I suppose I misspoke, your mental model sounds accurate XD. I wish there were a mandated evidence double check sampling rate! The point I was making is that I suspect in most courtrooms the rate is effectively 0.

Larger scale smugglers/producers definitely do this, and yea, if you're a middle management drug dealer in one of those organizations, that's probably the play. But also they'll be getting spied on by federal/intern

> Were I the judge... Your mental model of a typical American judges values is, unfortunately, unrepresentative in the extreme.

I mean, both. But there are plenty of self proclaimed radicals in America who claim they'd be willing to die on the barricades, but a) there's no central set of barricades upon which to die, even in the global "centers"

I don't think most reasonable employers hold it against prospective employees if they have "bad" former employers. Obviously the exception being if they were employed in executive (and perhaps in some cases, managerial) capac

I still don't think that would have had the same downstream macroeconomic effects as, say, exploding mortgages for millions of working and middle class Americans. Nobody leasing their commercial properties to WeWork is one missed paych

I think they justified it by saying that they were aiming to be tech unicorn, not merely a real estate company; and it's par for the course for the board to pump and dump a tech unicorn once they realize the horn is about to fall off.

Interesting observation, but a) events of the last 10 years are documented at an exponentially higher rate and resolution than events of the 17th century, and b) this list has lots of events which hardly raise to the level of the large scal

I'm confused as to what Boeing is changing then - your description of 'dual-dual' systems sounds like what is happening with the master/slave failover system already in place. It sounds like what they're changing is

SE = structural engineering? That's cool, I'm glad your discipline is receiving some ethical training. I've never heard of any CS program including any sort of engineering or general ethics courses in their curricula.

Yea I understand that there's a technical definition that it falls short of, but again they're very explicitly noting that it falls short of that, so I don't see how it's being ambiguous or misleading. And I don't b

I think this is great; if I ever start a SaaS business I'll happily follow Sentry's example and use the BSL if I want to develop in the open. To the open source fundamentalists expressing disdain: why is the ability to commerciali

Is it morally fine in every case? Or just in cases where the project was initially open source? If the latter, why, and why should anyone try to maintain an open source business if that's the case? Anyway, "morals" aren'

by MFLoon 7y ago
I don't think it's weasel words. They're just acknowledging that the OSI doesn't recognize the BSL as an Open-Source license, but the source is still open in the literal sense. Not only that, but most of the things assoc

Just because people often report the experience of massive perspectival shifts after becoming a parent doesn't actually elevate their authority on the matter, or invalidate the opinions/beliefs of non-parents. That's just a s

Simulators can "break" in the sense that support simulating various failure modes, including presumably sensor malfunctions. It's very possible that they stumbled on the exact conditions that led to the real world crashes, wh

He hasn't really had reason to, none of his businesses thus far have involved media, telecom or social media. Not saying it's particularly likely that he would go against the grain, but its a bit unfair to say he hasn't when

I feel like my examples are just as convincing as the boat over boat: they're all theoretically unsound lines that no winning player would take unless they had x-ray vision, and if you claim you would x/f TPTK on the flop because

I actually think the "changing cards" situations were the stream employees seeing the action and finding it so implausible that he was playing a given hand that way, and inadvertently gaslighting everyone by overwriting the graphi

Yea that's fair. But the point is it's possible/normal for some amount of the player pool to put up those numbers over some time span, whereas 10x that is an outrageously far outlier. Who knows, some of the in-band high winne

Watch some more; here are some damning highlights: - Bluffs river with 9 high, gets check raised by 6 high, 3bet jams for barely a min raise, it gets through obviously - Check folds TPTK on the flop on a dry board when other player has a se

There are plenty of other pros who have played on Stones Live, who Postle has repeatedly gotten the better of. Even if the average hands are playing 2x or 4x above nominal stakes, that's still an outrageously high, many std-dev above e

True. It's certainly possible the industry will turn away from RFID because of this.

Oh they won't. This guy is never playing poker again in his life, except maybe in a jail cell. That's already guaranteed. Edit: Just pointing out the obvious that no self respecting (or just self protecting) poker player would wil

It's a necessary evil to make the game more marketable. Watching poker without knowing the hole cards is pretty damn dull. They used to use cameras but RFID is cheaper and lower friction for players. FWIW major tournaments and other ca

I doubt he has an accomplice. I think he's intimately familiar with the RFID system, including having had direct access to the actual one being used on Stones Live (per his connection to them that was observed on Linkedin), and enabled

For additional context, at most stakes being a 5-10bb/100 winner is considered being a very good player. The thin cluster of people winning around 100bb/100 are the actual top tier players representing the top ~1% of the player po
