The problem is specifically with unregulated sites that don't verify the identities of players. The bots aren't so much the problem as the fact that they can collude and share hole cards. But fyi, bots aren't actually good at

What I meant by "poker isn't solved the same way chess is" is that if you take a solver and follow all the actions it tells you are "best" you will not make the most money. It isn't like stockfish where by usin

I'm beating online poker. The difficulty of beating online poker is very much dependent on the site and the rake.

Online poker is very much beatable. Poker isn't solved in the same way chess is. It also depends on the site and the rake. Some unregulated sites don't do KYC so collusion is possible.

It's accurate? So all the current billionaires are descendants of other billionaires?

Well, I suggest you go into politics and do something about it rather than be pointlessly smug on the internet. If you're actually interested, the reason it's important to build out the grid even more instead of "subsidizing&

How does planetscale for postgres scale? I understand that it's multi node postgres with automatic failover but I think it only really scales for reads and not writes? So is the only way to scale writes horizontally to shard?

If you were honest in your critique the people you should be criticizing are the "think of the children" types, many of which also use hackernews (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45026886 ). There is immen

And they are charging per vcpu like every other company. You have control over the autoscaling parameters. Usage based pricing typically implies paying per number of requests.

Neon doesnt have usage based pricing it has autoscaling, there is a difference.
