So did I. I've got 150,000 now. I've certainly spent $8 more poorly.

7 days ago that was worth $12 million. It's crazy

The team behind it did get up to 14 billion USD in deposits and they're encouraging (even at this price) people to continue to hold Luna. They're still on board apparently

Crazier turnarounds have certainly happened.

Fractional reserve banking directly inflates the economy via loans. If I deposit $1000 into my bank account, the bank will lend it to someone else instead of just holding it for me. That loan is new money created out of literally nowhere. It only becomes real money when the borrower actually extracts value from this world and earns real dollars in the process. The loan's repayment makes it real. Until that happens, the money doesn't actually exist, it's completely made up.

So borrower goes out and buys the stuff they need to make it happen. That money eventually ends up right back in the bank as a deposit. Once at the bank, it is once again loaned, spent, deposited, loaned, spent, deposited... Quickly inflating $1000 into a whole economic system worth huge figures like $100,000, not one cent of it real until all of the aforementioned economic activity actually succeeds in generating some real value. Always at risk of the whole stack unwinding due to business failures leading to defaults on loans which could cause even more defaults and liquidations and foreclosures and losses and all sorts of problems.

Multiplying that by an entire country's polulation results in truly mind-boggling amounts of money generation and therefore inflation. The actual money supply doesn't actually matter since it's a small fraction of the amount of money that's actually circulating.

The funniest part is cryptocurrency exchanges have turned into banks. They offer bitcoin lending services, savings accounts. Finite bitcoin supply? It doesn't matter. Value can always be inflated away through loans.

> And central banks can control inflation by controlling lending without printing or destroying money.

Lending is printing and destroying money. Central banks cannot control lending by changing interest rates as we have seen since the GFC. They couldn't get inflation up for ten years, and now they can't keep it down.

The belief in central banks and gold (why are gold miners so special?) is just as much of a cult as cryptocurrency.

All prices are relative, that's why they move all over the place.

There's a question of what rate these traders are going to do this arbitrage in a bank run situation. To do the trade, they need to pay cash under the assumption they'll be able to get it back later. (How long? A day? More?) Their risk of losing the money might be low on a normal day, but not zero. What if today is the day things get weird?

So any trader is going to have a limit on how much cash they're willing and able to put at risk, based on Tether's promises. This limit may be lowered if things look iffy.

They do profit if they can buy at a lower price. It's only competition that keeps them from doing that.
An interesting thing about "[A lot of] [thing] in [short time]" challenges is that you get a lot of opportunities to learn what processes can be stripped away and different ways to compromise. Great way to break out of a rut or block because you have to learn what's stopping you and what's essential to you.

I quickly skimmed over these results and saw at least one case of "this thing was complicated, so I did this other thing instead" and one "I tried to do that thing, but my failure resulted in this thing". The goal was to make 50 carts so these are both perfectly valid strategies to achieve it.

> DJI drones broadcast their location and other information over RF for anyone nearby to receive.

This is true, it's in an unencrypted beacon.

> To be clear, the data never goes to DJI themselves.

Is this true? If I fly my Spark with my phone connected, the phone sends a pretty constant stream of stuff to somewhere on the Internet. It's encrypted, so I don't know what it is, but I assumed it would include telemetry of drone parameters that could include location.

Of course, if you're in a war zone, consider just not connecting your phone... the drone flies fine with no possible connection to the Internet.

Sounds to me like your idea is just kind of lame and thinking it would be amazingly profitable is a bit of a stretch.
"job interview" is an instance of what someone is anxious about. No one is specifically anxious about job interviews, they're anxious about what occurs during a job interview.

Ex: being anxious about a job interview might really mean they get anxious in high pressure situations, talking with unfamiliar people, etc.

Depending on the role, these situations could easily be ones you encounter at work as well.
BTC already lost 50% from its peak, so I guess this has been answered.
I love this account. Seeing photos from restaurants around the world is such a wonderful glimpse into other cultures. It makes the world feel smaller and more intimate somehow.
I agree. There have been numerous posts along these lines which seem to misunderstand the issue.

The post hypothesis is that [something is wrong with the Web] because [browser functionality]. But it's not browser functionality that is the issue here, it's the site author. The premise of the problem is wrong, thus the proposed solution makes no sense, and it will fail.

This is easy to demonstrate. Install a second browser. Turn off JavaScript completely. Disable cookies completely. You now have your minimal document viewer. Done. No need for a new protocol, no need to create anything.

Now feel free to view all your static-site destinations in this. It'll be rocking fast. Then use your regular browser for everything else.

I suspect you'll find that the browser is not the problem. The problem is that the sites you want to visit use JavaScript. You'll discover that your alternate browser is basically not used. Oh and that the sites it can use are equally fast in your main browser.

The browser is not slow. Sites _choose_ to be slow as the cost of other things they want (mostly advertising). Any site you think is slow in your browser would not be in your other Web.

Do new developers choose inappropriate tools to build simple stuff? Yes of course. Do they go with what they know best, yes of course. Do most senior developers do the same thing? Of course yes.

Is the solution a new protocol and a new browser? I fail to see how this would change anything.
Yes. As always, the choice to not use encryption cuts both ways. No secrecy for the sender, but no guarantee of authenticity for the receiver.
I highly recommend watching that episode. Extremely interesting and worthwhile.

So I looked this up [1] and it turns out we're both wrong - you need to have had a valid medical at some time after 2016-07-14.

That date is exactly 10 years before congress passed the Basic Med law, so when basic med was new, it was "in the last 10 years", but the law pinned it to a specific date, not a specific number of years in the past.

As I wrote, nobody publishes exact numbers on this. There’s reasonable room for error though because most people never go beyond 300-400k during the lifetime of a car. Packs generally go longer than anticipated a few years back, such that a broken pack is no longer a real concern for most cars starting, say, 2020. There was a lifetime issue with the original Leaf, but they seemed to have fixed that in later versions.

It’s also somewhat moot to worry about this - if you need to charge en route, you’ll fast charge. If you’re at home, you’ll charge slow. You won’t go out of your way to fast charge since it’s expensive. Except if you don’t have a charger at home, at which point you don’t have a choice anyway.

> I think I've interviewed senior software engineer candidates who would not do well with the above tasks.

You exaggerate. I'll give it a try:

Memory is what you need to pass a software engineering interview at a top company. Address is unimportant these days, as everything is on-line - employees can work wherever they like so long as it's in the Bay Area. Channel is how you market your SAAS software. Console is what you do to your colleagues after a round of layoffs. Interrupt is what your manager does.
If it falls again, it's not value neutral anymore - it's a transfer to whoever sold. So then the complaint that you could've used the money on maintenance against poisoning babies becomes true.
>>> less likely to work in a job that puts them at physical risk.

During lockdown panic I was 'critical infrastructure' fixing heavy equipment. Nothing slowed down for me, risks were same working on broken machines (or greater depending on your view of virus risk) and the laptop crowd got to 'stay safe' at home while others got pandemic pay to sit at home.

Many dangerous jobs get little acknowledgment. These people literally keep the gears of society turning, and are often derided as being dumb with dirty fingernails.
> You want inflation low enough that it doesn't punish people for saving but still provides an incentive to spend now.

Does it work? Inflation makes me spend less, not more, because I save more, because I’ll need more later…

Yeah but something happened when USDT was in the unpeg crisis 2 days ago.

See, if it fails then the big exchanges become insolvent, full stop.

Now here's the thing. With some exchange APIs you can see market order statuses, whether they're settled or not.

You can use this to determine market latency. If I want a market buy, how long does it take to settle.

So here's the thing, the latency on USDT buys was on the millisecond scale as best I could determine.

The latency on USDT sells was near minute scale.

It's a giant accusation so I'm not going to name-drop the exchanges I'm talking about and I'm just a single data point but if anyone else saw it contact me.

It looks like they "narrowed the channel" and put their thumb on the scale to prefer buys and float the price, pushing it back up.

Now this was at a time that the gas price was about 250/300gwe because of the massive UST exit and network delays were 15/20 minutes or so.

So even if you wanted to arbitrage it wouldn't have been worth it because the network was going way slower then exchange latency.

This started basically right when Tether tweeted about the billion in Avax and ran for about 12 hours or so

Ultimately it doesn't matter. These are unregulated securities and the exchanges can run their markets as the please and, if what I'm saying is right, good job keeping the thing you need to stay in business afloat. Coinbase stock (which I'm using as proxy for general sentiment) climbed 50% after tether got repegged and contagion appears to have been averted

I'm just wondering if anyone else saw this. It could be a coding defect on my part, a fluke because of the craziness of the market, me projecting and fooling myself, etc.

Please don't go around repeating this as fact, it as of now, needs independent verification

Without microbes or fungi, plants are mostly left to either chemical weathering from water or turning carnivorous (which takes a really really long time).

Aeroponics has the added benefit of being really frugal with your water supply. Most of the water in a hydroponic system is literally just sitting around in a tube, useless.

Also, a leak in an aeroponics system is way less catastrophic in a low-to-no gravity situation.

I think using moon dust as a rooting medium would be helpful for water retention in a pseudo-hydroponic setup, as the surface tension would help keep the water from flowing away from the roots. It certainly beats trying to ship the stuff from earth on a rocket, at the very least.

> I think you may be confusing economics terms with moral and ethical distinctions

mjburgess’ comment appears to be using virtuous, religiously worded, moral arguments against the “waste” of cryptocurrencies. I am not making an economic argument and neither was mjburgess: my argument is about liberty and I am against people that imply that our personal choices or values are unworthy, because by their morals the choices of others are waste. I personally might agree that cryptocurrencies appear to be negative value for the economy, and I might see them bring negative value to some of my acquaintances. That is not the issue. We should aim for the ideal of being as free as practical to make wasteful choices: the waste of having a child, breathing, thinking, or doing absolutely anything, really. As you say, that freedom needs careful balancing against how our personal liberties affect others.

I am looking at that comment as an single example within a wider milieu: one dangerous opinion dressed up in what superficially appears to be a sensible economic argument.
