Modern Principles. In Cryptoeconomics
by professor rat 20 May '22

20 May '22

" . . . . textbook, Modern Principles. In Cryptoeconomics we explain just enough cryptography–namely cryptographic hash functions and public-private keys–to understand what new forms of communication and organization have been made possible by these breakthroughs. We then use these fundamentals to explain NFTs, blockchains, Bitcoin, smart contracts and decentralized finance–all in a crisp, compact format accessible to everyone. Not everyone wants to teach crypteconomics, of course, or has the time (scarcity!) so this chapter will be available as an option to anyone using our book and the Achieve online course management system (in fact, it’s available now). Tyler and I have found, however, that our students, colleagues, even people at dinner parties ask us about crypto. Probably your students and friends will ask you as well. Plus our textbook is called Modern Principles so we thought we were obligated to teach these new ideas! Cryptoeconomics is a good guide to some fundamentally new ways of trading, communicating, and cooperating. . . . " https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2022/05/cryptoeconomics.h… CAVEAT LECTER - The Economics department of George Mason University has been strongly shaped by tens of millions of dollars of donations by the libertarian Koch Foundations of the billionaire Koch brothers. Most, if not all, of the staff (23 GMU professors on the Mercatus "Scholars" list 5/16/09) is affiliated with the Koch-financed Mercatus Center, a libertarian pro-corporatist think-tank.

Once is accident - twice is coincidence - three times is ENEMY ACTION! BREAKING: The Jan. 6 select committee says it has obtained evidence that Rep. Alex Butterfield, sorry, Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) led a tour through the Capitol on Jan. 5, 2021 — contradicting earlier denials by GOP lawmakers that any tours occurred that day. ITS always the COVER-UP Never the crime.

[ot][spam][crazy] inhibition efforts: daily behaviors
by Karl Semich 20 May '22

20 May '22

i tried the android app "fabulous" once, it didn't work for me. this seems to be what I need to not trigger avoidance of a behavior: - continued repetition of a baseline to establish a norm - increase the baseline only after it is well-established - a way for me to give feedback on how easily i am able to continue a baseline - if the baseline does not repeat, reduce it to something that can [model: there are different 'states of mind' that can hold different responses around a behavior. the purpose of repetition is to get all of the states of mind on board with the behavior.] that's simple, easy to code something that prompts/reminds this other preferences: - logging - integrated schedule/goal system would be ideal
