Assets are for practical purposes means and when relatively comfortable retirees draw on SS/401(k)s it is income. There are broadly two choices for the wealthy retirees: 1. cut back on SS and other benefits you can…
The most effective way is likely not broad-based cuts but targeted cuts to old-age spending via means-testing to induce liquidation of 401(k)s or other savings or tangible property to pay for their own care. I feel the…

If they can't implement something as simple as "decode upstream headers and determine if 429/503" I don't know what to say. Since this has knocked out all customers it indicates they likely don't have anything of this…
I find this hard to believe in this context. They should be utilizing load shedding or admission control and killing/rejecting jobs rather than hard failures if it is a scaling issue. It's much more likely an actual…
Cloud procider revenue is generally understood to be highly durable and safe because it is associated with both diversified customers and workloads which are expected to be reasonably constant in aggregate. Zitron's…
I don't quite understand what you mean the narrative here -- cash flow going negative is a fact. Attempts to discuss the COLA issues in 1970s-1980s [1] have failed. Attempts in the early aughts to divert funds by Bush…
Social security is funded through payroll taxes on employees and emloyers. The "run out" is in the sense of the amount of money going out exceeds that coming in and the saved funds have been depleted. In this sense, it…
First I know what next is. Its standard enough. Second, take this for what it is: your product may not be compelling in its current form. Building it to many different markets will not make it compelling. If you had a…
Interesting. Where is this product located? If I'm looking at your profile correctly, this appears to be Openship[1], which is just a collection of starter templates from something from Nextjs and something called…
Having see what terminal vibecoding looks like (to the point where customers say "fix your app" during renewal conversations), I don't think this is likely to happen. There is definitely selection pressure being applied…
Because then the units fall into disrepair (because they no longer make sense to maintain) leading to less supply leading to lower availability of units leading to higher cost of housing. See what happened in NYC…
Also in OFAC compliance. It just comes up in a lot of places where workflows are compliance heavy.
Compensating controls also come up in the context of BSA/AML.
Not really. Social security is a defined benefit plan that requires new payors to fund todays expenses. 401ks are a defined contribution plan. Very different.
This is true in a "yes but" sense. Typically equities of the mega caps benefitted from debt issuance on the expectation it would accelerate growth. The change to equity value loss is what is interesting: the market no…
Sure but people are no longer expecting these kinds of actions to generate equity gains. Before it was expected the growth would outpace the cost of capital, leading to equity appreciation. The directional change is…
Interesting how the market has reacted to this news (down 1.7% after hours)
In practice this is exactly how they work, whether it was intended or not. Otherwise it would look a lot less like a defined benefits plan and more like a defined contribution plan.
> You seem to be quite confused about pensions, not only "old people" have pensions. Actually the vast majority of contributions to pensions funds come from people who aren't old at all and are actively employed. This…
Blockbuster actually did try to beat everyone to streaming. Notably, Blockbuster and Enron [1] entered into a 20-year partnership for online video delivery. Sears was a different story, in that they were a real estate…
Not necessarily. Unions are typically organized as a not-for-profit. The legislation acts on all entities including unions.
> It's a privilege to come into this country, its a privilege to live in Sydney. If you don't like it, you can leave. I hate to put it like this, but that's exactly what the poster is doing.
if it's judged only by the time it is expected to be in use (work hours), reliability is likely even worse than the 24/7 measure.
Likely a combination of business-friendly policies (low tax, no employer payroll tax, etc.) and proximity to ports. Houston is the 6th [1] largest port in the USA. [1]…
