Not sure if you've heard this as well, but Astra and Gamelaya are actually trialing a combination vaccine (1 AZ dose, 1 Sputnik-V dose).

I'd consider the area pretty fortified. The US has military bases in both South Korea and Japan, and they just sold billions of dollars worth of cutting edge weapons to Taiwan.

And that's why all those countries are firmly beholden to the US, for protection.

I've never seen that cited as a credible risk by any institutional investor. It's almost all just sanction risk.

My bet is they consider Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea well within their sphere of influence (and control), so no urgency there.

Would you the same about foreigners who use American services? Does it warrant losing their jobs and criminal charges in their respective countries?

The Russian stock market is considered the most undervalued in the world (CAPE ratio), but the political risk is just too high. The dividend yields alone are nuts.

Inflation statistics only include the interest payments on mortgages, since the principle is considered recoverable. It's misleading by design.

The service must be sustained somehow. Either through ads or fees. I don't understand why people act like they can avoid ads, and enjoy a free service. Hopefully there is a paid option that hides ads. Would you pay for it?

How could you access end-to-end encrypted cloud storage from multiple devices? It's still encrypted, and in multiple jurisdictions so a legal order in any single jurisdiction only decrypts one layer of encryption. "Telegram is a c

It's not the affordability, it's the leverage. A $1 increase on a $1 investment is already a 100% return. And it's much easier to imagine a coin to go from $1 to $2 then it is to go from $20k to $40k.

And yet the Iran deal is gone and not coming back, and recently the US has pushed Arab states to normalize relations with Israel.

They are likely computing the target of the user's gaze. It's valuable information for twitter and advertisers. Did the ad draw the user's attention?

Not defending that guy's claim, but relevant: do you know where the word 'slave' comes from?
