China Confirms New Coronavirus Spreads From Humans to Humans

The Intricacies of Desire, a thread. 

Unexamined desires run rampant throughout the life of the average person.

With these desires comes pain. 

Desire, fundamentally, is a response to a feeling of incompleteness. 

A human being wants something that will fill the holes he feels within himself. 

When desires are fulfilled, they result in happiness.

When unfulfilled, sadness.

Both keep one hooked in an endless cycle of craving. 

What is one to do?

cond.

There is nothing to be done.

The very question of how to free oneself from desire stems from the desire not to desire. 

There is no “doing” that will lead one to freedom from desire.

Rather, one must proceed by way of understanding. 

When desire is sufficiently understood, it ceases to cause problems. 

At the center of all desires is the very one that is never examined: the desire to become happy.

Stock markets are officially obese but Trump won’t allow a credit diet

Stock markets across the world have price-to-earnings ratios well above their 15-year averages. But with accommodative monetary policy entrenched, and Trump sure to keep up pressure on the Fed, expect easy credit to continue to push markets to morbid heights, for now.

R3 (R3 LLC) is an enterprise blockchain technology company. It leads an ecosystem of more than 300 firms working together to build distributed applications on top of #Corda (known as #CorDapps) for usage across industries such as financial services, insurance, healthcare, trade finance, and digital assets.

Wiki

#Corda (unlike altcoins, or any other crypto scams), seems harmless and naive.

I think, it's possible to use #bitcoin blockchain for finality, and provide Corda API access / build #CorDapps on top of it.

#CorDapps on top of #WhatsApp, #Mastodon or any other social network..

Interesting discussion in that article, but its absolutist tripe. You wouldn't see it today, it highlight the naivety of people at the time. #HenryFord himself would become a patsy to the international bankers he proports to fight in this article. He would go on to sell his engines to #nazis (#American, #British and #German varieties thereof) in his pursuit for "peaceful" #energy.

Hitler would go on to have a poster of Ford on his wall.

So many useful idiots - wars thrive on them.

@vjy good one. Have you read the book?
@tecoholic no, I didn't read the book. Good movie. :)
@vjy Until the interest rates start rise this run should continue. This time the bear market will probably be called as the stongman bear. Populist strongman govt heads influencing central banks to show their splendid rule using market metrics.
@vjy But then the next guy will get blamed for ruining the economy. I also expect Trump or some close associate to be picked up for Securities Fraud and market manipulation for all the swings that Trump has made with his China Tradewar. Random announcement yanking the market up and down.

@tecoholic yes.. election is 9 months away.. max they can do another 6 x 25bp rate cuts from here, 1.75%

This time they may even go below 0%. Who knows.
