    Maybe I'm missing something but is it a problem if SHIB is 20% of their reserves if 20% of what users are keeping on the exchange is SHIB? Of course we don't want what people actua…

    This. I wonder how this site can get it so wrong and I hope this wrong interpretation doesn't spread. As a native German speaker, "Eierlegende Wollmilchsau" has a clear negative co…

    I'm curious what happens if you look at your returns and other metrics at different time scales, i.e. monthly and weekly, in addition to yearly. You can't make any argument based o…

    Many smart people are drawn to solving intellectually challenging problems. That's why many end up in academia doing research even though the research may never be useful in the re…

    I'm really sad our culture is encouraging this. I know this is an unpopular opinion and may be seen as gatekeeping by some, but I believe that these "learn X in Y weeks" for deeply…

    That's how you end up with Google, Apple, and Facebook, Twitter, etc. They may start out as providing a service that works, but over time as they get bigger the incentive structure…

    I would imagine it's because they want to avoid people building bots and creating businesses around accounts creation and selling. Once you have such a secondary market you get a c…

    The model is extremely standard in mobile games, especially in Asia, where it has been the norm for almost a decade in gacha games, and where people are used to paying and gambling…

    Add to that lotteries, or pretty much anything that has random outcomes. Even if you don't gamble with cash, but something like Pokemon cards or digital items, there will always be…

    I don't think you can compare these mechanics to heroin, which is physically addictive. A fairer comparison is social media and timelines/newsfeeds, which use very similar mechanic…

    I regularly play games with gambling (gacha) mechanics and I love them. The short bursts of fun are exactly what I'm looking for in my current busy life. I have nothing against thi…

    IMO the best intro book is Sutton's [1], it's extremely accessible (little math background needed) and covers all basic concepts. Work through David Silver's course (search youtube…

    Opposite experience for me. I barely know anyone who uses FB marketplace, FB groups, or messenger. The only use case for Messenger is keeping in touch with "old people" who used it…
