I'm sure you are doing everything for him, and I've ran into an autism scare for 7-8 months with my daughter and I've read quite a lot(intervention options and books for parents). Anyway, the guy hosting a 3 day course&#x2F

In Romania you can choose a maternal/paternal leave of up to 2 years, during which you are still employed by the same employer -- you are payed by the state a percentage of your previous income, but you are still employed. No need to e

The FED turned into a paper-clip maximizing machine by now. If you only cared about nominal employment you could hand everybody shovels instead of excavators and you can employ 100 guys with shovels instead of a guy with an excavator.

This reminds me about disciplining your children -- if you allow for such arguments "now is not the right time" -- you will end up with spoiled children, because it is never the right time, discipline, be it financial discipline s

Nobody really knows, or they would be rich. Warren Buffet seems to hold cash in expectation for the next crash, but the last crash proved he can get access to much better deals than you and I can, so it doesn't mean you should hold cas

There won't be any catching up by the real economy, just as the 2008 QE proved, because people are willing to enslave themselves in debt with college debt, mortgage payments or huge rent while having less sex than ever, not starting fa

All the other central banks are doing the same. The financial scheme does not trickle money in the real economy, people are having less children, all the money printing is doing is it is creating asset bubbles, enslaving the people willing

Especially if you buy high-yield bonds with those borrowed money knowing the rating agencies are a joke and the people issuing the bonds hold the central banks hostage, lest their default tanks the economy. Or use the money to buy back stoc

"overnight" -- yeah, right, as if you cannot make another, and another "overnight" loan in perpetuity if you are a big player.

The root cause is low interest rates, people being able to issue junk, high interest bonds at AAA ratings, and the FED being willing to exchange dollars for those bonds. The FED is replacing the regular markets providing properly priced liq

There is no dollar shortage, there is a shortage of suckers wanting to hold their dollars in regular bank accounts due to low interest rates. As long as the the FED is willing to provide liquidity no questions asked, why would you hold doll

That should be controlled against simply repeating the test and simply giving "normal" people adderal during iq testing.

That's just a bit like saying when drug prices are so low it's ok to have a lot of overdoses, because, hey, people are taking advantage of those low drug prices. If we entered a new era where such low interest rates are necessary

I'd be concerned if the idiots taking decisions and crashing the financial system when interest rates were at 5% were not severly punished and let loose when interest rates were at 0%, almost like an arsonist being put in charge of a g

10T is a huge number, but that's not the issue -- the issue is that as a percentage of GDB that's also at an all times high value. It is like 2008 in the sense that a bubble popping (corporate debt this time) is forcing the FED to

Where was corporate debt, as percentage of GDP 10 years ago? Has that ratio changed in the recent past? nevermind -- I looked it up and it's at all time high.

As a layman, it makes me wonder what a hologram within a hologram within a hologram can explain.

Would raising children in Africa fit "modern standards"? The guys story seems fictitious at best and there is no chance he actually had sex with two women a day and impregnated one woman a day. The random chanches of conception

Women have started having children throughout the aeons at a very early age. It is onĺy in the last 80.000 years that humans have made the conscious connection between sex and having children. Womens fertilty declines sharply in their 30&

But the "desire to have kids" is such and abstract and complex issue; nature already has it figured for us, we have the desire to have sex, to nurture and to like kids is secondary. It would be impossible for nature to evolve such

You mean volutarily stop doing it or banning contraceptives? If it's the first, there's absolutely no way that would happen, if it's the latter, what's next, we ban abortions, women working, force people to marry, we ban

But it's not the human species that's at risk(except for some world-ending catastrophe that we cause), it is the modern world ending that is at risk.

by raducu 7y ago
Of course it's rational, and I don't think anybody suggests we ban contraceptives, but the fact is having children was never a rational choice(except for treating children as pension funds), children were just a byproduct of sex b

There's always the option that we will die off, that we are experiencing a great filter. Perhaps we have changed our environment in such a great way that it is impossible to avoid it? We have the(correct) climate change narrative that

I could only exploit this for my own account, and there are only money involved, if it was human lives at stake, I would not have worked at anything else until the issue was fixed. The bug that lead to me discovering the security issue was

I don't have any ill feelings against the bank or the management, it's just a stupid setup where the local prophet gets ignored, we are swamped with bugs, new business features, new regulatory features, outdated devops, a lot of t

Isn't it funny how most governments become less brutal as the technology and knowledge to influence and manipulate people becomes available to said governments. Not to sound too bleak, the flipside to this is that technology also enabl

Yes, that's what I thought as well.I'll just have to suck it up until the test environments are up again and provide a proof of concept exploit. I'm just impatient because it's a really clever and somewhat complex hack t

I work as a contractor for a bank. A few months ago everybody was up in arms about a "major" security issue discovered by an auditor (you could see the settings of random users by changing an id in a url). I've just shown t
