Where are the interesting places that #EconTwitter and #auspol are going to hang out?

I'm having a look at mastadon: @[email protected]

Redundency is a good thing.

That didn’t take long. First post grad lecture down @UniofAdelaide. Back in the #unilife! It’s a beautiful campus but changing alligence to the blacks is going to take some effort!

@GiacomoArmand @WallStreetApes Assuming that the AI arms race is gong to be centred on missive data centres, is like thinking that electricity was always going to be centrally generated. All this investment poured into paradigm controlled by one company is the antithesis of capitalism.

@brivael “you're my equal, so I treat you as a capable adult” implies equality of endowments, and therefore immediately fails on its first touch with real reality.

@heynavtoor You either didn’t read the paper yourself or buried the lede that it was a simulation of what could happen with the current models if sponsor information was injected.

@neticous @Handre @elonmusk Most business don’t know how business works.

@rasqual @Handre …. The surplus of DC3s, sold for a song after the war (a public subsidy for private capital) set up the network nodes that revolutionised air travel (and that revolution couldn’t happen without that investment). Same for NASA pubic domain tech (Intel?), same for GPS.

@rasqual @Handre Urrrm who was paying for most of the aviation innovation. As soon as an innovation costs got more that what two or three “normal” individuals could provide the gov stepped in. The DC3 was over engineered to the Nth degree (highly economically inefficient), but….

[Phil Kalogeras @Philkx2]

@AndrewHurley66 @Handre That speaks to the importance of naming the boundaries around the system you’re describing when you’re trying to show a system as being “efficient” or otherwise.

[Phil Kalogeras @Philkx2]

@rcaldwell333 @Handre He thinks the community note attached to this post was aimed right at this reply!

@DrewPavlou The subsequent land rights act was written and enacted by the Fraser Liberal government. I see where the LLM’s get the pattern of being so confidently but absolutely wrong from now.

[Phil Kalogeras @Philkx2]

@DrewPavlou … English law at the time should have prevailed, ipso facto, if those lands were not bought or squired through treaty. Not to sound like a GPT, but that’s not a Left wing conspiracy, that’s the law of the land! (8-1 decision including some very conservative justices).

@Frankbutler007 @ellymelly Why do they want to expand trading hours? It’s not like the demand for glasses is elastic?

[Phil Kalogeras @Philkx2]

@Frankbutler007 @ellymelly It has everything to do with it. Rapacious corporatised capitalism, uses information asymmetry to vacuum up every available dollar of disposable income. If I was to walk around the city visiting 4 different glasses retailers, how many companies am I actually visiting?

@jack_whitcomb_ @utility_maxxer Bah - all economic is just energy x demographics ☺️

[Phil Kalogeras @Philkx2]

@The_SwingState @AntonyGreenElec So you keep saying despite many explanations.

[Phil Kalogeras @Philkx2]

@AntonyGreenElec @The_SwingState @The_SwingState But in Finnes with 9 candidates, and the bottom 5 holding 13.4% of votes, 0.4% between third and 4th and only 9% between 4th and 1st (on the first count) all the top 4 were viable winners. Maybe a lot of greens preferences went to them over labor?

[Phil Kalogeras @Philkx2]

@AntonyGreenElec @The_SwingState Was my signalling by voting under the senate line for many years in SA to put CB & DF last(ish) all for nought? 🫣😊

[Phil Kalogeras @Philkx2]

@The_SwingState @AntonyGreenElec If someone doesn’t win at least 50% of the vote in their own right it makes sure that the least disliked candidate gets up. The most popular second best choice. Tends to keep the elected a tad interested trying to govern for everyone rather than just for their team.

@AngelicJudgment @iamReyDaniel @FoxNews @ToLegit2Quit_50 I don’t think SNAP is payable in Nigeria.
