'Trump says 'big bill' should only help GOP states: 'Don't want to benefit Dem governors' in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

True. But Trump is also an artifact of the times, not specific to the individual Trump. If it weren’t Trump, there’d likely be another Trump. Or maybe not. In any case, he’s a symptom.

In game theory, odds and evens is called matching pennies, and RPS is the 3-strategy generalization of matching pennies.

Both are games with cyclic behavior and no pure Nash equilibria.

First you must try to stab the pit and slice your hand. Then you can start doing it the right way.

I’ve always thought about behind a subscription service with an impossibly obfuscated cancellation process is a person who added “increased customer retention rate by 20%” to their cv.

The interface to log in on Overleaf is maddening. What appears to be a log in field is actually for signing up. Taking you to a "an account with email already exists" page after attempting to log in. (infosec.pub)

What's an example of economic irrationality you've observed in the world? (lemmy.world)
 

A friend from Argentina once told me Argentina keeps its best wines for themselves and exports the mediocre stuff, even at the sake of profits.

Similarly, a friend from Turkey once said he couldn’t find good Turkish olives outside of Turkey because “Turks are terrible businessmen and keep the best olives to themselves.”

These are anecdotal and might be untrue but I liked the idea.

At an individual level, it’s irrational to cooperate in a prisoner’s dilemma yet experiments show people cooperate.

Contributing to open source projects may fall into this category.

Have you observed any obvious behavior that goes counter to profit maximization? Any cool examples?
