To expand on that, the way economics was defined to me in school can be roughly translated as:

"The science that studies how a society uses their limited resources to meet its needs."

Which sounds a lot like the main problem of any healthcare system.

As someone from a country where neither happens, I don't think this distinction matters a lot.

Similarly with Overleaf (an online Latex editor), where I've done group projects with up to 4 people simultaneously.

It works well enough that we occasionally used it for short chat conversations inside the document we were working on.

There's a slight difference between a bog standard daily standup with mildly interested colleagues and a career defining examination where multiple experts will dissect every word you say.

It's easy to get used to the former, much harder for the latter.

I don't know why, because they all look fine to me...

They do have identical value.

500 shares of company A is worth 100% of the market cap of company A.

500 shares of company B is also worth 100% of the market cap of company B.

So if you have 5 shares of each, you'll have 1% of the market cap of each, even if one of those companies finds the cure for cancer or turns out to be a money furnace.

That reminds me of the "Strangler Fig" pattern where you replace a service by first sending the requests to both the old and new implementation so you can compare their outputs. Then only when you're confident the new service functions as expected do you actually retire the old service.

How many of those languages can take an expression instead of a lambda?

Func<..> is lambda that can only be invoked.

Expression<Func..>> is an AST of a lambda that can be transformed by your code/library.

> 1-(1-1/1,000,000)^(4×1,000,000) ≈ 98%

> Pretty close to 1 account per day

No, this means there is a 98% chance you get _at least_ 1 account.

`1-1/1,000,000` is the probability you fail 1 attempt. That probability to the 4millionth is the probability you fail 4 million times in a row. 1 minus _that_ probability is that the probability that you _don't_ fail 4 million times in a row, aka that you succeed at least once.

The expected number of accounts is still number of attempts times the probability of success for 1 try, or: 4 accounts.

Yeah @rlupi, America is far too poor to afford basic living conditions. /s

But seriously, no US state is as poor as Italy, in GDP per capita terms (Mississippi 50K vs Italy 40K).

Heat dissipation becomes a _huge_ problem when you deploy a data center inside a perfect insulator, the vacuum of space.

Currently about a third of the energy consumption of a data center spent on cooling (heat dissipation)? And that's with the use of a huge heat sink, the earth.
