If you have a long time horizon and invest in a broad-based index fund, why do you even care about short term volatility? If you need to withdraw money within the next few years, then yes volatility matters. But in that case, you might be better off not investing in stocks and go with less risky stuff.

If stock market always goes up in the long run, I bet you can mathematically prove that just investing all your money as soon as you have it beats any dollar cost averaging where you just invest a small amount in frequent intervals (and keep some of your money in cash).

Money is just a number on the ledger for the government. They can just give back everyone's deposits or maybe wait for a few months until it becomes a major crisis and then bail out everyone. The investors and shareholders of SVB are going to lose everything, but the depositors will be fine.

It made sense to lock everything down when we did not have an effective vaccine. Now we do. Why is Xi forcing lock downs instead of vaccinating people? Covid is endemic now just like flu or cold. It's never going away. His strategy just doesn't make sense anymore.

I wish it was just a cold war. It has turned into a real fucking disaster. Despot Putin does not seem to be backing off, and perhaps will destroy all of Ukraine's vital infrastructure no matter the cost. If Ukrainians still stand still, he will not hesitate to use nuclear weapons.

Another bigot. So hard to please everyone.

Good god! It must be really hard to make anything these days. If you don't put enough people of color, people will shout of bigotry. If you include a few, some will accuse of wokeness and review bomb it to hell. I'm just glad that the show got made!

Daily morning and afternoon exposure to bright light might actually be more important to reducing depression than direct vitamin D supplementation. Low vitamin D might just be an indicator that you are not getting enough sunlight. Sunlight also affects melatonin and serotonin levels, and synchronizes your Circadian rhythm. Not sure why that article doesn't talk about Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and how bright light therapy is considered an effective treatment for it.

So any study you don't like is propaganda or fake news? Did you personally get attacked because you are one of the vaccine hesitants?

I don't see where your law contradicts with what the article is saying. After Alibaba cloud researcher found the vulnerability, they first reported it to Apache foundation right away. Waited until the issue was resolved by Apache before disclosing it to the government and the wider developer community. So, Chinese government wants the information "within 2 days" before the issue is fixed.

By forcing Chinese developers to report zero-days to the government first before it is actually fixed, China is trying to get an upper hand in weaponizing zero day vulnerabilities.

I don't know what fantasy well-functioning economy you are taking about. You had to manually call a taxi company, and wait for an hour for a taxi that might now even show up.
