I don't think we are approaching the total death toll of World War II. Unless you mean only US casualties which were relatively small compared to other nations as US entered war very late when it was already decided (Soviet Union has a

This is uncalled for. Lot of exercises cannot be done at home without required equipment unless you are a Hollywood actor and have a huge mansion with private gym and equipment. Think of weight lifting, power lifting etc. Impossible to do a

Solution in search of a problem. What you are suggesting is not a realistic business model and would result in another ever money losing startup.

The hacker could have puts on Twitter as well. The Bitcoin scam might be just a cover / distraction so it looks like an unsophisticated hacker while the real money might be made with options contracts.

Not all stocks are up. Indexes are mostly up because of crazy high tech valuations and tech stocks just keep going up parabolically. Banks, industrials, materials, energy stocks are still very cheap, barely recovered from March lows in many

There was a decline for sure, here in London I noticed hiring has almost completely stopped for 2-3 months during the lockdown. Now it's starting to pick up again from my observation but it might take long time before job market is bac

It's a very good point. I live in central London and had a very short commute to my office and I enjoyed coming to office most of the time. Now during the lockdown I am stuck working from my small studio apartment which is just not sui

Vast majority of people who contract the virus just have mild cold or flu symptoms. Very small percentage of infected people end up going to hospitals.

This is my personal opinion and I could be 100% wrong. But I think this is no worse than crazy cow disease or Zika virus or SARS. Media, as always, cares about clicks and will publish sensational articles. In China the virus has peaked and

Personally, I don’t think the major move happening right now is from gasoline cars to EVs. The major move is from cars to no cars. Tesla will not be a great trillion dollar company in this scenario. It will be just another car manufacturer.

There are ETFs that don't invest in fossil fuel companies. You can invest in these ETFs to get broad market exposure minus fossil fuel companies.

I think nobody would say I made $70k after rent last year. But net salary is what people often mention or look at when considering offers. So, my net salary / take home pay is $X is what is normally talked about between people etc.

You would need to start looking for a job before you hit 0 though as it might take few months to find a job and have income again. So 60k I would say can stretch to 2 years if you can keep your budget of spending just 2k per month. Once you

I’d do the complete opposite. Instead of using mapping and filters I’d prefer for loops.

The new UI is worse compared to the old one. I agree completely, no idea why this change is being pushed as it worsens experience a lot. Similar to Reddit mobile website.

I am a contractor living in London, UK. Here contracts in IT/development are always based on daily rates. Time put in by contractors is not being verified other than number of days you put into the timesheet matches number of days you

How do you read comment starting with "In my personal experience" and respond with "Please don’t state your opinion as gospel truth.". Wtf?

Gold is able to support entire global GDP and also growth. It all depends on the price. With current gold price a return to gold standard would be a disaster and would bring on the greatest recession of our lifetimes. But at about 10k price

Just to clarify. I come from a background where buying a fresh new BMW or Mercedes or Audi from the factory (latest model) is something rich people do. Middle class can not afford that.

You could have asked the same question when last Great Recession was unfolding and Lehman was going under. I believe that central banks will find a way to prevent a really bad scenario from happening.

It’s a very risky bet for sure. But there is a very small possibility central banks will go back to gold standard to instil confidence during a Great Recession when markets fall by 50+% in a very short time.

My bet is on 10k gold after next recession. I guess I’m a gold bug. But it’s still only 10% of my portfolio so I’m well diversified imho

If you look at the graphs, gold stayed kind of flat during the heights of last 2 recessions but it had a rally 1-2 year after last 2 recessions.

I bought some gold today. Unrelated to this but I have recently decided to have 10% of my portfolio in gold as a safe guard.

Maybe I’m from a background where 45k for a car seems like a rich people thing. That’s how I feel
