Kwicherbitchin Dep’t
I don’t know why everyone’s so exercised about Google’s targeted Web ads.
Seems to me the system has excellent taste. Three times in the last two days it’s offered me When Brute Force Fails: How to Have Less Crime and Less Punishment, one of the best books ever written about crime, the product of an author whose billiance is surpassed only by his wit and whose wit is matched only by his modesty.
What’s not to like?
Author: Mark Kleiman
Professor of Public Policy at the NYU Marron Institute for Urban Management and editor of the Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. Teaches about the methods of policy analysis about drug abuse control and crime control policy, working out the implications of two principles: that swift and certain sanctions don't have to be severe to be effective, and that well-designed threats usually don't have to be carried out.
Books:
Drugs and Drug Policy: What Everyone Needs to Know (with Jonathan Caulkins and Angela Hawken)
When Brute Force Fails: How to Have Less Crime and Less Punishment (Princeton, 2009; named one of the "books of the year" by The EconomistAgainst Excess: Drug Policy for Results (Basic, 1993)
Marijuana: Costs of Abuse, Costs of Control (Greenwood, 1989)

And with their new ‘privacy’ policy, they’ll be able to figure out that ‘web client = author of book’ and avoid wasting your publisher’s limited marketing budget on page-impressions from the author.
Mark: “What’s not to like?”
You’ve already read it, I’ll bet.
*cough* adblock
Ah, someone who takes great pride in their humility.
What’s not to like?
His billiance, apparently.
The fuss about Google is about a bit more than the Web ads we had already.
Of course, I yield to nobody in my unstinting admiration etc. etc.
I heart Google.
Having said that, I can’t wait for someone else to figure all this out and explain it to me.
“…the product of an author whose billiance is surpassed only by his wit and whose wit is matched only by his modesty.” – Yes, that’s right. You’re about as witty as you are modest (NOT AT ALL) – you are however, inadvertently hilarious at times and that’s why I keep reading this blog.
BTW, your book is highly argumentative and obviously, editing repetitive content is not your strong suit. I had an easier time reading Moby Dick and the Scarlet Letter, but those books are less opinionated
I’m guessing Prof. Kleiman didn’t give you the grade you deserved?
BTW, Anonymous, your blog posts are highly argumentative and obviously, editing repetitive content is not your strong suit. I have an easier time reading Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok, but their posts are less opinionated.
Anonymous has perceived that Kleiman’s declarations of modesty are not to be taken seriously. One day Anonymous might hope to perceive that they were not intended to be taken seriously; Anonymous might even detect indications of an intent towards humor. Given that Anonymous apparently believes that any humor is inadvertant, I wouldn’t hold out too much hope.
Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.
And with their new ‘privacy’ policy, they’ll be able to figure out that ‘web client = author of book’ and avoid wasting your publisher’s limited marketing budget on page-impressions from the author.
