Public companies have the capability of selling treasury shares, and also diluting all shares and selling the newly minted shares

Public and also closely held companies also have the capability of offering new corporate loans on specific revenue streams

Finally, both public and closely held companies have a greater timeline. They issue 5-10 year loans in a good market and low interest environment, pay low amounts of interest for several years during a bad market, and then issuing new loans in a good market again.

And of course, bankruptcy not affecting the cash finances of any particular person in the company, or that individual's ability to acquire new credit. While the company entity itself takes the temporary reputational hit.
Your comments while I agree with the correctness are incredibly disheartening and demotivating.
Yah. I think the biggest thing for me has been learning that I feel two distinct types of hunger, and also getting more in touch with feeing full/hungry in a way that the rush I get from eating carbs seems to hide.

Overeating without white carbs just feels uncomfortable and I rarely do it. The rush I get from pizza or fries (which I hadn’t identified until I stopped) masks that discomfort.

Emulators are always cool. I've been a Mac guy since Day 1. I had a 128k Mac and a Lisa. The Lisa was required for development, which I did in assembly and Pascal. This is great to see.

Emulators seem usually to have a target app, or a few of them, that are no longer available and are wanted, hence the impetus for the emulator. Game console apps, of course, are motivated by this in spades, as many good games are abandoned, and there's always a nostalgia factor.

I haven't seen such a clear such target app or set of apps mentioned for this project yet. Is this just a nostalgia thing, or is there something this is letting people run that can't be had otherwise? If so, I'm curious what the top contenders are. Are there people dying to actually use Hypercard?
> I just don't understand how people can fail to lose 5% bf.

Depends where you start, getting from 50% to 45% is a whole other story than getting from 10% to 5%.
> The subprime crisis was precipitated by a lot of people taking out mortgages with either blatantly or coerced false income information in their mortgage applications on homes that had inflated values.

Yes but this was exacerbated because it wasn't as many people as what you said seems to suggest.

The investment banks were so highly leveraged on the collateralized debt that it only took 7% of the mortgage holders missing payments at once to bring down the whole financial system.

This suggests that the vast majority of people lying can actually be trusted to make payments, and would prefer to not be shut out of the credit system.
I feel like this article neglects the most important thing, which is sustainability.

I've recently come across the idea of fasting for weight loss. Turns out most people can safely fast (eat nothing, only drink water that is) for many days, sometimes as long as 40 days if they are overweight. Switching to a diet of eating minimally processed food afterwards - which is what we're used to from an evolutionary standpoint - can apparently be quite sustainable.

I'm young and thankfully don't have weight problems, but if I had I think I'd give it a shot.
Is there any major weight loss system that looks at genetics?

According to this article there are a few genes which will alter your success with either any excercise cersus only high intensity exercise, and low carb versus low fat being a better weight loss diet.

The hardest part of dieting is realising that in order to keep it off, you will have to continue like that forever.

In the back of your mind, you want to think that the diet is temporary. Once you have lost the weight, you can go back to eating all the great tasting foods that you ate before.

True success is the acceptance that, no, your life will be worse in very real ways. You will no longer be able to just eat whenever you feel like it. You will no longer be able to eat until you are full, ever again. And you have to accept that this trade-off is worth it.

To me, it's absolutely unclear what the author is actually talking about. Should telcos be responsible for monitoring the devices in their network?

Mobile networks provide Internet access with all the risks associated to the Internet. But the radio access is reasonably secure, if we compare with public WiFi.

I work for a fintech company that is in the business of small/medium business credit and financing, and this is a very surprising thing to hear. My understanding is the majority of our customers are struggling to establish business credit and get decent financing, especially if they haven't been in business long and/or don't have high revenue streams.

Do the companies you mention have decent revenue, even if they also have debt?? Your situation is one many of our customers would love to be in.
Yes, sorry I meant interest rates. Maybe a poor choice of words. I wrote another article years ago positing that once you hit zero on interest rates, it's looking like you may never be able to normalize again (see Japan).

We're at 2.4% (In the US) but that's still too low and the Fed is trapped. They can't go higher, they've paused and depending on what happens over the next while, they may very well have to cut.

So I use the phrase trapped at the zero bound because once you actually touch that bound I think you get stuck there.

It would be more accurate to say that most countries in the New World practice jus soli, while most countries in the Old World do not.

It's kind of funny since I would say the singularity is a result of being bad at estimating exponential growth, since all exponential growth eventually hits some limiting factor and slows down, like a sigmoid.
Same here. Though many mid-size / smaller companies might not advertise this fact (their HR policies are often a bit more ad hoc than larger companies if they haven't been involved in as many labor lawsuits)... but pretty much if there's an HR department, the probationary period exists.
There have been corporate defaults in Asia since 2015-2016. This looks more like a soft landing at this point, unless Powell decides to keep tightening.

The biggest scam the weight loss industry ever pulled on society was to redefine "diet" from "a description of what you eat" to "a temporary modification to what you're eating".

You don't "go on a diet", you HAVE a diet. And if your diet is what is making you fat, then to not be fat, you have to change your diet, permanently.

...and as a UK citizen, the author should have no problem making such a request.
I have a very similar background to you but well on the other side of 30. I grew up around abject poverty, crime, drugs and watched my neighborhood wither and die from them. Living through that didn't inoculate me from making some of those mistakes myself. I struggled and worked like a dog for almost 15 years barely making it before I landed where I am. I've been through hell -- seen misery -- seen death.

Frequently, in this industry, I am told that my whiteness and maleness puts me in the same socio-economic background as others that are white and male. A lot of assumptions get made about me based on how I look. I don't even make nearly as much as my peers, because why should I get a higher offer when I have no degree, right?

It's hard to hear some of the things that get suggested to me by others that are about me. I worry about a deeply simmering anger that I feel about some of it. It's hard not to tell people, whom I know came from an extremely privileged background, about what real misery and suffering and strife in the world is like. I know they cannot handle it. I know it would sink their ship.

And I would quickly be out of a job.

My advice to others of the wrong gender and skin color in this industry who grew up poor: don't tell anyone. Your longevity in this industry depends on your peers thinking that you are just like them. You would be right to see the irony in that.

There was an interesting case recently where the Daesh terrorist Neil Prakash had his Australian citizenship revoked illegally (according to both Australian and International law).

His father had emigrated to Australia from Fiji, met a Cambodian woman and had a child. Father and son eventually became Australian citizens.

In any case, Australia enacted a law recently that allowed them to revoke citizenship of terrorists if they held dual citizenship.

The Australian govt revoked Prakash's citizenship, asserting that he also held Fijian citizenship.

The Fiji govt disputed this, asserting that Prakash was not a Fijian citizen, had never been one, and hadn't so much as stepped foot in Fiji. They said that he had qualified for Fijian citizenship by virtue of being born overseas to a Fiji citizen, but that since his father had never applied for citizenship for his son, it was never granted to him. Fijian citizenship is only granted automatically to children of a Fijian parent born on Fijian soil.

By stripping this Aussie of his citizenship and making him stateless, Australia acted illegally according to both their own laws as well as international law.

Could the economy itself go down? I'm betting it will.

My take is that we currently have bullshit economy, and that the software industry is a big part of that bullshit economy, almost funded entirely by it.

Of course there's a lot of essential software, but if the bubble of bullshit software pops, then the industry as a whole will suffer a lot.
Other people’s money, as they say. But can you spend that money as is on for example a Ferrari? Best bet would be to “invest” in something high risk where you either lose it or make so much you can pay off the loan and still be loaded.
There isn't going to be any more tightening, sorry to say. The yield curve is flat out to 30 years. 5-year breakeven inflation has come down to 1.67%, way below the Fed target. Unless the Democrats rev up government spending again, which they can't until at least 2020, 2.5% is where this cycle peaks. So much for the secular bond bear market: the pattern of ever looser credit cycles remains.
True, the simple fact is you can’t out run your mouth. Exercise is good for other health reasons not for weight loss. In fact if your severely overweight jumping on a treadmill will damage your joints.

Intermittent fasting, and eating diets like unethical vegetarian (meat sometimes) are great for weight loss.

If your going to eat junk, binge, get it out of your system. Try to limit this to rare and appropriate moments. Birthday parties, event dinners.

Don’t feel bad you enjoy food, don’t take it away, just don’t eat junk regularly.

Do low impact cardio like swimming or biking, do low joint stress strength training (yoga or resistance weight training)

Relax, don’t stress, sleep more, eat less ( when your body tells you to eat only not because of the clock).

Relearn thirst vs. hungry. Your probably not hungry, just thirsty most times.

> more anti-Greenpeace videos.

Those videos are about how Greenpeace is anti-GMO and how their rhetoric is harming the developing world. Just because Greenpeace has historically had many positive causes doesn't mean they aren't dead wrong with their stance on GMOs. Their attacks against golden rice and scare tactics around GMO seeds given to third-world nations have undoubtedly killed people.

I also was skeptical about being anti-Greenpeace, but their views on GMOs are just simply anti-science.
