@a10ciod because at some point, your money will go into his pocket. He'll start you off with some small wins, and then quickly escalate to big losses with the occasional big win to keep you in the game, until he's emptied you out

If I was going to write a history of hard currency, I'd call it "On the Origin of Specie"

@ahorn Didn't China effectively manage its exchange rates that way? It didn't have declared change-rate limits, but wasn't that how it managed it in practice? I think several countries have done this in practice - even if they haven't been upfront about what they were doing. And then there's the Tobin Tax, which has a similar objective, through a completely different mechanism.

Actually, maybe I should go do a couple of extra web searches on the unanswered questions I've posted. Just to be sure, like.

@Borror0 Also, to address this -- I think what we're seeing is a lot of armchair economists from, oh, our non-fiat monetary system enthusiast site.

@DiegoJancic It's a genuine question, and I'm genuinely interested in the answer. What in the email leads you to the conclusion "asking questions that are beyond your knowledge are always valid"? I'm interested, because I don't see how to get that from the email; but this is a subject you think about, and it's important to you, and you did come to that conclusion.

@Turukawa Ah, governments and voters, now there's a very thorny issue. As we're in the domain of what have been called Wicked Problems, I personally see a politician's role as signpost rather than weather-vane. It would appear that most politicians disagree ...

I'm a liberal freemarketeer to my purple boots, but I don't believe that a market can price a good that isn't actually sold. Even so, was curious to know whether it is even theoretically possible for a negative commons to be responded to through an ad-hoc market mechanism.

right, am in ... my query was stimulated by a view posted on Youtube (youtube.com/watch?v=CZ-4gnNz0vc&feature=player_embedded) where a patronising bloke declares "The free market will solve the problem of global warming."

Q: Mutliple bounty contributions on one question at the same time?

I like @EnergyNumbers question and bounty offer and thought I'd top it up to make it even more of a bonus, but then discovered that it appears only one bounty can be offered. As a general question (and potentially one that should go to sys-admins) would a collaborative bounty not be worthwhile? ...

Q: how many data questions are reasonable

Following on from this meta question: How to handle questions about data? I'd like to ask how many questions requesting sources of data do we consider to be acceptable? We've had one general question already, that's been thoroughly answered: What are the most useful sources of economics data?

@FeralOink Hmm, interesting. Working from the rule of thumb that at times of real crisis, almost all correlations go to 1, perhaps almost all counterparties are wrong-way risk when things get really really bad. Just musing, I could be very wrong on that.

@EnergyNumbers may be hard for now, but it is absolutely what I think the site should strive for. At the very least, just having many of these truly expert hard questions on the site could discourage some wannabes from posting their econ 101 type questions.

Q: Is having a quick look at current research trends in economics a fair way to decide whether something is off-topic?

Since there seems to be a lot of confusion about what is a legitimate question on this forum and what is not, let me make a suggestion about how to make up our minds. If there is a question, for example on the Revelation Principle, or Voting Theory, or Structural Models, and you don't know what ...

Stack Overflow Blog: Stack Exchange API Usage Stats and API 2.0 Plans

Posted by Jeff Atwood on September 29th, 2011

Stack Exchange has a very full featured, albeit currently read-only, API. You can view some of the nifty applications people have created with the Stack Exchange API in the app gallery on Stack Apps, or check out the winners of the Stack Exchange API contest we held last year.

We’re currently in the planning stages for Stack Exchange API 2.0. There’s a draft API 2.0 specification on Stack Apps, so head on over there and take a look if you want a voice in that process.

As a part of our research process leading up to 2.0, we analyzed usage statistics of the API to date. For the period …
