@Xaphriel @KMSzpara @UncannyMagazine It's such an excellent story! I'd say it haunts me but that would make it sound like it's a bad thing. Which it is not.
@EmmaKennedy It happened to me: one month you go on a spending splurge etc, next month you're much better, don't go out / order takeaway dinners as much, and before you realise it you've saved 27m by pay day. Nothing unusual about that, he's probably been thrifty for a month or two.
@SouadH9 There are procedures that let you find how to define the "optimal" combined quantities, under some assumptions, that will best give you a picture of a given population using only a few representative characteristics.
@SouadH9 ... description, that will be almost as good as telling people apart. For example, tall people usually weigh more than short people, so these two quantities share some information between them. And the %body fat will help you tell apart a tall skinny person and a tiny chubby one.
@gro_tsen We're heading right towards another absurd theorem like "the following are equivalent: 1- the second largest gap between eigenvalues is ≥ loglogloglogloglog(n)/logloglogloglog(n)*√π/k where k is the Euler-someone-someoneelse constant and 2- GRH holds"
Here's the first installment of my case against landing human beings on Mars. You may think you disagree, but I'm going to talk you around. https://t.co/YSAl5mHGR5
