"Fisheries continue to be among the best examples of the tragedy of the commons... Whether or not property rights in ecological resources are the solution to every environmental problem, they are in the case of fisheries."

ITQs make a lot of sense. The link to property rights is pretty tenuous though.

mTw's game one picks were very odd. They went for a poke/heal comp when LgN already had Amumu and Ashe for hard initiation and a pick open.

Sunfire Shaco was so rage-inducing. Clone doubled his Sunfire Cape damage and all that HP and armor made him impossible to kill.

I don't have the source (it was an interview with the game designer on youtube), but the reason for the six-ability limit is because 7 was too much in testing. People could have all the skills they really wanted with 7 skill slots. 6 forces some interesting trade-offs.

The reason they went with this skill design is because they tried allowing respecs (due to popular demand) with a "classic" skill system, and found people would just respec and dump all the points into the skills they wanted. That's basically this current system, but the current system is a lot cleaner.

Pobelter burning ult on Ahri in mid lane while Dynamic was baiting Baron with the bottom inhibitor down really put a nail into Curse's coffin. They were probably going to lose anyway, but after that move they had no chance to win.

The reference is to Marisa Kirisame, a character in Touhou. Her title in some of the games is "Ordinary Magician".

Marisa's Final Spark spellcard is also the inspiration for Lux's ult:

I agree, but in the case of roads, what advantage is there to having a government-regulated "private" company vs. just having the government do it?

joshuahedlund · 4 days

Private roads suffers from lots of market failures. There are both positive and negative externalities and roads are natural monopolies (you usually don't want two highways/bridges/tunnels side by side).

I think there's some evidence that Fannie and Freddie were not the drivers of the recession. Barry Ritholtz has posted a bunch of articles on this topic on his blog, by him and by others. Here's a few(out of the many) I found pretty quickly:

It's too bad the thread is gone on github, the meme pictures there were hilarious.

I think Bill Belichick once said something along the lines of "There will be around 10 teams that will consistently contend for the playoffs - build your team to beat those teams". I guess it's worked pretty well for him so far...

If anyone could find a source (and possibly confirm whether Belichick was actually the person who said this), I'd be eternally grateful :).

It'll depend a lot on the rest of the offense, too. We lost Shockey and Travelle Wharton, and those could be important parts of the offense around Cam. Some of the WRs will need to step up.

Well, I don't mean upgrading your non-gaming computer into a gaming computer. I'm talking about someone who needs a computer and is deciding between a gaming computer and a non-gaming computer.

You're right though, if someone doesn't need a new computer, then maybe you can look at the full cost. But even that's misleading since now you have two computers.

zakislam · 5 days

How much does your non-gaming computer cost? You shouldn't include that in the cost of your gaming computer; you should only be counting the additional expense of turning a non-gaming computer into a gaming computer.

IIRC, monster damage doesn't scale with additional players. Each additional player only adds +75% monster life.

If you're going to target board game players, you might want to a) talk about how this game plays, and b) put this on BoardGameGeek.

People who formerly enjoyed the "spawn" feature so that they could temporarily play a game with their friends without all having to own a copy of the game. Now the barrier to playing this game with your friends approaches $300.

$300? Can you explain that please?
