Excel supports iterative calculations, which allows you to use circular references. If you enable it, you need to specify a maximum number of iterations excel will run on each update. I believe you can also specify a minimum delta which wil

The problem is, with simple ideas like this, they typically don't get published. The only place they would be published is in introductory textbooks, or books/papers about pedagogy; and both of those are relativly rare. In contras

How does that feedback loop work? People not spending money decreases the velocity of money, which effectively reduces the money supply, causing deflation. Similarly, the drop in demand itself acts as a counter pressure to inflation by simp

The moral of that story is don't let your queue go up to infinity. Drop 1/101 events and serve the other 99% with a typical latency. Instead of latency going to infinity to everyone, your service gracefully-ish degrades by serving

Air resistance applies a force opposite to the direction of travel (retrograde). At any given instant, the effect is to not change your direction of movement, but decrease your speed of movement. A retrograde force will always lower every p

In principle this would work. If they had a spinning mass, then moved the mass closer to the center of rotation, its speed would increase. The reason they do not do this is that it is just not that useful in this context. One of the major l

If the purpose of buying real estate is to build wealth, then it is, by definition, an investment. If the purpose is to provide shelter, it is not. In practice, people buy houses both as an investment and a shelter. So the CPI attempts to i
