      Yeah his track record is not one you'd associate with development.

      He never gave poor Kwame Brown a chance. Jordan drafts him straight out of high school with the first pick in the draft.
      He turns out to be a very sensitive guy(only 18 after all). Jordan comes out of retirement to play alongside him, guide him as face of the franchise etc.
      Apparently he can't handle Brown's attitude and ends up crushing the guy completely, one of bigger draft busts.

      OJ Mayo(think he went 5th or so one year) challenged Jordan to a 1 on 1 at a Jordan camp when he was 17.
      Mayo was regarded as the top ranked HS player in the US at the time.
      Jordan was 43 or so, again completely destroyed him 1 on 1. Another guy who never lived up to his hype.

      Not sure I can wait till the weekend now.

            sadly quality isn't great for the new ones so maybe hold off until they air on netflix. There is a permanent watermark in the middle of the screen (PROPERTY OF ESPN FILMS), and a permanent clock up to hundredth of a second counting up, then another one flashes up at the bottom. was watching the third and gave up half way. checked the 4th and same issue.

            Personally, i'll wait for netflix

They don't have the ability to make decisions with perfect knowledge of whether it will turn out to be the best decision with hindsight.
              My whole point is that they suck at probabilistic thinking and dealing with uncertainty. It's not like we're looking back and saying with hindsight their decisions weren't optimal. People who deal with risk looked at the same situation and came to completely different conclusions. Taleb published a paper around the same time. The trading thread on 2p2 was forecasting a pandemic.

              Remember when we all laughed at that study published in the FT saying half the population in the UK could have COVID under their model. It didn't matter that they were experts in epidemiology from Oxford, anyone with half a rational brain could see that was silly.

              Anyone that understands risk and payoffs treated this completely differently to WHO. Every time they were making advice under uncertainty they got it wrong. Against restrictions, against mask, against domestic or international travel restrictions, against any health measures for travellers. Back when China was dealing with an outbreak, the WHO said there was no evidence of human transmission. When the risk of overreacting too early was low vs the risk of a global pandemic, they repeatedly went on the underreact side. They passed on buying cheap puts for the world.

              You're treating "the experts from the WHO said there's no evidence" as far more meaningful than it is. They're not talking about ebola, they're talking about a novel situation with unknown information. They get this wrong repeatedly. They've taken false data from China as face value. They're a weak international organisation that can't step on anyone's toes or independently verify data. So you're giving far too much weight to what that press release actually means.

                Retail investors sure hate money. I was telling people on boards not to invest in oil and there's still people doing it anyway.


                Robintrack keeps track of how many Robinhood users hold a particular stock over time. It generates charts showing the relationship between price and popularity, and compiles some lists using the data.


                Holding an oil ETF is really expensive. Unless Trump ignites a war with Iran, or blows up the SPR, there's basically no way for any of those buyers to make money.

                    That is one of the more glaring examples of a false equivalence I've read.

                    How can you think that the probabilistic approach taken by Taleb/2+2 posters can be remotely similar to that employed by WHO.

                    There is quite literally zero downside if Taleb is wrong but there are tangible impacts for WHO if they divert resources to a low probability event, no matter the "tail risk" of the event.

                    Diverting resources in order to purchase cheap puts likely leads to a loss of life.
                    When WHO gets it wrong, people die, when Taleb gets it wrong, he has new content for his next iteration of the same book.

                      Hello BBV, long time no see.

                      I've started recording a few podcast interviews, the latest is with Jesse May which may be of some interest to people here. Some good poker stories from Vegas, Foxwoods and Atlantic City in the 80s/90s and plenty of talk about gambling culture. We also talk about the early TV poker days (Late Night Poker, Poker Million), working in an Israeli kibbutz and the current betting markets for US politics.
                      I assume mods are okay with me posting link (apologies if not, and feel free to remove). Happy to hear any feedback.

                      Legendary poker commentator Jesse May talks all things poker and gambling. We discuss Jesse's start in gambling, his early trips to Las Vegas in the 1980s, b...

                                  It's millions v trillions.

                                  The costs were, advising travel restrictions, advising people to wear masks, health checks on travellers. The pay off was preventing an international pandemic, saving trillions of dollars and millions of lives effected.

                                  It's not false equivalence. It's literally the same principal. Asymmetrical pay off. WHO looked at the info and said we're not sure, so advised against any action. Wehn the cost of action was small, and the payoffs gigantic.

                                  If anything traders have more skin in the game, WHO is focused on reputation, traders lose money.


                                  Let me first discount Taleb as someone who has no skin in the game
                                  He still trades himself. And Nassim Taleb-Advised Universa Tail Fund Returned 3,600% in March

                                  described in your Fox News link. Yet you've reposted it again here that they advised against masks.
                                  That's how it was described in all the media outlets. BBC, Guadian etc. That link was just one I happened to grab when I googled it.

                                  You also talk a bit about WHO saying there is no evidence on something, as if you don't understand that at one point in time there can be no evidence of something and then later there might be evidence of something. Saying there is no evidence of something is the right thing to say in the former situation when there is ... no evidence of something.
                                  Have you forgotten what sparked this off? I said you shouldn't be getting excited "because the experts at the WHO said there's no evidence". Seems like you're agreeing now.

                                            The problem in your millions versus trillions argument is that based on the probability of the event, if similar logic was applied to every event of a similar probability, the summed cost may have exceeded that which has occurred now.

                                            You have equated Taleb & 2+2 traders predictions as evidence that the event was predictable for WHO and their inability to predict & subsequently act was a simple failure on their part.

                                            Even if WHO & Taleb reached the same conclusion, their choices are still vastly different. WHO may well have predicted the probability of this event the way in which Taleb did.

                                            However WHO cannot respond in the manner Taleb has done, there are far more variables at play. By presenting Taleb/2+2 traders as examples of the event's capacity to be predicted you're setting up a simplistic comparison which does not add weight to your argument.

                                            It's an oversimplification and in turn leads to a false equivalence.

                                              One was a judgement on a moving event (transmission), so 'no evidence' is clearly a point-in-time statement. The other was a statement about a specific historical event that has finished, so is intended as a static statement of fact.


                                              Unless you are actually looking to make a point, this should be fairly obvious!
                                              Are you tolling now?
                                              Finished? The haven't even had a proper investigation? China blocked access for weeks. Even if it did originate in a lab, how likely do you think it is that the WHO would find the hard evidence? ANd how hard do you think they're working on it when they've restricted access and don't want to cause tension with China?

                                              I remember the UN initially saying that there was no evidence of Russian involvement in the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crash. That was a specific historical event.


                                              Anyway I think we've both spent enough time on this.

                                                      Now that you mention it, it is a perfect size

                                                      But Apple are equally as guilty of supersizing with their high end phones, it’s out of control now

It's not that Taleb did something specific for this particular outbreak - that was just an event that occurred that triggered the ongoing position to payoff, like insurance. Which makes sense as his whole point is about the unexpected nature of these events.

It can mean anything from "there is good evidence but not conclusive" to "this is total nonsense" and anything in between. They manipulate this vagueness depending on the goal of the messaging.

                                                                              Rang them and once I pointed out the change of airport I got cash back no problem .

                                                                              Looks like the process to get cash back off Ryanair involves more than €500 of time, stress and hassle. We'll see nothing he's ever done has hurt him before but thie way they have engineered this seems like a case of 'Too clever is dumb'.

I've missed the GAA more but that's cos I go to all the Kerry games and still play (albeit at low Junior level). I miss the training more than playing games tbh.
