This effect doesn't go away entirely though (as was admittedly stated in the article). In political betting markets, you can almost always find a +EV bet by betting on the most likely candidate to win because those who are on the side of th

Even explicitly knowing I was looking at signs telling me to "relax and enjoy myself," I found myself interpreting the sign as the warning/restriction counterpart message until my second or third (even more careful) reading. It's a lot like

Violence is 100% caused by "people being asshats to each other" though. There may be complicated motivations or factors involved, but without at least one person being an "asshat" in any interaction between multiple human beings, you don't

"Police believe that despite this, the files are still circulating." The quality of journalism is pretty awful these days. I can't believe someone would feel qualified to write an article, especially one that came out today, without

Regardless of what happens going forward, Bitcoin has been a huge success by basically any metric that would have been put together >2 years ago. I don't think a lot of people who haven't been following the topic since the project was f

Except that the point of the parent post was that people would always hoard bitcoins and never spend them because the value would always rise. If you don't expect it to always rise, then you don't have the issue (not that it would necessari

1. There's an equilibrium rate that will be reached. 2. Time preference exists. 3. If this is the one thing in the world that can only get more valuable as time goes on, why aren't you spending your entire net worth on it as we speak?

Moreso even than being wrong about a lot of things, I've been continuously amazed at how polarized coverage on Bitcoin is. It's very rarely been approached, by journalists, as "here's an interesting technology. It's a little kooky, but it's
