  • My brother or sister, invest in index funds, not the stock market. And then forget about it for 30 years or more until you retire. And then, if you invest in index funds, there will be ups and downs.

    The trick is to stay the course because it has been proven that the price will always go up from when you started investing. And then, in 30 years or more, you will have a substantial amount of money for retirement.

  • Rationally speaking, the whole purpose of sanctions is to sanction the whole population of the country in order to get the government of the country to change it's policies. And when it comes to sanctions, companies and entities doing business with the sanctioned countries are themselves sanctioned. So Linus had no choice but to remove the Russian contributors.

    We're talking about a real situation, not about what would be better.

  • This practice is really a banana republic practice. It's like handing out cash in party flyers in corrupted banana republics.

  • The new o1-preview model gave me much better and more precise answers than the 4o model.

  • Not necessarily. In Canada, an independent advisory board reviews applications and provides a shortlist of candidates. The Prime Minister selects a nominee from this list. The nominee may participate in a public hearing before being officially appointed.

    That is why it has not been a partisan issue so far.

  • “Member states cannot continue the race to the bottom corporate tax policies that undermine European unity and social cohesion. Big tech companies like Apple should not be able to exploit their market power and avoid paying their fair share to society,” said EU MEP Kira Peter-Hansen.

    Good.

  • New panic alarm system at Georgia H.S. saved lives during shooting, officials say. Advocates want it nationwide.

    Jump

  • As a Canadian, I find it very sad that schools have to resort to panic alarm systems as if they were living in a Mad Max movie without a government.

  • China says it is ending foreign adoptions, prompting concern from US

    Jump

  • China is unique. The one-child policy has only recently been lifted, and the government is actively encouraging the population to have more children. The problem is that because of economic hardship and because this policy has changed the family culture in China, parents still do not want to have multiple children.

  • I think the professor himself is fed up with the situation, because as a researcher he is forced to publish his articles to for-profit publishers, who are basically the mafia gatekeepers, who profit from information that should be open to everyone. And the university profits from this lucrative business.

    This Youtube video will open your eyes to this business: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKiBlGDfRU8

  • Taliban bans the sound of women’s voices singing or reading in public

  • Yes. I'm talking about the Talibans' sick and perverse mind. The Talibans do not view women as human beings.

  • For the Taliban, women are sexual slaves whose sole purpose is to be baby making machines: they're not human beings.
