@HeidyKhlaaf Neither could Stuxnet. It just needed a USB. The agent doesn’t need to access a network it just needs the payload to get there. The odds of any one succeeding are low, but across thousands of instances does that matter?
@arpitrage One paper suggests that moving to the 2% CPI cap is estimated to have reduced new rental listings by 18%. Recent increases in construction come on the heels of massive new subsidies and the creation of a new land value tax scheme.
@alz_zyd_ I think adding lanes does relieve congestion in the sense that it still allows more people to travel at the same slow speeds. In housing, the same thing can manifest as more people being housed at the same high price. Dose matters too.
@DKThomp Is this not just a return to the 80's-90's? The "John Hughes" film was its own kind of franchise, as were Spielberg, Fincher, Cameron, etc. Would be interesting to see how Hollywood shifts between centers of gravity historically: directors -> actors -> IP and back
@mattyglesias In other countries, soccer is still capitalist, its just the pro-teams themselves doing the development in part because there is an incentive to do so. Arguably our more regulated-monopoly approach to pro sports leads to this outcome.
@ATabarrok Is the issue then the irregularity of claims? If I get a bad burger, I can change purchasing behavior easily. A large claim is an infrequent purchase, and the consequences of a lower than expected payout are quite severe. It's a matter of scale as opposed substance.
@newyorkgrooovee Other teams that lost their best or one of their best players left on the roster to the portal: Kansas, Alabama, NC State, Oregon, Wisconsin, Notre Dame. Honorable Mention: Duke (Khamenia is legit, just didnt see the floor on a good team as a freshman)
@CharlesFLehman CPS unemployment by age segment is very noisy. The smoothed value is higher than it was last year, but I think the more valuable point is that it is similar to what we saw in the mid 2010's which was hardly a catastrophic period for college grads.
@BadCallOfficial I think the argument is that if this is not a deflection, then it is effectively a dribble. You can't dribble with your feet in the backcourt.
@mattyglesias I think AI will genuinely solve this to some extent though. If an agent can solve the Lazy Man problem for you, then you will just be charged the equilibrium price. In some ways this could represent Luddite or Old Person negative discrimination.
@goatpurple1@arpitrage@aarmlovi I agree they’re not worth as much, but as you’ve just indicated they are worth *something. The fact that they’re not profitable is why they only get loans worth a fraction of the underlying asset so if the owner goes tits up the bank can still recover value.
