@louis If i had been born 2 year layers they wouldn't have beat me to the algorithm. While the app was free and Mich code released I never released the compression algorithm. To this day 30 years later no one has built a faster p2p system with better compression.
That said lets say someone had beat me Tobit.. then in would have invented a different algorithm. I invent dozens of algorithms every year that are able to outperform the best in the industry. So no reason to think I wouldn't have just choosen something else to invent.
The thing about lucknia, a smart person knows their odds and plays the game so they win. Look at my crypto and stock investments. It is almost pure luck in the sense that it is a statistical system. Yet in have never had a single year I've lost money on the market. Why? Because even luck can be mastered when you know math ;) That said you can't really invest like that without massive diversifications so that Kant accessible to the poor for sure obviously. But in didnt do that till later in life too.
