to me? an infinite amount! So trying to measure it in dollar terms is already a pointless exercise.
If you want to see the hole in this argument, try looking at it from the other side- How can you arrive at the conclusion that a life is worth only $329M? Why so low? Why not a billion, or a trillion?
If you have to come up with an objective and dispassionate standard, then I doubt you'd find one where the number it generates is $329 million.

- knodi123 1y agoYou must not be a programmer, or you'd understand that NULL !== 0 ;-) But my overarching point is that $329,000,000 is an absurd and arbitrary number, so for my purposes, either value NULL or 0 would make my case.
