One myriad
Matt’s post below is RBC post #10,000.
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.

Congratulations! Am not sure how many I have read – but always make sure to visit samefacts regularly for insightful discussions.
This is one I’ve held on to as gold…
And reread every so often…
Lots of good stuff in there:
It also has a few predictions (I agree with the first and am contrary on the second):
Naturally – this is Kleiman speaking not, not Schelling – when the “small government†loons get out of global-warming-denialist mode, they will naturally strongly prefer the SRM option to any sort of carbon controls: regulations, taxes, or cap-and-trade. This will be especially true of the propeller-head techno-optimists who think that every problem has an engineering solution. But I predict that they mostly won’t get their way. When one side of a debate denies the existence of a problem, it has (deserves) a hard time getting its preferred solutions to the purported non-problem taken seriously. That was the fate of much liberal thinking about crime control; once you’ve announced that “crime†is a made-up problem and that crime control is just a cover for racism, why should anyone pay attention to you when you announce that you know how to control it?
I predict those that vociferously deny global warming will not be held accountable for being wrong. All will be forgotten in the very next sound byte. In fact, I think they’ll actually continue to dominate the debate. Conservative reality is wonderfully malleable. Sean Hannity will become an instant expert on cooling the planet down the minute he stops scolding everyone about it heating up. It is all very much like the zombie argument that tax cuts for the rich will cause all boats to rise.
All boats will rise of course, but not because of Trickle Down.
Which I guess is proof of that old saying: Even a blind zombie will find some carrion now and then…
Congratulations to Mark, who toiled in solitude at this site for years and has written I suspect more RBC posts than the rest of us put together.
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.
