🎲 Как армия покерных ботов BF Corp захватила онлайн-столы?

Онлайн-покер уже не игра людей.

Студенты превратили его в бизнес, создав бот-империю BF Corp: сотни аккаунтов, прокси, GTO-алгоритмы и даже «кадровиков» для фиктивных игроков.

Боты играют без эмоций, идеально по теории игр — и вытесняют живых соперников.

Румы же часто закрывают глаза: боты тоже платят rake.

It is not so simple. The demand for food crops and grazing fields leads to an incentive to de-forest.

Good soil does not grow on trees. It takes a long time to create good soil, but society is flushing it down the river drains. No latrines these days.

You literally eat dirt to survive. Or, you can eat shit and die.

Land Management takes planning. If it is not profitable, it will be ignored.

Sometimes quick #money can be tempting, even if there is potential consequences.

People go to jail all the time, and do some drastic things trying to make a quick buck. However sometimes it's entirely legal, but a bad idea if you ever try to get into an industry that looks people up thoroughly.

#onlyfans and similar have become oversaturated, and now people have been denied employment from adult content that they posted online.

Once it's online, it's there forever.

Как шоколад из Дубая стал вирусным хитом?

Шоколад из Дубая ворвался в США как сенсация: упаковка под «золотой слиток», вирусные видео в TikTok и дефицит на полках Trader Joe’s и Costco.

Вкусы — от маршмеллоу до халвы — сделали его культовым. Gold Bar показал: сегодня шоколад покупают глазами не меньше, чем вкусом.

Билл Хван начинал как «тигр» Уолл-стрит, но после инсайдерского скандала создал Archegos — семейный офис, работавший с рисками на уровне хедж-фонда.

Через свопы он контролировал миллиарды, пока падение ViacomCBS не вызвало лавину маржин-коллов.

Банки потеряли $20 млрд, а Хван оказался в суде.

The era of subscriptions for everything?

Music subscription (Apple, Spotify etc). Subscription to social networks (Meta, X). Subscription to Messenger (Telegram Premium, Viber Plus etc). Sneaker subscription (On.com). Subscription for car seat heaters. What's next?

I found it hard to accept that the whole world was immersed in a subscription form of payment. You cannot own anything anymore; once your bank card runs out of money, you are cut off from the whole world.

You are immersed in a plethora of advertising. You can no longer use your programs; you are cut off from everything.

When did we take the wrong turn? When did a smartphone wallpaper app decide to become “big business” and just demand $10 a week? Why has this become the norm? 🥲

Checked my finances, was reassured. The dole figure they've finally established for me is going to keep me afloat. I have affordable habits. And it's a major point of pride for me not to burden my wife. I learn easily and could have trained to do something way more lucrative than archaeology. Not going to make her pay for my self-imposed scholar's lifestyle.
