ambition makes him look pretty ugly

Hey, no need to be sarcastic! /s

By which author? I can’t find the book

I would go even further and say that we should have it until we can be sure it will respect others’ rights. All kind of rights, not only Copyright. Unlike Bing at the beginning, with all it’s bullying and menaces, or Chatgpt regurgitating private information gathered from God knows where.

The problem with waiting is the arms race with other governments. I feel it’s similar to fossil fuels, but all governments need to take the risk of being disadvantaged. Damned prisoner’s dilemma.

Thank you vm for the explanation, I was under the wrong idea that “mathematician” meant someone that knows mathematics, and just as being a hacker or an erudite, it couldn’t be lost. Btw, I am a Financial Math PhD candidate, you saved me from potentially awkward conversations.

Ah, got it. Thank you for the clarification!

How can you be an ex-mathematician? Maybe is a language barrier (English is not my main language), but I thought that was a designation based on your knowledge.

If we only consider the monetary value, both “briefs” have the same value. Otherwise if we incorporate utility theory with a concave bounded utility curve over the monetary value and factor in other terms such as ease of payments, or weight (of the drawn money) then the “worth” of the 100 dollar bills brief could be greater for some people. For me, the 1 dollar bills brief has more value since I’m considering a potential tax evasion prosecution. It would be very suspicious if I go around paying everything with 100 dollar bills, whereas there’s a limit on my daily spending with the other brief (how many dollars I can count out of the brief and then handle to the other person).

Isn’t that exactly what roofuskit said? Sorry to ask but, where’s the lie?

and that’s why it should be illegal, the big “buy” button ahould have higher precedence over any “renting” claims in the ToS and any attempt of misrepresentation should be fined.

Ah, ok, then I hope an admin can solve your problem.

It’s not a good idea to put your mail out in the wild, you can be victim of loads of spam.

stack overflow has a lot of R knowledge, in questions already asked and in an active community. Try looking if your question has been asked there before, and if not, ask it. Many beginner questions are not about a particular language but about logic and math, maybe you can give a look at math.stackexchange also. For more simple questions, language models are very good (Chatgpt/bing, Bard)

upvoted, but, wouldn’t it be really cold days? as in, contrary to the trend of warming.

private keys fit in a floppy disk, and their use range includes ransomware decryption and identity verification. In Mr. Robot, all 9-M could’ve been undone with a floppy.

Not all interested buyers are in the ad business, and governments can make payments in a way that is difficult to audit from a third party perspective, definitely not in any currency or a change in the balance sheet. I wish things where different but seems to me that paying won’t protect me from them harvesting every bit they can.

Indeed very interesting. It is a fundamental principle of finance: Investors seek to maximize utility, but this is under the axiom of complete rationality. And even if that condition is met (which I doubt), the utility function of money is not concave at all levels, for example leftmost of the graph, before the price of food. I think that after some point, utility becomes flat and Musk is way beyond that point. Additionally he seems to be a risk loving investor, not a risk averse.
