Is Social Security actually going bankrupt or is that a Republican meme?

do the math yourself. We're not here to spoonfeed you

It will never go "bankrupt". The US banking system was bankrupt in 2008/2009 and look what happened.
Social Security is what keeps the US from becoming a Mexico.

It won't go bankrupt, but don't expect to be able to get anything worthwhile out of it in 20+ years so plan your retirement savings with that in mind.
I fully expect that they will either dramatically reduce the payments or inflate it all away, it mathematically cannot continue the way it is for a sustained period of time.
Is Finance's job safe from robots? I mean, in a near future only robots would have the whole job in finance industry; and humans would be only limited to watch and wait for stocks?
>>1042154
who is gonna sell the stocks?
>>1042154
"Finance" is pretty vague.
Even accounting falls under finance, but accounting will BTFO by automation.
Finance in general is pretty safe since this is the last place where people want to make compromises. Of course some people will advertise going full roboting even on portfolio management (http://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/110514/how-financial-advisors-can-adjust-roboadvisors.asp) but they will turn out not to be very good, since they can only perform well when people know what they...

no. everything involving finance is VERY heavily threatened by automation.
- think how much faster computers can peform complex calculations fetching data from various sources
- think how much more logical and non-emotional computers can make critical decisions
- no need for outer-body components or robot-parts to perform actual actions (all digital)

Businesses, in order to prosper, require a product to sell. Software is special because once its made once it can be replicated again and again, so the challenge to production is mostly on the front end. You don't really need to worry about spreading half a million copies of your indie game about punching blocks or your website about facing books. You just push it until the zeitgeist grabs hold and doesn't let up until you've got either millions or enough death threats to convince you to back down,...

>death threats to convince you to back down, as is the case with the angry birds guy.
Why did he get death threats anyway?
>>1042044
But you forgot step zero
>0. Have Jewish relatives
All of the silicon valley people have them or are Jewish themselves. That's how they got big in the first place.
How much money do I need to start a website like buzzfeed? Y'know the kinds of website where the contents get shared all over facebook and when people click on the link, it's literally just a video and a couple of words and a figuratively a million ads in the background.
>>1033504
there is a lot of them, A LOT. you need at least 20,000 dollars. And what makes you think itll be recognized? do get recognition u need ads, and ads is more money. YOU ARE FUCKED

Kuaffman says something about the founding of Upworthy and BuzzFeed in The Personal MBA in the chapter about failure. Upworthy didn't fail but you should expect to.

Lots of gay people on chat sites, assuming you're male.

Aquire startup capital by aggressively investing in futures.
Generally, when a company wants to generate feedback from its customer base it will offer them a chance to win a prize in exchange for asking them to fill out a survey. Thankfully for Microsoft, /v/ users will gladly do it for free so there's no need for that. But is it ethical? I think companies who're conducting any kind of online questionnaire should be required by law to disclose their identities and intentions beforehand, giving consumers awareness and the freedom to opt out of uncompensated participation in market research if they so choose.
If it's ethical depends on your world view. Are you atheist then it is ethical or not depending on what you feel that day. If you are Christian it depends on what the Bible says and if it's a part of the Bible that applies anymore or not. Otherwise it's like atheists. If you are Muslim then everything is ethical and allowed if it is not forbidden in the Qur'an and hadith. If you are Buddhist it is unethical if it is motivated by anything other than selflessness so maybe yes because it's motivated by a thirst and desire for earthly knowledge. If you are...

and that OP is how it is

Thanks for outlining what it means to be ethical. What do you personally think?
Hello guys. Let me introduce myself. I am going to start studies on Animatronics and Robotics in my shitty country (so If I do any mistake in English feel free to correct me, but it's not my native language so don't be mad ^ ^). The problem is I need money for my studies and I can't work full-time job, because of school. In vacation I'm going to work but it can not be enough. Also I don't have familly so I can't take money from them (you know one of the shitty story about home abuse, shitty life etc. but it's not about it). So I am on my own....

Oh also I want to add that I don't need a lot of money. 300$ per month will be enough.
you selling to local people? try to spam local message boards and news sites
>>1041878
I was thinking about selling by the internet. You know I buy something cheap and sell it with higher price on selling sites. But I will not earn really that much and I can lose, if no one buy it. Maybe u know what I can buy cheap and sell with a lot of higher price?
What country would you move to and why?! Also, what kind of BIZ would you start in an unknown eco.?! Besides sucking dicks for X currency.

You are retarded, even the USA will gladly go on all fours and suck your dick while making you a citizen if you got enough cash.
Is it illegal to put someone ease's photo + name + address as the business owner on a commercial website?
>>1033466
of course not, you can put whoever you want, at least in the US, I don't know how it is in Europe, they are not so free.
>>1033466
its a grey area, see when the sheep sign up and post their pictures on social media there is small tiny letters saying " that the you waive your right to the copyright of this photo blablabla" basically you upload online it belongs to the company you upload it too , they can sell it . But some website simply waive the right completly making it public property like imgur or chan or whatever. there is no chance youll get sued unless u use kim kardashia or some celeb like that

Short answer: Yes.

Someone in my town won the lottery, but it ain't me. How do I stop turning green?
>>1041750
steal his money
>>1041760
alternatively: offer to suck his dick for all his money
alternatively (although the concept): sell him some overpriced luxury item
what I am saying is: use your envy to motivate yourself to get on your knees

If you've got 30k sitting pretty, you can get a Reg-T margin account and do some serious day trading.
However, trading for a consistent profit takes about 24 months of daily practice. Took me 48, but I'm doing some extra-difficult shit that most people would never even consider trying.
You can buy some shares of an Index Fund or an ETF and let it sit pretty but then you're at the mercy of the markets. Probably not too risky considering the Dow is down to nearly 16k and oil can only drop another $10 before everything goes tits-up. This is probably...

why, oh why do people insist on showing everyone their instant wealth?
>>1041474
Because it's the law. Very few states let you hide your identity when claiming.
>>1041482
Nonsense, you don't have to. You can even give a false name and still claim.
Guys, senior in HS here, relative recently passed away and left me 10K. I want to invest but I have little knowledge of the stock market. What are some good investments? Suggestions? Advice?
>>1041447
Watch the stocks and form your own judgement on where the money is going and where bubbles form. I'm gonna make a killing on a certain energy company in the next few months but that's only because a certain someone is falling out.
