    China: Housing prices in Shenzhen started to fall fast
    • Shenzhen should be one of the most difficult cities to buy a house. According to data, the housing price-to-income ratio in Shenzhen has exceeded 40. Under such circumstances, ordinary people can only afford a house if they save money all the time from the beginning of their work to retirement age. Because since the end of 2019, the housing prices in Shenzhen have been rising, and then they rose so much so city took first place in the country. Even at the beginning of this year, the average housing prices in Shenzhen once exceeded 90,000 yuan! But recently, the housing prices in Shenzhen have dropped significantly.

      According to data from China House Price Market, the average house price in Shenzhen in October was only 65,724 yuan per square meter, ranking third in the country. As the housing price is still very high, but compared with the price of over 90,000 yuan in Shenzhen at the beginning of the year, the price is already much cheaper. So the question is, as a first-tier city with strong economic strength, why did Shenzhen's housing prices fall so drastically?

      In my opinion, the very important reason why housing prices in Shenzhen will appear is the guiding price policy for second-hand housing. Since Shenzhen issued a document on February 7 to establish guidance prices for second-hand houses in more than 3,000 communities in the city, the price of second-hand houses in Shenzhen has fallen sharply. It is said that the prices of some residential areas have fallen by almost half compared to the previous ones. Under such circumstances, it is normal for the housing prices in Shenzhen to fall to more than 60,000.

    Capitalism: Family income directly affects child brain development
    • image

      Socioeconomic disparities are associated with differences in cognitive development. The extent to which this translates to disparities in brain structure is unclear. We investigated relationships between socioeconomic factors and brain morphometry, independently of genetic ancestry, among a cohort of 1,099 typically developing individuals between 3 and 20 years of age. Income was logarithmically associated with brain surface area. Among children from lower income families, small differences in income were associated with relatively large differences in surface area, whereas, among children from higher income families, similar income increments were associated with smaller differences in surface area. These relationships were most prominent in regions supporting language, reading, executive functions and spatial skills; surface area mediated socioeconomic differences in certain neurocognitive abilities. These data imply that income relates most strongly to brain structure among the most disadvantaged children.

      The tests showed that participants in the experiment from poor families read worse, concentrate, remember and have less vocabulary. Noble concludes that by the age of two, the differences in the brains of the rich and the poor are noticeable. On average, the cognitive test scores of a child from a family in need will be 60% lower. There is also evidence that financial pressures reduce gray matter and interfere with the connected work of different parts of the brain. In addition, chronic stress negatively affects the functioning of the hippocampus and amygdala, which are responsible for memory and emotional responses.

    Mordor: TOR blocking started, total DPI to block all VPN coming soon
    • Since December 1st, some Internet providers in Russia have started to block access to Tor. Today, we've learned that the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor), a Russian government bureaucratic entity, is threatening to censor our main website (torproject.org). Russia is the country with the second largest number of Tor users, with more than 300,000 daily users or 15% of all Tor users. As it seems this situation could quickly escalate to a country-wide Tor block.

      Main TOR site also is banned in Russia.

      Scared bureaucracy is trying to copy Chinese methods, but both of them will face same fate.

    War: Fur is prohibited, meat will follow
    • image

      Fashion magazine ELLE is banning fur from the pages of all its international editions in a move to support animal welfare and reflect changing tastes, the publication said on Thursday.

      Hailing a "fur-free future," ELLE senior vice president and international director Valeria Bessolo LLopiz told Reuters: "It's a really great opportunity to increase awareness for animal welfare, bolster the demand for sustainable and innovative alternatives and foster a more humane fashion industry."

      Each of the magazine's 45 global editions has signed a charter to ban editorial content promoting animal fur on its printed pages and its online and social mediate sites, Bessolo LLopiz said at The Business of Fashion’s VOICES 2021 conference.

    War: World Inequality Report 2022
    • The pandemic has greatly increased wealth inequality. It is noted that approximately 2,750 billionaires control 3.5% of the state of the entire world, while in 1995 this share was only 1%.

      During the pandemic, global wealth inequality rose at a record pace, according to the study. According to researchers, the combined wealth of the poorest half of all humanity is equal to only 2% of the wealth of the richest people in the world.

      Income inequality is greatest in the Middle East and North Africa, where the richest 10% of the population owns almost 60% of the region's total income. Sub-Saharan Africa (57%) is in second place, followed by Latin America (55%) and South and Southeast Asia (53%).

      In Russia and the countries of Central Asia, the richest 10% of citizens own 48% of total income, in North America - 45%. Property inequality is least expressed in Europe - the wealthiest 10% of the population have 36% of total income.
