You haven't answered the central question, which is why you want a punishment outside of the deterrence effect. And I've addressed the deterrence issue at length, just asserting that my model is wrong without explaining why won&#x

>Speeding is either a misdemeanour or crime, that means it is simply prohibited. Period. Why not set the fine to a million dollars for everyone, then, or at least significantly boost the fine? Under my framework it's easy to answer,

I ran through the model in other comments, so I won't repeat it here, but in general the disincentive is the same, but people's desire to do something that costs a certain amount goes up with their wealth (called an income effect

No, because a wealthier person is not more likely to harm a wealthy person while speeding. Again, the harm is constant and does not depend on the speeder's wealth.

>I don't understand how you reached this conclusion. Set X= negative value to society of an action we want to discourage, and Y= probability of getting caught. If a fine is set at X/Y, then the expected cost of doing this actio

by ikeboy 7y ago
Yes, if you value doing something more than the negative value to society, you should be permitted to do it. This is the entire point of pigovian taxes.

A constant fine has a constant discouraging effect.

by ikeboy 7y ago
Speeding has a constant negative effect on society. It doesn't vary based on how wealthy the speeder is. Therefore, if the rate is higher for some people, it's either insufficiently disincentivizing poorer people from speeding, or

There's a 0% chance if you have infinite leverage.

Just look at the category. If it's in groceries or similar it will be correct. If it's in like electronics or something weird like that then something is up.

This has nothing to do with interpreting probability, but with a utility function that's not linear in terms of wealth. With decreasing marginal returns to wealth, the same bet becomes less attractive at lower wealth levels. Although t

Some are specialized, but e.g. https://dotronix.com/ looks like they offer CRT monitors to businesses and would presumably not be insanely expensive.

A casual search turns up https://www.thomasnet.com/products/cathode-ray-tubes-crt-885... , with 23 CRT manufacturers as of now. Are the products they sell different in some important way?

Yes, Piketty and co are the challengers. Therefore the burden of proof is on them to convince people their ideas are true, and presenting their ideas without pointing out how the rest of the field thinks of them would be the analogue of you

I started at 170, and I'm 5'8 and mid-20s. Down to low 150s now, will probably stop around 130-140 which is closer to the bottom of the healthy range, and then go up to 17-800 calorie range.

I'm not really optimizing for price, it just happens automatically when you buy food that's not very processed. Really the biggest factor for me was a food I like enough to have daily, and minimal preparation. The cheap is a bonus

I did Soylent for a while, but I wanted something more natural and in line with the traditional "pyramid". Soylent was sort of my default until I bothered to learn the bare minimum about nutrition.

I go out for a warm meal every so often. I just don't want to have to do that every day or to have to learn how to cook. Before this I drank Soylent for around 2 years, I'm not the kind of person to get bored by lack of variety in
