Eric Drake Poker
Drake and Lil Wayne are going on a rapping-spree over Jay-Z’s Ignorant Shit, which is produced by Just Blaze.This is one of Drake’s “Straight-Bars-No Hook” tracks, like 9am in Dallas, 5AM. As the ‘All-American face of poker’, Lindgren was one of the most successful poker players of the noughties boom – a total of $10million+ in the bank from tournaments alone, including his 2004 $1million scoop at the PartyPoker Cruise. The future looked sweet indeed for the young poker sensation. Eric: Yeah, it's thirty minutes from my house. I play there frequently so I have plenty of experience playing live poker. I've done well in the tournaments up there. Pauly: What's your biggest finish prior to wining your WSOP main event seat? Eric: I took 4th place in one of the Sunday Guaranteed tournaments on PokerStars. Day 3 of the 2011 World Series of Poker saw Sean Drake win the first bracelet of the Series. The $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo reached the money and the $25,000 Heads-Up Championship reached the final four.
Abstract: The Fermi paradox is the conflict between an expectation of a high {em exante} probability of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe and theapparently lifeless universe we in fact observe. The expectation that theuniverse should be teeming with intelligent life is linked to models like theDrake equation, which suggest that even if the probability of intelligent lifedeveloping at a given site is small, the sheer multitude of possible sitesshould nonetheless yield a large number of potentially observablecivilizations. We show that this conflict arises from the use of Drake-likeequations, which implicitly assume certainty regarding highly uncertainparameters. We examine these parameters, incorporating models of chemical andgenetic transitions on paths to the origin of life, and show that extantscientific knowledge corresponds to uncertainties that span multiple orders ofmagnitude. This makes a stark difference. When the model is recast to representrealistic distributions of uncertainty, we find a substantial {em ex ante}probability of there being no other intelligent life in our observableuniverse, and thus that there should be little surprise when we fail to detectany signs of it. This result dissolves the Fermi paradox, and in doing soremoves any need to invoke speculative mechanisms by which civilizations wouldinevitably fail to have observable effects upon the universe.
