No, being greedy is why America still has slavery, technically. As a whole they could get a ton more profit and save on costs if the system cared to develop prisoners, reduce prison populations and make them more productive members of society.

Individual and short-term profits are gained through this exploitation. The fix isn’t to eliminate profit “waste money” then everybody loses. The solution is to address the externality in the market, thereby making it so that everyone can profit.

I don’t get why people rush to the next replica platform that will go down the exact same path of overstimulating you / mentally harming you.

Just delete Instagram.

Don’t replace it.

I don’t even think it’s that we’re optimizing for the wrong value. Optimizing for maximum profit is probably fine – everyone gets the best utility possible. The problem is in the algorithm being a greedy approach where every individual personally chooses the best option for themselves. Greedy algorithm settles on a local maximum but drastically overshoots the global maximum.

There are well-designed urinals now that don’t splash back. Add to that, If there’s a divider, then the urinal is convenient, quicker and imo cleaner because you don’t have to touch the stall door or lock to close it and you’re not pissing on the seat or sitting down. It’s literally no-contact

Hmm, ok. Let me retry.

The digits of pi are not proven to be uniform or randomly distributed according to any pattern.

Pi could have a point where it stops having 9’s at all.

If that’s the case, it would not contain all sequences that contain the digit 9, and could not contain all sequences.

While we can’t look at all the digits of Pi, we could consider that the uniform behavior of the digits in pi ends at some point, and wherever there would usually be a 9, the digit is instead a 1. This new number candidate for pi is infinite, doesn’t repeat and contains all the known properties of pi.

Therefore, it is possible that not any finite sequence of non-repeating numbers would appear somewhere in Pi.

Prove that said number isn’t pi.

It kind of does come across as pedantic – the real question is just that “Does pi contain all sequences”

But because of the way that it is phrased, in mathematics you do a lot of problems/phrasing proofs where you would be expected to follow along exactly in this pedantic manner

OK, fine. Imagine that in pi after the quadrillionth digit, all 1s are replaced with 9. It still holds

The question is

Since pi is infinite and non-repeating, would it mean…

Then the answer is mathematically, no. If X is infinite and non-repeating it doesn’t.

If a number is normal, infinite, and non-repeating, then yes.

To answer the real question “Does any finite sequence of non-repeating numbers appear somewhere in Pi?”

The answer depends on if Pi is normal or not, but not necessarily
