So QM is probably a poor model for explaining human indecisiveness and irrationality. Much better is that it is simply the thing that evolution has come up with that can a) fit in our brains and b) yields proper results.

A real coin toss is, say, at least 25% probability for heads and at least 25% probability for tails. Therefore you can multiply the winnings by 4 and not by 2, which will give you a divergent series even with a real, "unfair" coin.

But this does not mean that patient's consent is required for a valid diagnosis of a mental disorder. Denial is a serious problem and somehow an internal part of certain diseases such as mania, or, as you mentioned, early stage addictions.

We allow patients to follow a slightly different path than the rest of the society till full recovery in the case of disorders such as cancer or depression, which can take years. Addiction should be treated the same way.

I doubt it. You don't think you are the only person manipulating such a CEO, do you?

I continue to believe, however, that Dehnadi had uncovered the first evidence of an important phenomenon in programming learners. Later research seems to confirm that belief.

But yes, in general the rand-modulo pair is an anti-pattern.

This happens not (only) because it is safer to keep piles of German bonds than piles of EUR, but because of the unorthodox ECB monetary policy. We certainly live in some very interesting times.

The responsible guy will probably avoid jail, but will surely be convicted.

Creativity is an anthropomorphic, abstract concept, a way of describing human ways to find solutions. What really matters is the proofs.

Edit: these were not just regular cross currency swaps

> But in the Greek case the US bankers devised a special kind of swap with fictional exchange rates. That enabled Greece to receive a far higher sum than the actual euro market value of 10 billion dollars or yen. In that way Goldman Sachs secretly arranged additional credit of up to $1 billion for the Greeks.

Also, withdrawal is not the major problem when combating addiction.

I don't see why tracing collectors need GIL in particular to stop all threads, i.e. why should only one thread be running at a time.

1) The "first bus collects delay" theory is responsible for a part of the difference between the data and the model, after all there is some.

2) There is another mechanism at action that statistically reverses the effect of the "first bus collects delay" theory, not necessarily in the same bus runs.

Number 1) is coherent with Occam's razor.
