People who have no idea how crypto markets work always get riled up by these tweets. Contrary to popular belief, there is generally huge demand spike for USDT when crypto market has flash crashes, not other way around.

More USDT got issued because there was opportunity to make 0.1-0.2% on each new USDT since demand for it was that high (i.e. people were paying real USD to buy USDT at a premium, imagine that).

USDT (and USDC) demand spikes during crypto crashes because people actually cash out to these instruments because they are so widely used and trusted by actual market players. People aren't cashing out of crypto ecosystem during most crashes, money actually stays in crypto networks.
I suspect some future improvement on borrow checkers will facilitate doing this to a degree. But it's likely to be one of those things that only comes into being when someone needs it very badly.

So you're saying every time you pause the video it changes back to 5.1? If so, your only solution is to complain to Netflix.

Your AVR should downmix adequately but a native stereo track should always sound better than downmixing.

Can't you set the speaker output to stereo on the PS4?

I agree about VLC, I sometimes watch 5.1 movies on headphones and I don't get annoyed by the downmixing, so it must be ok.
Very impressive. Excellent sound. The idea is great, and well executed. Bravo.

> You can say "we should judge people by the standards of their time", but it seems that he fell short even by those standards.

Just out of curiosity, what are notable examples of people saying “we should judge people by the standards of their time” in a reasonable way?

I most frequently hear it used for many of the “American forefathers” or other prominent people during that time to refer to their views on slavery and the treatment of indigenous people. In that case it’s clearly laughable, since A) there were prominent contemporary critics and B) a lot of those people spent considerable effort performing mental gymnastics in writing to defend these things, which one wouldn’t expect if they were simply unaware of any potential moral problems with their actions and views.

This is what drives me crazy about people who dismiss alternative therapies as placebo and therefore worthless.

I am puzzled by the "oh no, this is erasing history" people.

There are many people throughout history that are known and studied without being celebrated.

Statues, windows, etc. are there to commemorate and celebrate people. If we decide that we shouldn't celebrate an individual (confederate generals for example), removing that statue is not the same as erasing them from history.

It seems to me that your comment is the myopic one. GP was talking about long time scales. The reason the industrial revolution was so amazing was the level of efficiency it brought with it. There is no arguing that we get more for less work than any time previous to that. Whether that's worth the cost of everyone being a cog in the industrial machine is however a valid question.

> I worked at Circle. If you think that Jeremy Allaire is going to go to federal prison, you are out of your mind.

You're making massive leap in logic. I completely agree with you. Regulators have been absurdly slow to react, and I think that both Circle and Tether will probably end up just fine, at least legally. There may be a cataclysmic breaking of the peg but ultimately it will be retail that gets slaughtered. Tether's own terms from day 1 have basically told you that all you're getting from them is something that hopefully someone else will value for close to $1.

I think these guys are pretty iron clad. Doesn't change the fact that Tether has almost certainly played a key role in manipulating crypto higher, on the mild end by providing leverage through crypto collateralized loans, and at the serious end by outright fraudulently printing Tether.

That sounds like the standard employment contract; not necessarily the "shower clause."

It makes sense that the employer (or contractee) can claim that all work, done on their paid time, or on their equipment, is theirs.

i.e., if I use my employers' laptop to develop OS software, and they can prove it, then they have a strong (and, basically, legit) claim on my work. Same with time that I'm being paid for, and supposed to be doing work for them.

That's one reason why I brought my own personal laptop, many years ago, instead of using my employers' computer for my personal stuff.

I'm not sure, but it may not even be required to be in the employment contract. I think that basic employment laws may enforce that.

The "shower clause," on the other hand, says that all work and ideas that occur during your term of employment, belong to the company; regardless of whether or not it occurred on their paid time, or using their equipment.

i.e., if you come up with an idea for a great Web site, while out on a date, or while taking a shower; whether or not it has anything to do with the corporation, the corporation can lay claim to it.

It's pretty damn evil.

Re 2: the editor list "Tracks&Busses" tab uses a GTK TreeView for displaying status and offering controls.

GTK's treeviews don't make it very easy (understatement!) to make cells in the treeview detect keyboard modifiers. When you click on the green/gray box in the solo column, mostly what we know is that you clicked, we don't tend to get modifier info. I was referring to tbe buttons in track headers/mixer strip, but you're right it should be consistent/universal. I'll see what I can do.

Regarding faders not being group-overridden by the Primary modifier ... yes, that's true. Ctrl-drag on the fader provides finer-grain control. However, there's a reason for this difference. In general, we recommend that people use VCA's for group gain control and disable shared gain control in a group. It gives you a much more flexible working style, and is a feature typically found only on extremely expensive mixing consoles. Ardour offers both SSL and Harrison style VCAs (i.e. heirarchical/stacked or parallel), depending solely on how you set things up.

A +1 from me on something like `--format` - pipe auto-detection feels unnecessary and like an inevitable footgun.

As just one example, the Azure CLI defaults to human-readable output, but has an "output" parameter so you can have JSON if you want - I've never once wanted any kind of format auto-detection, and I have to say that I still don't.

Nah, most of USDT is on TRC20 because gas fees are way cheaper there and most of the exchanges support withdrawing USDT using TRC20.

So all arbitrageurs, market makers, etc, transfer USDT between different entities through TRC20 network. USDT on TRC20 started to increase only after Ethereum gas fees got ridiculously high and it became too expensive to use even for pretty high volume market makers.
Yes, I'm afraid your comments are getting way too grandiose and generic, which makes them uninformative and repetitive. Please stop.

> What is this site "for", dang?

That's hardly a secret. HN is a site for intellectual curiosity:

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

If you want a longer definition, it's a site for substantive discussion of topics that gratify intellectual curiosity. That appears to have nothing do with any of the things you've listed, including "tech darlings", "prevailing opinions", and all the rest.

Inflated rhetoric, like what you've been posting, has nothing to do with curiosity and actually drowns it out. By "inflated rhetoric" I mean dramatic claims about big things that don't come with real information to make them interesting, let alone back them up. If you'd please stop that, we'd appreciate it.
I wonder if anyone has tried a treatment with a non-refrigerated diet

EDIT: I read some more and found “Nutritional treatment of CD was first proposed by Voitk in 1973. The treatment consists of administering a specific liquid formula…”

It doesn’t say if that formula is refrigerated or not. My assumption is that it isn’t because it’s cited here, but that is an assumption.
Async programs are doing lazy evaluation, so they are better at discovering of critical path of execution. It's similar to out of order execution of instructions in CPU, but on a higher level.

> We have provoked and participated in many wars in neighboring countries to defend our "economic interests".

"We"? How many of those wars were started by popular demand, with protests on the streets demanding our leaders take military action? "We" are being blamed for the actions of oil and weapons lobbyists (whose wars are paid by our taxes), and then asked to face the consequences of the actions due to their subversion of democracy.

We pay for the wars we don't want, we get the blame, we get to deal with the immigrants, and in the end, we still have to pay for the oil - the oil companies that benefit (always unnamed) don't hand it out for free!

That Wikipedia article does cite other ways of defining species, just after your quote.

The bottom line is that there is no one correct and concise definition.

It's also obvious that the fertile offspring definition is not sufficient of you look at plants (pomelos, mandarins and citrons are rather obviously different species, but they are interfertile and most modern citrus species are their hybrids) or even more obviously, at bacteria or yeasts that don't even reproduce sexually.
Cool. So you clearly have no idea what an attestation is, or why the fact that it's not an audit is so important.

> Nonetheless, they have been done by independent third-parties who are a lot more reputed than whatever has actually managed to look into Tether's data.

Like the New York Attorney General? Go read the NYAG settlement. Tether got an attestation by wiring in $850m of Bitfinex's cash to their account the morning before an attestation, and then wiring it back to Bitfinex immediately after. The attestations merely state certain very shallow facts like "at this point in time, there were $X assets in an account". They do not audit the source and ultimate ownership of those things.

Look man, I get that you want someone to pump your bags. But sometimes it's best to just bite your tongue. Tether doesn't have any defense. They may be totally legit, and if they are, it's totally indefensible to act this way. And if they're not legit, well...

Gerald Jay Sussman keynote, day 2 of re:Clojure conference 2021
Wars are typically won by the side with more assets, money and people. Military equipment is generally not economically productive (though it can be necessary for having any economy at all); fighter jets don't make people more productive, but cargo jets do.

My thought always has been that the best way to defend the country is to grow the economy. Of course, if war comes, then you need to work on the short-term issues of making fighter jets.

Do you think the US would be better off militarily without all the technological and economic growth?
Undisputed is saying a lot.

The Talmud, not by coincidence, light on a lot of political (and religious) detail from this period. The political turmoil leading (in Talmudic text) to the temple's destruction are somewhat taboo.

Anyway... place names are resilient. The region is littered with Hebrew/Assyrian/etc place names that outsurvived the political/cultural entities for centuries.

That Philistia survived as a regional name is not that big a stretch, especially as a greek-related culture during a greek-dominated era. We don't even know with certainty why our current politicians do what they do.

There are some good stories too. For example, some time ago /r/chess had a "protest" against the prevailing mod, the subreddit was turned over to a new mod and there were community mod elections, and it's been much better since. So far so good, some people really care about the community (and some mods are good enough to step aside, also commendable!).
> You don't like this guy? Leave the window alone and build whatever the opposite of a window is to condemn his bad acts.

Ironically, the article includes a photo of someone who has done just that: stencilled some critical graffiti. It's in the process of being erased. The author who is so keen to preserve the window doesn't seem to mind that opinion being cancelled.

But probably neither windows nor graffiti are actually good ways to evaluate historical figures and their good and bad contributions to science.
It is! Good exercise, too, I'm finding.

edit having just finished a session: And as rhythm games go, I've never played anything else quite like it. The sheer sense of immersion makes it a unique experience, and that's before you realize each map is designed to teach you to dance your way through it. As you practice a song, you learn the dance, and the process of improving your execution on every runthrough feels amazing, especially once you know the song well enough to start attaining a full-body flow state that I honestly can't find words to describe. Like programming can be, sure, but where that's purely cerebral, this has a kind of sensual physicality that programming flow just doesn't match in my experience.

It's a little like back when I was young and used to dance in clubs, and a little like playing a musical instrument really well, but mainly it's its own thing that I can't really describe but can unreservedly recommend to anyone who can afford a Quest 2 and find 10x10 feet or so of clear floor space.

There's a lot of other things you can do in VR too I guess? I haven't really bothered with them yet, though. :D
And it's not even in the article title.
