Is it? I know some cultures have a traditional lunar calendar, but I didn't know there were many that didn't also use the Gregorian calendar for business.
Which cultures have the seven day week without the solar year?
Not quite the same, since in my scenario the player loses everything after a loss while in the St. Petersburg Paradox it seems they keep their winnings. But it does seem relevant in explaining that expected value isn't everything.
But the odds of the player managing to do so are proportionate. In theory, if 8 players each decide to go for three rounds, one of them will win, but the losings from the other 7 will pay for that player's winnings.
You're right that the house is performing a Martingale strategy. That's a good insight. That may actually be the source of the house advantage. The scenario is ideal for a Martingale strategy to work.
Well, they have to start over with a $1 bet.
I've seen other comics where Everett rejected the concept. One was when he told a woman he believed in it (in the sense of wanting it to happen) and threatened to kill children, and another when he told a man who brought it up that he was introducing him to race homicide. (I guess the term "genocide" hadn't entered the vocabulary.)
What I usually love about musicals is the variety of songs and subject matters, and with the exception of the Klingon song, the songs all felt the same.
Well, there's not much they can do with the QR code. You can deactivate it as soon as you've made contact and established proof of identity with the recipient.
But, if it was really important, there are cryptographic key-exchange protocols you can do even over an insecure connection. The Diffie-Hellman key exchange is one of them. Using something like that, you can derive a shared secret key even if someone's listening.
But personally, I would just break it into two parts, and send one by email and one with pastebin's "burn-after-read" option.
What about DS9's In The Pale Moonlight or It's Only a Paper Moon?
Thanks for asking. :) Have a good one.
Because it's polycentric. Each instance is a center. When an instance goes down, it takes all its users and data with it.
I know people around here aren't fond of cryptocurrency, but bitcoin is what I'd consider a truly decentralized system. Nothing is lost to the network when a bitcoin node goes down. As long as you have your private key, you can spend from any node, and you don't even need a node to receive.
I believe it's helpful to distinguish between the two types of systems.
I just said that lemmy is not a decentralized network...
Well, I only know how it tends to work in China, where the traditional calendar is used for cultural events such as festivals, while the Gregorian calendar is used for just about everything else, including domestic business. I assumed it's the same in most modern cultures with a different traditional calendar, but maybe I'm wrong.
