Quite a lot of schema validators use `ajv` under the hood. Some, like I believe `yup`, `zod` and `superstruct` do not. I'm not sure why one approach is more advantageous than another, to be honest. I'd think eval would also be a performance issue.

>To be able to pay out 20% interest rate on deposits you need to issue loans at higher rate.

No, as I mentioned part of that 20% comes from staking rewards. I also missed that there is also a small liquidation fee that contributes to what gets paid out.

>But who would take such a loan when they can go to a traditional bank?

Because you can instantly get the loan. Because you get paid in ANC for borrowing. This ANC can be sold to help offset the interest. 10% Anchor's protocol fees are used to buy ANC which is distributed to people staking ANC which incentivizes a demand for ANC. At times you would make more in the ANC rewards than what you had to pay in interest.
That's the point - the statement you quoted is very uninformative, and a strong example of bad, unclear communication. It literally does not say anything about what it is what it does, what capabilities it offers.

That statement is essentially "It's a multitool for this target audience of users. It's really good for everything they want to do." - without giving any information about what that "everything" is. It does not provide an example use case - "hacking digital stuff such as radio protocols, access control systems, hardware" is not an use case but just an application domain, but an example use case would be some hint of how this tool would be actually applied to help someone do a security analysis of some radio protocol for an access control system.

Why not say something roughly like

"Flipper Zero is a portable multi-tool that includes transceivers for arbitrary interactions with most popular wireless systems - RFID, NFC, BluetoothLE, infrared and sub-1 Ghz wireless devices. It allows you to run custom exploit or analysis code for these protocols interactively from a convenient small hardware device." ?

That would actually tell a potential radio hardware hacker about its capabilities and limitations; e.g. the original description could just as well be said about the hackRF SDR system, which is substantially different piece of hardware but aimed at a similar audience.

About half the yield came from loan interest. The other half was from Luna Foundation dumping money into Anchor's reserves. Users could take out collateralized loans against Luna, Ethereum, Atom, Avalanche, and Solana tokens. Anchor isn't what brought down Terra. The way UST was supposed to remain stable is what killed the whole thing when it backfired.
A great breakdown of Luna and Terra, notably recorded a week before the collapse. It's very amusing watching the hosts trying to figure out how this coin is supposed to remain stable while promising 20% guaranteed interest.

Yes, we intend to broaden the language support as soon as we can! This funding will definitely help get us there.

I'm not too worried about the npm condition. My reading of it is that it's intended to prohibit using security data generated by npm itself. When talking about "data about the security of Packages" they give the examples of "vulnerability reports, audit status reports, and supplementary security documentation". We don't use any of that stuff.

My real problem with this whole law is that it's a lame and run around that will be difficult to enforce. Sure it may be enforced on big personalities who have lots of followers who can then get cut off for curtailed but that does not help the average person.

Instead what they should have done is picked a reasonable size of active users or some other measure and instead of preventing banning of accounts or silencing the speech they should require that the company's policies must be cited in detail for their actions.

For example if Facebook decides that your post should be deleted it must send you the exact portion of their terms of service that you have violated and cite the specific examples of your post that violate those terms of service. There should also be a means of redress or correction available. This way we can see exactly how these companies are censoring people and what their logic and reasoning is and we can tell if that violates pre-existing rights of people. The exact same thing should apply to a ban they must site in detail the actions that you took and the policies that you violated instead of the nebulous violated our terms of service that we don't have to tell you why.

What people fail to understand is terms of service are not a blanket this company can do anything. Any terms of service that are against the law are meaningless such as provisions in a contract that violate the law those provisions hold no power. But when they enforce this they never tell you what you did or why you did it.

This law is just a joke typical paid politicians that are ignoring root problems.

Money was invented to solve the “coincidence of wants” problem (aka barter) but it was traditionally in the form of a commodity which was hard to come by (to resist inflation) so it could also serve as a store of value.

There’s also a difference between monetary inflation (increasing the amount of money in circulation) and price inflation (increases in prices due to normal supply and demand). “They” spend an enormous amount of time and energy to ensure people don’t understand the difference.
False. The regular banking and payment card system is far more energy efficient while maintaining a higher level of security.

That's why 'the DMV (groan)' is the meme it is in the US: it's one of the few interactions most upper-middle class individuals have with government services.

I've had other interactions with state/local government services over the past couple years, and they've all been pretty bad. It's like anything else: there are helpful, compassionate people you occasionally speak with, but it's easy to get buried in the complexity and ridiculous inefficacy.

Federal (and state for that matter) tax returns are a good example. Something that every citizen of working age technically has to deal with are incredibly complex.

1. If you’re creating just for money and aren’t passionate about the project, you will fail.

Here’s some advice in no particular order:

There’s no such thing as passive income, you will need to put in a ton of initial effort.

Make sure your product has minimal upkeep. Build once, sell many.

Listen to your users.

Know when to listen and ignore feedback.

Agreed, but only partly. The GP's past reply history is telling: it is a typical pro-crypto reaction against everyone else (not just anti-crypto), just happened to be okay this time.

I think we may have different definitions of what significant power means. I managed to break the metal rod inside my plastic pedals one time… But yeah, I used an 8 speed hub gear with a toothed belt for ~7 years, which I don't see breaking any time soon. (Though I did have to walk home a few times due to other reasons, e.g. clogging the gears up with snow or flat tires.) But it doesn't switch gears when under power, and if you start giving power while it hasn't fully switched yet, it makes very unhealthy sounds.

Your assessment is correct. The fact that implementing such a simple scheme as LVT would lift up many societal issues suggests that the entire problem that it aims at is the society's bottleneck.

From system design we know that no matter how much we optimize other parts of the system, no gain in performance will be achieved because the flow still has to go through that bottleneck. So we should focus on removing that narrow part before even engaging in discussions about other economical topics such as minimum wages, healthcare or education funding etc.

Abiogenesis is the question of how life formed, and is the only field where aliens (albeit in the form of proteins on comets) are a legitimate scientific advocation.

This is a real, but small, factor in the value of the USD.

The economics don't make sense to me. You can get a solar panel and portable power station for less cost today for similar or better power output. The only benefit here is that this will work in the dark, but even then I'd rather just put more money into battery storage. Combine that with the fact that this is a kickstarter and not a product sitting on store shelves, and that small wind turbines generally don't make much sense due to the laws of physics with regard to efficient power production. Hard pass.

Which is ridiculous---Ponzi schemes only hurt people who are reckless. Why punish and impede all of us for the sake of reckless people? Your viewpoint is literally uncivilized.

My dad worked at a public university where his department would charge for services provided to other departments at the university.

At the end of the year the department's surplus went to a general fund (and I think this was also a factor in deciding future budget allocations for the department).

So everyone in his department was incentivized to buy equipment they didn't actually need so that they didn't "lose" their money.

The old, perfectly working, hardware would be put out into hallways and get thrown away in the trash.

Granted a public university is a lot different from an actual government department.
Unless iFinex literally says "lol we took all your money and won't be doing any more Tether redemptions"

You mean like this insane set of requirements that makes it basically impossible for the average retail investor to redeem their USDT for USD? [1]

- $150 for KYC + verification, minimum transaction amount is $100,000

- U.S. citizens must be classified as Eligible Contract Participant to redeem USDT via the website (ECP = individual investors with more than $10 million, individuals with $1 million net worth, businesses, etc)

- 0.1% fee for withdrawals up to a maximum of $1,000, which means Tether is redeemable at $0.99 for up to $1 million

- Any individual who is a U.S. Person and any entity that is a U.S. Person is prohibited from using the Site or any Services, [...] Exceptions to this policy may be made by Tether, in its sole discretion, for Eligible Contract Participants only, which shall be customers solely of TLTD.

Apparently you can. From the same article:

"In conclusion, neither mtDNA nor Y DNA can give any hint as to your “racial” membership in U.S. society. Autosomal DNA, if very lopsided to one continent or another, can suggest what you look like. But this does not work for those Americans who choose to self-identify as Black despite having mostly European DNA, nor for White Americans unaware of their African DNA, nor for Hispanics, whose “racial” membership is determined by their culture, not by their genes".

I guess the evil dictator the parent describes can skip this category: ("this does not work for those Americans who choose to self-identify as Black despite having mostly European DNA") and spare: ("white Americans unaware of their African DNA"). In fact, that evil white dictator would probably want to do so, even if it wasn't a technical limitation.
> We all look up super simple stuff we learned in year one of engineering school. I'm not sure I would call reading a little "training". I just think interviewing should be a little more forgiving.

I don't disagree with any of this, I just think there's a certain "base" of knowledge for certain jobs that needs to be so well understood that it's automatic. For an embedded engineers I think "cache line" is part of that base in much the same way I would consider it a hard requirement for any incoming frontend web-developer to know what the DOM is.
