(i think people underestimate how much of an active ingredient 'i will hit you with this here stick if you touch my women' was in polygamy as practiced historically)

results of poly being more accepted will probably be more polyandry in friendly communities and a lot of op eds by cishet women about how their partner suggested poly to them and they found it to be a terrible idea (going to be disproportionately common among op-ed writing class)

pretty skeptical of the 'acceptance of poly means top men are taking all the women' narrative; my sense is cis/het women are the least likely demographic to enjoy these kinds of arrangements, it's just if you've got a fanbase of thousands of people you'll likely find people.

(I guess you can still think of these as resistor networks with different resistances)

@johncarlosbaez

it's a bit of a combinatorial exercise but i think if you start with all aspect ratios positive you end up with the rectangles all neatly adding up to the square/rectangle being dissected
(in some sense this feels like it has to be true "algebraically" if you express the area of each rectangle as (x_i-x_j)(y_k-y_l) and consider the sum of these as polynomials in the x_is, y_js)

this is re: the mango markets case some people seem to be claiming there are far more ethically questionable things he's done

if crypto exchanges are casinos he's the guy who walks into the casino and makes millions off the house by counting cards.
under the build-financial-institutions-out-of-a-Hobbesian-state-of-nature theory he's operating on the law of the jungle.

the thing about the avi eisenberg case which might confuse onlookers is it only really makes sense as market manipulation under the crypto-exchanges-are-legitimate-regulated-exchanges theory

the first nontrivial graph is the tetrahedron which explains the 90-91 difference

(i'd had in my head the problem of counting 3-connected planar graphs for a while, just learning someone else had done something like it helped me put the pieces together)

@johncarlosbaez
"build": glue 2 graphs along an edge and remove this edge
"trivial": anything you can build out of k-cycles and the graph with 2 vertices joined by k edges (k>=2)

@johncarlosbaez
oh i just accidentally ran into these the number of rooted 2 connected planar graphs with n edges (allowing multiple edges between vertices) runs as G_2=1,2,6,22,91 whereas the schroder numbers run 1,2,6,22,91.

roughly you can build 2-connected planar graphs out of 3-connected planar graphs and the schroder numbers count graphs which are "trivial" in this sense
