Circle works with a wide variety of regulatory agencies around the world. I'm not aware of anything the SEC has said publicly about USDC.

We work with a number of banking partners around the world but generally don't publicize this information.

Circle will begin publishing its USDC-related reports on centre.io after public launch. We have engaged Grant Thornton LLP to apply on a monthly basis certain agreed-upon procedures to assist management regarding the accuracy of USD reserve balances for the USD stablecoin tokens issued as set forth by the Company.

We will hold exactly one USD for one token. In the future, we may also invest these fiat funds in highly-liquid, AAA-rated fixed income securities.

The coins minted by both Circle and Coinbase are mutually fungible. You could acquire USDC from one and redeem it at the other. Support for multiple issuers is an important differentiator for USDC.

More information on this is available at https://support.usdc.circle.com/hc/en-us/articles/3600152783...

It's worrying that academia is slowly turning into a rigid "appeal to authority" church rather than a space for truth and inquiry.
I’m not sure you’d like it. I recent upgraded from a 5s with a new battery to a 7.

It was night and day in terms of performance. In particular, Siri works much better.

Developers assume the performance of the latest, so they don’t realize how slow things act on older devices.
While I agree jumping to the conclusion that they're unreliable and flaky is ridiculous, being "polite" like that does no one any favors.

Just be honest and explain you've been caught up with higher priority issues and haven't made progress. That gives the asker an opportunity to explain why the task is more important than you thought, find someone else with less on their plate to do it, or at the very least understand what's taking so long.
In many countries, it is illegal to under-fund your pension scheme

In the U.K. Gordon Brown made it illegal to over-fund a pension, leading many companies to have to take “contribution holidays” when markets were buoyant. Surprise surprise, when markets went down not only were the plans underfunded, there was no spare cash to make up the shortage. One of the many blunders of the worst Chancellor in living memory.
The AI Cold War That Could Doom Us All
Solving the problem at scale requires a process change. It is driven by a conscious effort, and it is a slow outcome (think 100s of years). The process requires drafting and following the rule of law, and never side-stepping, or short-circuiting for personal gains.

This killing of Jamal was a short-circuit with no positive consequence. It is barbaric, and regression due to extremists in USA, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. I cannot equate a trolly problem to this scenario.
In perl5 $foo is never a class member either.

Also, you can use 'our' to restrict access to a global to a specific scope.

Also, javascript now has 'use strict' (stolen from perl5) which prevents that problem there too.

citing "anonymous", if it is unclear who the author is, is nothing new. I did that a long time ago when I a cited something from the nmap man page in a paper for university .

Sounds like you have a minimal foot print other than maybe the flights but still below average.

Instead of spending time calculating your foot print so precisely:

Volunteer more in your community

Help elderly neighbors

Stay in closer contact with family and friends, visit them more (even if you fly)

Exercise more

Get out and enjoy nature

Get out and see the sights in your area

Sounds like you have a good general idea of what will reduce your carbon footprint, nice work.

Now focus on what your footprint on life will be, focus on helping others and enjoying life.

Best lower bound for the min. length of superpermutations proved by wikiuser
I actually feel that the response here is a great one:

"I feel like you should be able (forced even!) to cite things that aren't journal articles- even blog posts- if they contributed to your body of work. But citing things that aren't prestigious reduces the perceived prestige of your own, which is a perverse incentive not to cite."

EDIT: I can't seem to figure out how to link to specific tweets, so this is the guy that said it: https://twitter.com/_delta_zero

He has a great point. If the proof is correct, you should cite the raw document. If you have to cite it through a proxy scholar, it feels like a form of gate keeping.
How to use push notifications to increase sales on your e-Commerce
The Go board can be thought of as having nine regions, if you imagine breaking it into squares of the same size, like a tic tac toe board. Later in the game you may have developed such a strong position in the "northwest" region of the board that when your opponent places a stone there, it isn't important for you to respond immediately in that region - it'd take many turns for your opponent to have a chance of being a real threat in that area. So, you play elsewhere on the board.
It may not affect the validity of the argument, but it may suggest something about the motivations of the person making the argument.

Each person's idea of where something sits on the spectrum of right and wrong differs.

If someone is being hypocritical, it can lead people to question the motive behind the words.
I personally wouldn't buy something like this from a classifieds site. But that's because I expect you're just as like to get a cardboard cutout of an iPhone as you are an actual iPhone. If you've used these sites before and are comfortable with them, I'm sure there's options there.

I don't know what it's like in the US, but here (SE Asia) there is a massive market for second-hand smart phones/tablets, usually from places that also do repairs of such devices. Go to any shopping mall in Thailand and (usually on the top floor) there will be dozens of places with devices of varying age.

I don't think Apple's official refurbished stuff will be in the price range you're looking (they only have 7's from what I can see) but I'm sure you can find them somewhere.
> He was told by a few companies just didn't think he'd be happy at the wages they were paying and refused to hire him. This was despite explaining that he just wanted to do a job without the stress and go home. This was despite explaining he didn't need as much money now as his needs were less.

It makes sense from the company's perspective. Better for them to have a worker who will be a little stressed by the job, who isn't doing it as a low-stress "coast", and, most importantly, who really needs the money.
This litterally answers none of my questions.

I have no issues at all with creating gender neutral pronouns... most often, including gender information adds nothing to the value of what’s being conveyed.

I am annoyed at losing “they” as a plural though, because number often does add useful information. I’d much rather we invented a new pronoun.

That shop has sailed though, so I try not to worry about it anymore.

Cognitive Complexity [pdf]
Robert X. Cringely – Remembering Paul Allen
Well it's more complicated than that. We mourn jobs that are sent overseas. But a lot of things can be made much cheaper elsewhere and we as consumers benefit from cheaper prices. It's just in an argument about jobs, people don't want to argue the whole picture and the complexities of trade. They want their cheaper prices, and they want all those jobs too, and they want decent wages, and they want someone else to figure out how to make that possible.

The other problem is all the people crying about jobs going overseas aren't the same people crying for wealth equality necessarily. So again, it's incorrect to lump everyone and every viewpoint together when it's really a huge spectrum.

And on top of all that I would argue that arguing wealth inequality in the U.S. is fine because it exists in the rest of the world is a red herring. For starters, no nation, not even the U.S. is solely responsible for the state of the world and economies in every other country. And secondly, no nation is under any obligation to address the world's problems before addressing its own. And it's not effective to avoid the issue by shifting the scope around arbitrarily.

Health tourism absolutely is a thing. There are even companies that specialize in arranging it. However, my understanding is that it predominantly falls into two categories, neither of which is particularly about exploiting systems like the NHS:

1) People traveling to e.g. the US or Israel to get procedures that aren't available in their home country.

2) People traveling from high-cost to low-cost countries and paying everything out-of-pocket because even forgoing insurance and adding travel costs still leaves it drastically cheaper than their home country.

There are some cases of people scamming government-funded healthcare, but I think those have been sensationalized by the press.
How to use ORY Hydra as your OAuth2.0 server
Looks like its you claiming that hill from where I am standing. This is about the most uncontriversial position ever. Stallman literally just published his pronoun post on his personal site stallman.org. He seems to have left his personal views out, as I see no mention of his pet version of a genderless pronoun construct.

I personally find it polite to call people what they wish, given it does not unreasonably burden my natural expression. No contradiction here with compelled speech or free speech, which are hills I am quite literally willing to die on.

This seems along those lines, allowing further investment by those interested in less common pronouns to express themselves, while not burdening those who are not, while respecting everyone by setting clear expectations for conduct.

Can you expand on your objection? Perhaps I missed nuance...

I would cite the wiki with a note in the citation that the wiki was a copy of the 4chan thread. And I'd put a copy on an web archive service. WebCite was mentioned in the Twitter thread: http://www.webcitation.org/

If this isn't credible enough for most academics, then I think they have their priorities wrong. I want to cite the best work, not just work that looks good superficially. I assume that the claim that this is the best known lower bound is true. In that case, if I am writing a relevant paper, it's my duty to cite the result regardless of where it came from as far as I am concerned.

The ThinkWiki still seems to be a good source of information, though pretty much everything 'just works' on ThinkPads under Linux. I'm not sure it has information on Hackintoshing, but I've seen detailed instructions elsewhere[1], though I've never tried it.

I seem to be incapable of using Touchpads/Trackpads properly without getting frustrated. It was only after I 'discovered' ThinkPads that I was able to use a laptop as a device that sat on top my lap (rather than having to have somewhere I could use a mouse). Whenever I have to try to use a colleague's Mac laptop, I feel like a clumsy idiot trying to use the touchpad.

So it would be better if you pass different programming puzzles and did basic tech interview once per 3 month (for example). And companies based on your results will invite you for 2 interviews. Something like:
1) Welcome interview, where you can ask any questions about company and they can ask any questions about your personality.
2) More detailed tech interview that related to your future job?

It will save time for you because you will not answer for any basic tech questions 5 times per day. You did it only once per 3 month for example. Is it good option?

If you want an example of how many people it takes to create a cellphone, Google bought HTCs Pixel phone team, which amounted to around 4000 people. This likely includes all the software engineers that do driver work as well, but it worth noting the size.

You can get away with smaller teams if you take the full package that Qualcomm gives (they do most or all of driver work for you). You saw what Essential Products was able to create with around 120 people, but they were heavily using work from other companies to launch it.

The Carbonate Silicate cycle you linked also states:

>These dissolved minerals are eventually carried by water to the ocean, where they are used by living organisms such as foraminifera, radiolarians, coccolithopores, and diatoms to create shells of CaCO3 (calcite) or SiO2 (opal) through the reactions Ca2+ (aq) + 2HCO3−
(aq) → CaCO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) (for calcite precipitation) and SiO2(aq) → SiO2(s) (for opal precipitation).

Observe how half of the carbon is transformed back into CO2, and of the remaining half most will simply return carbonate after death and it's just a small portion of the latter half that falls to the sea floor to end up buried...
I was furious with that. First off, all I knew was that invites were being sent out on Tuesday. Then after intermittently refreshing my inbox all morning and into the early afternoon, I went to Twitter and saw some people claiming they don’t get sent out until 10 PM Pacific. Thought it strange for them to come so far outside of business hours; not to mention 10 PM Pacific is 12 AM Central (my time), 1 AM Eastern. But I stayed up past my bedtime and still, nothing. At 1 AM Central I finally said f it, and went to bed. This morning I got my rejection with a timestamp of 2:42 AM. Seriously?? Now I have to start my day off with a rejection instead of ending my day with a rejection where I could sleep on it and probably feel better in the morning. So incredibly inconsiderate.
