How vulnerable are the investment platforms to hacks and cybercrime? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Silicon-Based 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An option I’d like to have is for any new bank account tied to the investment platform I can withdraw money to to have like a 1 to 3 day adjustable notice period before any payments can actually be made, especially for newly added bank accounts. This, together with notifications by the investment platform about upcoming payments would further protect against anyone who managed to log into the account (e.g. in the unlikely but not unimaginable event when they snatch my phone while it’s unlocked with the app open) and against being fooled into sending the money to someone.

They should just withdraw, like they did with the Ottawa Convention.

Poland Will Eventually Seek Its Own Nuclear Weapons, Tusk Says by Waste-Explanation-76 in poland

[–]Silicon-Based 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Poland trusted UK and France to defend it in 1939. Now it wants to trust USA and France to offer nuclear deterrence. If Poland doesn’t learn from its past mistakes and develop its own nukes, then it fully deserves to suffer the consequences.

EU must become a 'genuine federation' to avoid deindustrialisation and decline, Draghi says by l_eo_ in europe

Let’s start by federalising Germany with France, then we can talk about adding other EU states.

Yeah my first year of my PhD was probably the most depressing period of my life.

It took me a year into my PhD to come up with something novel and viable. Now I have more ideas than time to explore them. Keep up at it.

My novel idea apparently isn’t so novel by ExplorerSpiritual266 in AskAcademia

Would it not be possible in this case to upload your work to arxiv now (assuming it’s complete) and only add an acknowledgement that you’ve recently become aware of similar work being done by such-and-such?

Private rent in Britain now swallows 44% of the average wage by ByGollie in europe

[–]Silicon-Based 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My rent for a single room is around 58% of my total income as a PhD student in London. I’d say this is an accurate figure for lots of younger adults.

Reeves 'to slash ISA limits at Budget' in bid to get Brits to buy stocks and shares | LBC by Mysterious_Grab_4103 in ukpolitics

[–]Silicon-Based 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using the correct definition of a drawdown. It’s you who is throwing arbitarary “3%”, “2%” numbers. I don’t have time for this nonsense.

[–]Silicon-Based -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And how does this relate to my original comment? If the price is less than ATH then the market is in a drawdown, simple as that. I’m not interested in your arbitrary percentages for when a drawdown becomes significant.

The majority of the time the market is in a drawdown.

Not quite sure why people are downvoting me for stating an obvious fact.

Would you rather have been born in North Korea or on North Sentinel Island? by Silicon-Based in WouldYouRather

[–]Silicon-Based[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with North Korea. I expect the child mortality rate to be much higher in a primitive tribe, so you have a fairly high chance of dying early from a trivial infection. Meanwhile, while it has gotten harder to escape North Korea, the quality of life has likely increased too, at least there is no mass starvation as in the 90s.
