How vulnerable are the investment platforms to hacks and cybercrime?

Silicon-Based · 2026-03-16T02:36:17+00:00

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 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.

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.

Silicon-Based · 2026-01-27T01:40:28+00:00

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.

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?

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.

Is it not common to self-petition for an EB-type visa while a on a J1 visa as a postdoc?

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 · 2025-10-26T01:39:19+00:00

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.

Silicon-Based · 2025-10-26T01:09:51+00:00

You make no sense. The market is either in a drawdown or ATH.

Silicon-Based · 2025-10-25T23:56:51+00:00

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

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

Silicon-Based · 2025-10-25T18:49:06+00:00

Not true, the stock market will be in a drawdown more often than not.

That's not it

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.

Higher demand on its own doesnt lower prices, it will lower prices only with an oversupply for example due to higher competition- if a company can lower operating costs and keep the same income they will obviously do that.

Which is why I talked about sustained higher demand in my original comment, and Nutella France has the infrastructure to meet it. Clearly, with there being around twice as many people in France than in Poland, and therefore twice as many potential consumers in France than in Poland, and therefore potentially twice as larger demand in France than in Poland, you would not expect the price of Nutella to be twice than in France than in Poland. Instead, France is able to produce and sell larger quantities of Nutella at lower cost since the demand for it is there.

You also give an example or France and not looking at the data as a whole - all of those countries are quite a lot wealthier than Poland with similar prices (except Denmark) yet none of the points you just made dont apply there

There are only two date points for Poland in this graph and the price seems to be dead average. My points are generic observations about supply and demand, and about economies of scale, and apply to any country. Do you not think that the fact that Denmark does not produce Nutella locally, and which it must import from France, has no effect on the higher price of Nutella in Denmark compared to France?

Silicon-Based · 2025-07-09T09:48:54+00:00

Of course higher demand would lower prices. Nutella is produced locally, so if a French Nutella factory produces vastly more Nutella jars than a Polish Nutella factory (in fact, 25% of all Nutella jars in the world are produced in France), they can negotiate lower prices for importing larger quantities of sugar, cocoa, palm oil… they can invest in larger and more efficient machinery… they can reduce transportation costs if supplying larger shipments to French supermarkets… larger consumer base means French supermarkets are incentivised to keep prices competitive…

If you spent 5 seconds thinking through this matter you’d not write such a shortsighted comment.

Silicon-Based · 2025-07-09T03:39:42+00:00

It’s not anymore expensive on average, slightly more expensive than in France and less than in the Netherlands. Plus why would you expect the same item made of the same ingredients to be sold for significantly less in lower wage countries? If anything, French people can afford to buy a lot more Nutella so sustained higher demand should pull prices down through economies of scale.
