess.org/ You have a good variety of players levels, and you can analyse your games using the online bot (though that far from perfect, it can give clues). | ||

Mega Thread', that would have news and discussion about science and technology from various viewpoints. Hopefully we'd get discussion from a technical perspective, as well as from the intersection of technology and culture, economics, the law, politics, ethics, etc. Currently, there's not entirely a suitable place for news and discussion of this type. The 'Big Programming Thread' is more geared towards Q&A and some discussion of software development and programming, and isn't really the place for most news. Sometimes, there's some discussion in the 'US Politics Mega Thread', when there's news that is related to American politics or law, a recent example being Apple vs. FBI. Otherwise, most discussion mostly resides in multiple one-off threads that might see activity for a few days before dying off. Consider the recent example of AlphaGo which had a short-lived moderately technical discussion. In this case, I think it might make sense to consolidate things into a mega thread. Personally, the idea for a tech mega thread was prompted when I saw the news about Google moving to sell Boston Dynamics: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-03-17/google-is-said-to-put-boston-dynamics-robotics-unit-up-for-sale This came after the recent showcase of the Atlas robot: + Show Spoiler + I thought the news was interesting, but it really isn't worthy of its own thread, and there's not really a suitable thread to post it in. However, it would fit in nicely if there was a generally technology related news and discussion thread. That's basically my spiel in favour of a tech thread. I wasn't really sure who to talk to about it, so I figured I could PM a mod first to get an ok, instead of making noise here, haha. | ||
