Ozzie D, NP-hard :bikepump: :vegan:<p>A big shout-out to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gbhnews" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>gbhnews</span></a></span> for another incredible podcast series! I'm midway through "Scratch &amp; Win", which documents the meteoric rise of the Massachusetts State Lottery, and it's pure nerd catnip: organized crime, gambling, power, machine politics, combinatorics, computer science history! I can't believe the interviews they managed to get (and that the closing song is sung by the former state treasurer). All props to the production and editing team. Ian, Isabel, Lacy, and everyone involved should be really proud. Waiting for the inevitable HBO miniseries!</p><p><a href="https://www.wgbh.org/podcasts/scratch-win" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">wgbh.org/podcasts/scratch-win</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Quote from episode 1 transcript:</p><blockquote><p>The Massachusetts Lottery had already rejected nearly twenty prototypes by the time they settled on a final design -- the one with the paper flaps. Only to have John Koza, this recently graduated wiz kid with a dimpled chin and a combover, show up and tell them it was flawed. So on the spot they made a deal.

I stopped by a grocery store this evening, and there was a receipt for $30 in lottery tickets in the cart I used. Struck me as crazy spending but I guess not. Unsure whether I should say there's a sucker born every minute or pity those with a gambling addiction. In any event, lottery commissions are looking to boost sales and profits — "Mega Millions tickets will climb to $5"

Of the #Don #Quixote #lottery - or the fight against/with #windmill #wheels

In the following new topic block of my weblog, I would like to take a look at "windmills", or rather "wind turbines" and other technological solutions such as "hydrogen technology" for a change, in order to "break my lance" for a sustainable energy supply and climate stability in the future.
