Your car example has a sample of 1 though, I'm specifically talking about large samples.

I think you're missing the point, when you increase the sample size of a favorable bet, eventually the probability of you losing money in the series of bets becomes negligible.

Take the video's example of say risking a coin toss of $10 for a potential $15.

You only need to win 40% of the time to break even ($15 * 0.4 - $10 * 0.6 = 0).

To work out the probability of this for different sample sizes we just look at the cumulative binomial distribution:

For 10 samples, 40% success or more occurs 82.8% of the time.
For 100 samples, 40% success or more occurs 98.2% of the time.
For 1000 samples, 40% success or more approximates 100% of the time.

If you want to work it out yourself or visualize it, you can use a tool like this:

Well, I see the options as either working the system to make it better, complaining about it but doing nothing, or discarding it in hope you can make one that's better at a later time. I think it may be you who's more optimistic on this occasion. ;-)
I see the system as broken, but not irrevocably so. It may be likely that it won't be fixed, but it's only a certainty if no one tries to fix it.
I learned a lesson at 4 years old. My dad was drunk and told me to clean my room to be spotless in 5 min. I just said "NO!" and was punched across the room. The lesson was, no matter how wrong authority may be, simply defying it openly nearly always leads to you losing, not authority, and usually you lose far worse than you imagined you might. It's not 'right' or 'fair', but it is reality.

I didn't intend to, but watched the whole video. So funny.

Reminds me of something the comedian Doug Stanhope said once, i'll paraphrase from memory: "If you lose your job to an illegal alien with no training or education who doesn't even speak our language... then your job sucks."

C or B, that's the lowest you can go with 22/24 fret guitar.. After that you need to start extending neck to get intonation right and you lose more attack the lower you go. Not to mention that B is ~60Hz, pretty much everything below that don't form decent chords specially with heavy distortion. I have drop B tuning (B-F#-B-E-A-C#) on same looking sunburst Fender strato '80 and i've already run out of room fix intonation (thank goodness for my Rockinger Tremolo bridge circa '81 and it's flexibility..)

He also forgot how to use the horn or headlights?

If you had alerted that lady she was driving that badly, she may very well have thought "Oh shit, I must be bad, better pull over".

I think many people have experienced feeling sleepy at the wheel and often you lose your judgement skills due to this tiredness, you really need some outside intervention to alert you and just filming it is really not the right thing to do.

Yeah, when the car weighs nothing, it doesn't take much power to go fast! It's all about power to weight ratio. These cars come close to the power to weight ratio of Nascar cars weighing 3500lbs with 750hp, these weigh 1025 and use 1.6liter water cooled VW motors, making it possible that they have a better power to weight ratio than Nascar, and they definitely handle better.
My off road race buggy had a weight requirement to be at least 1500lbs, I had to add lead weights. Even at that, a 1776 VW race motor almost had it do wheelies! The light weight makes for better handling too, but it also means once you lose traction, it's unlikely you'll get it back. In off road, it also means higher jumps and softer landings.

If you're signed into YouTube you can go to: https://www.youtube.com/account_playback and uncheck the option for annotations. That turns them off by default but you can turn them on if you want from the player's setting thing. Sucky part is, you lose the easy ability to click on the boxes people put on their videos for related stuff.

Yet you keep responding. I must be pushing your buttons again ☺

If a guy like me on the Internet can make you angry so easily and make you lose your cool, I'm going go ahead and say you're not a cop, or a very bad one, or just a fucking desk jockey. In either case, the instant you try to bring your rl into an Internet argument, you've lost because you can't stand on your arguments merits and you try (and fail) to make appeals to your "authority"

Hell if you are a cop, you've threatened on sift lounge to smash my face in... So can I have your name and badge number so I can make some phone calls?

Didn't think so. So not only are you a violent cop, you're a coward

It's interesting that you called me a punk instead of a thug. Obviously you think I'm white then.

Speaking of lawn mowing, here in California, it seems the government is playing a game of good old, "Heads, I win; tails, you lose:"

California homeowners threatened with a $500 fine for letting their lawn go brown (and thereby driving down the value of "their" own home) during the drought:

"On the same day the state approved mandatory outdoor watering restrictions with the threat of $500 fines, the Southern California couple received a letter from their city threatening a $500 penalty for not watering their brown lawn."

It seems that California has a specific (if unannounced to the public) policy of keeping housing prices inflated just to get people out of the state. (And of course, the state gets their $500 either way.)

I can't see anyone in this video acting reasonably or logically.
If you're going to jump into the face of angry nutjobs, you might expect them to react like angry nutjobs.
If you really feel 'assaulted', the proper recourse is not to get back in your 'assaulter's' face and grab the camera (which it SEEMED she did). That makes it mutual combat and you lose the upper hand legally.
This does not excuse their actions, but does make them predictable.

Imagine your elation were you lose your inhibitions in favor of unbridled experience.

They also said "Of course we started late..." and it's a sketch about how a Black version of Jeopardy would be inherently stupid not an intellectual pursuit.

So if you're going for reverse racism, I think you lose, if they're going for funny, I think they lose it wasn't all that funny.

My example of the severed heads in the car trunk was taken from a book written by a judge. It was his statement that he wanted to hear it was a legal search whether it was or not, because he would not want a serial killer to walk on a 'technicality'. I know that in this case a 'technicality' is the law, but the law changes based on what people want.
I have never lied in court and a cop would be a fool to lie in court because perjury means you can't be a cop and if you lose your job, you lose your pension.

@Trancecoach
ok.
i always agree with you to a point and then you lose me.
i agree that commerce and free markets (with non-aggression) can be a good thing.
i agree that a bloated and corrupted government,bought by those who wish to game the system,a bad thing.
i also agree that inequality is not necessarily a bad thing.

but as @newtboy pointed out.history is a great teacher.
so while inequality is not really my main issue.fairness and justice IS a main issue.

the new global mafia principle only serves the powerful.
and while it may create prosperity for some,it emiserates far more than it helps.
so we both agree that this plutocracy HAS to go,what do we put in its place to keep the scales of fairness and justice equal? giving ALL an even playing field?

we both agree on the problem.
what do you suggest is a fair a just solution?

i know what mine would be but i curious what you envision the solution to be.
