What if you invested in NASDAQ?
AI says: "Volatility: Sun's stock was significantly more volatile than the general NASDAQ index, with more extreme gains during the bubble and a much steeper, more permanent crash afterward.
Long-Term Trend: While the NASDAQ Composite eventually recovered and reached new all-time highs many years later, Sun Microsystems' stock never fully recovered its peak value and the company was ultimately sold at a fraction of its peak market capitalization. "
What about a wildlife refuge, like Chernyobl turned into without humans around?
Remember when techies used to cite the slogan "only the paranoid survive"?
"Intel cofounder and former CEO Andy Grove really did say "Only the paranoid survive." It became his personal slogan and later the title of his 1996 business book "Only the Paranoid Survive"."
If you are a programmer and you are given clear instructions on what is expected, then yes. If you are a programmer and you are not given clear instructions, then no. However if you are technical lead/architect then you really should be responsible for it.
OTOH if you are a programmer and you raise these concerns then you are on your way to become a technical lead/architect.
In my systems I insist we keep a database table of various common passwords (tens of thousands of these) and we do not allow people using them as well.
What if COLAs became politically popular with people like you? Are you afraid of hurting Volcker's feelings?
Remember how inflation was not a problem for 12 years after 2008, despite mainstream economic predictions?
If inflation is noise, why not use indexation to desl with it? Are you afraid of hurting mainstream economists' feelings?
When in the history of stock markets has there not been "a big problem coming"?
If it wasn't AI, would it be something else, because investors love bubbles? And why would the Fed stand by and let another Great Depression happen when they can just act as a value buyer and end panics?
Why not include stock market gains in revenue? When Democrats call for a wealth tax, aren't they doing so?
According to Reagan should your taxes be much higher right now to pay off the debt he ran up? Why aren't they? Is your story totally unrelated to how insurance and forgiveness and can-kicking work in the actual world?
So when one of them goes off the cliff do they take all the spectators with them? Or does the Fed act as a value buyer and put a safety net under the cliff edge?
Did taxes pay for 2008 and 2020 Fed bailouts?
"Your teeth will get through anything," Mr. Kayll advised. "But it will bloody well hurt."
Speak for yourself, my teeth will barely get through a cheese sandwich at my age.
There's nothing like a good smack to the beitzim to stop a would-be rapist. And there's nothing like biting someone if it's all the leverage you have.
Remember, this is not a video game or a sanctioned fight in a boxing ring. This is your life versus the life of a terrorist or other attacker. Kill or be killed. Learn to fight.
It is like saying: someone will do some work for free, because they like it, lets then make sure that we take away the product of their work, they don't need it anyway. How is that a moral stance, how is it good economically? People feel a certain way if someone tries to steal from them. One thing is to work, even if you don't have to, but to understand that the result of your work is yours. It is a completely different proposition to enslave someone just because they can survive without keeping the results of their work. Practically speaking, if someone sees this type of attitude, they choose a different jurisdiction to do their work, where there won't be such blatant abuse.
I disagree with this approach because I am against theft. Whatever an individual can create for himself is his to do with as he desires, not anyone else. I don't understand this sentiment, is there anything in it except for envy?
