No that's not what the graph shows at all. It's just his win rate in terms of how many big blinds he's won per 100 hands played, against the percentage of hands he's choosing to play.

Sure, each individual instance of suspicious behavior is circumstantial evidence by the formal legal standard. But this isn't a court of law, and as a fellow poker player, I want to know about this asap and not wait until it's bee

Thankfully I'm not out here buying businesses of any kind. And knowing what a thing is and knowing how to spell it correctly are two different things.

I lost it at "What the fuck is HIPPA". Who the fuck buys a healthcare company and doesn't know what the fuck HIPPA is? Great read.

I genuinely feel bad for your children. You see yourself as somehow metaphysically enlightened and beyond reproach by non-parents, just by virtue of having them - I can't imagine how tyrannical you are in your relationship with them.

Ironically, this sort of outrageously absolutist assertion sounds like exactly the kind of thing a parent would say to their child to quash a debate about their decision making.

I shudder at the thought of my chronically late friends having kids and exacerbating their already borderline intolerable chronic lateness.

I think they mean specifically if the bartender asks you to open your tab before taking your order and/or pouring your drink. For what it's worth I don't think I've ever experienced this, but I could see it being somew

The line you're quoting literally notes that this all happened before Trumps rise, and is logically prior to it. It claims they were "intertwined", which is implying the relation you're asserting (Trump capitalizing on t

This article about legal professionals pushing back against a new and subversive legal doctrine gratified my intellectual curiosity immensely. Also it's written in the least inflammatory manner I could imagine an article on the subject

I don't think they're claiming to actually anonymize them. Seems like it's just a stylistic choice to not affirmatively identify them.

I think there is actually a quite simple, coherent framework for such a thing: probability theory. You could say highly improbable is a more scientific synonym for miraculous . I don't think the problem is that people are unaware pe

I don't even think the motivation is primarily about maintaining military support - it's already a given. Even if the US political regime swung far to the left, there's simply no chance they aren't going to bat for Israe

There's not actually any risk, as plainly evidenced by the fact that the State Department has never even given a light wrist slap for any of the dozens of incidents mentioned in the top comment, under Bush, Obama or Trump. There's

No, it's just that not mentioning it is has a cool factor of 0, neither cool nor uncool, and mentioning it has a cool factor of around negative infinity.

Just the existence of any kind of active, noisy global mailing lists seems like an indicator of organizational immaturity, let alone ones catering to political discussion.

I think you're confused. It's definitely not illegal in any state to have informal political discussions with coworkers. Maybe what you're referring to is that it's illegal for employers to tell employees to vote a certa

I think you can accept or be neutral on the assertion that "the personal is political", without it entailing that you actually live in a state of political engagement. After all, the professional ought not be personal.

The confusing part to me was the language that he "surrendered the shares" as payment for the loan, which implies to me he gave it back at the same price, rather than selling it at a profit. But as a sib pointed out there was a fu

This is awesome, I've wanted a similar tool before. Is this open source or are you planning to commercialize? One bit of UX feedback - the modal with the commentary text is a bit low on the screen (at least on chrome on a 15 inch retin

I mean, they should not just lie down, but I think the more lawful and orderly approach would be to appeal to a higher tier of authority that's supposed to be available within the legal system. Of course, easier said than done, but sti

I don't think this is a realistic depiction of the threat model of people who would hack commercial jets. Sure, state sponsored APTs probably could access it if they wanted, but none of them are in the business of crashing passenger pl
