    U.S. Stocks’ Total Value May Be Too High

    He has been fearful to invest in stocks like Nvidia over the last few years whereas the people who have been greedy have seen their money multiply many times over. Who's the genius here?

    U.S. Stocks’ Total Value May Be Too High

    Buffett is just annoyed that while everyone else was making money from AI he was invested in Coca cola and bonds

    Certificate of non-impediment for a Singaporean to wed

    So if they change their ID cards to "believe in God Almighty" they are free to marry Muslims and register it at the catatan sipil?

    Free meals for children (MBG) is it good as intended ??

    Yes, I very much doubt that most cases are reported. There are probably incentives to make it look like everything is working well. Yes crowds occasionally go crazy (mengamuk), but you don't have to live here long to see how deferential Indonesians are to authority in their everyday life. Trying...

    Certificate of non-impediment for a Singaporean to wed

    You're assuming that these forced conversions actually cause someone to change their beliefs. If someone wants to change their religion they can, but the thousands of KTP muslims who only converted to get married didn't change their beliefs at all. No-one is going to stop going to church just...

    Free meals for children (MBG) is it good as intended ??

    Those are only the ones reported. Since Indonesians are generally scared of complaining or challenging authority, the figures could be 10x or 100x that, it's impossible to say.

    Certificate of non-impediment for a Singaporean to wed

    Requiring that everybody has a religion is like requiring that everybody supports a football team (even those that have no interest in football) and then the name of that team is put on your ID card. On the other hand it is their country and they can do what they like. I feel quite lucky that I...

    Remote work with a spouse KITAS visa - the how

    You can't get a work permit for that as there is no Indonesian entity involved in the process. To get a work permit you need to be working for an Indonesian entity because they are the ones that apply for it.

    Free meals for children (MBG) is it good as intended ??

    Money wasted on the meals program is taken from other budgets, this results in less progress in education and employment for the people, which results in riots because people do not see a future (see also kabur aja).

    Free meals for children (MBG) is it good as intended ??

    This program is one of the main drivers behind the recent riots, because of all the budget cuts that had to be made to pay for it.

    COVID-19

    For chronic fatigue-type symptoms, I would check mineral deficiencies. For example a magnesium deficiency can cause those type of symptoms, as well as heart-related episodes, and if you find you are at the bottom of the range, or below it, for magnesium, it would be highly recommended to take...

    Lifetime KITAP extension (my experience)

    It's interesting to know that both the unlimited kitap and merp are only unlimited as long as you stay with the same sponsor..

    Looks like I may be moving to Jakarta

    I was very dubious about getting a car 12 years ago but it has been fantastic. Big quality of life increase. Also it has barely lost any value in that time, which is a bonus.

    The future and the role of Artificial intelligence.

    With the disappointing release of the new version of chatgpt 5, a lot of people are asking if this is as good as it gets. There is no new data to be trained on, hallucinations are still a bad problem with no sign of improvement. Has it plateaued already?

    Looks like I may be moving to Jakarta

    Only people that are registered deaf could 'barely notice' the mosque noise pollution. Although a lifetime of being exposed to it would make you deaf anyway, which is probably why Indonesians don't notice it anymore.

    Looks like I may be moving to Jakarta

    1. Top priority should be checking the mosque positions and positions of the loudspeakers. They can make your life absolute hell if you get it wrong. 2. The first time I lived here I chose a place near to the airport (Taman anggrek area) because I thought I wanted easy access to the airport for...

    Medical insurance in Australia

    For someone to have an accident on holiday that requires hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay out, I would say you would have to be extremely unlucky or extremely careless. Of course there have been cases where it has happened (well publicised by insurance company marketing departments) but...
