@usanewshq It's not moving relative to the car, it's moving 50mph relative to the outside, it's moving 29.8km/s orbital speed (around the sun).

It's moving faster than the speed of light relative to objects flung the other way at the birth of the universe.

@rossium The probability is 100% as there is no time limit.

@TheJeffBoski Not a single correct response in thread, which is:

Calculate equity then apply Kelly.

There's probably like 20 combos with 16-20% equity you might be up against and 1 combo of 76dd you're flipping against.

Kelly would advice 60% of bankroll on an 80% fav at even money.

@BasedGains @RyanSAdams The game theory is not clear. Locking up capital to assist with this task is only productive if a number of requirements are met, e.g. risk of hostile centralization exceeding a threshold. You're better off freeloading until you're not and then you might as well fork.

@Bonecondor If you're standing on the left I reserve the right to push you down the escalator

@SaraSmartist @WSox2022 @ALLinAK @MaxEffort313 You're wrong. People use poker as a way to gamble and convince themselves they're better than they are. Its a recreational and social activity that is often more affordable than travel, boat ownership or pokemon card collection. Let people escape reality in peace.

@SaraSmartist @TheShayneM @GodMode248 Recs don't want to know their own results, much less have their performance on public display.

I dealt with the sharkscope uproar & subsequent limitations as part of pokerstars operations (and several similar issues), and am certain player sentiment on this issue is opt-in only.

@tjbey2000 @VanjaPoker You dont understand them then, nor the fact that your VIPs are completely clueless about BP strategy and incapable of counting cards and calculating equity.

@Pokerbots1 @ToddWitteles @DanMoranPoker @padspoker evil tongues would say it's a symptom of narcissism

@stuffbypaolo @kaiba_1991 @aerockrose Yea. Do the math, decide it's (slightly) -EV, decline the game.

@junglemandan Wealth is never created in a vacuum. It relies on societal infrastructure (education, health care, social mobility, roads, energy, etc).

Govt being mismanaged is a separate topic.

@Yuchenj_UW Designing great products follow certain formulas. These are replicable.

@hthieblot The man can make gold, you say?

Did he appear in Forbes 30 under 30?

@fitcoiner @ryancohen @CNBC Maybe not go on live tv after consuming enough edibles to daze an elephant

@forexflowlive @darioperkins It would've been easier if the president didn't take every opportunity to sabotage the economy

@wassielawyer Hollywood is a powerful drug

@jdcmedlock I could write essays, but you need to make huge sweeping for-good changes then limit the executive, reform SCOTUS, reform congress, then gain mandate to reform the republic itself.

[Lars Lien @larslien]

@jdcmedlock Looking in from a European perspective, the fraud is institutionalized to such a degree it has to be rooted out at the core. Full reform of everything, starting with universal health care and a *complete* overhaul of criminal justice (at all levels).

@wassielawyer @adamscochran i am so confused

[Lars Lien @larslien]

@DougPolkVids why do you use incomprehensible units
