Isn't this a question of hubris? The title claims that "Rational People Do Worse", but wouldn't a rational person surmise that there is some information/mechanism they don't have access to that the computer does in order to achieve the success rate claimed? In that case the rational choice would be to claim the single box.

The other factor not addressed is the $1k vs $1m. The calculus changes a lot based on these amounts. If it was 10 bucks vs the chance to win millions? that's the lottery. if it were $10k it be a lot harder to walk away from that.

As a thought experiment, its a lot easier to say what you think the answer should be, actually making that choice when there is real money is psychologically different.

I'm spoiled here in CA, we got some really legit spots. Did the birra craze hit the east coast too?

if you look to Chipotle for this "burrito culture" you talk of you are already lost.

the whole idea of a coffee 'break' was created to pump stimulants into workers to improve productivity.

Milk based plastic was one of the first man made plastics produced back in 1890. Not 1980, 1890.

Its important to note, that while the ISBN matches Brute Orbits by George Zebrowski the description doesnt. A truly deep mystery, its almost like someone created a fake image and posted it on the interweb for laughs.

I'm sorry, but it really bugs me that the small domino is a fucking war. While the big domino is depicted here as the AI bubble bursting.

At a minimum, it's a * poor use of the meme *, but really the priorities are just way out of whack.

I am trying to slowly peel away from Google and my next task is Google Calendar. I currently have a couple shared calendars with other people and I'm not going to be able to break them free from Google quite yet. I have a next cloud server I was hoping to set up to be my primary source but I need to be able to interact with the shared calendars as well. Can I create a group calendar and have other persons, Google Calendar sync to it?

I'm not married to Next Cloud. It was just what I have available. I can do a different setup if that would work better.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
