What's the definition of basic algebra that makes that fact obvious? I took 3 semesters of algebra in college (Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra I and II), and don't see anything obvious about it. But then, neither does Terry Tao:

Centiptero sounds better. Ptero as in pterodactylus. (Yes, it's mixed Latin-Greek, but so are metadata , hypervisor and hexadecimal .)

That doesn't surprise me at all. You've cherry-picked someone who's far richer (in absolute terms) than the average person within those 2 billion. You're probably talking about an American (or a Brit or a French person?

The term "disruptive innovation" was coined by Christensen in his book "The Innovator's Dilemma". Then it was shortened to "disruption" and its meaning was quickly diluted by indiscriminate usage by the pr

I'm in Japan, not NZ, but the system here is similar to what grandparent described. In over 10 years here I have never needed to do anything more than to sign a couple of forms provided (and pre-filled-in) by my employer, once a year.

Try "What is Mathematics?" by Courant et al. However, you might be mistaken about language and problem solving being independent.

Wait, what? Cato Institute is libertarian not conservative; they're generally pro-immigration, pro-civil rights, etc. While I haven't been following them recently I'd be very much surprised if they ever supported Trump.

Ah, got it. If you're a student you can apply for a permit that allows you to work part-time. But I don't know if a part-timer would count as an employee of the new company.

I get your point but I think a clarification is useful here: the risk for gp was not "options might get underwater" but rather "stock is too illiquid". Options are underwater if the strike price is less than the current

You're going off a tangent here. There's nothing in my argument that relies on having an optimal opponent only; forget about the "assuming the opponent also plays perfectly" part for a moment, the key part is getting th

There isn't a single "correct" behaviour here. The only thing that can be said to be correct/incorrect is the answer to the question: "was your control actually affecting the outcome?".

The problem is that that comparison is misleading: while a Seattle 1BDR is 61% more expensive than a Tokyo one, it's also much bigger. Note that the Buy comparison is by square meter, which is much more reasonable. Price per Square M
