Markets are not perfectly efficient - this is why arbitrage exists.
It likely will take some event, some slack, some inelegance for a business or entrepreneur to notice that the delta between that $5/umbrella and where they can figure out how to deliver it for $4 is worth spending time and attention on.
Markets are not perfectly efficient. Markets are perfectly imperfect.
- inflatableDodo 7y ago>Markets are perfectly imperfect. You should start writing speeches for Theresa May. This is the kind of guff she regularly comes out with.
- dang 7y agoPlease don't break the site guidelines like this, regardless of how annoying another comment is or feels. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- inflatableDodo 7y agoYeah, sorry. I think I managed to break a few there.
- hatchback176 7y agoSay whatever you want. The endgame for censorship types is to automate the process and remove the human element from online interactions.
- dang 7y agoOur idea here is to try to enhance the human element in online interactions, or at least to prevent it from destroying itself. If that isn't clear from the site guidelines, I'm not sure what would persuade you? All of them are meant sincerely. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- inflatableDodo 7y agoWe are in someone else's yard. One that mysteriously seems to feature players who interact solely through disembodied text, has a numbered scoring system and also at least one non-player character who fiercely guards a list of rules, and can alter everything. Is obviously some kind of retro cyberpunk-themed text-based multiplayer D&D clone. So, personally, I try not to directly piss off dang, who appears to currently be the dungeonmaster here, just in case I then get eaten by a grue.
- dang 7y agoI'll take it, but would rather persuade you that the rules are worth following because they make for a more interesting game.
