Id be shocked if the freemium privacy policy & obligations for, say, Gmail is the same as the corporate privacy policy under GSuite/Workspace... With the latter, there's a direct contractual relationship since you're payi

Most primality tests aren't 100% accurate either (eg Miller Rabin), they just are "reasonably accurate" while being very fast to compute. You can use them in conjunction to improve your confidence in the result.

This is classic Buffett year, being fearful when others are greedy & building a massive war chest for when a correction inevitably occurs. When it comes to Buffett (and Berkshire), it's really only reasonable to look at 5-year retu

Just curious: If non-neurodivergent children are given the same accomodations (which are?) do they significantly outperform their peers too? For example: it's well known that 1-on-1 instruction time correlates to better academic outco

This entire argument relies on new EV prices declining like other technologies, but this doesn't seem to be the case. E.g. the Nissan Leaf is ~$30,000 and has been for almost a decade. (Guess you could make a case with inflation... b

I disagree with your disagreement. The legal profession is not "working until now" unless you're quite wealthy and can afford good representation. AI legal assistants will be incredibly valuable for a large swath of the pop

Forced liquidity and the tax implications can absolutely be bad for investors. If my option is a 5% dividend or a 5% share buy-back, the net-of-taxes benefit of the 5% dividend is 15%-20% less due to capital gains taxes than the share buy-b

I assume you mean "fare" evasion -- like riding a train or bus? Yes, it fits. There are a finite number of seats on the train, and your gratis use of a seat (ostensibly) denies another paying customer. Even if there's exces
