Seems like China will do as well as the US lets it. It has little domestic consumption and is reliant on exports to the US. Maybe China will have strong consumers in the future but then it'll have to ensure it can compete with US wages

For all the drama in US Politics, you have to admit they run extremely well economically. Quick to keep rates high, good forecasting, good trade policies, good energy policies. Europe is like a kid copying the US homework, trying to make th

Are gold and crypto correlated? Both seem to be rising on rate cut prospects but not sure how proven the theory is.

Lots of odd changes going on in cities right now. Offices being converted to hotels and flats in an attempt to return to profitability. Retail spaces are being turned into "experiences" with climbing walls, gyms and golf ranges ta

The Michelle Mone story is insane. Her husband sold illegal tax schemes to IT contractors and escaped without serious repercussions. UK government is outsourcing everything and it's not just Infosys. They set low salary levels and floo

London just seems to be getting busier again. Trains are busy in the morning, lots of people out and about, restaurants full, and recruiters are starting to ping again on LinkedIn. Given it's been at a low ebb since the pandemic, there

UK feels like it's been in recession for years. London seems to be improving though so hopefully it lifts the rest of the country.

I think people just love listening to advice and will consume it indefinitely as it "feels" useful. Talking to users seems easy but where do you find them, will they talk to you, will you be ok if they tell you to f-off. Most user

Oracle also lets you run Java from stored procedures which I’m sure lets you tie yourself in knots too. There could be slim use cases for doing everything in the db but there’s a reason why it’s not widespread.

You've got to admit, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Eastern countries with more direct government intervention, strong-arm leaders like Modi, Winnie the poo vs waning Western powers. China didn't bail out its

I don't think that the Chinese are forced to buy property because of the perceived shakiness of the stock market. Rather it's a cultural norm that's embedded itself in their psyche. Also, I disagree that using houses as your

I wonder how much of the world's growth is squeezed by these kinds of inefficiencies. Property speculation keeps prices high, and people paying off mortgages in dead-end jobs. Education costs force parents into difficult decisions to m

Austerity also causes increases in asset prices. The UK property market is a good example so I'm not sure your point holds.

I've heard some horror stories from HMCTS (part of MOJ) and the Home Office. While there might be some good intentions, buying a vendor product is often better for large organisations rather than running their warehouses, ETL and Datab

Spinning out the "tech elites" trope is a bit of a jaded argument (and you're commenting on a tech forum?). My experience of Ireland is outside of Dublin which seems to be where you've formed your negative framing of the

While it’s a nice thought experiment, I find it hard to dismiss centuries of culture as a bubble. The idea that history is meaningless is dangerous.

I don't live there or share the viewpoint. I picked it up from people I know who live there now and how their attitudes have changed. While it might be pan-European, the sentiment in Dublin is certainly new. People seem... fed up. Now

I was back in Dublin lately and got the same feeling. Everyone talking about immigration, unfair housing and poverty. It's gone from being a friendly place to a suspicious one in a handful of years.

Ours took a major nose dive after PE got involved (Grandir), and literally became a dangerous place for kids. Got shut down for a week, unexplained injuries etc. All while forcing parents to pay super high rates due to lack of options.

Yeah, I always thought that private school was the big financial pain but it is definitely nursery costs which are the most insane. My local nursery is also owned by Private Equity and was just rated inadequate by Ofsted due to high staff t

$700 per month. Those are rookie numbers. Come to the UK where childcare is £2k per month. The UK system gives mediocre benefits and also penalises you if one of you makes >100k a year.
