I encountered this problem recently on a smaller scale. I disable iMessage for various reasons, but recently had to factory reset my iPhone, which led to iMessage being enabled. I completely forgot about it and after I remembered to disable

To be fair, Ivey is supposedly a total degen outside of Poker, plays craps, makes prop bets, bets on sports etc. There's stories floating around the web of him betting on coin tosses, for example. It wouldn't surprise me if he was

Ivey does indeed have a reputation for being superstitious. Worth noting the stakes for some of these games were in the $50,000 - $100,000 range, per hand. It's pretty hard to say no to a seemingly harmless request when the stakes are

Ivey has a reputation for being superstitious, and plays incredibly high stakes, usually at private tables. Generally Casino's will comply with strange requests like this from people like him, assuming it is just a weird superstition&#

I imagine it's a case of the casino's just assuming the card manufacturer is up to spec, and having no, or limited in house quality check on the cards. I imagine most people who handle the cards would look for markings made by pla

Around the same time the casino say this happened, Crockfords Casino in London were withholding winnings from Ivey, claiming he used the same method, edge sorting, to win around $10M playing a variant of Baccarat. Last year, he admitted to

Is that the last date? There's a mention of pre-2013 on the page? Edit: Just noticed inglor say it was a caching issue and the page was updated today.

To be fair to the headline, that line is a direct quote from the article. It also seems to be the section most relevant to HN. I feel like a post that only contained the text under the 'Failure' subheading, with a little intro wou

Is this a big problem for someone in your situation? Can you not rely on childprocess (or selenium webdriver) to handle their own dependancies appropriately?

I've just realised something, although I love Alfred and bought a licence and cant work without it, I neglect almost all of its features. My main use for Alfred? App switching. I find it faster and more reliable that cmd+tab.

I'm not even sure this is a case of him saying it to look tough/feared or something like that. From what I understand, someone left a comment calling him 'crazy' for a tactic he used in a recent game, and he responded wi

This is likely why it's not been noticed before, I'd imagine the practical consequences of this are sort of moot: If the X Server is untrustworthy, you've likely got bigger problems. I'll admit, my first thought was X11 Forwarding, as I und

No repo's because it's not released yet, it's a kickstarter. re: tiny github image link, the video does specifically mention it's a project targeted at users, not developers, so I guess having things like that as a footnote make sense. Can'

Because someone submitted it and people upvoted it? Getting enough upvotes to stick on the front page for a bit is a good yardstick for relevance, I think. (Not the one who downmodded you, just piping in)

Similarly, in Australia, I've only seen it once, and it was on a (from what I was told) special edition F-150 won in a contest in the US, that was converted to right hand drive. Seems to be a security vulnerability all by itself, to me. I'm

That's sort of unfair, I think. Off the top of my head, there was the new Counter Strike late last year, Portal 2 the year before, plus the level editor/sharing update last year, DOTA2 in beta at the moment, constant updates to TF2, recent

Since we're recommending things, spacechem is on that list and well worth a purchase. It does a good job of pulling out that feeling when you hack together a clever solution to something.

$3.49 for Bastion is borderline criminal! If anyone is on the fence, pick it up, that is a great deal.

Totally anecdotally, as cliche as it sounds I feel like what my parents (and other people who don't care about games) mistakingly call video games is a good indication of the current market. When I was a kid, every video game was "Nintendo"

I remember seeing this years ago, off tumblr, but for some reason didn't associate it with Derek Yu until now. Embarrassingly, the original that I would have seen back then (cached[1]) was not only plastered with his name, but lived at dere
