You shouldn't feel bad about that, because that money isn't lost, you just used that money to buy enjoyment which is valuable as well. And that is without even accounting for the amount of knowledge and experience gained by self h

Just so you know that kind of reasoning is flawed. Farmers are perfectly capable of using less glyphosphate, but the problem is that their buyers pay them so little that it isn't cost effective to do anything other than spray glypho ev

I think this quote says it all: "Importantly: Fundamentals are sound, the economy is doing fine, there is no evidence of abandoning Japanese equities.” If fundamentals are sound, the economy is fine and people keep their Japanese equit

Maybe, but running your business purely based on game theory is in itself pretty stupid.

I agree that we should scrap the techbros out of the picture. But otherwise in practice UBI is perfectly possible.

It has to do with marijuana. According to the Missouri health department, marijuana products without added Vitamin E were failing the safety test because they contained naturally occurring Vitamin E. So specifically for marijuana products t

I think your analogy is flawed. You assume that any attacker that breaches a layer of defense will do so by breaking the encryption or by stealing the key, but that doesn't have to be the case. In your analogy of the bank robbers, the

this sound really spoiled. I think if your first experience with this kind of software is librecalc you'd be perfectly fine with it. Especially because you mention usability. Expectations are very important for perceived usability, but

I don't think the examples are meant as actual real world things, but rather abstractions to help reason about the problem. The most important thing about the halting problem, is that Turing gave an example of a computational problem t

I understand that from a purely economic/free market perspective rent controls are a bad thing. But for an 'ideal free market' to exist there are some requirements that in the real world don't apply. In an ideal free mar

so basically you're agreeing that other factors can play as big/bigger role in supply of housing units?
256.
by legacynl 2y ago
yes indeed if rent controls would limit rent to 10 dollars a month then all landlords will be quickly out of business. but that is obviously not how it works
257.
by legacynl 2y ago
On the other hand you seem to think that letting the market decide will solve all problems? That's hilariously naive.
258.
by legacynl 2y ago
It's not that rent controls dont have any effect, it's just that the effect is not very significant. Rent controls have existed long before the current housing crisis, it's not the cause.

> Rent control means the end of new supply from the market. Can you explain why you think this? The way I see it, rent control just means that property developers will have to wait a little bit longer before their investments start payin

On android there is a way for apps to initially provide a barebones package, that downloads and installs quickly, but that then fully downloaded itself afterwards. So I guess there already has been some engineering effort, just not in makin

Cool, but apparently on average there is no evidence for that. Perhaps you're confusing experience with intelligence?

Idk where you are located but this is likely not true

by legacynl 3y ago
If you account for differences in genetics and upbringing, then brain size has a correlation with intelligence. But it's only slight and other factors seem to be more predictive, like genetics and upbringing. Also it has not been estab

You're implying that the reason for the increase in IQ scores is the result of society suddenly focusing more on educational outcomes, but I think you're wrong about that. Society's ideas about childhood education and educati

Yeah but you provided no evidence, no reasoning, or anything else that might have elevated your comment above a mere guess. If you throw enough spaghetti at the wall, some will stick.
