Not always. They sell ibuprofen in a tube so you can rub it on muscles. If you are in the US, you probably don't see it on your pharmacy shelves, though. The pharmacy I worked at didn't sell it (and it was a large chain), but all of the pharmacies I've seen in Norway have it.

I agree; this is what I thought too, when I learned that "X-" is deprecated, I still thought, that "X-" should still be used (in HTTP, email, Usenet, some file formats, etc) if it has no reason to be standardized. (I have seen other made-up headers in HTTP and Usenet and email, in many cases where there is no reason to be standardized, but a few cases where standardization may be useful, maybe)

So wait, assuming I had a hundred k, and they were willing and able to pay out, I could buy 97k of tether and redeem it for 100k?

Thank you, that makes sense.

So presigned URLs that use auth header are fine (We use those extensively in Peergos, as presigned with an auth query parameter isn't cached by browsers as the query string will change with subsequent requests).
Short term, USDT kept enough reserves to hold the peg steady for years.

I'm not saying USDT was 100% backed. They probably could have accomplished all of this with just 20% backing, maybe even less. But in the short term, only 20% of people would ever "test" the reserves so to speak.

Now I don't know how much USDT was fraudulent... I do believe a lot of it was fraud. But there's clearly a nugget of truth, a nugget of backing that kept the price steady last year and the year before.

Once that "nugget" of stability runs out, its all over.

I don't think the purpose of CT is to protect against anything on your local computer. It's to protect against CAs getting hacked or coerced by governments into issuing malicious certs.

CT's design really doesn't make sense if the goal is to protect against local malware. Why would it need public legers of Merkle trees containing every issued certificate if it was just to protect against local malware?

Anyways, local malware isn't in Chrome's threat model:

it's not more work when trying to stop exfiltration or espionage because telemetry doesn't get sent to random places. Microsoft publish the hostnames that receive telemetry. block them and you block telemetry from being sent. it still gets collected locally though.

the performance argument is solid and I will see if I can measure that before I agree with you.

from what I've read, at least among the common telemetry systems I know of (Azure Application Insights, OpenTelemetry, and Microsoft's system built into the OS), telemetry is gathered for a bit then sent in a batch, which would indicate that performance is at least a consideration.

>Microsoft should follow Apple's example and open source the operating system

1. Apple did not open-source MacOS. Hell, I can't even buy a copy of it and run it on a PC but instead I have to buy Apple HW to get it, while at least I can download a copy of Windows and run it (even unregistered) on any cheap PC HW and develop SW for it, without paying for Microsoft hardware, or even for the OS itself (gray legal area), unlike Apple where the only way I can run MacOS and develop SW for it is by buying Apple hardware which is a far more restrictive way, from a monetary perspective, to get someone on board

2. Microsoft cannot open-source Windows as it contains a lot of third party code for which it has no licensing rights to open source. They've explained this multiple times. I assume the same applies to modern MacOS.

I don't believe the list is detailed enough, because it just says "thing is broken", but not under what circumstances.

As best as I can tell, `dpkg-query -S` is broken by this iff it's passed a path to a file that's been installed under a different version of that path.

E.g. `dpkg-query -S /usr/bin/vim` fails if vim was installed via `/bin/vim`.

That's a minor bug, that should simply be fixed in dpkg, and that's also easy enough to workaround if the distribution simply installs all files in /usr/bin via /usr/bin.

None of any of that seems to be enough to unilaterally hold up a distribution-wide decision to move to a merged-usr, especially not via official sounding warnings in the install script for a major distribution component, and especially not when this way of doing things works without a lot of complaints in other distributions including the related Ubuntu, and especially not to call for a special Debian solution that has its own problems and to do so years after the fact.

Frankly if I was a debian developer I'd be quite cross with the dpkg maintainer.

While this is not as good as an open-source GPU driver, it is nonetheless a significant progress, which cannot be dismissed as useless.

It is far more important to have open sources for all programs that are executed in privileged mode than to have the source for the programs that are executed in user mode.

The kernel can control what a user-mode program does and limit its access to any hardware resources or CPU time, but it cannot do anything against kernel modules that are executed in privileged mode.

So having the source for all the kernel modules is the main priority. With this new open-source kernel module from NVIDIA, the only closed-source kernel module used by a large number of Linux users is no longer so.

Now the main problems remain the BIOS/UEFI of the computers, which is free to override what the operating system does, due to the exceedingly stupid System Management Mode invented by Intel, and the firmware for the auxiliary CPUs that may be used for unauthorized remote management in most Intel- and AMD-based computers.

How much did they spend to write this compiler? Also, I would say they spend at least 5 or more hours per weak writing tests to handle all edge cases for any new code they commit due to the language being dynamic? Also, what kind of community is there for a custom compiler as well as the non-standard high performance things like using CRuby. I think it is easy to assume developer productivity is increased--and I think it is for small/medium projects. But at this scale and complexity, my assumption is that they are likely spending more development resources to support the language in their high performance environment.
Some programming tasks are so trivial that processing speed is completely uninteresting.

Some are so compute heavy that massive amounts of time is put into tuning them (sort algorithms, fast-fourier transforms, etc).

Most fall somewhere on the spectrum between those extremes. If you can speed up your program by a factor of 20 by adding threads, Python can cover a bit more of that in-between spectrum.
I guess that a lot of IT jobs this days are connected with fintech industry. On top of that crypto world is full of IT enthusiasts. SO I guess that audiences for IT and economics have a lot of overlaps.
Yes, sorry that wasn't clear, and I said Tether when I meant stablecoin in general. I meant that they didn't have the reserves they needed ("substantial" isn't good enough) and now Tether has an even bigger incentive to run uncollateralized because of who they are.

To be fair a lot of those are specialty tokens for specific services/uses. Overall, the crypto situation can be thought of as more similar to, say, "gift cards" issued by companies.

You could say the same thing about a $5 Starbucks gift card --- you'd be hard pressed to spend it directly against any other merchant, but you could feasibly try to sell it for < $5 real dollars and if Starbucks went under, it would be worthless.

I've recently become convinced intrinsics have a strong reason to at least try them after I rewrote something that was using inline ASM into intrinsics 1:1, and got a not-insignificant speedup, evidently solely because the compiler was better at optimizing it than I was.

But compare the long term costs. I think there have been countless examples of going from Ruby to Go and eliminating 80 to 90% of needed infrastructure. I can't begin to estimate their infrastructure costs, but if they are spending $1M/mo and you can eliminate 90% of that. That is not peanuts.

Perhaps they want arbitrage in this case, because once people see this opportunity, it will make folks want to buy USDT in the market, which will bring the price back up (and remove the opportunity)?

To accept this kind of government overreach without understanding the consequences to independently living breathing humans is unfortunate for the families and lives it will take and harm.

>Except he doesn't benefit any more from the increased value

Thats the same for literally any product or service in the world which you like which goes up in price due to increased demand. Is that immoral?

The only difference is that if LVT goes up it does mean you can charge more rent so you potentially could benefit even if you choose not to.

While renters in the same area are exposed to the same market forces. Theres no potential benefit to them they just need to pay more money.
It's hard to overemphasize how big a deal the Tether peg breaking would be (is?). At $78B, it dwarfs UST/Terra, and it's supposed to be an asset-backed stablecoin, not a risky algorithmic boondoggle like UST. If Tether plunges, it will take the broader crypto markets with it.

Emphasis on the "supposed to be", since many, many, many unanswered questions have been raised about Tether's reserves and they've previously been caught straight-up lying about them.

Understandably inflammation is a clear signal that your body is out of balance.

No, it really isn't. If you cut your finger, you are going to have inflammation around the wound. This is completely normal and desirable: It helps the wound close and heal. Same if you get injured: swelling near a broken elbow means you are less likely to move the joint for a few days, at least (pain will keep me from moving it afterwards). These are all temporary maladies and no amount of getting your nutrients checked is going to fix these.

And steroids certainly won't help you in those situations. Steroids can make healing slower, depending on what is wrong. Not to mention that they aren't safe for everyone and can have serious side effects. slow healing, bad sleep, brittle bones, and so on.

I'm not saying steroids are never the answer. I have MS and have had high dose steroids to help with nerve inflammation (hopefully to minimize damage). High dose meaning... it was administered through an IV and I hallucinated every few hours for 3 days. And I've had steriods for an allergic reaction that simply wasn't calming down.

But the situations aren't in your favor: Steroids aren't a cure-all for inflammation, which isn't always bad.
It can be. And it's not all positive. The nocebo effect can be so strong, that people actually die because they think they are cursed (other examples: Covid vaccines, statins, ...).

Any generalised statement about the effect of placebo/nocebo is difficult, because some portion of the effect is regression to the mean, and relatively little is known about the mechanism of action (e.g. there is some indication about a genetic factor).

Not disagreeing with you that it may not work for you, but it may work quite well for some people. Acupuncture being a prime example.
>This seems like there's no way they are opening themselves up to arbitrage like this.

That's what defending the peg means.
That looks bad. The worst previous fall of Tether/USDT was down to about $0.90 in mid-2017, during which it was substantially below $1.00 for over a month

Having used Flutter web in production, I would overall advise against it. It can be brilliant for building forms with elaborate validation logic - and quickly so, but once the site gets heavier and you add more complexity to it, the more issues will pop up. There are still major issues they haven't sorted out yet like occasional odd behavior with input fields and autofocus on Safari etc.
Well the whole point of a "backed" stablecoin is that you can do this, and arbitrage should never be an issue because the currency is supposed to be pegged to the dollar. And if the mechanism for this peg is 1-to-1 backing then it's a non-issue.

Contrast this with UST which was an "algorithmic" stablecoin, where the peg is maintained by much more complex mechanisms.

The issue in this case is (of course) that USDT are not actually backed 1-to-1 with actual dollars in actual reserves but rather backed mostly by hopes and dreams.
No. Google is intrinsically untrustworthy.
