They're not making money on USD.

Forex is a highly-leveraged speculative zero-sum game where you're betting against a different trader. It's provably zero-sum like futures trading. Negative sum if you include the rake. The total supply of both sides of that trade remains the same, it's simply a redistribution of wealth from the losing trader to the winning trader.

It's also strictly a pair trade meaning that you're buying one currency and selling a different one at the same time, on the anticipation that you can unwind that for more than you spent to enter it. Forex trades are never just "USD" it's always "USD/YYY."

This is completely different than expecting to earn money by holding USD.

The United States Constitution does the following:

* It permits the Federal government to coin money and regulate its value.

* It specifically forbids states from making anything other than gold and silver coins legal tender. (This part is why Arizona can't declare Bitcoin as legal tender.)

Money and legal tender are related, but not the same concept.

The Legal Tender Act of 1862 (an act of the Federal government) added paper notes as legal tender. Constitutionally, states could not do this, but the Feds can. Due to the Supremacy Clause (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supremacy_Clause) this law cannot be overridden by the states; they cannot pass a law making paper notes not legal tender.

Gold coins are still legal tender. However, their value as metal is now massively more than their value as tender, so no one uses them as such. For example, a $20 gold coin sold in 2002 for $7,590,020; metal-wise it's worth about $2k, and currency-wise it's worth what it says on the coin, $20. You could use that coin to pay a $20 debt, but it would be a bad decision.

(You could come to an agreement with your creditor to accept it for any value to satisfy the debt, but your creditor is not required to do so.)
Why would you follow that link in particular? You can find all the license information here: https://wire.com/en/legal/terms-of-use-personal/ , scroll down and click on license information, there's like a 100 different licenses for the 100 different things they used in the software.
This is word salad.

The states do not have the power to mint gold coins; they only have the right to require that gold coins be accepted for the payment of monetary debt. Only the Federal government has the right to mint coins, a power reserved by Article 1, Section 8, Clause 5 - which similarly reserves the right to determine value of coins.

This is very simple, it is very straightforward; anyone with a grounding in the common law would understand it exceedingly clearly - doesn't the fact that everyone in this thread disagrees with your interpretation at essentially every level give you a bit of pause?
personally, I don't think it's an issue that is only isolated to the right wing side of media.

How Russia Has Turned Ukraine into a Cyber-Battlefield
Are they capable of fulfilling the role of primary learning material? Or are they supplementary to more traditional texts?
I most certainly agree with the general goal. Whether on HN or in person I have spent tens and tens and tens of hours taking Bitcoin/crypto as recently as this week and last. People who know me know I don't like it, and why.

If I had funding, my preferred approach would be a consumer reports modality both in written form and on TV as consumer protection.

There is a palpable difference between seeing criticism as mere jealously or whining --- what 'Pubs and Dems talking heads do to each other on TV or headless voices on AM/FM do which by now is largely tuned out or wholly bought into the determinant of the country either way --- and education.

I do not think people who care about this are whiners; certainly not. But in the context of Trump, Covid, Jan-6, etc. there is a general climate of people posing as victims so they can take offense "righteously" which is an immediate turn off.

Education undercuts all that BS. It's empowering in the good way. If the goal is invest what'd be better? Who better to work with? How better to contextualize investment and money management? And how does that redound to the betterment of you and your loved ones? That's the game we wanna be in.
So Zillow selling for a loss means houses sell at the prices you wanted, right?
The OP's point was that 51% of miners could agree to a change, and in a system where there are very large players that might not involve that many people.

I don’t know how good these are for actually learning a subject matter, but I’ve always been tempted to pick up a couple, if only to keep on the shelf. There are some that cover topics I’d genuinely be interested in and have a poor enough grasp on that they would likely be useful as introductions if nothing else. And even if not, it’s difficult to deny the novelty :P
I was hesitant yet excited about web 3.0. Decentralization sounds really cool, and it could solve it a lot of problems.

The prometheus format is literally just a text page. It dead simple to implement
It's covered after the first paragraph of the article. There are lots of apps that could be published as public apps, but you don't want to add confusion to regular users. If Acme publish apps to the store for the public, they may not want their expenses app for employees to be listed alongside the apps.

There are also very specialist apps that require sign-ins or accounts that aren't available to the public. You might have a messaging app for end users, but have an eDiscovery app that's only available for a few enterprise customers that relies on some access that regular user accounts don't have.

Generally, the secret service doesn't monitor kids unless they believe that they are somehow a threat to the president.

If you read the story, you'd know that the FBI wasn't "monitoring kids", they were investigating an incident that _could_ have had something to do with international espionage, colored significantly by wartime paranoia. They were obviously embarrassed when all of their leads pointed to a kid.

However, even today, the FBI doesn't monitor kids. Tech giants and social networks do that for them.
Shoot me!
I fear that a decentralized web that can’t be moderated also creates a 4chan like culture with extra steps. People, when anonymous, seem to race to the bottom in terms of ethics and accountability.

Trust comes from when I know who the other person is, not just his/her/its attributes. A good debate comes from strengthening the things that bind us in an open forum.

Sofar blockchain seems to be about making money (and I agree with OP on this point) and doing its version of the .com bubble.

Not saying that nothing of value might come from it, but at this point I don’t see anything of that kind.

Yeah they do teach what you need to know, in my experience, but they're not textbook level in explanation, simply because there's no space for that much text on the page.
If someone as stupid as Zillow demonstrated themselves to be was willing to spend $50k over asking, they can sell at $25k below their own purchase price and it's a loss. The price still remains higher than it ever should have been.
What sorts of facts might you mean? "2 + 2 = 4"? "This universe is all that physically exists"? Conservation of energy? Moral or theological assertions?
No two Linux package managers are identical either, and not all Linux distributions work like Debian. Debian is a collection of volunteers. The choice to trust it is no different to the choice to trust Homebrew. Considering the package manager to be part of Debian doesn’t change this.

However none of this has any relevance to the claim in question, which is that python must be installed manually.

MacOS certainly has a package manager that can install and maintain python.
>the average older boomer whose wealth is embedded in their home isn't selling. Its notional wealth, not actually liquid invested wealth

I'm not American but in my country a lot of boomers have been able to retire early, travel and buy expensive cars by taking out very favorable loans by using their home value increase as collateral.

Let's say they bought their home at 1 million Danish krones and the house is now worth 4 million. They can use the valuation increase to pay out any remaining debt in the house and put up collateral for loans to retire early, travel and buy expensive cars.

I'm 99% sure the same is possible in the US.
It is actually fun to look at old pre-2019 threads about Bitcoin. Not much has changed in the fundamentals but the politics and ideological warfare is on full-steam today.
Except humans haven't developed ways to write bug free code except in a very few limited circumstances none of which crypto uses.
Last I checked, it tied every single communication to a pair of phone numbers.
Yes, exactly this. I don’t know why Americans seem it’s ok that local elections are controlled so tightly by party machinery of either party…if we’re really a democracy, parties should be involved ONLY in fielding candidates, providing them support and a platform, and a nonpartisan body should be in charge of election administration (ideally this would be uniform across each county).

It’s like if Fraternities/Sororities were given control of college admission process.
See my sibling comment-- it is actually all infrastructure, there's some idiosyncracy over how previous plans are only now being funded.
Non-local hidden variable theories can work. The Wikipedia page on interpretations of quantum mechanics has a comparison table sortable by different properties[1]. de Broglie-Bohm and Time-symmetric theories are non-local with hidden variables.

> The answer is pretty straight-forward. Every time we tried this before it collapsed into a giant ball of flame.

This is availability heuristic. Many financial innovations work out well and power everything we do today without a second thought. Credit cards, internet banking, mobile banking, etc etc etc. Should we ban all financial innovations because a subset can cause collapse?

For stablecoins, the difference here is that all data is open. So for example with the latest news with MIM/abracadabra, all the loans/treasuries and collateralization ratios are viewable by everyone [1] and on chain as well. For Dai/frax/etc as well.

For ICOs, this exists today as well in our regular regulated markets as well. Don't tell me you think AMC or GME is worth what they are worth.

I'm not sure this is true.
I am buying IaaS it is so nice to use VPS with snapshots every 4 hours that I don't have to think about.

I don't care where those snapshots are stored and how much space those take. In case I need to restore my IaaS provider gives me 2-click option to restore - one to click restore and 2nd to confirm. I sit and watch progress. I also don't care about hardware replacement and anything that connects to that. I have to do VPS OS updates but that is it.

I do my own data backups on different VPS of course just in case my provider has some issue, but from convenience perspective that IaaS solution is delivering more than I would ask for.

That's just not what the phrase usually means and you (all) are clearly using "make legal" phrasal verb. Ergo you are talking cow pat, because "legal tender" becomes collocated precisely around the time that the constitution was written; meaning, you are overinterpreting your premise.

Yes, traditional Uyghur Islamic practices are relatively liberal, as I understand it. What the Chinese government fears is the recent spread of extremist religious beliefs (e.g., Salafism) in Xinjiang.

The Chinese government is of course also worried about Uyghur separatism.

However, I don't think these are entirely separate phenomena.

When "OK Google" first came out, I was so wowed and I was constantly going "OK Google, search whatever".

Sure. Spammers are free to say what they want. However they are not entitled to being part of my twitter feed, my inbox or my network packets. Those are mine to filter as I see fit. That applies to everyone's speech.

Your claim that spam is speech is flawed. Free speech is a concept how to protect genuine ideas, not how to enable more advertising. When one talks about "speech" we do not literally refer to the spoken word, nor does "speech" mean any combination of words out there. The term "free speech" is a term for opinions and ideas, plain and simple.
While true that the first leg down was when covid hit, there's a noticeable second leg down in the summer of 2021. This also happens to be when inflation/price increases started to accelerate.

It could also be due to govt aid programs expiring, leading to less disposable income.
Personally I find it immoral to support things that I believe cause more harm than good, regardless of whether the participants were compelled to do so by violence.
Those numbers look right, thanks. Looks like about 3x the radiogenic heat from the major nuclides producing heat today (not taking into account nuclides that may have decayed away... but I don't think there were any substantial ones). There's also the possibility of fission chain reactions, as U235 enrichment was very high, but I doubt these came near the PW range. Atmospheric CO2 looks like the primary factor.
I guess the one thing about hard-core Trumpets that's saved us is that most of them are so loony as to be ineffective, politically speaking. Imagine the damage these folks could have done if they were competent!

Your assessment of affairs is drenched in obvious bias. The downsides of these new technologies get plenty of airtime (your post included), but completely fail to acknowledge the genuine and useful innovations that are now possible (yes, there are many). Why was there no similar outcry from the technology community over the invention and proliferation of machine learning? It can be used for good or evil (there are plenty of cases of the latter that I'm sure the crowd can think of). It's extremely early days for groundbreaking technologies that have a lot of potential beyond the obvious scams we can all point to. We shouldn't banish a technology merely because it has the potential to harm (almost all technology does). What we should do is educate folks so they can decide whether they want to participate for themselves, rather than telling them how to think.

It looks like they realised they were out of their depth and found someone who could help. Were they wrong to trust you?

Edit: I may have misunderstood your post. Did you mean:

A. The principal and the music teacher asked you to help out a few times because they knew you were skilled

B. You were always the first suspect when anything went wrong

I understood it as A. If so I really don't see how you'd lose respect for them over that.

I pointed out the mistake and she tried to correct it but chose the button mushroom again. I brought it up a second time and she selected a different incorrect mushroom at a slight increase ($4/lb?). At that point, I gave up. She's the one ringing it up. I tried.

It's really not a serious modification, since the Bios sits in a socket and isn't soldered on.

And besides, very few functioning MVS systems haven't had some form of modification; at the very least, the timebomb-of-doom battery has likely been replaced with something that won't eventually leak and dissolve half the board.
