Fire Them All, Non-Maliciously

I'll admit that I have been silently cheering for DOGE on the grounds you can probably fire most [edit: maybe more like 50%] government workers and society will be better off on net after a year or two of labor market adjustment.

My team when I worked in government were a bunch of smart, high conscientiousnes people working surprisingly hard on making and updating data scripts, publications, surveys, and dashboards that basically nobody ever read, about a declining economic sector with bad pay and working conditions. They were great people, but what we did was borderline worthless, and these were probably as smart and hard-working as government employees get outside of the central bank and techier places in the military/intelligence.

---

For government bureaucrats to be beneficial on net, it's not about whether:

Good Things They Do > Bad Things They Do

It's actually:

Good Things They Do - Compensation > Bad Things They Do

Good Things We Did and Bad Things We Did were pretty minimal (G > B, slightly), with Compensation being dominant in making our jobs net-negative. Since being laid off I've found a position in a nonprofit, but one where I think my work actually fulfills [G - C > B], making my path a sort of success story here.

11 January 2024: Crown Prince Hussein, accompanied by Princess Rajwa, attended the launch of the Jordan-Singapore Tech Alliance Forum.

Speaking at the launch, Crown Prince Hussein highlighted the forum’s importance in unifying the two countries’ efforts towards technological excellence.

He stressed Jordan’s keenness to become a rising force on the international tech scene, highlighting the importance of digital transformation and entrepreneurship in nurturing creativity and turning ideas into reality.

The similarities between tech talents in Jordan and Singapore can be a bridge that connects the two countries and enhances cooperation in service of mutual interests, the Crown Prince said at the forum, held by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship and Jordan’s embassy in Singapore, in cooperation with the Singapore Business Federation and SG Tech. (Source: Petra)

His Royal Highness invited business people, experts, and CEOs to visit Jordan to learn more about the ICT and entrepreneurship sector, which is full of promising Jordanian talents.

Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship Ahmad Hanandeh said that with more than 8,000 students graduating from IT-related programmes each year, Jordan’s digital economy continues to flourish, noting that Jordanians are making an impact that is attracting businesses from around the world.

He expressed the ministry’s keenness to continue helping Singaporean companies find the perfect home for their business in Jordan, highlighting the Jordan Source programme, which is helping businesses capitalise on Jordan’s exceptional potential as a global IT and business process outsourcing hub.

The Jordan-Singapore Tech Alliance Forum saw the participation of nearly 150 representatives of tech start-ups in Singapore, in addition to six Jordanian start-ups that provide technical support to international companies in sectors like gaming, digital education, and creative industries.

During the forum, key Jordanian tech companies gave briefings on their work, and participants engaged in discussions to attract international firms to Jordan by showcasing the competitiveness of the ICT sector in the Kingdom and success stories of Jordanian start-ups.

The forum also featured a presentation on the Jordan Source programme, launched in 2021 during a ceremony attended attendance of the Crown Prince, to promote Jordan as an international hub for innovation and investment in ICT and communications.

The forum is part of a series of Jordan Source promotional tours to attract investments and build partnerships with international companies seeking to expand into the Middle East through Jordan.

On the sidelines of the forum, a memorandum of understanding between Jordan’s Institute of Banking Studies and the Singapore FinTech Association was signed.

Planning Minister Zeina Toukan, Jordan’s Ambassador to Singapore Samer Naber, and Director of the Office of the Crown Prince Zaid Baqain attended the forum.

Finance Recruitment in Toronto: How to Attract the Best Candidates

The financial sector in Toronto is one of the most competitive in North America, attracting top talent from across the globe. However, as the demand for skilled finance professionals continues to grow, companies are facing increasing challenges in attracting and retaining the best candidates. With so many opportunities available, job seekers are more discerning than ever, making it essential for businesses to refine their recruitment strategies.

Successful finance recruitment in Toronto goes beyond offering competitive salaries. It’s about crafting a compelling employer brand, understanding the needs of modern candidates, and leveraging the expertise of specialized recruitment agencies. Here’s how your organization can stand out and secure top-tier finance talent in a crowded market.

The Competitive Landscape of Finance Recruitment in Toronto

Toronto is Canada’s financial hub, home to leading banks, investment firms, fintech companies, and multinational corporations. This vibrant ecosystem creates a highly competitive environment for employers, as candidates with expertise in areas such as financial analysis, compliance, and risk management are in high demand.

To stay ahead, companies need to adopt innovative strategies to differentiate themselves from competitors. Partnering with Toronto finance recruitment agencies is one of the most effective ways to gain a competitive edge. These agencies not only understand the local market but also have access to a vast network of qualified candidates, making them invaluable allies in the recruitment process.

Why Employer Timing and Transparency Matter

When it comes to hiring, speed and communication can make or break your chances of securing top candidates. Today’s finance professionals are not only in high demand but are often exploring multiple opportunities simultaneously. To stay competitive, employers need to streamline their hiring processes and maintain open communication with candidates throughout.

Timely Responses: Delays in providing feedback or moving to the next stage of the recruitment process can cause candidates to lose interest or accept other offers.

Clear Expectations: Outline the role’s responsibilities, growth opportunities, and compensation early on to set clear expectations and reduce uncertainty.

Honest Feedback: Candidates appreciate constructive feedback, even if they’re not selected. This level of transparency enhances your reputation and encourages them to reapply in the future.

By prioritizing speed and transparency, businesses can keep candidates engaged and position themselves as reliable, efficient employers.

Broaden Your Search to Uncover Hidden Talent

In the search for top finance professionals, it’s easy to focus on traditional candidate pools. However, broadening your approach can reveal hidden talent that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Non-Traditional Backgrounds: Look for candidates with transferable skills from other industries, such as tech or operations, who can bring fresh perspectives to finance roles.

Diverse Talent Pipelines: Actively seek candidates from underrepresented groups to enrich your team with varied experiences and viewpoints.

Passive Candidates: Many highly qualified professionals aren’t actively job hunting but may be open to the right opportunity. Proactively reaching out to these candidates can give you access to untapped talent.

By thinking outside the box, Toronto's finance recruitment agencies can help organizations identify and secure professionals who offer unique value and potential.

Build a Strong Employer Brand

Your employer brand plays a crucial role in attracting top finance talent. Candidates are more likely to apply to companies they perceive as innovative, inclusive, and supportive of their employees.

Here are some ways to enhance your employer brand:

Showcase Employee Success Stories: Highlighting the achievements and career growth of your team members demonstrates that your company values and invests in its employees.

Engage on Social Media: Share company updates, employee spotlights, and thought leadership content on platforms like LinkedIn to showcase your company culture.

Highlight Benefits and Perks: Clearly communicate the benefits you offer, such as mentorship programs, wellness initiatives, and flexible work options.

A strong employer brand not only attracts top talent but also helps retain your existing workforce, creating a positive cycle of growth and success.

Embrace Proactive Recruitment Strategies

In a competitive market, waiting for candidates to come to you is no longer enough. Proactive recruitment strategies are essential to securing the best talent in finance hiring in Toronto.

Build Talent Pipelines: Maintain relationships with potential candidates, even if they’re not immediately available for a role.

Engage in Industry Networking: Attend finance industry events, webinars, and conferences to connect with professionals and expand your network.

Offer Referral Programs: Incentivize your employees to refer top talent by offering bonuses or other rewards for successful hires.

By staying proactive, your organization can stay ahead of the curve and be ready to fill critical roles as they arise.

Attracting the best candidates in Toronto’s competitive finance market requires a multifaceted approach. From maintaining transparency in your hiring process to broadening your search for hidden talent, companies must adapt to meet the demands of today’s workforce.

BJRC Recruiting specializes in finance recruitment in Toronto, helping organizations find exceptional candidates who drive success. Whether you need help refining your hiring strategy or accessing top-tier talent, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Contact BJRC Recruiting today and discover how our expertise can help you secure the finance professionals your organization needs to thrive.

an unexpected engagement (ao3) - thedrih steve/natasha M, 208k

Summary: Natasha Romanoff has a huge crush on CEO Steve and decides that the company’s Christmas party is the perfect opportunity to win him over but she ends up exaggerating and after several disastrous events she wakes up in Steve’s bed without remembering how she got there. And the most surprising thing is that he makes her an unusual proposal: that she pretend to be her fiancée!

Steve Rogers is a workaholic CEO who, in order to escape the family’s insistence that he have a serious relationship, invents a fake bride. And when the family shows up by surprise and catches him with the employee he brought home drunk and passed out last night, he decides to make her a proposal: that Natasha pretend to be his fake bride.

What Steve doesn’t realize is that Natasha has much more elaborate plans for him, making him a very malicious counterproposal!

When Steve finds himself needing a private security detail for a trip to France, he hires Shield Security and Maria becomes his constant companion. They grow closer as the trip progresses, but can they survive what’s coming to find out if their Paris sojourn could turn into something real?

[frostynovaprime]

Mmmmmm post sleep Tennocon Rambles under the cut

Ofc because I just started vet school last week (yay) I couldn’t attend in person. Really sad I couldn’t attend because I’ve always loved it when I went to the 2017 and 2018 events. Had to watch the stream, but it look like from pictures everyone had tons of fun and I’m glad it was a success. Next year, please let it be closer to the middle of the summer akdjejak

Art panel, the highlight for me as always as an artist myself. Really cool to see all the concept works from way back in Dark Sector. I’m so sad the art book was so expensive and sold out so fast, but I hope this means they can be inspired to do a reprint in the future (maybe when food expenses arent draining my bank like a whirlpool….) The new upcoming concepts I can’t say I’m a fan of all too much. Grendel is my most hated frame but the boar is a cool inpiration for him. I personally think the game is very oversaturated with Liger concepts, so as per most Liger deluxes Sevagoth wasn’t my cup of tea. They designed the frame, why not have someone else take a shot as his deluxe? I didn’t catch who designed Yareli’s bu that one was interesting.

And….. the Heirloom skins collection. They’re pretty. I though Mag’s was for Nova and got too excited for a bit. And as a Frost main I’m always glad for more content containing him, hell I squint at his skin because it has a few elements that are strikingly similar to my Deluxe concept for him back in 2021. But. The price. I want to buy it, but this entire collection pitch is exactly what Digital Extremes has vow to not do in all 10 years with their fair free to play model, and this sets a very bad precedent if it were to continue. $90 USD is too high of a price for a pack of skins marketed as being in celebration of 10 years, inflated artificially with the Regal Aya. A pack of 6 (with an extra bonus, making 7 total and 400 platinum) is $40 which means everything in the second tier pack is only $30. The same price as the low tier. The only new thing the skins intoduce are the Signas, which are cool, but I gesture to Kaithe coronets. The skins have no new visual effects for abilities, no new animations, not even new idles like recent Deluxe skins have. Rebecca used the word “prestigious” for describing the pack. And I beg her to NEVER use that word again for cosmetics. Prestigious content is a very slippery slope. Take the Prestige skins from League. Because of those skins Riot is now thinking they can make a variant recolor of a very old Jhin legendary and mark the price up to $200. Warframe doesn’t need that. Not to mention the FOMO. The Heirloom pack is gone at the end of the year. Even past Prime Access comes back in Resurgence after a few years. Nightwave brings back old items from past story events. The only thing that has never returned was the Founders Packs, for a good reason. The Heirloom collection feels like a rehash of the Founders marketing in the present state of them game where it’s most likely not trying to stay afloat. FOMO has never existed in Warframe, and it shouldn’t be added now.

Don’t even get me started on that 10 year Accolade in the packs. Accolades have usually been for people who made a notable contribution to the game. Founders, Closed Beta testers, Creators. All of them have some sort of impact on the game be it keeping it afloat in the starting year or contributing to the Community. Now a shiny sticker can be added to any account for as low as $30. I’ve been playing the game for 8 years. I’m not a ‘10 year supporter’ yet. The wording itself insinuates that to supoort the game for a decade, you need to pay. That Accolade should have been something added automatically when your account turns 10 years old.

Overall I’m extremely disappointed bu the Heirloom marketing as it stands. Will I buy it down the road? Chances are high when I’m not bleeding for food with school going on, which is at the very end of the year right before it goes away cause I also give into FOMO. DE has adjusted their strategies before, and I hope they do so now. But this has already set a bad first impressions for any future Heirloom content.

Anyway, rant over on that. Sound panel was cool. Always cool to hear how specific sounds are made like Kullervo. The Heirloom debacle kinda soured my mood for a bit, so I focused more on studying my classes and then went shopping with my roommates.

Came back a little late to TennoLive, probably halfways thru the Soulframe demo. From what I saw I really like the whole concept and thematic. The little turtle guy is so cute. Excited to see more of its development and eventually play it.

The Warframe aspect I had more range of feelings. Whispers in the Wall looks really cool and I’m excited for exploring what the fuck Albrecht is doing. I love how its expanding Deimos more, instead of adding another island and button to navigation. It feels like it’ll require the New War to access, since its all based around the aesthetic of the Man in the Wall seen at the very end of the quest. I’m very interest in the human Loid (best design from Liger since Nezha Empyrean imo). I hope he gives more insight into the attitudes of the Orokin since he is 99% likely from before the Old War.

And… Warframe 1999. I got sucked into Warframe because of it’s unique spin on fantasy sci-fi. And throughout the 8 years I’ve played it’s stuck to its aethetic formula to a T. Seeing CRT monitors and Nokias along with Entrati designs, the modern sci-fi elements and callbacks to Dark Sector makes it feel out of place. Blasphemous almost. But, I’ve had this feeling before with Duviri. I had reservations as to whether Duviri would break the Warframe Universe as we knew it. But DE made the Paradox make sense, and the aethetic language of the world fits perfectly into the formula. I absolutely love Duviri. I need to see more and play 1999 in order to feel how it connects to the Origin System and Duviri as a whole, be it the very distant past (and being born in 99 myself makes me…. Haaaaa) or a parallel universe connected by Void Fuckery(tm). But seeing how Duviri played out I have no real doubts DE won’t pull it off again.

Repercussions from Finns Party MP Timo Vornanen's night out last Thursday continue to reverberate around Finnish politics.

The North Karelian legislator was taken into custody by police, and is now suspected of firing a shot into the ground following an altercation at a karaoke bar in the early hours of Friday morning.

Helsingin Sanomat has interviewed several people present at the bar on Thursday, and offered new details about Vornanen's evening. It's an extensive story including several details not previously known, and is cited in several other media outlets on Tuesday.

Iltalehti, meanwhile, has a piece on Vornanen's other profession — policing. He is currently on leave from the police after his election last year, but can he continue to hold that position?

North Karelia police chief Samppa Holopainen was cautious, saying that it depends on many factors.

He declined to comment directly on the Vornanen case but speaking on a general level, he said that if charges are filed and an individual is convicted, then the police force would weigh those factors in deciding on appropriate disciplinary action.

Banking deception

Business daily Kauppalehti ran an unsettling editorial in which they detail recent events at the OmaSäästöpankki bank.

The bank has admitted a senior employee had downplayed the risks of its property loan portfolio, causing a 19 million euro dent in first quarter results.

The bank says it has learnt a valuable lesson, and the individual responsible for entering false data in its systems is no longer working for the institution.

This instance affected a small part of a sector that's responsible for just three percent of the bank's six billion euro balance sheet. While shocking, the OmaSäästöpankki revelations are quite small-scale.

But Kauppalehti asks unsettling questions about whether the next banking scandal might be on an altogether larger scale.

Loan books at the Silicon Valley Bank caused a bank run and a collapse last year, and the European Central Bank has warned of risks in the property sector.

With property and construction facing difficult times in the next year or two, KL asks if there is a possibility the next banking scandal might be much bigger.

Tappara shares on offer

Yesterday's paper review included news of Tappara's latest ice hockey championship, and today's edition includes a tip (from Aamulehti) on buying a chunk of Finland's most successful hockey club.

Some 1,580 shares in Tappara are being auctioned off on huutokaupat.com, as part of bankruptcy proceedings against the previous owner.

The shares would give the new owner a spot among the top 17 owners of the club. Others include the Finnish-British-Israeli London resident Chaim "Poju" Zabludowicz, and Florida Panthers centre Alexander Barkov.

At the time of writing there had been 49 offers from 11 bidders, with the highest at 45,500 euros. There are 18 days to go in the auction.

The Amazing Facts and Stories of Dubai that You Might Not Know

"Have you ever wondered how Dubai became one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world? How did this city transform from a small fishing village to a global metropolis in just a few decades? What are the secrets behind its success and appeal?

As a travel enthusiast and a frequent visitor to Dubai, I have always been fascinated by this city and its history. I have done extensive research and explored many aspects of Dubai’s culture, economy, and attractions. In this answer, I will share with you some of the most amazing facts and stories about Dubai that you might not know.

I will cover the following topics:

The origins and evolution of Dubai

The vision and leadership of Dubai’s rulers

The innovation and diversity of Dubai’s projects

The challenges and opportunities of Dubai’s future

By the end of this answer, you will have a better understanding and appreciation of Dubai and its achievements. You might even want to visit it yourself someday!

The Origins and Evolution Of Dubai

Dubai's history dates back to the 18th century when it was a small settlement of fishermen and pearl divers on the banks of Dubai Creek. The creek was a natural harbor that facilitated trade and commerce with neighboring regions. Dubai soon became a thriving port and a hub for regional and international trade.

In the early 20th century, Dubai faced several challenges, such as the collapse of the pearl industry, the Great Depression, and the World Wars. However, Dubai's rulers managed to overcome these difficulties and maintain the city's prosperity and stability. They also established friendly relations with other countries and joined the United Arab Emirates in 1971.

The turning point in Dubai's history came in 1966, when oil was discovered in its offshore fields. This gave Dubai a huge boost in its economy and development. Dubai's rulers invested the oil revenues wisely and strategically in various sectors, such as infrastructure, education, health, tourism, and finance. They also diversified the economy and reduced its dependence on oil.

Dubai's growth and transformation accelerated in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, when it launched several ambitious and innovative projects that made it a global leader in many fields. Some of these projects include:

The Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world

The Palm Jumeirah, the largest artificial island in the world

The Dubai Mall, the largest shopping mall in the world

The Dubai Metro, the longest driverless metro system in the world

The Dubai Miracle Garden, the largest natural flower garden in the world

The Dubai Frame, the largest picture frame in the world

These are just some of the examples of Dubai's achievements and attractions that make it a unique and remarkable city. In the next section, I will discuss how Dubai's vision and leadership contributed to its success and appeal.

The vision and leadership of Dubai's rulers

One of the main factors that enabled Dubai's rapid and remarkable development is the vision and leadership of its rulers. Dubai's rulers have always been visionary and forward-thinking, anticipating the future needs and opportunities of their city and their people. They have also been courageous and bold, taking calculated risks and making smart decisions that paid off in the long run.

Dubai's current ruler, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is a prime example of a visionary and a leader. He is the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and the Ruler of Dubai since 2006. He is also the founder and chairman of the Dubai Future Foundation, which aims to shape the future of Dubai and the world through innovation and collaboration.

Sheikh Mohammed has a clear and ambitious vision for Dubai, which he outlined in his book "My Vision: Challenges in the Race for Excellence". He wants Dubai to be:

A city of happy, creative, and empowered people

A city of tolerance, harmony, and diversity

A city of excellence, innovation, and competitiveness

A city of culture, heritage, and identity

A city of sustainability, resilience, and opportunity

To achieve this vision, Sheikh Mohammed has launched several initiatives and strategies that guide Dubai's development and progress. Some of these include:

The Dubai Plan 2021, which sets the strategic goals and priorities for Dubai's social, economic, environmental, and urban development

The Dubai Smart City Initiative, which aims to transform Dubai into the smartest and happiest city in the world by leveraging technology and innovation

The Dubai Industrial Strategy 2030, which aims to enhance Dubai's industrial sector and increase its contribution to the GDP

The Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, which aims to make Dubai a global hub for clean energy and green economy

The Dubai 3D Printing Strategy, which aims to make Dubai a global leader in 3D printing technology and applications

These are just some of the examples of Sheikh Mohammed's vision and leadership that inspire and motivate Dubai's people and partners to work together towards a common goal: making Dubai the best city in the world. In the next section, I will discuss how Dubai's innovation and diversity make it a dynamic and attractive city.

The innovation and diversity of Dubai's projects

Another factor that makes Dubai a unique and remarkable city is the innovation and diversity of its projects. Dubai is always looking for new and creative ways to improve its quality of life, enhance its competitiveness, and showcase its identity. Dubai is also open to different cultures, ideas, and perspectives, which enrich its society and economy.

Dubai's projects reflect its innovation and diversity in many ways. Some of these include:

The Dubai Expo 2020, which is the first World Expo to be held in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia region. The Expo will showcase the achievements and aspirations of 192 countries and millions of visitors under the theme "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future". The Expo will also feature three sub-themes: Opportunity, Mobility, and Sustainability.

The Museum of the Future, which is a futuristic museum that will explore the emerging trends and technologies that will shape the future of humanity. The museum will also serve as a platform for innovation and collaboration among experts, researchers, and innovators from various fields and disciplines.

Brazil leads as open banking takes off in Latam

Following the lead of open banking initiatives in Europe and the UK, five countries in Latin America – Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico – have backed open finance regulations or are implementing them.

“There are a number of success stories in other parts of the world, specifically Latin America, where open finance is really having a massive impact on the financial sector and on financial inclusion,” says Pablo Viguera, co-CEO and co-founder of open finance platform Belvo. 

Brazil has reached five million connected accounts less than a year after the first implementation deadline passed, a feat which took between four and five years in the UK, according to a report by Open Banking Excellence. 

As of February 2023, after two years, there are already 22 million customers in Brazil who consented to share their personal and banking data between participating financial institutions, according to Febraban, the association of Brazilian banks.

The principle of full interoperability has been the main driver of the open finance initiative in Brazil since the country opted out of a model in which all institutions plug into a single institution. Finally, Brazil not only defined its application programming interface (API) standards but also the required steps in the customer journey.

Don’t Fear the Seasons – Sell in May

But don’t go away. We actually sold some positions in April when we issued our MACD Best 6 Months Seasonal Sell Signal to Almanac Investor subscribers. Reposition in May is a better strategy. Best & Worst Months stats plus a compounding onetime $10K investment tell the story. Can’t argue with success.

Worst Six Months May-October is not a binary selloff. Risk is elevated historically, stocks tend to be volatile, moving sideways with choppy trading – illustrated in the chart. Anyone who tries to refute this by going back past WWII is making a moot point as the seasonal pattern was inverted when our economy was agrarian driven in yesteryear.

We sold $DIA & $SPY, plus other seasonal sector trades, underperforming stocks and rotated into some bond ETFs. This is the time of year we shift to a neutral stance – between our Dow/S&P Best Six Months MACD Sell Signal and our NASDAQ Best 8 Months MACD Seasonal Sell on or after June 1.

Everyone gets hyper focused on whether you should Sell in May or not. But forget as I like to say: “Buy in October and get yourself sober.” From my October 4 Buy Signal to my April 25 Sell DIA and SPY trades were up 10.8% and 8.2% respectively. QQQ is up 15.5% from the October 4 Buy as of midafternoon trading today.

If there is any year it’s time to get defensive in May, it’s this year. With the debt ceiling showdown, the banking crisis, inflation, interest rates and the slowing economy, it is a perfect time to move to the sidelines and enjoy the healthy yields in bonds.
