I think you mean something that maximizes the bottom x percentile (either by making the negative smaller or the positive bigger). It's not going to be an easy solution, because for a sufficiently small x , the optimal strategy for a

In practice, utility theory works well. Poker players adopt a utility function similar to u(x)=x and apply some very basic risk management heuristics (bankroll management) on top in order to handle ergodicity. Their whole thought process

Nonsense. Apu is on the whole a very positive stereotype - a successful and responsible small business owner who's respected by his and contributes to his community. Compare him to someone like Cletus who is a negative stereotype of wh

I'm aware of that, but shouldn't we expect something either on par with that or something that goes even further than that when it comes to China?

It's not my intention to make this political, but it's odd to me that the current administration sanctioned the Saudis over the murder of a journalist, but has little more than stern words towards China over the Uyghur situation a

Humans might try, but the same study says they're not good at it with only 55 percent accuracy.
