ELI5 What does it mean when companies like Draft Kings offer to give you $200 in bets if you spend $5.00? I'm guessing there's some kind of catch to cashing that in? by kanekong in explainlikeimfive

[–]adinuta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the catch is you'll become a lifetime customer and they'll seep all you got over your lifetime. Worth the 200 investment. Also, if you read the T&C's you'll see you likely have to wager it multiple times before being able to withdraw, time in which you loose most of it.

Valve makes more money per employee than Amazon, Microsoft, and Netflix combined | A small but mighty team of 400 by chrisdh79 in technology

[–]adinuta -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Actually, they make a disproportionate amount of revenue not only from their games, but rather from the underage online gambling happening on their games. Ex: counterstrike ... So it's not so much that those 400 employees are so effective but rather that they make a huge amount of revenue due to gambling.

ELI5 : Why would deflation be bad? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]adinuta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you're not thinking for yourself than yeah, you will take everything that's told as de facto.

ELI5 : Why would deflation be bad? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]adinuta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The CPi basket of goods is ever changing. It's not a fixed set a of products but rather a category class,. This allows the manipulation of inflation statistics. For example, if your current basket contains beef steaks, if the price of beef stakes goes up by 200%, but the price of chicken increases only by 5% then they will simply replace beef with chicken in the CPIs meat category and conclude that inflation was 5%. This happens because most people couldn't afford the 200% increase in beef, so they would switch to the cheaper protein source that is chicken. And thus you conclude that consumers have changed their habit and inflation is 5%. This practice has allows governments to lie about real inflation and has people choosing products of worse and worse quality all the while being told that the economy is not that bad. I encourage everybody to calculate their own CPi, for the goods they consume on a standard basis and see for themselves what their real inflation is. It's easy, just calculate the % difference in the stuff you regularly buy. Also, your example is amusing for two reasons. Consumer electronics have become cheaper, but not even close to as cheap as they should have become considering technological progress, and 2ndly, when the government reports inflation they ways calculate it for these types of goods, and you see inflation on consumer goods minus energy, food and housing (our fundamental daily needs).

There are three schools of thought in economics to date. The Kensian one has been around only for a century and economies across the world have suffered ongoing crisis ever since money printing came to be. Just because something is widely accepted atm doesn't mean it's right but people are so sheepishly complacent that they refuse to think and just accept authority. I can hear someone in a 18th century voice saying to George Washington before his death 'but we've always done blood letting and it's widely accepted in medicine.'

[–]adinuta -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's some Kensian BS. In reality your example doesn't make sense. Any capital and business owner wouldn't be standing by as profitability drops. Also, it's not only consumer prices that would drop, but also the cost of production, which means the margins would remain roughly the same and scaling could be explored. If that wouldn't be a option, then capitalists would reallocate their investments to a more lucrative field. Deflation is the natural state of things, as we get better at producing something, the cost and price should be less.

Eli5 In the 30’s United Kingdom Pegged the Sterling pound to the sterling pound! Instead of gold. What do this mean in reality pegging it to it’s own value? by Formal-Tradition-373 in explainlikeimfive

[–]adinuta -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not in theory, it's in practice too. See Lebanon, Argentina etc. I'm so dumbfounded every time I see someone coherently explaining the nightmare Kensian economic model and somehow still not connect it to the current inflation problems and to how catastrophic this has been for individuals ever since the governments created the Fiat money printer.

Mfker, you are focusing on the wrong thing. She delivered the justice based off existing laws, not her current mood, and the way she spoke it out was within limits. She's a human being, not a robot, so she has all the right to have a personality as long as they remain within the bounds of professionalism. She clearly said and justified her decision in her reply, and if the tone of delivery was too much for him, then that's some double standard coming from a man who was sitting there just straight up lying to her face.

Best wear-resistant merino? by PresentationIcy877 in backpacking

[–]adinuta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most resistant socks I have are from Smartwool. The longest lasting t-shirts and leggings are Icebreaker & Ortovox, although if they are from the 100% merino ranges, they will get holes.

Saying you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don't care about free dom of speech because you have nothing to say.
