when and where from can I get myself a recycled electronics gold watch / earrings for my lady geek? I feel very confident that this is going to happen, now, but I'm fascinated by the economics of the acquisition of the e-waste, in terms of "ore" density : it's a while since I was marvelling at the sight of the gold pad to pin wires in a ceramic package. Where's the highest quality and concentrations now?
There are potential moral concerns with e-waste recycling. I won’t say it’s more problematic than mining. But many of the same issues with environmental degradation, dangerous work environments and child labor can apply.
you enjoy your annual ex/cum-divi volatility and applying income tax and potentially overseas withholding taxes and exemptions and treaties rules?
the administration and process involved in setting dividends isn't very trivial either
and too often maintenance of dividend payments are placebos for lackadaisical areas of more important management responsibility
and it's too common for factions in the boardroom to be trying to serve and attract entirely different types of investors who would be better served with tracking stocks or demergers and so on
for some people any dividend unsupported by a very clear rationale is a red light but of course if you are doing in depth company analysis you may have all of this covered in your models and settlement and actions systems.
I think the prosecution needs to be put to proof of every charge that's suddenly dropped where the dropped charge is the most appropriate and the charge the accused pleads to whether of their own accord or in bargain. It is absolutely not in the interests of justice to convict on secondary and tertiary charges for the purported purpose of punishment for a different unproven crime that is the crime society wants to deter.
if I may be so bold ( and presumptuous my suggestion is of any value) I wondered if your friend would like the risk and structured securities aspects of actuarial catastrophe risk markets. This pretty much has everything in it, from chaos theory to the statistics of the cadence of liabilities upon the different kinds of financial engineering structure that are used to distribute * the liability and fund the most difficult to reinsure policies in the capital markets.
edit : * and package, according to a tremendous variety of fiscal requirements and risk appetites. And naturally covering the most extreme conditions liability payments is historically a fascinating insight into how we developed our world across and binding together such tenuous links.
Actually he's super into stock options and all that stuff. I think he majored in finance. I was the one who convinced him to do programming (although he's heading towards data science I guess now).
I don't know about today, but 15 years ago when my company held presentations about the value of print advertising that's grossly under bought, (with permission) we'd put everyone's favourite take out Pret sandwich in front of their seats, with the advertising sources on green fanfold line as placemats. We couldn't get better than 50 50 for exact choices but given the advantage of permission to obtain personal information we asked the secretaries with a (disclosed as payment for data) bribe. The line prints did the talking just as raw data - in 05 data mining was too precious for stunts and Xeon hadn't surpassed our ES45 alpha servers for system bandwidth.
my goodness the only thing that I can think of is that people are going to get incredibly angry, if these histories get parsed accurately by the wider public.
I'm not saying the general public, only a wider range of people who are less susceptible to being spun probably is enough of the population to swing the ultimate public views.
If you dig into it a bit, you'll see the claim that Tedros is some sort of manchurian candidate is based on him having given a speech at Peking University and his reiteration of the WHO's support for the One China policy.
This is what the article they cite in support of the One China policy statement actually says:
> In a meeting with Li Bin, minister of China's National Health and Family Planning Commission, Tedros said the UN agency will properly handle the Taiwan-related issues based on the resolutions of the UN General Assembly and the World Health Assembly, the WHO's decision-making body.
I don't understand why it's not a crime to alter or suppress medical information on political grounds in any circumstances other than possibly a absolute necessity for protecting the [vast] majority by some way eg possibly avoiding panic reactions.
Because in the PRC, the government, legislature and military are all officially subordinate to a political organization. The WHO is a treaty organization, effectively above the laws of nations because it is an offshoot of a diplomatic forum.
Whatever you think of the reasons, these are the reasons.
so close... you need to put your car in jabberish (jedi jibberish) command console which will then correctly understand "cool jodi" as "Cool Jedi" and enter mind control mode after which you'll only have to think of calling Jodie and the other phone will be ringing on speaker...
