@dhh and @stevewoz ranting about credit score




"It's big tech in 2019"


There are different pieces of information being leaked:


The data breach comprises some 13.4 million documents—totaling about 1.4 terabytes—from two offshore service providers, Appleby and Asiaciti Trust, and from the company registers of 19 tax havens.
The company's 2015 gross domestic product showed a 26% increase, and close to $270 billion of intangible assets suddenly appeared in Ireland as the year began – more than the entire value of all residential property in Ireland.
Apple now holds $252 billion offshore. However, Apple has previously publicly stated that it reinvests post-tax earnings (generated outside the US) into the global economy via investment funds held offshore.
How do you feel as a working-class citizen who does not have access to offshore tax havens?

13.4 million documents is more than a lot, especially if some of them are lengthy (and boring) financial statements.

I'm thinking whether it would be moral, ethical and legal to call for credit score rating transparency?

Maybe it is Ultra Magic Hut 4 situation that not a single person knows the whole algorithm, otherwise, it would be made public already?

Obtaining landline to achieve better credit score?

Asked a question: https://money.stackexchange.com/questions/111164/virtual-landline-to-achieve-better-credit-score-is-that-a-worthy-investment Got a reply. Got some downvotes. I find it fascinating that in 2019 era of surveillance, privacy awareness, GDPR, we ask you for a cookie, cannot visit a website because you are in the EU, people are freely giving away their home addresses: https://www.thephonebook.bt.com/person/ I really find it fascinating. People are no longer using landlines. And yet there is some code in some computer system that gives you a number to be used in yet another computer system.
