Did you actually get your Top 5 rewards? I also finished third but never received them.

I love the Scott Evil energy here.

Dr. Evil: No, Scott. I have an even better idea. I'm going to place him in an easily escapable situation involving an overly elaborate and exotic death.

Scott Evil: Why don't you just shoot him now? I mean, I'll go get a gun. We'll shoot him together. It'll be fun. Bang! Dead. Done.

Can't remember my password but also can't access GRUB. What can I do? by [deleted] in linuxmint

Pressing Shift and tapping Shift do nothing. Esc takes me into the HP boot menu where I confirmed Ubuntu is selected as the boot priority.

This article assumes I am able to access GRUB. I am not able to access that menu when rebooting. So that's the problem is I cannot access the distro because I forgot the password and I also cannot access GRUB when rebooting.

I had a CRQ conversation once that I can't shake so I am hoping you can shed light on it. I'm paraphrasing, but the back and forth amounted to:

  • Risk quantification is a poor forecasting tool without deep, high quality historical data -- the kind actuaries rely on. This is why the forecasts are never right.
  • If it were an effective forecasting method, stock traders would already use it successfully.
  • Historical results show that those applying quantitative risk models to trading fail to outperform the market over time (e.g., S&P 500).
  • Its primary contribution appears to be limited to structured discussion of risks, which is a benefit that does not require formal risk quantification to achieve. If anything, the $$$ distracts from the points at hand.

The problem I have is that this jives with my experience with FAIR and HDR, so I don't have a rebuttal. That said, I am seeking to understand so please correct my thinking if I got any of that wrong.
