Same thing happened with hidden Antarctica bases in 2018.

Slightly related, I've been wanting to invest in SK Hynix since early '23. Does anyone know how a US investor can get access to the stock? I haven't found any brokers that allow you to trade Korea Exchange tickers.

You get "division".

There never was rampant inflation (in the sense of the term of expanding money supply). It was all driven by the increased prices supply shock driven "inflation". The solution to high prices ("inflation") is high prices, not increased interest rates.

Yes, to clarify, I do believe that.

New comment by thehumanmeat in "WTF Happened in 1971? (2019)"

thehumanmeat — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 16:51:16 +0000

The US left the gold standard well before 1971. Central banks do not create currency, they create bank reserves. There is no indication that it drives money creation. Let me know where I can spend bank reserves to buy goods and services. Money is created from banks, and mostly done so off-shore away from the purview of the central bank. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurodollar

Because SNDL is a long planned attack for secrets that have a long life time.

None, it can actually be any constant > 1/2, because you can always run the algorithm a non-exponential number of more times to be more convinced (approaching prob 1) of the answer. 2/3 is just convention.

thehumanmeat — Fri, 22 Mar 2024 20:23:42 +0000

There's no point in defining a "target" when the Fed has no control over the vast portion of dollar creation/destruction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurodollar

Quantum ML will be game changing. Running model training on a quantum computer can find GLOBAL minima/maxima in fractions of a second, depending on the number and quality of the qubits of course.

thehumanmeat — Wed, 03 May 2023 01:09:18 +0000

That needs to go back to the 80s to capture the SnL crisis. It dwarfs 08 in bank failures. It better indicates the conglomeration of the many banks into the few we have today.

Just because it is a gambling den, doesn't mean there aren't truly revolutionary ideas and projects in there. Same as 2000 tech.

The argument can go both ways.
