I wasn't sure if the second season was any good, but it sure got great with S02E04.

That's correct, but again there is an equation to be found and solved :)

There are two points in time, now and then.

We define x as Jimmy's age now. "Then" is when Tom was x years old.

To get from now to then (reading Tom's line) we subtract 24 and add x, hence the bottom right cell is x-24+x = 2x-24.

Now the equation is simply 2 \times (2x - 24) = 24, or x = 18.

Since it was solved so quickly, here's the most difficult one in the set (it was marked as difficult, and not mandatory), which made me fetch pen and paper:

There is a way without trying, but building the equation was the tricky part (solving it is simple).

Let's define x as the number of children. Every child should get x-4 books, and there are x \times (x-4) books. The number of books freed by the 2 children who don't like them is 2 \times (x-4). That's the same number as are given to the remaining children i.e. (x-2) \times 1. Hence, 2 \times (x-4) = (x-2) \times 1 or x = 6.

If you collect more taxes with a flat 15% on everyone than with 14-70% "progressively", all else being equal, the high earners must currently all (or mostly) be paying just 14%. Is that true?

Hence, enforcing the high earners to pay 15% (instead of 14%) is just reducing the tax load on low earners by increasing it for high earners, no?

Wouldn't an APY equal to the inflation rate (3%) already be "free"? When APY < inflation, you pay more than you get back.

Did they give you their 2-of-3 key for the collateral, or you had to provide an address, and they signed a transaction they constructed? What amount? The full collateral? The collateral minus their 1.5% fee?

In case of liquidation the remaining value will be equal to what you're owed, but there's also the case where the borrower just vanishes, and the value of the Bitcoin rises dramatically. Would the lender get the full appreciation in that case, or the platform takes their cut?

If the borrower defaults, the platform gives you their 2-of-3 key straight up and you collect 100% of the Bitcoin securing the loan?

If the borrower defaults and the platform goes defunct during the year, you get nothing?

Oregano?

I guess it's pizza herbs, and looking at some pictures of blooming oregano, they kinda look like the plant on the bag. The nutrition facts would match about four spoonfuls.

Past simple tense?

The masses and the pulley are irrelevant when you ask about the acceleration?

Am I the only one who thinks he should have swapped the axes? Don't you usually use the x-axis for the parameter you adjust?

If you build the binary using guix, its SHA256 checksum should match what's in the SHA256SUMS file.

SHA256SUMS.asc contains the signatures of the developers attesting SHA256SUM is correct.

Without using guix, i.e. just the normal build procedure, you usually get a different binary every time you build it.
