Also, interesting comment I found on HackerNews (HN):

This post was definitely demoted by HN. It stayed in the first position for less than 5 minutes and, as it quickly gathered upvotes, it jumped straight into 24th and quickly fell off the first page as it got 200 or so more points in less than an hour.

I’m 80% confident HN tried to hide this link. It’s the fastest downhill I’ve noticed on here, and I’ve been lurking and commenting for longer than 10 years.

    Doesn’t gambling for a living by definition mean you have to play with stakes that matter?

    Honestly if people could only gamble with their own money, I might feel different about it.

      They matter in so far as it feels bad to lose. But they shouldn’t matter to your family’s finances
