BLS reports will typically get revised but this could be an indicator for full employment. Yes, the stock market is at all time highs - this is a common occurrence if you take a look at historical charts. However, the stock market != economy.
I should state that I'm only comparing the largest banks in terms of security. I have bank accounts both in the UK and the US. 2FA has only been recently (3-4 years?) introduced in the US and chip and pin has been in the EU for years now.
What most people in this thread are talking about is retail banking. Retail banking in the US lags far behind the EU in terms in technology and security. However, retail banking is only accounts for about 25% of total profits when compared to commercial and investment banking. This is where US banks have consistently beaten the competition. Especially since Brexit which has destabilized London as the financial hub of Europe
This is exactly what the Breiman paper ("Statistical Modeling: The Two Cultures") discusses. If you haven't read it already, I would say it's worth a read.
This is an extremely interesting perspective. I actually had the opposite experience. I was forced to learn sanskrit throughout my high school career and I absolutely hated it. I'm an extremely practical person and I have no use for the language at all.
So you don't think the headline, "Maezawa spends a quarter of a billion to save hundreds of thousands" would have a larger impact on world peace than the current one? Let me get this straight, I don't mind how he's spending his money. My entire issue is that he doesn't need to bring in world peace as a reasoning to go to the moon. He's helping advance technology which is a noble cause.
There are numerous ways to address world peace such as through education, technology, medicine etc. According to this paper by the WHO and UNICEF there was a shortage of about $11 billion for immunization. How many hundreds of thousands could be saved from a $200 million donation?
Obviously it's being spent on developing the rocket. My issue is that he specifically states that the mission is about "inspiring world peace". There are clearly better ways to inspire world peace than taking a lap around the moon.
A bit ironic that Yusaku Maezawa wants the mission to be about "World Peace" when the $200+ million he most likely spent could be better served on Earth. Just call it what it is, a wish to be part of something bigger.
I disagree that this is the peak of AI/ML. Companies are desperately looking for PhDs in AI that can fulfill their business needs. I think we're about to see a lot more applications of AI/ML.
I'm reading your TOS right now. I'm not well versed with this type of jargon but what is this https://www.fancyhands.com ? Also, from the privacy policy, it seems like you'll be able to sell anonymous data. How "anonymous" would this be?
