the correct answer here is that they are all accountable. there is not some fixed quantity of blame to divvy up: each malfunctioning leg is responsible for the outcome.

right. view it instead as "we need to keep domestic corn production above a certain threshold." the result is that we have a lot of extra corn. now the question becomes: what do we do with this extra corn? we can either throw it away, or turn it into fuel.

it's not an efficient course if the target is fuel, but that's not the target. it is a decent use if we have lots of corn that nobody wants, which we do.

derivation of -x seems wrong. we can look at the execution trace on a stack machine, but it's actually not hard to see. starting from the last node before the output, we see that the tree has the form

    eml(z, eml(x, 1))
      = e^z - ln(eml(x, 1))
      = e^z - ln(e^x)
      = e^z - x
and the claim is that, after it's expanded, z will be such that this whole thing is equal to -x. but with some algebra, this is happening only if

    e^z = 0,
and there is no complex number z that satisfies this equation. indeed if we laboriously expand the given formula for z (the left branch of the tree), we see that it goes through ln(0), and compound expressions.

x^-1 has the same problem.

both formulae work ...sort of... if we allow ln(0) = Infinity and some other moxie, such as x / Infinity = 0 for all finite x.

do you hold Altman solely responsible for everything on earth?

is there anything Collier doesn't sneer at? her purpose seems to be discouraging free and creative thinking.

right, i love this plan, we are aligned politically. but until we make some change to the balance between renters and landlords, subsidizing demand is unlikely to help.

or just pay the landlords directly and cut out the middlemen!

i'm pretty much a pessimest [sic] when it comes to fighting smallpox. i think it just exploits one of the bugs in our genetic code that evolution didn't shake out.
