If insurance was just about pooling risk, an insurer that had perfect information about the future would pool everyone into a one-man pool and charge everyone the price of their damage for the year +1 cent for itself. But that's not wh

Do we agree that showing a 14 year old a picture of a man's gaping asshole is bad? If this image had "nearly a hundred thousand viewings" and 17% of MySpace's user base in 2009 was under 18[0], what's the math on th

What I'm asking about is how much energy and time (computation) by a human brain it takes to emit or ingest each program because a human working 40 hour weeks from 18-65 will have 100,000 hours of working time, which at a typing speed
