Rockopolis posted:Something that came up in a cybersecurity class this week was that they're worried about it being a security problem. Having to open up more holes in the network or more people taking the opportunity to clicking on phishing.msg or the people who deal with that being sick. I mean, what if someone took the opportunity to hack into the pension company and give pensions to everybody? I'll take some of that pension if it's going spare.

My university has said nothing so far about moving to online teaching, despite students being terrified and US students returning home at a steady stream. UCL, King's, LSE, and Durham have moved teaching to online: Exeter really should as well.

So it shouldn't have a massive impact day-to-day? Or like, it's paperwork, as long as it's not literally paper work it should be exactly the kind of thing that can be done from home because they're just pushing imaginary money numbers around. My payroll is all done electronically on my end, I don't know if jacob marley is on the other end writing it all down in a ledger and they need to get the necromancer to give him a kick every so often but I assume not. happyhippy posted:I wouldn't be surprised if there is an empty locked private room in the nearest hospital reserved for them, just in case. I actually was wondering what's the private hospital capacity of the UK like? All those bupa clinics would presumably be helpful for respiratory care? Be a real shame if someone expropriated them.

Communist Thoughts posted:its gonna be extremely cold comfort when bojo resigns after 1 year and 3 million dead for some reason my dad is convinced that both 1) we won't be able to say if things would have been better or worse if the government had done X or y or Z, and 2) that there will be "electoral consequences" for bojo/trump if things go as badly as they look like they are I really don't understand the first one, because we're about to have a bunch of natural experiments and if our outcome is orders of magnitude worse than similar countries then I think we will be able to conclusively say that the government's course of action was wrong the second one, I don't hold out hope for the British public doing anything sensible any more but at least they're not full on cult of personality like the trump people. trump will never be blamed for anything by the trump supporters also the expert's conclusion seems to be that it's a bunch of bizarre half measures https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/12/verdicts-of-experts-on-governments-new-coronavirus-measures this bit in particular has been my feeling when my dad says that the medical officers' advice is evidence based quote:However, none of that is really going to affect transmission in the UK. I think at this point we are being perceived as lagging behind a lot of countries. And presumably other countries are basing their decisions on scientific information too.

So it shouldn't have a massive impact day-to-day? Yes I got that. But I don't know the detailed ins and outs of pensions or payroll admin, what exactly is involved. Obviously enough for this particular company (which manages far more pension schemes than I ever suspected!) to be making a contingency plan. Evidence-based CV actions by government chat: reassuring everyone they've taken scientific advice. Funny how they took no notice of scientific advice that brexit will be a disaster!

My brother did the payroll at his last company and didn't need to go in to the office at all except that timesheets were handwritten by the boss and left on his desk. It's all just software and an internet connection. Most people's jobs don't require a physical office. Most don't even need to exist. Cutting everything back to essential services only is going to be an interesting experiment for a world that has always maintained that everyone needs to work for a living. Truth is we don't and haven't needed to for a long time.

Given it looks like the economy could take a big hit from the ongoing crisis are there any banks that might be close to falling down like Northern Rock? Trump printing few trillion to keep the cash flowing in the market to nil effect has me abit jumpy. I have savings for possibly the first time in my life, and I'd hate for it to vanish into some bankers golden parachute after a collapse.

if we lived in the good timeline the silver lining of this would be everyone realising what a loving fiction the economy is and deciding that maybe people don't need to be driving to do work they can do at home, or doing jobs that we somehow survived months without people doing, or we don't need to care about a number that goes down if we do things that might save actual human lives because we live in the hell timeline, I think we're just going to have another lovely decade of stagnation once we get over the worst of the pandemic. at least there are no public services to cut now!

Personally I'm expecting Deutsch or HSBC to lead the charge, but see if you can make anything of this: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/m...C12901#page=105 Technically you're covered up to £85,000 per institution via the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (see: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/safe-savings/), for what that's worth when the entire banking system goes titsup. Personally I've got I've currently got Barclays, Santander, and my SIPP (which I moved to cash before christmas) as three different institutions with an £85k limit each.

in other news sainsbury's has a range of swedish meatballs called smorgasbord (yes lol) and they are the best things I have ever eaten and you should get some. e: Also if you're worried about savings getting killed by inflation buy gold. Not even kidding, you don't have to be talking insane amounts. I bought maybe 2.5k worth back when I had money and it's worth maybe just over 3k now. Better having that over fiat currency in this climate imho so long as you can store it safely. And just buying a commodity doesn't exactly have the same ethical issues that throwing your cash at shares in BAE or whatever does.

one minor silver lining of being kept home with a UTI is that I've been able to get a head start on my self-isolation prep I've moved the TV and ps4 to the foot of my bed to make what I'm calling "the fortress of solitude" (it's a batman reference) think I'm going to finish rdr2 for the 3rd time but then I'm not sure whether to finally play prey, or start a character on Skyrim. although I think my brother might have downloaded one of the final fantasy tens onto it at some point, which might be worth a go now that I'm transforming into an anime?
