"The science that studies how a society uses their limited resources to meet its needs."
Which sounds a lot like the main problem of any healthcare system.
It works well enough that we occasionally used it for short chat conversations inside the document we were working on.
It's easy to get used to the former, much harder for the latter.
I don't know why, because they all look fine to me...

500 shares of company A is worth 100% of the market cap of company A.
500 shares of company B is also worth 100% of the market cap of company B.
So if you have 5 shares of each, you'll have 1% of the market cap of each, even if one of those companies finds the cure for cancer or turns out to be a money furnace.
Only if you count the hours worked for the local lord and forget about all other mandatory work like:
- growing your own food
- cooking/prepping said food (44 hours per week)
- maintenance
- spinning, weaving and sewing clothes

"The Phillips Machine is an analogue computer which uses fluidic logic to model the workings of an economy."
Func<..> is lambda that can only be invoked.
Expression<Func..>> is an AST of a lambda that can be transformed by your code/library.
> Pretty close to 1 account per day
No, this means there is a 98% chance you get _at least_ 1 account.
`1-1/1,000,000` is the probability you fail 1 attempt. That probability to the 4millionth is the probability you fail 4 million times in a row. 1 minus _that_ probability is that the probability that you _don't_ fail 4 million times in a row, aka that you succeed at least once.
The expected number of accounts is still number of attempts times the probability of success for 1 try, or: 4 accounts.
But seriously, no US state is as poor as Italy, in GDP per capita terms (Mississippi 50K vs Italy 40K).
Currently about a third of the energy consumption of a data center spent on cooling (heat dissipation)? And that's with the use of a huge heat sink, the earth.

For any useful job you can think of, ask yourself: What's stopping the unemployed from doing that job right now? They could already be making decent money driving or caring, so why aren't they?
If you replace "wheel" with "jerrycan", then that's exactly what happened.
Quoting from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerrycan :
> Such was the appreciation of the cans in the war effort that President Franklin Roosevelt noted, "Without these cans it would have been impossible for our armies to cut their way across France at a lightning pace which exceeded the German Blitzkrieg of 1940."
When you cut through someones skin, you bypass one of the major first lines of defense. Therefor surgeons reduce the risks, for a similar reason why clean their tools before use.
> implying a cost of $377,000 per job saved
The second doesn't follow from the first at all?
The fact that employment increased doesn't tell you anything about how many jobs were not lost, right?
Except that they will probably won't know the answer immediately an need more time than that: https://twitter.com/DanielleVEsq/status/1472105731474137094
There's also capital gains tax or even wealth tax. Especially the last one will target the wealthy.
The difference, as @sbelskie already mentioned, is that Where has an optimization for List, while First only uses the naive enumerator.
I still remember the compliments one of my jackets got me 1, 4 and 6 years ago. That probably helped making it my favorite jacket, especially since those are the only non-family compliments I got in the past 10 years.
When you like something about someone, please make their year and compliment them on it.
Start reading from "There's a lot of confusion around the difference between amphetamine and methamphetamine."
Most relevant quote: "Moreover, there are no known neurobiological differences in action between METH and AMPH that would account for the [supposedly] greater addictive, rewarding, or psychomotor properties of METH."
