If it takes more than 4 hours to produce that is less than 50$ an hour, you can make more tutoring undergrads calculus.

I think you would have to offer at least $10K to make this even minimally interesting because of transaction costs.

QuoteOriginally posted by: deepvaluewhat does mcmc mean?Markov chain monte-carlo. I'd be interested, but MCMC is a very, very general term. PM me with what you have in mind and we'll talk.
