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.

So what is the point of being a field ?
You get "division".

What are you spouting? They’re trying to achieve a soft landing, who wants a recession at the fed?
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.

You think the US is bankrupting you by stealing your money? Specifically: USAID, FAA, Government Watchdog agencies, and whatever other group that has been dismantled by now? Those are the high priority agencies stealing our hard earned money?
Not the guys who all of a sudden have a 100 billion dollars since 2010?
Yes, to clarify, I do believe that.
Economically the US left the gold standard which meant currency could be created by the central bank. This caused inflation to rise but also meant that more capital could be raised in the economy, which wasn't as easy to do when the amount of dollars were fixed. Double edged sword kind of thing.
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.

For a long time I wondered why there was such a big push for PQ even though there was no quantum computer and a reasonably working one was always 15 years in the future.
… or was there a quantum computer somewhere and it was just kept hush hush, hence the push for PQ?
The answer turns out to be: it doesn’t matter if there is a quantum computer! The set of PQ algorithms has many other beneficial properties besides quantum resistance.
Because SNDL is a long planned attack for secrets that have a long life time.

Market cap is now close to ~$11B, for a company that over the last 12 months burned ~$240M in cash. Revenues declined by ~11%. Net cash on hand is ~$600M. It's hard to justify purchasing the shares at the current price based on the company's recent results. Its future prospects don't seem particularly promising either.
A stock's price is set by the marginal buyer and seller. For example, a single share that trades at 50% less than the last price instantly brings market cap down by 50%. Once all the retail investors loading up on the stock have purchased as much as they can hold, very little marginal trading volume can bring the stock price back down.

> BPP is the complexity class for decision problems that a randomized algorithm can solve in polynomial time, in the sense that on every input (worst-case), the algorithm is right with at least 2/3 probability (over its own randomness).
What's the theoretical significance of the 2/3 threshold?
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.

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
thehumanmeat commented on Joe Rogan Gets New Spotify Deal Worth Up to $250M wsj.com/business/media/jo... · Posted by u/mikece
I left Spotify when they signed Rogan the first time. Rogan was spreading disinformation about COVID, that was potentially dangerous. Rogan's fans trust him and information they hear on his show, and when that information is potentially dangerous, that is unethical on Rogan's part.
Also, Spotify pay artists the least of the streaming services per track. I don't consider Spotify ethical.
Oh and after being treated to lossless fidelity streaming on other platforms, Spotify sounds like trash.
Don't use Spotify.
Remember when CNN turned him yellow?
