Genetic Prediction and Adverse Selection
The predictive power of genetic data has been increasing rapidly and is reaching levels of clinical utility for many diseases. Meanwhile, many jurisdictions hav

“The risks cannot be compensated”: The willingness to donate DNA for science and its relationship with economic preferences
The accumulation of large genetic data is crucial for the scientific advancement of genetic research and precision medicine, but various participation biases threaten the validity of genetic research...

The scenes in the Oval Office today will shame the US for decades. They’ll never be forgotten.
A world leader, fighting for his country against the 21st century’s Nazis, came to the US and was attacked & abused by a gangster regime siding with the fascist invaders.
A historic disgrace.

Seems like central banks have completely lost control of the only thing they are supposed to control: the money supply.

It appears that the law of demand is not applicable to asset/speculative demand, because often as the price of an asset rises, so does the demand for the appreciating asset. This must in part explain the inherent instability of markets, Minskey-style?!
