A Problem in Game Theory

No.13332948 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Ok /sci/, so yesterday me and my friends were talking some game theory and eventualy started theorizing about an interesting scenario but were unable to reach the solution.

Basically the problem goes:

There are two agents, A and B, and a pool of money X. That pool of money will be used by A to hire a third agent C to provide a service, however any money that is not spent on the provision of the service will go to agent B. However A and B have to agree on who they will hire or else the money will be lost, thus, A wants to hire the agent C who maximizes the amount of the money that will be spent providing the service while charging the lowest fees, B wants to hire the agent C who spends the least amount of money possible to maximize the money he will keep, and C wants to maximize his fees will minimizing both the amount spent on the provision of the service for A and the amount B will keep.
As I said, if no agreement is reached all of the money will be lost and no one is getting anything.

To clarify, there is a single agent A and a single agent B, but multiple competing agents C

Is there a mechanism to ensure an efficient result?

So what does the actual process of genetic engineering look like? My understanding of it is that we've studied genomes enough that you can pick a specific gene sequence, like for example the one that makes insulin in humans, and then take that and put it into another organism like a poppy flower, or chinese hamster ovary cells or whatever, and use that to grow whatever proteins you need efficiently.

But how do you actually move the gene you need? I get that the picture is a visual demonstration of that idea and there aren't really molecule scale tweezers involved or some bullshit, but what do you actually do?

Does personality matter more to women than looks?

Females diverge far less from what is considered attractive while men's looks are all over the board. Why is that?

Scientifically speaking, why can't we just throw all of our trash into active volcanoes?

Also if anybody has any inexpensive alternative ideas about garbage disposal, I'd love to hear them.

How do you get the angle at which the point M sees the side 2 ? Angle between 1' and 2'. In the result it is arctg(sqr(2)/2).

Want to transition from law to engineering

No.13338189 ViewReplyOriginalReport
/sci/ I'm 30. MS. Biochem, JD. Dissatisfied with practicing law.

Thought I would practice patent law but that hasn't materialized.... I hate being a general practitioner, my chances of breaking into patent law are slimming by the day, (competitive didn't get the first firm job so difficult/impossible to get hired now) and miss the sciences.

I can't shake the desire to pursue a career in engineering, bioprocess engineering, genetic engineering, etc. Just some practical application of my MS.

Anyway I feel lost and don't know what to do. All I know is I hate practicing law and wake up wishing I was a molecular biologist again, or something kind of biological engineer.

Is it too late? Am I retarded? Where do I go from here to escape the hellscape that is the practice of law?

You know what just typing this makes me feel like a retard.
