I can confirm that I keep seeing Economist's predictions re China debt not pan out, though I started paying attention only ~10 years ago. Do you have any books to recommend on China's financial system to help give…
$3.6B is at peak valuation. The actual contributions maybe much lower?
"read some Marx"... do you have some book in mind? Perhaps some good summary? I hear Capital is hard to parse. So far my experience in trying to distill Marx is that he did reasonable assessment of the state of affairs…
How do you invest in gold?
I agree that the number of games compared to established platforms is small. But what can you expect? This is a new entrant, all the new platforms faced similar issues. Some overcome it, some didn't, we'll see how it…

Looking at the overflowing hospitals in Wuhan, I'm preparing for the possibility of being mildly sick at home and not being able to get a bed in the hospital. The best hope is then that somehow we reduce chance of…
Transparency is good and all, but there is anther way. In most advanced economies professional bureaucracy figures out the costs. Ordinary folks focus on getting healthy, not on costs.
Perhaps you are right --- Amazon would not be punished in this way. But likely you are right for different reasons than you think? US government can put US executives in jail. I'm sure it would put them in jail. You…

Bigger picture is that agents conventionally get 6%, which is obnoxious in the Internet age. Sure 1% maybe is not much, but anything that helps to squeeze that industry is great. No?
Try Google search for "TPP impact study". There are quite a few reputable studies done. According to [0], the impact to the US would be small and positive when compared to baseline no-TPP scenario (e.g. 0.07% employment…
Many are upset about proposed dispute resolution regime ('suing'), but is it much different from how WTO works? AFAIK in WTO countries sue other countries on behalf of their corporations [0]. BTW, your first citation is…
Was that Apple vulnerability actively exploited in the wild during the delay?
Why rumors are "a huge problem" in China? Is it because common folk is too easy to fool? If so, wouldn't April's fools day improve critical thinking?
What sort of transparency would satisfy you in this case?

Someone: can you explain why Swiss National Bank could not sustain keeping the value if Frank low against Euro? It seems like the only thing they need to do is to purchase more Euros with Francs they print, right? I…
