AWS enterprise customers get case managers as points of escalation and this is a generally accepted strategy for almost everyone in enterprise to the extent that I believe customers would be very concerned if this type of customer outreach

Perhaps the idea is related to Riemann sums being an approximation of areas under curves where the curve is supposed to represent reality? Either that or that the Riemann hypothesis is an important problem that lots of people have tried to

I think you're arguing that the financial instrument itself can't be $0 and because of that there's no way for valuation of an entire company to be less than $0. I never argued anything that means that the financial instrumen

The 2x factor reason is pretty intuitive if you understand that video compression is still fundamentally representing superpositioned signals from 2D Fourier Analysis and that multiplying by 2x the number of pixels in each direction is no d
