Given these kind of units are mass produced, I expect the margin your employer would earn on this $100 component to be much more related to the per-unit manufacturing cost than engineering costs. Formal verification of such a component can not be so costly that it can't be justified, once you spread such a cost over hundreds of thousands of units.
Imagine a body of scholars continuously producing wrong hypotheses. They test all of them. Your teacher correctly pointed that one in twenty will have a p-value > 0.05. But they write papers only off these! In such a scenario, 100% of the papers are wrong.
In other words, this 5% chance of a paper being bullshit is only a lower bound.
Game theory allows for derivation of optimal strategies, that is, strategies that maximize winnings. Depending on the game, GT yields little more than formalization of a game that can be beat using a "common sense approach", but sometimes counter-intuitive strategies are dominant, for example burning your ships.
The most intelligent person in the world would not stand a chance versus an experienced, serious chess aficionado. Being good at chess not only requires raw intelligence, but also strategic and tactical insights that just can't be developed on the fly no matter how intelligent you are, and especially not during a speed chess match.
Reminds me of the story of world-class poker player Tom Dwan (who has won millions at poker and is likely very intelligent) losing > $50k in misjudging his chances of beating chess International Master Greg Shahade, who was starting the game down a rook (an insurmountable difference when players have remotely similar skill).
Because many vaccines do not give you protection with 100% probability, but they make enough % of the population immune so that a virus is prevented from spreading. People who avoid taking vaccines are hurting everyone who's not immunized by the vaccine by providing more chances for a virus to spread. So not only you are hurting yourself, but also many others. Hence the state needs to control this particular flavor of idiocy as much as it needs to prevent drunk driving.
Actually, even if you can distinguish, is no way to prevent any host of the Internet from sending traffic to you. If you gather enough upstream bandwidth, you can clog any pipe you want. Some research works have proposed ways to amend this, for example this.
Usually when a company buys a start-up they make sure a non-compete clause is included in the terms of the acquisition to avoid this. The "make another DB" part, I mean.
Popular Youtube videos. Or dropbox -- their main costs are probably in bandwidth and storage, and they can push the (de)compression tasks to clients so it's free lunch.
I disagree. The practical utility is a function of the number of downloads you get per compression operation, the cost of CPU time, and the amount of money that can be saved in bandwidth reduction. I can see how this can be an improvement to serve static content. For example, assuming browsers incorporate the capability to decompress it, lowering the bandwidth of Youtube by ~3% is an achievement.
TFA does state at the bottom that "Rodrigo Rato of Bankia was listed fifth behind Pincus". He (arguably? allegedly?) did a few of the things you mention at Bankia, a large Spanish bank that got a massive bailout from the State for several billion EUR.
Fair enough. I still do think you were extremely unlucky. You hit a nerve because Catalans are getting tons of hate from Spaniards lately, since we are getting very serious about seceding from Spain. If anyone is curious, here's a couplevids explaining what's going on from the perspective of an American.
What you are describing here is an anecdote. This is not the norm in Catalonia by any means, as your post tries to convey. In fact, it is rather the opposite. Especially, when ~50% of Catalans' mother tongue is Spanish. Foreigners even complain that they find it hard to learn Catalan, because Catalans automatically switch to Spanish for them, assuming it will make communication easier. I really don't get the reason why you felt compelled to post this. Either you know you are lying (because you live here or have been here for long enough to know better) or you had unbelievably bad luck in your visit here (which I find, well, sort of unbelievable).
Please ellaborate. I can't understand why traveling instantly from place A to place B means you can deliver a message before it was been written. I can't quite follow the causality here.
Some time ago I used to listen to a news radio station to help me sleep. They repeat the what is essentially the same batch of news every 30 min. So, perhaps a couple times, I incorporated the news in my dreams, for example that I was watching the news on TV, or somebody was telling me about the news. I am unsure if next morning I would have been able to recall a piece of news introduced while I was asleep, though.
Well then let's create a doper's cup, and he is a legend there. Whether he was a great cyclist, if he was taking drugs, we can't tell, and that is the whole point.

Wrong, it is much, much worse than that.

If he is found innocent they can simply burn the hash.
Optionally.

How is that moderated funny?

Does this protection also apply to visiting foreigners, or are only Americans protected by this?

Simple: The Sims.
This would thwart any prosecution. "This is my lawyer, he charges 1 billion per hour".

And you can't get robbed or scammed when using cash.. right?
Except that you can trade these BTC back into "real money" at the same place you probably got them anyways

Now we only need to convince more females to study comp sci.

How are you not afraid of the side effects? You are selling your mental health for temporary brilliance. Does not sound like a good plan to me.
