I don't think the issue is that 'good' dictators are so rare (one in a million), but that they are rare enough that two back to back is extremely rare and three back to back is beyond hope, even if each dictator tries their b

Does the developer not work on any systems unless they feel it is theirs, or is it a particular system that causes this phenomena? If it is the latter case, then the dev's reasoning is really a symptom of a deeper problem.

If I have to work 8 hours a day to make 6 hours of income because of tax, then 25% of the risk of me being killed in a day is because of the tax. Probably more, because the extra 2 hours of work will be while I'm more tired and will l

I have both of your experiences (with different games). I played many NES/SNES games a child, and experienced much awe and wonder, felt extreme freedom in what I could do, and was just sucked into the worlds crafted as a child. But d

What's like to happen? Given how low the probability of such an event is to happen by chance, if the algorithm is traced back to you then the court will find you guilty of creating the algorithm specifically to produce the image. In
