What to do with an efficient solution to NP-complete problems if you want to be... conservative: delete it and forget you ever had it. an anarchist: publish it simultaneously on many different platforms. a supervillain: spy on communications; steal money. dead: prove you have it.

Replacing a controllable thing with a magically good thing is a slightly good action, but there's a 90% chance of accidentally creating a magically bad thing instead.

I tried reading "War and Peace", but I couldn't get into it because of Tolstoy's utter disregard for realism. For example, the calendar year is off by a whopping two centuries.
