>>Overlap in multiple dimensions is simply the AND of overlap in each dimension. Presumably just for boxes aligned with the axes (or some other condition?)? EG two lines can have x’s in common and y’s but not overlap if they are slop

I had thought bookies set the odds so that half of incoming bets were on either side. They don’t care which outcome occurs and just take their cut either way. I guess at low volume it’s hard to find that optimal spot and this is what resu

Don’t have a ref but heard that it’s been safe for quite a while but they keep the pilots around due to consumer fear rather than actual improved performance. Curious if anyone can confirm.

I have had similar issues. It has helped to remember to do things I know help me feel better: reading novels, going on walks etc. even though I know these help I can fall out the habit easily. Another is to try to load balance my producti
