Welcome to the online poker world ~4 years ago. The only difference (and the question is, 'will this be enough to keep it alive?') is that DFS has the backing of sports leagues (MLB, NFL) that have big lobby groups who can "i

When the SOPA/PIPA protests happened in 2012, I was really surprised to learn that students were upset since all they used as a resource was Wikipedia. I mean for the most part I agree with the quoted articles in that Wikipedia is hard

Wonder if there's a dataset for this. Maybe run a simple n-gram over the interviews and see if certain phrases show up more often for truth tellers vs liars. If you're in the poker world, you know that physical tells _are_ a thing
