Daniel Kahneman: The Trouble with Confidence
DANIEL KAHNEMAN
In his presentation, Kahneman discusses the problem with brash thinkers. Society avoids truth about uncertainty and rewards overconfidence. This ideology allows for fueled conflict and tension-ridden issues. Kahneman argues that two biases are at work: illusion and optimism. Young entrepreneurs do not know the odds that they are likely to fail, and proceed to enter into the field with optimism. This optimism may encourage perseverance, but it hinders strategic decision making.
Vino paraguayo en 1620
"El vino procedente del Paraguay tenía en Buenos Aires, todavía en 1620, un precio superior al que introducía de Chile y de Córdoba".
Y ese mismo producto, así como otros no menos apreciables, se exportaba a las poblaciones del interior. Santa Fe era el punto intermedio del comercio asunceno con las ciudades de occidente: "es puerto de muchas mercaderías, escribía el tesorero Montalvo, que vienen de la Gobernación de Tucumán para subir de ally a la ciudad de la Asunción y de ally bajan otros muchos a Santa Fe de azúcares y confituras y diacitriones y diversidad de conservas y vinos y otras cosas para los llevar a la gobernación del Tucumán y al Perú" (*)
A pocos días de fundada Buenos Aires, despachábanse también para España en una carabela una buena partida de productos análogos, procedentes de la Asunción" (**)

Safe purchased online holds $26,000
(WMC-TV) - UPDATE: The seller has added a new comment to his feedback page claiming that the buyer never found any money:
"He was playing a practical joke the safe was empty there wasnt any money in it."
A Bartlett man found thousands of dollars inside an item he bought on eBay.
James Labrecque sold an old safe on eBay for $122.93.
"I made a mistake, you know, that's what it boils down to," said Labrecque. "And it cost me dearly."
Labrecque, an eBay user for more than 15 years, said he did not have the combination to the safe and believed it to be just another item to turn around.
"I thought it was empty," he said. "I shook it and I didn't feel anything inside of it, so I figured, well, maybe it's just a locked safe, you know. So I put it on eBay."
Labrecque lives in California. The person who bought the safe lives in Bartlett. Upon receipt, the buyer brought the safe to a welder, who cut it open.
Inside the safe was $26,000 in cash.
The buyer gave Labrecque a positive review and shared the news.
"I feel like the stupidest idiot in the world," said Labrecque. "I told my friend, I won the stupidest idiot in the world award the other day, you know. I gave away a safe with $26,000 in it."
In a contentious e-mail chain Labrecque provided to Action News 5, he asked for a cut of the cash. The buyer declined, citing Labrecque's seller policy that states, "What you see is what you get, no returns, and no money back."
Labrecque said this is different.
"That's a chunk of change, you know. That's life-altering money," he said. "I mean, if I was in that situation and I found that kind of money and I bought it from someone, I'd say, 'Here man, I found this money. I'll give you half of it.'"
Action News 5 tried to track down the buyer, but has not yet made contact.
