    Since most poker tables have automated shuffling and the dealer just distributes the cards, then this difference will eventually fade.

    Shallow thinking.

    The dealer still cuts the deck in those places. Ask yourself why it was so easy for you to to be so astonishingly wrong.

    When you hit a losing streak on a machine, this machine might be rigged.

    When you hit a losing streak with a dealer, this dealer is unlucky for you.

    THAT is why Casinos, in spite of trying to change it for decades, still employ dealers.

    None of it matters.

    You will always be able to trade a day of your labor for a day of someone elses.

    The liberals dont get that because they dont believe in the free part of a free market. They will introduce a red herring such as "but the rich..." .. as if the rich has anything to do with me trading my labor for my neighbors. The only time the rich has anything to do with it is when the liberals legislate away my freedom to do so.

    However it takes a LONG time to perform all the necessary studies and clinical trials and critically ill patients die while they wait.

    Before the thalidomide incident, the FDA only required safety testing, and thus Americans were protected from thalidomide.

    Meanwhile in Europe their regulations only required efficacy testing, and thus Europeans were hammered hard by thalidomide.

    After the thalidomide incident, the FDA demanded adding efficacy testing, and thus Americans have since seen longer delays and more expensive drugs hurting every American.

    Solution: We dont need or want the federal government demanding efficacy. Thats for your fucking doctor to decide, not some professional bureaucrat asshole living in one of the richest cities in the world (the majority of the top 10 surround Washington D.C) delaying progress for more of that sweet sweet lobbyist (blood) money.

    Apple still cant afford to buy Intel, but that wont be a problem soon. I've been saying that Intel is in very serious trouble since their first round of layoffs and their new "cloud focus" marking. That hasnt changed.

    These bugs are bad for Intel, but their real problem is much much deeper. They've lost their process edge and are now falling behind. They wasted several years trying to get 10nm 3D tri-gates working because 14nm 3D tri-gates was what gave them their huge lead. Dont know how much money they directly burned chasing their dead end design, but the real cost is the time. They were over a generation ahead. Now they are a walking into being a generation behind and no indication that they figured out 10nm yet.
