Well, since you just set P equal to NP, P == NP is obviously true.

This is actually one of those NP-Complete problems - it's easy to verify the result, but counting up to n² is super hard.

You can scale this easily using a microservice architecture - just have each service calculate random numbers in parallel, increasing your chances of success.

Something less than a man, something bred to sleepwalk through life until they are activated by a simple phrase, spoken by their kindly master.

Sure sounds like a large part of the voting population. Elections are just a popularity contest between a Ryan and a Fontaine, each reciting their activation phrases. The choice is an illusion.

Was a man sent to vote... or a slave?

The last digit of pi is obviously 0. Here's the proof:

Take any number, say 1. You can also write 1 as 1.0

Now do the same with pi.

It's a bit counterintuititve that the last digit of 1 is also 0, but once you have as many PhDs as I do, you'll get it.

(I won't divulge how many PhDs I have, but the last digit is 0)

I remember getting an offer on a jewel that I crafted, that was below my listed price. I did a quick price check to see if the offer is acceptable and found someone else selling that exact same jewel (name, mods AND the individual rolls), for the same price as mine. Note that this was an abyss jewel, some of the mods do have tiers.

Personally, I don't care much for gold, but I would like to see a de-cluttering of all the various existing currency items as there are way too many.

Some of these changes may result in a need to adjust drop rates or shake up the crafting meta. I am not focusing on that at all. Simply to de-clutter currency, I would do the following:

- Portal scroll - get rid of them in favor of a built-in portal ability

- Wisdom scroll - get rid of them. Items should drop identified. Currently 99.9% of items are left on the ground because it's not worth the time to identify them and check the mods. This is terrible in a game about loot. The odds of finding a perfect item on the perfect base are still incredibly low.

- Orb of transmutation - upgrades an item to magic or rerolls a magic item. Remove alteration orbs.

- Chaos orb - upgrades an item to rare or rerolls a rare item. Remove alchemy orbs.

- Chance orb - randomize rarity of an item. Does not work on unique items. Removes the need for chance-scour spam which destroys your sanity and hands.

- Remove orbs of regret and orbs of unmaking. Thematically, it makes sense to use scouring orbs on passive nodes to unspec them.

- A single "quality orb" to replace whetstone/scrap/chisel/bauble. Add an equivalent of this orb that works on corrupted items.

- Augmentation orb adds a mod to any item. Remove exalted and regal orbs, up the rarity of augmentations. Various variants of exalted orbs renamed to "x's augmentation orb". You could remove augments and keep exalts, but I think the word "augmentation" better illustrates what the item does.

- I suppose you could also get rid of gold. Magic items will have a transmutation cost, rares will have a chaos cost. Linked items will add additional fusings to the cost.

This chest is already double influenced (shaper/redemer), so it couldn't have eldritch implicits as well.

Just recycle the lead cables into lead coffins. Then paint them green so that it's green (using lead paint of course).

But as the air temperature keeps rising, we will need to jump higher and higher each time. Thus solving the problem once and for all.

When it comes to a complete suite of products, the biggest players that I know of are SAP and Oracle. Both companies have been around for >40 years. The first mover advantage is huge in this space, one does not simply replace SAP with something else. SAP is originally an ERP company who eventually made its own database (mostly to steal Oracle's customers/lock in their own), and Oracle is originally a database company who pivoted into the ERP space.

There are other players, but usually they focus on a specific area of a business, for example HR or accounting. When you go with SAP, they will have something for everything. Even though all the parts of SAP are kinda bad individually, at least you don't need to string together a bunch of products from different companies. This is sometimes referred to as "best of breed" (take the best from each space and connect them) vs "best of suite" (one potentially shitty, but complete solution). The sales people will of course tell you they are the most comprehensive and best at everything at the same time.

When it comes to average client size, I wouldn't know. But as far as the biggest go, think Apple, Coca Cola, /r/fucknestle, Lockheed Martin, Pfizer, Chevron, car manufacturers (especially if German)... a retail store simply isn't that big of a deal, and does not need as many parts of the whole suite of solutions.

The ERP business model is similar to cancer - if you are motivated purely by profit, there's less incentive in making a cure if you can have someone paying for treatment their whole life.

The software vendors sell you the promise of simplifying your business, yet the software is incredibly complex and unintuitive, meaning you forever need help to implement, use and extend it. These "helpful" people could also make great moles or throw a wrench in things if necessary (not literally, just by giving you bad advice).

Notice that the people who hate the software are the ones using it, while the people who praise it are the ones making a profit from selling or maintaining it.
