Maybe USDT keeps reserves in BTC. But anyway, in panic moment on crypto markets the real USD will be in demand. Some exchanges may not survive the run as there is not enough money there to pay everyone even $1k for BTC. Exchanges collapsing will take a lot of BTC with them (see history).
I had no idea from the dapr website that it's a Microsoft project... that's an interesting approach. They're not even listed among the companies supposedly using dapr!

I'm not saying it's nefarious, it's kind of refreshing to let the project succeed on its own merits.
That's so scummy (but also kind of funny, just the sheer audacity of Comcast). Honestly, I feel like that's so bald-faced and abusive on Comcast's part that the regulators might be interested in your story

Australia only has leverage if other countries in Oceania g8/13 etc join in to the demands.

To be fair, I've had the same experience with the Wall Street Journal (you must speak to a human and they try to give a few months free) and French newpaper Le Monde (where I even had to pay 5.50 euros to cancel via certified mail).

On the contrary, canceling my yearly membership with Barnes and Noble was a breeze.
I do enjoy losing money so I might give this a shot.

I already have puts on RIOT and MSTR. With Elon jumping in perhaps he has some insider info that I don't, or he just enjoys manipulating markets and pump n' dumping. If Tether collapses and it dings TSLA, maybe that's just his way of telling everyone the stock price is too high.
Aircraft carriers?

Ultimately, the dollar is backed by US military force.

Historically, atremps to debase markets from US dollars have been met with military intervention (khadafi et al). This enforces a relationship between dollar value and global resource value.

The US military is so vast that it has no legitimate challenger on any strategic scale, and nuclear deterrent is traditionally irrelevant to this type of threat model.

I used to work with one of the CEOs, Doug. He was the first “adult” at Facebook and apparently helped create Facebook Photos. Quite impressive. Also after being heavily diluted at GoodRX, he and the other CEO managed to get new stock grants worth $500M at IPO. Wow.
Hopefully you can now move your Starlink around. Being pinned to one address greatly reduces the value of Starlink to me. I had planned to use it off-grid with an RV trailer setup.
So did the bank close an account with a lot of money in it, or did you write a cheque for an empty account?
Instead of shorting it, you can do this:

1. Lock up your USD to USDC (get some ETH for gas)

2. Go to https://app.compound.finance/

3. Deposit the USDC as collateral

4. Borrow USDT (Tether)

5. Sell the borrowed USDT to USDC

6. Wait until USDT implodes to $0

If USDT implodes to $0 then you'll have nothing to pay back.

You can even deposit the USDC to, say, Yearn and cancel out your interest expense.

Of course, I do not expect USDT imploding anytime soon, so don't do this. Although it's often the preferred stablecoin to borrow because when it does implode, you will be lucky (assuming it goes under the peg).
Honestly based on Tesla's self driving pre order strategy, I fully expect them to have no plans to roll out to Slovenia but are taking pre-orders anyway
The point is, that it's not a static situation, but can get worse. I don't know what you are doing, but we are a normal SaaS company. The current situation is that we can pretty much avoid problems with Apple and Google like Netflix is doing.

But if FAANG are allowed to go rampant, eventually they will grapple us like they have done for the game industry. And it will not end with us, they will continue to expand their umbrella until there is regulation.

OR - our kids will live in a world where FAANG gets 30% of all transactions and it will look like CP2077. If we don't get regulation, we can all just sell our current businesses and buy FAANG stock.

And I'm not happy with the current situation. I think game industry too deserves to be free of the tax and FAANG administered regulation.

Think about the regulation in the shoes of a business owner. Apple decides if you can make business - they can make a fair sounding rule, but your business is affected by weird chance or by Apple employee mistake. The business you built, the one with all the good intentions and the users in the center, disappears.
You're assuming if the wheels fall off Circle will be around to pay you back.

I don't know who would bail them out, considering that bitcoin is an unregulated international currency. It isn't tied to any government or national entity. It doesn't belong to any jurisdiction. I don't think bitcoin "investors" have any lobbying power either.
> In theory you should be able to arbitrage by purchasing a bitcoin and shorting the futures contract to collect that sweet 2% per month

Variation margin. Shorting the future requires you put up cash. If the price goes up, you have to put up more cash. One could hedge away part of this by holding Bitcoin and borrowing against it. But those lending channels are costly and not presently reliable.

TL; DR That 27% spread [1] includes more than just systemic risk.

Loaded 3 wide, 2 high, 90 deep for space constraints, you'd be well over the gross weight limit.

Loaded to the weight limit, you can ballpark 48K pounds or 174 Powerwall 2s. Those would hold just under 2.5MWh, or just over $2K of electricity at $900/MWh.

If you figure the truck costs you $1.50/mile on the low side, it would cost you at least $1500 to drive Pensacola to Houston and back.

Probably not a retirement plan to (Power)bank on.
Sorry but my definition of a benefit cheat is much more liberal than the government's:

> Fraud: Cases where all three of the following conditions apply:

The conditions for receipt of benefit, or the rate of benefit in payment, are not being met

The claimant can reasonably be expected to be aware of the effect on entitlement

Benefit stops or reduces as a result of the review. [1] <

Firstly, the data is only from those who got caught. I would say there is probably a lot more that haven't been. Also, you can claim benefits by going to the job centre every so often, but you don't need to actually get a job.

Anecdotally, my mate's dad does this. He has been living off of benefits for 10+ years, even though he is more than able to work. If someone can get away with it for that long, how is the system not broken?

I closed an account with Santander and they sent the remaining monies in it to another bank account.

Then they accepted a charge on the account from a subscription I had forgotten to move, even though the account was closed, and because my account was then in deficit decided to reactivate my account without letting me know. Then they charged me an overdraft fee and daily penalties, and then eventually sent me a bill with like £120 of charges.

I challenged it and had to speak on the phone to people for ages. Eventually they took the charges off as a "one-off gesture of good faith" which annoyed me, because it still implies that it was my mistake and not theirs.
The Federal Reserve Bank in the US is exempt from Freedom of Information laws, and the reasoning is to prevent social pressure and politicization from influencing monetary policy.

Perhaps that is the UK's reason, besides wanting to keep projects related to national security or industry classified from foreign eyes. US government research grants often have pundits pointing out how trivial and wasteful they seem at first glance, and it sometimes leads to grants being redirected or cancelled entirely.
> The only thing that could cause a real collapse to sub 4 digits

Only thing? I agree that Tether’s collapse won’t be the end of Bitcoin. But if Tether collapses amid a real recession, i.e. one where incomes fall, that potential demand may not be able to act on its impulses. And note that Tether’s collapse and such a recession are correlated.
As also a Scandinavian, I find that I have neither much pride nor horror. I guess I am fascinated by our history without wanting to emulate it. Similarly, I am an adamant pacifist, but I nevertheless love WWII histories, novels, and movies. I don't want there to be another world war, but I am still fascinated by the ones we've had.

I do empathize with your feelings. I think they are natural of course. I do however wonder if there ever really was a time when chauvinism and sabre-rattling were not on the agenda? Maybe not to the same degree, perhaps. I do think the "better angels of our nature" trend will continue over the very long term. There are always rough periods.

Ultimately, I agree fully with your prescription. Those of us who love peace should promote peace. I think we can do so while acknowledging and exploring the dark sides of history. You know, the learn from our mistakes adage and all that.
The problem is that Teather advertises themselves as 'non-fractional'. They are meant to hold 100% reserves.

As for their actual holdings: "On 30 April 2019 Tether Limited's lawyer claimed that each tether was backed by only $0.74 in cash and cash equivalents"*

That's better than your pessimistic 5% estimate, assuming their statements can be trusted.
The most compelling things about NYTimes that keep me coming back are the site design and experience and Wirecutter. It's a shame that other news sites haven't been able to use design more to their advantage. (Fox News has pictures of race car drivers on it, it doesn't really say "professional" to me)

On the payments side, wouldn't be nice if Visa and Mastercard enforced easy-cancel subscription policies and punished businesses who didn't comply?
I've no experience with the bank named and assume it is in the US, but for what it is worth, in the UK people hardly ever pay for bank accounts. It does appear to be viable, although I'm not sure how it works.
Great point.

> My suspicion is that the concern with machine learning over racism is rooted in two things. The first is just the general modern trend of accusing anything you don't like of being racist, because everybody hates racism and wants to fight it. And the second is the fear on the part of people who make a living fighting racism that machine learning might actually put them out of a job.

I don't get to how you go from this statement, to then again explaining exactly how racism is embedded in algorithms. By using the biased data we have in the real world...
A "dizzying assortment of features" is not automatically a good thing.

The features need to be able to do useful things better somehow, and that's where articles demoing such applications come in.

"Better" also doesn't necessarily mean "more concise," otherwise APL would be one of the best programming languages. A language with a smaller number of accessible, comprehensible, memorable features can prove more useful in practice than one with a "dizzying assortment" that's hard to remember, difficult to read, etc.

Packages {X, Y, Z} in Indexes {A, B, C} are artifacts that are output from Builds (on workstations or servers with security policies) which build a build script (which is often deliberately not specified with a complete programming language in order to minimize build complexity; instead preferring YAML) which should be drawn from a stable commit hash in a Repository (which may be a copy of technically zero or more branches of a Repository hosted centrally next to Issues and Build logs and Build artifact Signing Keys).

Maxmimally, are there potentially more keyrings (or key authorization mappings between key and permission) than (1) commit; (2) merge; and (3) release?

I was wading through emails _begging_ to cancel their subscription. Some people were closing their bank accounts to do that, because the founders intentionally introduced dark patterns to hide the unsubscribe functionality.

I personally don't think routine cancellation policy should even be up to the business. Deliberately preventing customers from cancelling a subscription that they are entitled to cancel, or making it unreasonably difficult or intimidating to do so, should be grounds for legal or regulatory intervention to protect consumer rights.

A basic rule along the lines that subscription services must provide a means of cancelling that would normally be no more demanding than the means of starting the same subscription seems fair to me.

And Anglo-Saxons did pretty much the same to Britons, Gaels and Picts some 300 years earlier. And Romans did the same before them. That's how things were done back then, and I've read a number historians now saying that Viking raiders were neither more cruel, nor more violent than the others by the standards of those times, just the history we know was written by the other side - and importantly by Christians, while Viking raiders were pagans, so it was important to depict them as wild devils - the same way as Roman historians depicted conquered people as "barbaric", while in fact often Romans were acting far more savage than Moesians, Goths, Dacians and others.

Notice that demand for abducted children is inelastic in regard to number of children walking around the neighborhood. This means there are two equilibrium points of walking children market: first is letting them play as much as they wish, making probability of abduction of _your_ children as small as it can be; second is letting them out almost never, with probability of abduction for a walk being 1. Which of that do you prefer?
That's quite an extraordinary claim. Surely they don't do that for anything other than requests for the root document of a page, or if the request looks like it's been generated programmatically. That would be incredibly dumb to do that for normal requests for sub-resources on a page. It'd completely break the entire point of using a CDN.

Is there any documentation that states this is what happens, or is it only anecdotal?
There is a third group. Programmer as Artisan/Craftsman they recognize that it is a just a job, but they care about quality and their work most. People that would invest countless hours into their craft and would build applications that provide high value for both users and employer. They are mostly immune to corporate bullshit and have great IC careers.

People that have worse are "Just a Job" crowd that lack real programming skill. They would be quickly hit by ageism and their careers stuck very quickly on Senior Developer position because they do not care enough to be promoted into management.

Federal Reserve Banks (including the US) often have no FOI responsibilities either, the reasoning being that it prevents politicization and popular pressure from influencing monetary policy.
This is a really good point, and also depends on what the training data is - although arguably if they are using this model to power their services and it can leak personal data that might be an issue in it's own right.
The one area with these M1 Macs that seems barely even half cooked is how they treat their disks. Does anyone know if this due to hardware limitations in the M1 architecture, or are the restrictions in the firmware level? I'm wondering if this is even fixable by Apple in later updates.
I believe most of those cases were resolved, including adults there are only a couple thousand unresolved missing persons cases per year. Using different years of data for this, which isn't ideal, but in 2012 ~99.6% of missing persons cases were resolved. Those remaining cases wouldn't make a significant difference.

Stating the obvious here: it is a Service. When you stop the provision of a cellular service, you immediately lose access to the the service. If you have not consumed the remaining of your points/credit/etc. I find it hard that the service provider would be nice enough to let you consume them points/credit/etc.

Exceptions will exist, but the general rule is such.
> with payment cards do this today

These cards don’t pay with cryptocurrencies. They pay out dollars and do finance on the back end to abstract away the credit and conversions. (They’re a great idea.)

What do you mean by this? Do you mean ensuring job security, i.e. if only a few people know how to use this piece of software they are less likely to be made redundant?

Surely this half a billion kind of mistake will mean someone will most likely be made redundant. I think Citi execs will want to make sure this mistake doesn't happen again and improve this process and the usability of the UI.

Then we'll move on! I'll eat my hat and apologize to everyone I've ever told Tether is anything other than the most legitimate entity in the entire world. I'll borrow from the r/wsb folks and tattoo a Tether logo on my backside, even.

I joined Gab very early on in its development, when the devs were still running it as a reskinned WordPress site.

It very much was exactly as the gp describes, though I've been told that the platform has become more tolerable as its community has expanded. I haven't check back however.

Gab's public feed shows a subset of the top and hot posts, most of them look pretty tame.
It does look great, I'm not a US citizen so can't use it and the banking landscape is very different over there which could be how they make money like you said.
in theory, the patents will allow industries to get an edge in tech and produce better product, and the cost is that some portion of the profits will go to eInk (patent author).

The problem with eink is that patents are not sufficient to produce the desired tech, there is some secret ingredient which is not open, rendering all benefits useless

No, the federal Energy Information Agency and Bureau of Labor Statistics are not wrong.

Looking at an actual bill will tell you what you pay, not what is typical in the state. And if it's a PG&E bill, it will tell you a significantly higher number than is paid in non-PG&E areas (which make up a majority of the state, and which include significant territories throughout Northern and Central California, including parts of the Bay Area, as well as pretty much all of Southern California.)
