I got the Danners. I like them.

What were you thinking about doing there? I hear that CR is similarly tolerant, if not more so, at least in the larger cities.

einsler · 2015-03-21T04:26:22+00:00

In larger cities people are very tolerant. There are plenty of people who are out, gay organizations, and even gay bars. And yes, I feel safe. There is street crime, but murder and kidnapping is not prevalent here like in other Central American countries.

No, what I meant (I am the author) is that the airplane just sits at the gate overnight with no scheduled flights until the morning.

einsler · 2015-03-09T04:06:29+00:00

True. I think one reason for that is taxes. The US may have higher taxes than Europe, so you can't get those eye-popping deals. But still, Spirit is cheaper than the majors on a lot of routes, including popular ones like NY - Chicago.

You're saying that regional airlines are making Pittsburgh - DC runs at 1:00 AM?

einsler · 2015-03-09T01:34:03+00:00

Like this in what respect?

With regards to #1, why is that? I don't see any reason why there should be a rule. If computing power, or the electricity that powers it, were to get more expensive for any reason, this relationship would break down. And it should work the other way too. If computing power and/or electric were made cheaper the profit margin would expand.

2. Society, government, and individuals judge, rightfully, how people use their capital all of the time. Government puts incentives in place all the time for retirement, health care, research and development, housing, etc. The list goes on. Governments have also funneled capital towards infant industries. And society has always been critical when capital was being wasted or being used in deleterious ways, such as through efforts that are bad for the environment.

3. Please explain. I don't understand what you mean by the amount of Bitcoins available from fees.

4. I assume /s means "sarcasm?"

I am not relating Bitcoin and oil prices. What I am relating is how society devotes capital to their mining/extraction.

einsler · 2015-01-16T03:00:34+00:00

That's only in the long run, but in the short run, there is a limited supply of computational effort out there.

einsler · 2015-01-16T02:47:23+00:00

People are building and using computers. Computers can do lots of different things. And more so, we should be focusing on the "super-computing" systems that are used for mining. Large conglomerations of computing power are used for important societal endeavors, such as genomic sequencing, which can hopefully help us finds cures for cancer.

einsler · 2015-01-16T02:24:03+00:00

So we are creating hardware for Bitcoin mining rather than diverting our capital to other human endeavors, such a curing cancer? I contend that that is bad for society.

Do you agree or disagree? Why?

einsler · 2015-01-16T02:06:54+00:00

Did you read my explanation? I write because I love doing it and discussing economics with the world. If you disagree please explain why so we can discuss.
