No, it's because there are a bunch of Chinese nationalists working in tech.

Your comment reminds me of critiques of Russophobia. Turns out in hindsight Russophobia was completely warranted.

Everyone that is trying to justify this by whataboutism, you are defending a regime that is know for going into foreign countries to kidnap and arrest individuals extrajudicially. The people that will suffer are Chinese citizens trying to escape the grip of authoritarianism.

The term for people that defend authoritarians this way is "useful idiot".

They used to call people that pointed these things out racist.

This will be a disaster for city tax revenues.

Question for you all, let's say you have an under-performer in a startup. At what point do you say it's fine to fire them without them vesting anything? 6 months?

I wonder how complex the design can be, could it work with a 2 story multi room home?

> China can't lose all business relationship with America

And America can't afford to lose business with China. So China will make the calculation that it can get away with an invasion of Taiwan.

How could anyone say this seriously after recent events?

It means that Apple's care of user data is surface level. Google is under much more scrutiny than Apple and thus takes better care of your data.

Finding evidence is very difficult. A year or two ago there was an infamous case with a man named Mike Postle. There was 0 hard evidence of him cheating but his decision making was so statistically improbable that the entire poker community is certain that he cheated.

These players, especially in poker absolutely need to be paranoid or they will be robbed.

At a certain point we are going to need to subject suspicious players to cavity searches.

Let me give you all a quick crash course in poker exploitation. Exploitation is taking advantage of inaccuracies in the other player's strategy to maximize the amount of money you win.

When you bet or raise in poker you need to do this action with some combinations of hands that are good (we refer to these as value hands) and some combinations of hands that are bad (we refer to these as bluffs).

If you ever have too many value hands the opponent can exploit your strategy by folding all hands that are worse than your value hands. If you ever have too many bluffs the opponent can exploit your strategy by calling with all hands that beat your bluffs.

The problem with this J hi call is that it does not beat the majority of Garrett's bluffs. In this situation Garrett has at most 2 combinations of hands that are worse than J hi, those hands also have 50% chance of winning due to half the deck improving them on the river vs J hi. In this situation Garrett could have three of a kind, a single pair, a full house, or maybe just Ace hi (which beats J hi).

So this call is terrible, even if "you have a read".

So the only explanation is that she's extremely stupid or cheating. Both explain the shifting story for why she called because nobody wants to admit they are dumb and they definitely don't want to admit to cheating.

edit: She could also just have poor emotional regulation under pressure which compelled her to call despite knowing it's bad.

I didn't remember the exact pot size. I thought she raised 12k into 40k then got raised all in

> Only people who know very little about poker would claim that

At least half of the best professionals in the world believe she cheated.

This is why poker is a great game. People like you that presume to understand poker very well and are so confident in what they believe. Please keep playing.

And btw, I'm 50/50 on her cheating or not. It would be extremely simple to cheat in this environment.

It's extremely +ev to call. If she folds she loses close to 35 thousand dollars of ev

edit: closer to 20k, i didn't remember the exact pot size

Is playwright that much better?

> in software, I would rather tear it down and find out what it was there for.

if you don't have regression testing there's a chance you don't find out until something disastrous happens

> yet prices keep going up

Prices have plateau'd or gone down

My comment is saying rents are cheaper not mortgages.

As someone that has been exploring real estate for the first time, after speaking with some people it seems that mortgages have generally been less expensive than rent? Good luck finding something like that with today's prices and interest rates.

A better article would have been "Poker is just Chess now". With the advent of poker solvers, poker can hardly be considered a game of luck and a lot of the preparation done for poker is eerily similar to the preparation done for chess (memorizing of opening range vs memorizing of opening lines, studying of early, mid and late game strategy vs studying of flop, turn and river strategy etc).

If you do this, you get pigeon holed into this kind of work.

Of course it's a group. As seen recently by the alzheimer's research debacle it's a group that is subject to intense social pressure.

> That’s the problem. You are unwilling to discuss the wages. This predatory capture also existed to ensure a decent wage.

So a few got a highly inflated "decent" wage and the people that desperately needed this work are just out of luck because they can't afford a medallion?

You must love going to the DMV

The first edition of this book has given me such a leg up in my computer science education and software engineering career.

The former will just blackmail you.

Profitable is not enough. This is an extremely competitive business space. Employees joined these companies and were granted equity at multi billion dollar valuations and investors invested in these companies at multi billion dollar valuations. What is the addressable market here? What do margins look like? I would be surprised if the companies that win this market are going to be worth more than $2 billion dollars.

Anyone know if I can get monkeypox from going to the gym?

I wonder where the misinformation that potatoes were unhealthy / fattening came from? Was it from french fries and fried starches?

I disagree. Even Lyft has noticeably worse service than Uber. Compare the prices and time it takes to get a ride on both platforms. They are not comparable.
