    Or he doesn't care about burnout. Because of the branding of how cool space is, and robotic missions that actually advance the science not being as sexy, he has a fresh supply of e…

    But we need the counterfactual. When the labor they "optimized" would have done the same or better without their interference, we cannot tell. We just take the estimates from the m…

    There is also the Zariski topology of Spec Z that is the topology of numbers in the sense of algebraic geometry. Or of Z[x]
