#merci très intéressant ; il manque juste le nombre (relatif) de personnes concernées
Pour les détails : #retraite et #assurance-vie : j’aimerais voir ce qu’il en est de pays où la retraite ne fonctionne pas par #capitalisation (ex : France), ou à l’inverse, où la santé se traite par capitalisation (ex : toute l’Asie)
La #Bourse (bleu clair) ne concerne définitivement pas grand monde, si même visualcapitalist le dit… il faudrait prévenir France-inter-en-direct-du-Palais-Brongniart qu’ils peuvent débrancher.
#Facebook accused of fake audience numbers - MarketWatch
▻http://www.marketwatch.com/story/facebook-accused-of-fake-audience-numbers-2017-09-06
Recently, Pivotal Research Group analyst Brian Wieser was intrigued by a trade publication study in Australia that said Facebook FB, +0.67% was claiming to reach 1.7 million more 16- to 39-year olds than actually existed in the country, according to Australian census data.
In reproducing the study for the U.S., Wieser said Facebook’s Ads Manager claims it can potentially reach 41 million 18- to 24-year-olds, 60 million 25- to 34-year-olds, and 61 million 35- to 49-year-olds. The problem arises when Wieser pulls up U.S. Census data from a year ago, showing 31 million 18- to 24-year-olds, 45 million 25- to 34-year-olds, and 61 million 35- to 49-year-olds.

Quand les 10 % des Chinois les plus riches connaissent une progression de près de 1 300 % par personne, celle-ci est de 400 % pour la moitié des habitants les plus pauvres, de quoi faire accepter la progression des écarts de croissance. A l’inverse, quand les 10 % des Américains fortunés voient leur revenu par habitant croître de 115 %, celui de la moitié la plus pauvre de la population stagne sur la période (- 1 %). La France est la mieux lotie : + 44 % pour les plus riches mais aussi + 39 % pour la moitié la plus pauvre.
Alibaba promises Trump it’ll create a million U.S. jobs, but don’t believe it - MarketWatch
▻http://www.marketwatch.com/story/alibaba-promises-trump-1-million-jobs-but-dont-believe-it-2017-01-09
Don’t be fooled by the latest billionaire meeting at Trump Tower after which “great” progress in American job creation is claimed: Alibaba won’t create 1 million jobs in the U.S. as promised, at least not directly.
On Monday, Alibaba Chief Executive Jack Ma became, after a 40-minute meeting with Trump in the newly minted politician’s gold-plated tower, the most recent CEO to tout job creation. There’s no better music to President-elect Donald Trump’s ears than pledges from CEOs to keep jobs in the U.S. or to create new ones. Trump based much of his campaign on ensuring U.S. jobs are kept away from foreigners and aren’t outsourced to other countries, and he’s gone to great and highly publicized lengths to prove his election is the reason for jobs coming to or staying in America.
How to get banned from Uber - MarketWatch
▻http://www.marketwatch.com/story/what-not-to-do-in-an-uber-2016-12-08
Uber released a set of guidelines Thursday for behavior that could get Uber passengers banned from the service and drivers suspended from the app. Many of these guidelines are common sense principles, said Harry Campbell, a driver who blogs about the ride-hailing industry at The RideShare Guy, but drivers are still waiting to see how much of an effect they will have.
“It seems to provide more clarity, but I don’t know that they’re more transparent,” Campbell said.
Additionally, passengers are told they cannot “touch or flirt with other people in the car,” including other passengers and the driver.If drivers fall below the star-rating minimum after multiple notifications from the company, they will loss access to their account.

Additionally, producing the materials involves environmental destruction caused by mining ore and fossil fuels. Particularly in gold mining, toxic chemicals including cyanide and mercury are needed, according to a U.N. Environment Program report in 2013.
Map: Two countries get 75% of all U.S. spending on foreign military aid - MarketWatch
▻http://www.marketwatch.com/story/map-two-countries-get-75-of-all-us-spending-on-foreign-military-aid-201
The United States spent a total of $5.9 billion to fund militaries around the world in 2014, according to the government’s 2015 Foreign Assistance report. Of that total, some 75%, or about $4.4 billion, was divided between Israel and Egypt.
Clearly, the Middle East, at 64% of the pie, is the theme here, with Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon also found among the top 10 recipients. Closer to home, Colombia led the Americas with a relatively scant $29 million. Still, that’s enough to place it ninth overall on the list.
To put these numbers in perspective, cost-estimating website HowMuch.net created this map, which shows the relative size of each country in terms of the amount they received from the United States. As you can see, Israel is huge, while Mexico barely registers.

At an indoor shopping mall in downtown San Francisco recently, a few developers from a startup called IndoorAtlas walked around several stores using a smartphone as their guide.
Aaron Liao, the company’s “director of developer evangelism,” carried an iPhone like a compass, as if he were lost in the woods. Following a blue dot and a path outlined on the screen, Liao and a group went into Bloomingdale’s, where he found the watches he wanted.
Then, a promotion popped up on the screen from Godiva chocolates. We trooped over to Godiva and got a little box of chocolates after Liao showed the salesperson the promo code on his phone.

For start-up that says it’s focused on secure messaging, #Symphony has been deleting a lot of its own messaging to the public about what it provides for its financial services clients. The firm has been editing out references on its website to data deletion and its ability to help banks keep their data away from the government.
The New York Post has previously reported that Symphony deleted a video from its website that bragged its software could help banks avoid billions in fines by making data deletion easier.

Je ne suis pas sur si ce truc a déjà été signalé, dans le doute je reposte !
Bank of America Merrill Lynch this month published a report transforming many of their investment themes into maps.
One of note is what the world would look like if sized by market capitalization.
The U.S. is still looking like the U.S. — and Japan is pretty hefty — but where did China go? And how is Hong Kong bigger than the mainland?
Russia, on this map, is basically the size of Finland. (A country that reportedly Vladimir Putin has designs for, though that’s a story for another day.)

It’s official: America is now No. 2 - MarketWatch
▻http://www.marketwatch.com/story/its-official-america-is-now-no-2-2014-12-04
The International Monetary Fund recently released the latest numbers for the world economy. And when you measure national economic output in “real” terms of goods and services, China will this year produce $17.6 trillion — compared with $17.4 trillion for the U.S.A.
As recently as 2000, we produced nearly three times as much as the Chinese.
To put the numbers slightly differently, China now accounts for 16.5% of the global economy when measured in real purchasing-power terms, compared with 16.3% for the U.S.
This latest economic earthquake follows the development last year when China surpassed the U.S. for the first time in terms of global trade.

Etats-Unis : spamé par son... frigo - France Info

Il le croyait innocent, accueillant même. Le réfrigérateur, cet ami du quotidien. Celui qui maintient au frais son soda préféré, qui veille avec zèle sur le coleslaw, qui permet de ne pas aller chercher une vache à chaque fois qu’on a envie d’un steak. Quelle n’a pas dû être la surprise, le chagrin même de cet Américain en se découvrant trahi. Un bandit informatique s’était installé dans cette cuisine, où chaque matin, il pénétrait sans méfiance en pyjama, l’esprit tout embrumé. Un frigo transformé en pirate du net, de quoi inspirer un nouveau filon aux scénaristes hollywoodiens. Pire qu’un colocataire psychopathe ou que l’hôtel qui rend fou. On imagine déjà Jack Nicholson dans le rôle.....

Tax the super-rich or riots will rage in 2012 - Paul B. Farrell - MarketWatch
►http://www.marketwatch.com/story/tax-the-super-rich-or-revolution-will-rage-in-2012-2011-08-16?link=home
What a year. Rage in London, Egypt, Athens, Damascus. All real. Just a metaphor in the new “Planet of the Apes” film? No, much more. Warning: More rage is dead ahead. Across our planet a new generation is filled with rage. High unemployment. Raging inflation. Dreams lost. Hope gone. While the super -rich get richer and richer.
But the rich “got richer, by lending, and looked for more places to invest, bidding up securities that eventually exploded in everyone’s face. In both eras, financial deregulation and loose monetary policies played roles in creating the bubble. But inequality itself — and the political pressure not to reverse it, but to hide it — was a crucial factor in the meltdown. The shrinking middle isn’t a symptom of the downturn. It’s the source of it.” Today the consequences of the meltdown still haunt us — there’s more to come.
The next bubble
There’s a new bubble blowing. No one can stop it ... soon it will explode.

US downgrade spurs concerns on Saudi assets

“The downgrade of US’s credit rating has raised concerns over SAMA’s foreign assets as the majority of assets are held as T-bills. SAMA should begin to diversify its portfolio in other currencies to mitigate risks. It seems officials have more challenges ahead in 2011 as the global economy takes another hit.”

S&P cuts Israeli bonds guaranteed by U.S. to ’AA+’ - MarketWatch

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services on Monday lowered the ratings on U.S.-guaranteed bonds issued by the Israeli government to AA+ from AAA. The downgrade comes in the wake of the ratings agency’s move on Friday to strip the U.S. of its triple-A rating. However, Israel’s sovereign rating is unchanged at A with a stable outlook. The decision affects about $6 billion in debt.
