So I’m going to settle for this person and move on with life. We are all constantly making decisions that maximize our expected utility. You are, in fact, doing this as we speak; at some level, you’re asking yourself if you would be happier if you continued reading this book than you would be if you put it down and did something else. Notice that I said you are maximizing your expected utility. This is because you have to make some choices when you are uncertain about how they will pay off.
As the first translation of any biblical literature, the translation that became the Septuagint was an unparalleled event in the ancient world. This translation was made possible by a common Mediterranean culture where Semitism had been foundational to Greek culture. In the Talmud, Greek is the only language officially allowed for translation. The Targum Onkelos is the Aramaic translation of the Hebrew Bible believed to have been written in the second century CE.

Barely touched upon economics concepts, and kinda tries to fit online dating experiences into these models and concepts to draw conclusions. The conclusions do make sense, even if they seem presumptuous. But, at the end of the day, how much did I learn about economics? I dropped it a chapter in, and returned to slog through and finish it a few months later, and though it did pick up in explaining concepts in a more engaging manner, the original problem of it being too light on both subjects still stood. So, a decent book, good to kill time and pick up some basic, layman’s version of pop-economics.
About the author (
(I’d throw Freakonomics into this genre too.) Or is that a creation that would make economists cringe? If such a genre exists, Paul Oyer’s book would fit nicely. Oyer uses online dating as a framework to explain basic economic principles in an accessible and sometimes fun way. For all online daters—and for anyone else swimming in the vast sea of the information economy—this book uses Oyer’s own experiences, and those of millions of others, to help you navigate the key economic concepts that drive the modern age. I thought I knew a lot about online dating and a lot about economics, too. But after reading this book, I now know a lot more about both .
Copies of some texts later declared apocryphal are also among the Qumran texts. Ancient manuscripts of the book of Sirach, the «Psalms of Joshua», Tobit, and the Epistle of Jeremiah are now known to have existed in a Hebrew version. The Septuagint version of some biblical books, such as the Book of Daniel and Book of Esther, are longer than those in the Jewish canon. In the Septuagint, Jeremiah is shorter than in the Masoretic text, but a shortened Hebrew Jeremiah has been found at Qumran in cave 4.
Facebook exposes personal data, without supporting open standards for data interchange. According to several communities and authors closed social networking, on the other hand, promotes data retrieval from other people while not exposing one’s personal information. Facebook is a Big Tech company with over 2.7 billion monthly active users as of the second quarter of 2020 and therefore has a meaningful impact on the masses that use it. Big data algorithms are used in personalized content creation and automatization; however, this method can be used to manipulate users in various ways. The problem of misinformation is exacerbated by the educational bubble, users’ critical thinking ability and news culture. Based on a 2015 study, 62.5% of the Facebook users are oblivious to any curation of their News Feed.
If I have a satisfying long-term relationship, or even a good first date, that makes me happy—it increases my utility. So I spend time on OkCupid in the hope that I will meet someone who will someday increase my utility. The more of those things I accomplish today, the happier Squirt I will be when I go to sleep tonight. In economist terms, doing more of those things (and, if I’m lucky, having some other unexpected good things happen) will make my utility higher when I go to bed tonight. As I go through my day, I’m making thousands of little decisions.
Rai Bashir told AFP that «We moved the petition in the wake of widespread resentment in the Muslim community against the Facebook contents». The petition called on the government of Pakistan to lodge a strong protest with the owners of Facebook, he added. Bashir said a PTA official told the judge his organization had blocked the page, but the court ordered a total ban on the site. People demonstrated outside court in the eastern city of Lahore, Pakistan, carrying banners condemning Facebook. Protests in Pakistan on a larger scale took place after the ban and widespread news of that objectionable page. The ban was lifted on May 31 after Facebook reportedly assured the Lahore High Court that it would remedy the issues in dispute.

But there are just times when a switch in my brain is randomly turned on. Setting the right price for handmade crafts can be hard, and it depends on a lot of different things. Some of these are economic factors, trends, and the cost of materials. But there are some ways you can price your products in a fair way. First, you should figure out how much one of your products costs you to make and compare that to how much similar products sell for in retail stores.
Because the canon of Scripture is distinct for Jews, Orthodox Christians, Roman Catholics, and Protestants, the contents of each community’s Apocrypha are unique, as is its usage of the term. For Jews, none of the apocryphal books are considered canonical. Catholics refer to this collection as «Deuterocanonical books» and the Orthodox Church refers to them as «Anagignoskomena» . A Christian Bible is a set of books divided into the Old and New Testament that a Christian denomination has, at some point in their past or present, regarded as divinely inspired scripture.
