2008 once more? The world may be headed for another global economic crisis

...For some years now, many analysts have believed that the next major global crisis would start in China, because it was suspected to be hugely overleveraged; equally, if not more important, nobody knew what was really going on. However, with central banks keeping the money feed so easy, markets all over the world kept rising.

What is your Uncle Point?

The uncle point is a place where a trader has had enough pain or draw-down and decides that the trade is no longer working and throws in the towel. ... The uncle point is usually the point where you know something is truly going wrong with your system and you take action and get out.

Impact of coronavirus on supply chains (and busness)

The biggest factor that's not understood is the non linearity of supply chains. A 2 week total shut down *does not* mean a two week delay in products to consumer. This is very different from the tariff impacts, where pricing was adjusted.

This is the best description of what Aadhaar is

This is the best description of #Aadhaar I have ever heard -

This number belongs to this fingerprint [with a probability threshold]. https://t.co/5epyhr6e5N

— V. Anand | வெ. ஆனந்த் (@iam_anandv) February 20, 2020

BTW.. it is not a proof of citizenship... the UIDAI website makes this abundantly clear. In fact, foreigners can also apply if they are resident in India for more than 6 months.

How can one submit false biometrics?

Sometimes it becomes necessary to cancel the Aadhaar number when it is found that a resident has obtained it by submitting false biometrics or documents. It is a routine quality improvement process that UIDAI takes up regularly. 11/n

— Aadhaar (@UIDAI) February 19, 2020

This is the best garbage UIDAi can come up with.... this also means it is possible to cancel one's Aadhar number.

Note that there is no provision for cancelling a deceased person's Aadhar number.
