I agree. There have been great advances in the last 40 years. There is the need to distinguish between honest economists and those who have assumed a conclusion. Basically the equivalent of creationists. It's unfortunate that in econom

Correct me if I'm wrong. There are certain areas where economics/human behavior that are well understood. Like how people behave in markets. Macroeconomics isn't as well understood. However given the vast control the central

Ethereum decentralizes the server. There are advantages to being able to trust a server without running it yourself.

Facebook is a large crud app. Ethereum is like one computer from the 1950s. How do you get from ethereum to host Facebook?

What is needed to get to Facebook level? Is there designs that sacrifice trust in results for performance?

Imagine if Facebook was decentralized. You could own your data. There would be competition to provide the best ui. The best experience. Anti-features wouldn't exist. One company wouldn't control how a billion people communicate wi

Would anyone be interested in creating an igmur clone and then fund it via Patreon? It seems like such a basic public good, like Wikipedia.

Anecdote: I've logged hundreds of hours on mine. An LLC, waiver and self inspection might avoid the liability. This is just too complicated though.

At most expo streamlines the build process. You can do all that in xcode. It's been a while since I looked at it but apple let's you have 100 test users.

Expo.io appears to be about the build process. The app still needs to be submitted to the apple store.

There is a difference between competitive single price and monopolistic pricing.

by acover 9y ago
Monopolistic behavior. Lots of products can only be bought from a couple of companies. Competition need not apply. Even in a competitive market place they can collectively decide to overcharge the same customers.

I agree they are not identical situations. Driving is not a good analogy either. A 2 week prescription gives you a 25% chance of becoming an addict. That is Russian roulette odds. Driving everyday all year has about a 1 in 10,000 chance of

Source? From what I have read the major cause of the opioid crisis is doctors prescribing opioids for pain [0]. Even 2 week prescriptions have 25% chance of creating an addict [1]. Remember originally these were marketed to doctors as non-

3,000 deaths from September 11th 2001. 33,000 from opioid overdoses in 2015 [1]. That's like 11 9/11's every year. I'm not afraid of terrorists. I am worried if I take opioids after a root canal I'll become a drug a

Yes. Very much so. Henry Ford got extremely rich off his business. He then tried to dictate every aspect of his workers lives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Ford

I didn't assume that. I was just correcting your statement about what transfers were occurring. I do not consider myself an expert on this topic. It's good that you do. However, your evidence is weak. You have made a leap from res

No. You've transfered from customers/restaurant owners/unemployed to the workers. The unemployed get unemployment, which is a transfer from the workers. There are smarter people than us who are debating this. Maybe you should

Okay, you are a proponent of basic income. There are pilot programs happening. We'll see how that works out. The perfect is the enemy of the good. Are the inefficiencies you mentioned significant? I suggest you read the empirical studi

Do you have a source? Economists disagree about this issue. Lots of the people who are affected by the minimum wage support it. Remember, it's okay to not know something. Edit: thanks for the source. I don't think an analysis of t

Is it inefficent? Why do you think that? The perfect is the enemy of the good. When you propose an alternate solution I'd like to see it in practice before throwing millions of people to the wolves.
