Is this number even known? How would all private revenues be calculated?

You might be misunderstanding (or I am). My reading of the situation currently is that the “real” breaches were due to actual production credentials leaking which were used to actually access production. Then some customers were not using

Fun fact, this converges quickly to 1-1/e ~ 0.632. If you had a 1 in a million chance of winning something and you tried a million times, the chance of winning once is about 63.2%, not much different from when n=100.

That is impressive! It does look like a textbook question so I wouldn’t be surprised if a formulation almost identical to this is in the training data. But the ability to parse the “mathiness” is still impressive. Higher level math becomes

This thread is going to be similar to threads discussing a paper that points out something negative about alcohol consumption. It’s easy to get defensive (sometimes irrationally so) about our drug habits which may have negative long-term ef

It would help if you defined “chronic consumer” in this context, because consuming multiple cups of coffee a day certainly sounds chronic to me.

I think people who are looking for an alternative are not looking for piracy as an answer (many are aware that this is an option). Bandcamp is/was great because you could support the artist directly, with the site taking a modest cut,

I don't know much Rust, but wouldn't the analogy to (*T, error) be Result<Option<T>, E>, which has 3 states? Or is that not a common construct? Because *T could be nil or non-nil, it seems like the analogy would be a n

That's fair - but that is assuming indefinite long-term deflation. What about intermittent modest deflation as a tool to bring prices down? It seems that just the idea of deflation is immediately rejected in any conversation about mone

It's good to keep the facts straight here, which is what you're doing. But it should be noted as well that the broader point being made has not been addressed. Even according to these adjusted figures, the ability to buy Big Macs
