Ask HN: What subjects do I study if I want to learn about non-gameable systems?
- PaulHoule 4y agoMechanism design.
- eimrine 4y agoGame theory? Seems you have something to say about your understanding of subject.
- jka 4y agoIncentives structures are important to learn about, because people often find it useful to have well-defined goals to work towards, and company or government policies can provide those goals. A software security mindset can be useful, because in the same way that software attackers theorize about how some code could be exploited, or about the way that a system may behave, people attempting to game a system are looking for flaws that they can benefit from. Statistics, research and analytical skills can be useful to practice, because for any given {game/policy situation}, it's likely that there exist many similar examples throughout history and the world at-large. It's often easier to find out how similar systems have worked rather than attempting to design your own from scratch. Good luck!
