The Nikkei high was wildly artificial; its price-to-earnings ratio indicated that there was an enormous bubble. The US stock market is (probably) currently inflated, but by a factor closer to 2 (or less) than 10.

(I've looked less into the price of gold, which has a weird place in people's minds and would require a lot more research than I've put into it.)

It's entirely possible, of course, that the US is entering a long-term economic disaster of a kind it has been courting for decades: government borrowing, student loans, Baby Boomer retirement, etc. But US companies have been earning money, and in general that does justify the belief that they merit a stock price that's roughly where it is now; somewhat lower, but not radically different.
They're only good because they were repeatedly given an infinite amount of money for 2 decades by investors while their retail operations lost money so that they could nail the implementation and the promise that they would figure out how to make it profitable.
There is also a matter of weighting. Some facts are known but viewed as uncorrelated or unimportant to the stock price. Facts may be obvious, but wrongly discarded as irrelevant.

I think of markets as a real-time implementation of information theory. There are certain facts that exist, and they are not all known although they may be discoverable. As they become known, or are considered more heavily, those facts bleed into market prices.

In this view, the market is a collective model of the world and thus it is not reflective of all true information.

The model overvalues the confidence and beliefs of people who have money. Sometimes, these people trade stock of companies that deal more with lower-income individuals. Their knowledge of those companies is limited, but over time they may converge toward a better understanding.

Also, sometimes there are errors in interpretation of easily discoverable facts. After 9/11, interest rates went down, but the market didn't price that into auto sales despite 0% interest auto loans being offered to the market.

The market is a model that perpetually converges to a set of facts that are constantly shifting. There is always a gradient (like osmotic pressure) between the model and the reality it represents, so there is always some motion in the market.

And there is always a set of expectations about the future that must be reflected in the model. These expectations have a wide variety of distributions, some are gaussian, others are bimodal, etc. That adds another layer of complexity in getting the model to converge to an appropriate expected value.

Not only that, but several different assets are interlinked. For example, if you buy a large block of call options on a high-volatility name, the market-maker will probably buy stock as a hedge. But in the absence of an upcoming event, he will buy patiently over the course of several trading days in order to minimize the price change resulting from his purchase ("delta impact"). So the market knows that the market-maker traded options, but he has an incentive to hide his hedging activity from other market participants so that they don't front-run him. As a result, it takes time for the purchase of the delta via options to be reflected in the underlying stock -- even though the options trade was printed on the exchange immediately and publicly.

Even if markets were efficient to known information, their price moves do not arrive at equilibrium instantaneously. There is an information gradient -- a kind of osmotic pressure between what is truly happening and what is reflected in the price -- that takes time to normalize itself.

Why? A given viewer is going to watch how many minutes of content a day? Even accepting for a wide spectrum of preferences, there's no reason PornHub needs three hours of new content a minute. Nobody's "already watched everything on PornHub", have they? If they can't manage it ethically, they shouldn't be allowed to.

The department with masks had zero personnel infections, the department without masks had 20.

Assuming your conclusions as your premise is known as circular reasoning. There's abundant evidence to the contrary for your claim; lies are documented to spread faster than truth, and while truth generally wins out over the long run (because environmental facts have a way of asserting themselves over mere beliefs), accumulated false beliefs can dominate long enough to be disastrous.

The problem with the whole 'marketplace of ideas' schtick is that it ignores the feedback loop which makes it more profitable to invest in lies so you can make money investing in lies.

It could also drive up competition for good labor and increase turnover at other locations as more try to "move up" to a better paying location.

When I was in my late teens, I worked tech support at a given location... A new call center for another company opened up paying about 25% more. This had a lot of people switching jobs and pay overall for the area for that type of work went up. Other companies relaxed or offered other benefits (subsidized vending machines and food trucks, for example).

If 1% of the market for employees moves, that can have sweeping impacts overall. Take WinCo vs Walmart as another example. The shear impact of the appearance of a better workplace will often drive foot traffic, especially combined with competitive pricing. Brand image is a thing, and how a company treats it's labor is part of a brand's image.
This post looked kind of weird to me so I looked up the whois, it's registered to godaddy. Which is odd because it is not the same registrar as amazon.com or aws, and aws operates a domain registration service so I can't imagine a real amazon service would use godaddy. Combined with the fact that there's no concrete plans set in place, it seems really fake.

Well, consider that in the US, televangelists sell cures for cancer and even coronavirus. Some people in this country also read horoscopes and consult psychics.

Yet, the US is not an unscientific paleolithic society. Superstition will always exist because ignorance is the natural state of the human mind.

When you are ignorant you can believe anything: like that eating ground horns or other phallic exotic animal products will make you virile, or you may believe that raising funds to buy a private jet for an ignorant preacher that never read the sacred book he preaches about will gain you the favor of a bearded male deity that cares about what happens in a rock in the middle of nowhere, or you may also believe that doing something for 10000 hours equals mastery.

> If the masks were useless healthcare workers wouldn't wear them

That's not how that works. The masks are less effective when used outside of a clinical setting, must be changed regularly (pretty much every time you take it off), and may prevent the transfer of disease from an infected healthcare worker to an otherwise vulnerable person.

Just because they're not effective for one situation doesn't mean all the advice is moot

Correct in principle — from what I recall, leverage ETFs' beta decay over time is caused by the overhead of the leverage. You can see this with SH, for example; while it seems to perfectly mirror SPX, there's a slow rate of value loss over time.

However, if you look at ETFs like TMF over time, short-term gains easily overcome the decay. If you'd invested in TMF on Jan 1, you'd be up 92% now.

And it's not like options and shorts don't come with premiums. There's no free lunch, but there's the possibility of returns wildly beyond your initial investment.

If they're collecting money, be it W-2 or 1099, they have to disclose their real name and social security number as it is to whoever is paying them, for tax purposes. Generally to the studio hiring them, but if they publish directly to a monetized platform, they'd have to provide the same to the website as part of collecting their share of ad revenue. So there's really no excuse for PornHub not to either directly verify performers or verify that publishers have all of the performers credentials in order.

Beyond that, of course, it's important for adult actors to be able to be represented publicly solely by their stage name. PornHub knowing both actually adds an additional protective layer, as PornHub could filter/block appearances of their legal name.

I definitely agree the court system should uphold pseudonyms and anonymity when revealing their legal name in public records and hearings has the potential for significant harm, but that's a very different issue than the record-keeping that adult film producers are already required to do.
I've had too many issues with self scan, I absolutely avoid them, and if a company eliminates all their non-self checkout, I'll go elsewhere. If I literally have 5 or so items, I'll use self checkout, anything more, nope.

The first time I brought a full cart through self checkout, that's when I understood road rage, so to speak. I was never so annoyed and angry and wanted to just walk out and leave it behind so much. "Please place item in the bag... please remove item from the bag... please place..." It may well be better, or getting better, but I'm out of the experiment.

-- edit:

Since then, there have been two times, I did walk out and leave my cart behind... one of those times about half a dozen others did the same. It was a Walmart, and the Friday before a holiday (Christmas was Sunday that year iirc). It was 6pm, and they had literally closed half their registers with an average of 11 carts in each line left. I had a full cart including a lot of refrigerated and frozen items. The other time was similar but less extreme at another store (not walmart).

In the end, some of us will pay a little more for actual people doing actual customer service and interaction. I tried the scan and go a couple times, and frankly it wasn't really any better. It seems that Millenials and Z are so averse to interaction, I just don't get it.

Plus if you follow a textbook approach with some % stocks / bonds you'll end up buying when the market dips and selling when it goes up (since if stocks go up you'll have to sell a little to bring the percent back down and vice versa). So if the market swings up and down a lot you get a little extra.
Competition does not "take care of the problem". There are counteracting forces that act through competition, and competition is inherently only partially restorative. It reduces incentives but does not eliminate them. Companies will only abandon early obsolensence to the point that it is profitable, which depends almost only on the customers naivete.

Worse, that viewpoint ignores the obvious and numerous counterexamples... Everything from apple (semi-reasonably but certainly in their own interest) killing batteries in older phones to outright conspiracy like the lightbulb mafia.

> This is what happened when Honda and Toyota came along as the US carmakers were making very unreliable cars.

You will note that US automakers are still some of the least reliable in the world. Its also ridiculous to suggest that japanese cars outcompete because of reliability. It was cost. It was also power, size, and quality. In fact when the civic took off in the US it was still not that reliable. Toyota and honda didnt get their current reputation until the mid 90s.
I suspect Amazon will not be licensing this as a traditional tech license -- they are more likely to take a percentage of your revenue. Just like their online store. Amazon gains in two ways: (1) percentage of your revenue and (2) data such as what is selling well in your store, which they will then use to compete against you. Just like their online store.

These concern only about a handful of genes that have been the subject of very intense selective pressure and has little to do with how phylogeny classifications are done with entire genomes at large. Not only that, this selective pressure often results in evolutionary convergence (all populations in malarial latitudes have some modicum of resistance to malaria, not just Africans) and the resulting shared traits don't say anything about populations are classified.

As a sibling comment points out, the value of ACA plans may vary quite a bit from state to state. I don't know how it is elsewhere, but here in Colorado the major insurance companies only provide a special, lousy version of their product on the marketplace. It's not uncommon to find health providers that claim to take Anthem or Cigna insurance, for example, only to show up and be told that "Anthem Pathway" and "Cigna Connect" don't count. Astonishingly, they don't seem to be willing to sell regular plans to individuals for any amount of money. (Source: self-employed.)
