Right on the precipice of a recession, he wanted to implement a massive cut to government spending on minor capital works and many other things that clearly fall under the category of "stimulus".
Whoo, reverse-Keynesian economics! Lessee how it goes.
Greenspan himself has admitted complicit fault in the credit crisis. Specifically, he has admitted that these fundamental *assumptions* that some economists have relied on, are in fact incorrect.
Blaming a few dodgy loans for bringing down the global economy seems a bit wacky to me. Surely it shouldn't be structured to make doing such a thing so absurdly easy.
"Should the financial system really have ever been structured in such a way, that a few, or even a lot of dodgy home loans was enough to bring down the global economy?"
Greenspan, the man who let it set itself up that way, has recently decided that this was an unfortunate decision.
Clever conservatives, set up a financial system akin to a house of cards, and then blame the wind.
Friedman dead, Greenspan admitting fault. Could we finally be learning that economics isn't some "solved" problem and is in fact evolving like all sciences?
The Australian senate is not a "representative" democracy and is not intended to be.
It is, in general a useful and important check on the system, it's just unfortunate that the major parties screwed up by letting that nitwit Fielding in. Essentially each trying to hurt the other and they just hurt themselves.
True enough. But as a filtering mechanism it clearly shouldn't even be an option. How hard would it be to write an apache module that adds a random seed to every file served? Seriously.
Two fundamental design features of the multiple networks that make up the internet are "transparent encapsulation", and "path redundancy". The upshot of this design is that no filtering mechanism can prevent *simple* circumvention. None. It is simply not possible given the way in which the technology is implemented. For the case of parents attempting to stop children looking at pornography this is not a drastic issue, as children likely will not know how this circumvention can be achieved. Once you are attempting to filter out "illegal content" however, you have entered a whole new realm of pointlessness. If someone is attempting to access illegal material on the internet, they are presumably already technically savvy enough to find such material, and so will have no problems at all circumventing any filtering mechanism.
The point being, the government is currently opening itself up to vocal criticism over the implementation of a filter that will not actually do anything. That does not seem particularly clever.
Presumably it will get worse once the money has been wasted on the filter and videos explaining how to circumvent it start popping up on youtube.
I sincerely urge you to rethink this technologically naive and fundamentally flawed plan.

I realise some of this is mostly just magical handwaving. But I was trying to get my point across.
Lol. Both parties have been threatening that nonsense for years. The reason no one bases their vote on it is because we don't believe it'll happen. It garners a few extra votes from some people who'll never know enough about the internet to know whether it was every actually implemented or not.
Actually, if you consider it we are very quite socialist.
Compared to who? Estonia?
Don't get me wrong, the U.S. is clearly a mixed economy (a term for some reason out of favour). But it seems to be a lot more right leaning than the rest of the first world.
This is actually touted as one of the advantages of switching to git.
git tracks "content" rather than files, which it identifies using a SHA-1 hash. Meaning that if anything is changed in a repository it will be identified as a "change" as soon as someone pulls it down, and so will be vetted.
Actually afaik no one except linus "commits" anymore. These days it's all distributed source control, so the maintainers tell linus that their feature branch is now up to scratch and linus pulls from them.
Have you got at least a reasonable explanation as to why "Power transmission over great distance sucks with DC, and is good with AC." let alone a source?
Also from "shitpedia" for your interest:
The advantage of AC for distributing power over a distance is due to the ease of changing voltages with a transformer. Power is the product current Ã-- voltage (P = IV). For a given amount of power, a low voltage requires a higher current and a higher voltage requires a lower current. Since metal conducting wires have a certain resistance, some power will be wasted as heat in the wires. This power loss is given by P = IÂR. Thus, if the overall transmitted power is the same, and given the constraints of practical conductor sizes, low-voltage, high-current transmissions will suffer a much greater power loss than high-voltage, low-current ones. This holds whether DC or AC is used.
And the ACTUAL reason that Japan uses DC is not because it's small, it's because they need to move power between islands:
Alternating current transmission lines do have other losses not observed with direct current. Due to the skin effect, a conductor will have a higher resistance to alternating current than to direct current; the effect is measurable and of practical significance for large conductors carrying on the order of thousands of amperes. The increased resistance due to the skin effect can be offset by changing the shape of conductors from a solid core to a braid of many small wires.

Yep, they are. Standard management idiocy.
People will find ways to game the system so as it'll all even out back to doing = original work, at same pay, but you'll have more pissed off employees.
So it's management's discretion as to what hours I am paid for while I am at work during the allotted time?
No, sorry, that just doesn't fly.
You should also note that they only try to pull this kind of shit on the people they can get away with it with, ie the people who can't afford it.

That's just priceless.

Blaming a few dodgy loans for bringing down the global economy seems a bit wacky to me. Surely it shouldn't be structured to make doing such a thing so absurdly easy.
Yes yes bad home loans blah blah blah.
But here's the more interesting question:
"Should the financial system really have ever been structured in such a way, that a few, or even a lot of dodgy home loans was enough to bring down the global economy?"
Greenspan, the man who let it set itself up that way, has recently decided that this was an unfortunate decision.

"People have voted based on fraud, and it crams the election system, and decreases confidence in our system."
That's your "purposes"? It "crams the election system"?
Wow... those dastardly evildoers.

Doesn't seem like corruption to me, just seems like Clinton and you disagree on the federal govt's treatment of cocaine traffickers.

'Worse Than Iran' is in quotes precisely because it's a quote. Doing this with a headline is fairly common practice in all forms of media.

Who the hell modded this interesting? This is an absolute and complete fabrication. Nothing but pure slanderous bullshit.
