"exponentially increasing share of control"? "Exponential" has a meaning and the situation you're describing isn't consistent with it. If there's an exponential at work here, it has a vanishingly small ex

Oh goody. Another group with an equation that they confuse with a complete picture of reality. (When you point out that reality comes up with different answers, they try to change or camouflage reality.) Note that Georgists don't tel

The secretary problem (max odds of best) isn't the only problem in that space. It's often good to go for a "within 10% of best" solution.

Why will this have more impact than CalTrain? Before you say "fewer stops" (or its equivalent), remember that if you don't stop someplace, someone who wants to get to/from that place has to find an alternative, and that

I avoid debuggers because if I can't debug something without them, said something is too complicated for me to understand now, let alone in the future. Moreover, if said something is that complicated, it is almost certainly wrong in s

Are you going to cap the amount that flippers can lose as well? Why not? And, why should their profit be uniform? (Some flippers are better than others.) Flipping as a service requires waiting by buyers and/or sellers which costs th
