I have never liked music. Why do people like it?

Quirrel might think that Harry used the killing curse.

Silly me! I had the array exactly right but the result was wrong. I used the second box to find the value that I eventually added the value of box 4 to and got 7.

There are already quantum computers. Just really small quantum computers.

The bad news is that I have already seen this video. The good news is that I did this exercise for it the first time I saw it. My reasoning was something like. Well the situation is similar to the video on what happens to tears when someone cries in space to get similar results. It would just look like jelly attached to the towel. What I didn't expect was for the water to aggregate towards the hands.

"I highly recommend typing 'AI DESTROYED' in the console then the new line character key of your choice."

Something like this needs to exist. I'm posting here to keep tabs in case it becomes something I can contribute to and/or use.

We've lost, by my count, 1,394,100,000 jobs in the US in the last two hundred years. You may notice that is a larger number of jobs than people actually exist; this is because, if all those jobs actually existed, we'd still be farmers. (Value calculated by dividing current median income in the US by an estimation of sustenance income necessary to a lifestyle appropriate to, say, the 1700's. Not terribly accurate, as it doesn't account for the increased value of leisure time, or the automation of non-economic tasks; the actual figure in these terms may be as much as 30x rather than 9x the labor force. Additionally, I didn't include the massive reduction in work hours over the past two hundred years, which could as much as double that figure again)

The challenge isn't to figure out how many jobs automation will eliminate; it's already eliminated nine times more jobs than there are people doing jobs in this country. That's what permits our high standards of living; each person is enjoying the fruits of the labor of at least eight additional counterfactual people whose jobs are being performed by automation.

The challenge is to figure out to what extent this trend can continue; there's obvious room for improvement in that most of the world still has substantial improvements to be made to its standard of living. The challenge is to figure out whether or not the most fundamental tenet of economics - that demand is unlimited - holds true.

If flipping the switch before 12:00 pm has no effect on the amount of money one acquires why would one pay anything to do it? why not just flip the switch only once after 12:00 pm and before 12:05PM?
