What are you suggesting? That one should read the documentation? And have a level of understanding why things are the way they are? Blasphemy! Zero ignorant screeds would be written! Productivity would increase 10 fold!

In sports positive EV can happen a lot based on real world circumstances. Hot streaks are real, injuries and line ups change before and even during games, players get arrested, etc. Often times opening lines move drastically because the boo

Hmm this made me chuckle, is that not equivalent to a test for randomness, which is very very hard indeed?

Some of those small towns in Kansas will give you a house if you agree to live there for a few years. Homesteading is still a thing in that small way at least.

Apparently you don’t either. In the US at will employment doesn’t mean you can’t have another job. There may be a clause in an employment agreement that says you agree to not work for any other company, but I’ve only seen this clause once i
