Yes of course, if both parties agree then both parties think it's fair, it's only a problem when one of the parties is forced to accept.

Have you asked the manufacturer? Maybe that's how it's meant to run, if it works, satisfactorily. If it was me I'd just use it, until it doesn't work and then I'd investigate, but then I'm a lazy bugger... 😴

Does anyone know what happened to @beecee?

I think so, but it will take a revolution, and there will be a revolution, to find out; on a lighter note, the pressure is rising. Can't you just clarify your meaning, please; I've enjoyed our conversations. 🖖

OK, is what acceptable? The transaction, or that it will cost more tomorrow?

Like I've said "ask for clarification", in some cultures it's called usury.

I see your interest in this bit of pig has grown since yesterday, is 10% more a fair price?

Interest is the start of the rabbit hole; why do you think money is valuable?

No, but it does have to be work; money is a piece of paper, therefore it can't...

This type of speculation, is just inviting people to name their favourite god.

It wasn't an accusation. OK, let me clarify the OP, the assumption here is the market is free to operate, find all the hidden niches and expand into them; the question is, can we find an algorithm that benifits everyone, as system that doesn't allow money to earn more than hard work?

More money equal's less question's...

That depends on the pay grade, in my experience...

We all know why, but for some reason "because I have too" isn't good enough...

Hence the apology. 🙄

While today it's the lingua franca, it's perfectly possible that the person who solves it, would consider our current language to be double Dutch... IOW Math doesn't/can't solve everything.

While it's true that math has come closest to it, it's also true that, as yet, it hasn't got it on the nose; I wonder how math would describe/conceptualise a game of charades? Sorry, couldn't resist... 🙄

It would be nice to know, or would it? "If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stare's back"

There's a reason stereotypes tend to be a good rule of thumb, I see it everyday on the poker table, Americans tend to be more aggressive than us Brits (edit/ and ironically play less conservatory) and those that learn their poker by watching it on TV are easy pickings. Like I've said, culture decides on the rules. Don't fall into the trap of imagining our current model is in any way free, besides it's already regulated by some sort of moral code, just not a fair one. It's just a variable in the equation. Like in the plethora of primate studies that have shown, same effort 'should' equal same reward equal's fair It's why revenge is such an insidious barrier to enlightenment...

It could be "straight out of Crompton", but you didn't grow up there... 😉

What makes you think the free market is already moral?

OK??? How is buy to let, fair (in this context)? TBH, I'm not sure how to parse your sentence, please clarify.

Off the top of my head, buy to let is fundamentally immoral in my mind; in my culture (post Thatcher) that means, taking advantage of a windfall that one doesn't earn, to take advantage of other peoples children/those that aren't so lucky. Besides, that's a different topic.

In the context of this thread (and many other contexts), it's a socially backed guide to fair behaviour.

Maybe, the human that designed the AI is mocking you for not knowing the differences... 🧐
