"mental clickbait of the classic aphorisms" is one way to phrase 'attribution"

Out of curiosity, what is the most difficult thing about building a browser?

Are these not the 'friction can be ignored' assumptions of economics? They are, of course, blatantly false. But that doesn't stop such models from effectively modelling real-world behavior.

Granted, I know a slight bit about general equilibrium theory, but nothing about DSGE.

I'm always surprised when people suggest using a different language if you want typing in Python. Python's (second?) largest appeal is probably its extensive ecosystem. Whenever people suggest just changing languages, I wonder if they work in isolation, without the need for certain packages or co-worker proficiency in that language.

> Why not use them?

Because you can now use typing WITH the entire Python ecosystem.

That's terrible. Best of luck to you both.

Thanks for linking that thread. Really puts things in perspective.

I personally don't see downloadability as a significant factor in the morality of breaching security. If it's bad to hack a login screen to gain access to private information, why wouldn't it be bad to hack encryption to do the same thing? What moral dimension does downloadability alter?

I think the house analogy fails because you cannot duplicate a house, take it somewhere else, and attempt to break into it there. If you could, that would undoubtedly be seen as a violation.

A considerable group of people think AGI or even ASI is right around the corner

Similar story here. Goes to show how effective brainwashing kids as an advertisement technique is.

There are movie critics that go on a rollercoaster ride and then complain about a lack of subtext

Googling "Cantillon Effect" gives suprisingly few results. Out of the top five results, two are Bitcoin-related, one is Reddit, and one is the Wikipedia page of Richard Cantillon himself.

The top comment on /r/AskEconomics is:

"The cantillon effect doesn't really exist in any significant capacity. Central banks nowadays announce their actions well ahead of time, that means before the actual expansion of the money supply, people know this expansion will happen, and markets price in that expansion. So there really isn't much benefiting from being "early".

Beyond that there really isn't much empirical evidence on the cantillon effect to exist in any significant capacity."

Since I know little about this topic I'd appreciate HN's view.

There needs to be a path to redemption, yes, but this very clearly isn't it.
