It's always a bit cringe worthy when a person talks about how smart he is. But that doesn't make it wrong. You seem to have read it as some kind of bragging, but I see no reason to interpret it that way.

I don't see the logic there, but in case it adds to the conversation, I will say that I think that it is fairly clear that extremism is not inherently a bad thing, unless it is defined as such (rather than literally) - in which case I

Also, there's more and more old music. Although it gets complicated because it's getting easier and easier to make music.

I can point you toward endless debate by the leaders in my field about topics that are really important in my field, but my field is not itself very important. Someone else will have to point you to the debate on really important topics.

I think the point he was making is that change in supply doesn't necessarily lead to a change in price. I don't know if that's what they teach in basic economic s, but it's certainly true.

You would need skill, luck, and a strong work ethic. How would I go about it personally? I'd play poker online.

I doubt he sees it as the best use of his time to build a new social media website up from scratch - I'd be pretty unconfident in such a project's likelihood to see great success, anyway.

Is that the cycle? I've been using Twitter for 10+ years and I doubt I'll stop anytime soon. Heck, I still use Reddit daily despite it having been in steady decline for many years now. Personally, I suppose that the internet has b

The USA are the good guys so I'm happy they have their defensive nukes all around the world. Also, the one time when they used their nukes offensively that was actually to save lives.

You think heads-up NLHE found its peak popularity after Black Friday? As for why it's obscure - that's a separate point. Heads-up poker, as a format, was obscure at its peak as it was when Doug Polk was at his, and as it is now. P

The things I said are true of the poker player Doug Polk. Doug Polk was one of the best 2-player Texas Hold'em poker players on the internet for a couple of years, but only at a point in time where the format was pretty dead. I know ve

My understanding is that in the USA there are a lot of cases where gambling online is legal, but where it is illegal for banks to process transactions relating to those services. In such cases cryptocurrency is helpful, even though the wage
