You're doing economic analysis on something that is essentially political. Jailers don't get paid because they are the best, they get paid because they have government contracts - presumably they made the lowest bid for the job. T

I'm just saying not saving data is simpler than saving data and avoids the complication. The average user doesn't need 99% of the data that google saves about them and would have no reason to store it themselves. You can have phis

I was actually referring to inhalation vs ingestion; specifically how inhalation has a 10-20 second lag before the effects are noticeable whereas ingestion takes much longer - resulting in less behavioral reinforcement. The MAOI theory is i

You're stretcing that analogy way to thin. Comcast took the strategy of continuing to push hardware cable boxes on people because it made them twice as much revenue as netflix despite netflix's high gains in Q4 2017. Now that they

The only reason anyone cares is because it's relatively easy to compute this inefficiency compared to the vast sea of inefficient products that would require signifigant effort to even approximate.
