A ponzi schema is taking the money from new entrants to pay out the old timers.

Poker is taking the money from losers and giving it to the winners.

And in a ponzi schema the old timers are the only ones who make money. So they are the winners, ergo the new entrants are the losers

Therefore poker is a ponzi scheme,

Horrible looking, but amazingly not an explosion.

Thanks bro. Sweet site. Made geeks a powerful force, which is awesome.

Here is the saying that has stuck in my head:

If you're not liberal when you're young you don't have a heart,
If you're not conservative when you're old you don't have a brain.

I think that pretty much sums up your point

To the OP, yeah you should be smart about your career -- but then again who has ever done that and enjoyed their life? You can't put a price on happiness and satisfaction. Unless you're a sell out. Selling out is a viable option, who would manage engineers if no one sold out? Of course I'm single and have zero responsibilities so if you have kids and stuff don't listen to me.

That's OK your honor, most of the geniuses I work with don't understand it either.

You spend all this time writing this creative software (malware)...

Try fracking finding someone who can proofread your english; it's abysmal and frankly embarrassing. I realize it is not your native language but this lack of attention to detail is exactly the reason you find yourself writing malware in the first place ... oh and why the only people you manage to trick into this are on the bottom side of the intelligence bell curve.

Here is a good link describing how antisense works:

Antisense Drug Discovery Platform

I remember this "antisense" stuff from probably 15 years ago. It was the hot pharma back then and there were probably 5-10 companies that went public over the hype of this new drug "technology".

I was actually a little shocked that someone had got it to work. From what I recall it is a targeted drug based on DNA of the target. It sounded very promising, but for some reason it never actually worked all that well. I think it was because you had to shove so much of the drug in that the side effects were pretty bad.

is the fact that these guys might have actually thought they could predict Soccer games.

They can very easily "predict" market moves in very short time frames -- they have access to real time data as well as prices/sizes of tickets that are lying outside current bid/ask range.

Frankly anyone here could write a program to predict that a stock and, by doing this for multiple stocks, an index using this information to calculate momentum. Place a bet with enough money and you only need a small change so you can make your bet after the move has already begun.

These aren't really "predictions" but rather having enough information to make a bet with significantly less risk ... if there are a bunch of buyers and few sellers below you then you are protected on the downside and if there are bunch of buyers and few sellers above you then the stock is going to go up -- you just have to give it a little nudge.
