    How to set SD card as default storage for all files, but not for the apps themselves?

    Please do not misunderstand my question. I do not want to make my SD card adoptable storage. I want all my apps to be installed to my internal storage. But I want all media files downloaded by all my apps as well as the photos and recordings I make be installed on the SD card. Internal memory...

    The Party Organizer Problem - An Economics problem

    Yeah, then again, people talk. Especially now when it is so easy to communicate instantly and across distances, so that probably doesn't work anymore :/

    The Party Organizer Problem - An Economics problem

    It very much is an Econ problem :) It has to do with incentives and information, and how to optimize people's preferences of going to a party :)

    The Party Organizer Problem - An Economics problem

    Sound like good friends then. This is of course how it should be :P But how old are you? Like I said, I believe this has worsened since cell phones and the internet. So if you were a young adult before then, your social life will be different. Also, some people have very tight groups of...

    The Party Organizer Problem - An Economics problem

    Oddly enough, this works counter to what you want to achieve. Take facebook, they have an excellent event organizer. You can register your interest, or you can click "going" or "decline", or the most popular; people just don't make a choice. In this system, it is very transparent who and how...

    The Party Organizer Problem - An Economics problem

    Of course, The Prisoner's Dilemma is similar :) Unfortunately, I don't see a solution to this problem.

    The Party Organizer Problem - An Economics problem

    Hi, I am interested in this particular Economics problem. I was hoping that some of you can tell me whether it has a name, and if there is a solution. So all economists are encouraged to reply :) It goes like this: You invite people to your party. People want to go, but only if many other...

    Organ donation: opt in or opt out?

    Yeah, it should be opt-in, but made really easy, as already stated. I like the US system. On every driver's license there is a an area that you can sign. If you sign it, you are an organ donor in case of your death.

    I don't know that so many people are trying to predict the next 3-5 years, at least not in this thread. At work, can't write more...

    Just read your post Integral. Maybe I'll comment tomorrow (it's almost bed time), or maybe not, I forgot how much of a time-waste this is. But really, Peter Schiff! He is the guy who pretty accurately predicted the recent financial crises. Youtube him. There's clips of him with all these better...

    I've been at work til 5, commuting home, working out, eating, showering, looking up some scholarships and preparing budgets to include in my application and then finally catching up with the thread, hence the late reply. BTW, it has taken me quite some time to read and reply to threads I`m...

    And me (or I? Grammar kings, step up :P), so no, I wouldn`t. I don`t see why it has to either extreme though. You know, minute-by-minute or "They hold X persuasion - they suck, nuff said". Cutlass, you can take your arrogant tone elsewhere, I won`t respond to your post. Also, you apparently...

    Social security could easily be fixed this way: Homie - Politicans, stop using social security money for whatever you want!! Set aside the money we pay into social security (in a place where it yields interest) and give it back to us when we retire. It`s that easy. Just use the system for what...

    I don`t care if they are funded by gold hawks, Obama, The Pope or Islamic Jihadists. If they are making a statement that is wrong it can be debunked either because it is factually incorrect or illogical. All you need to do is point that out. If they are not making a statement that is wrong, then...

    Frederic Bastiat. Greatest economic/political mind of all time?

    What are you talking about? Comparative advantage still works. One people/group/nation/culture can have certain skills that others lack (or are worse at) and vice versa. Also, different countries have different natural resources. So these nations would still benefit from trade as seen by the...

    Frederic Bastiat. Greatest economic/political mind of all time?

    Of course they are. Unless your a Historicist (German branch of economics that has died out a long time ago) you know that economic principles span time and cultures. Economic principles don`t change, even though economic conditions do.

    Frederic Bastiat. Greatest economic/political mind of all time?

    B - He's unrightfully not famous. Also there is a greater chance that you heard of him if you studied economics, as he is more of an economic thinker. I just think economics and political science are so interrelated that economic/political mind is a fair description.

    Frederic Bastiat. Greatest economic/political mind of all time?

    I don`t know if he is, but he is certainly up there. More importantly, I believe he deserves the title because he communicates his ideas so perfectly. You could be completely unschooled on economics and still understand everything he has to say with ease. He uses examples that are timeless, and...

    I watched the entire thing. I agree with pretty much everything, except how they portray that former big US industries are dead as a bad thing. As long as a country is producing real value it doesn`t matter if it is through manufacturing of TVs, farming or through design, services or other less...
