You're assuming that we know that the length of vector (a, -b) is a²+b². We don't know that. We start by assuming that the position vector (a, -b) has length c. This implies that we can rotate that vector until it becomes the posi

Not wearing out increases the time frame across which you can amortise the costs. If option A costs $100,000/unit and needs to be replaced every 10 years, while option B costs $300,000/unit but lasts 50 years before replacement, o

The problem with the "adjust for inflation" methodology, is that inflation is not equal for all components of the basket. The CPI measures the average inflation of the basket, but if some components have grown significantly differ

He isn't arguing that they do that, he's saying that if we accept that that remains a reasonable methodology to extrapolate the data, then we can use that methodology to get an updated estimate. He gets his estimate a couple of di

No, I don't think they are. If you are facing a wall-plate with two power sockets on it side by side and you are telling someone to plug something in, which one would be "the right socket", and which would be "the left s

There's a difference in quality needed for bad things vs good. If I'm trying to oppress a minority group, I don't really care about false positives or false negatives. If it's mostly harming the people I want to harm, it
