IMO this is akin to how scientists developed thermodynamics to comprehend steam engines. Except now, AI could be on the forefront of forming conjectures and explanatory theories!

Those RPN programmable calculators are incredible. You can use them to solve all sorts of interesting and complicated calculations.
Do you refer to SARS-CoV-2 as the Chinese virus?

The actual name for the variant in question is 501.V2.

Hilarious that they still label it as a country variant, as if the variant carries a genetic “country” code that determines the origin. Plain stupidity.

[Edit] To elaborate since there is so much negativity to my original comment. There is no absolute proof that the variant originated in South Africa, so calling it by a country’s name is an insult to human intelligence. We refer to the virus as the Coronavirus and not the Chinese virus. Why should the variant be any different? (This variant being actually called 501.V2)

A 20x jump on the monthly charge, especially in lower margin business, will hurt whichever way you look at it, IMHO.

In our own experience, we pleaded the fact that those dollar figures are just beyond workable if you consider the fact that we come from a developing country and we're faced with ~20x jump. I.e. it heavily messes with the unit economics. The Google representative actually laughed in our face (via Hangout).

Good question. From a game theoretic perspective, agents (players) are assumed to be self-interested in a non-cooperative setting if I recall. Maybe someone can comment on this a bit further.

We've got so many beta requests, we can't process them fast enough. So, just refer as many people as you can, and we'll bump you up somewhere in the "waiting list". Ingenious. ;-)

I heard that this game also comes with a free oneway ticket to Australia.
