What people here don't seem to understand is that the people who actually hold significant amounts of Tether basically all know each other. It really is more of a social contract than anything else. It was an early stablecoin, and it only exists so major exchanges could interoperate without having to rely on banks.

This is what killed MtGox, their over-reliance on banks to hold the collateral needed to make them solvent. Carl Mark Force IV was a DEA agent who was basically blackmailing MagicalTux, forcing him to invest in fake crypto projects, and if he didn't play along, Karl would use his DEA powers to freeze MtGox's bank accounts. This prevented people from cashing out, which was a problem. Major exchanges learned that touching actual US dollars in bank accounts is poison, and something that major exchanges can't really do without devoting massive (crippling amounts) of resources to legal and compliance teams.

Better stablecoins exist now, from a US regulatory standpoint (USDC) and from an algorithmic pegging standpoint (DAI), but the people who run exchanges still like using Tether between themselves for historical reasons, which is fine. I will never hold Tether, and probably every person who reads this should never hold Tether, but not because it's necessarily bad, but because it's not for you. It has a very specific utility to certain crowds, and IMO that's fine.
Who cares how trackers look. That doesn't mean you can't have fun producing music with them.

I own a Model:Samples, the battery is just velcro attached to it. This is not awkward, it serves as a tilt stand which is actually nice.

1. Stable coins make no sense for anyone outside of a handful of small, poor countries.

2. Stable coins make no sense for anyone who has meaningful wealth even in those countries because they have other, better options available.

3. The amount of money in Stable coins is >$100Bn - this is far more than what would go in to resolve any of these problems. Mentioning these problems is noise / a distraction.

4. The primary purpose of stable coins is for people to get in and out of / time trades in cryptocurrency (speculation).

Do you honestly believe people collectively parked >$80Bn in a shady company using it purely as a bank account - because that was really their best option? If not - then these talking points aren't really worth talking about. My whole point.
For any native speaker of Indo-European languages it is much easier to learn another Indo-European language than to learn a language from a different family, mainly because the Indo-European languages share a lot of their vocabulary, even if that is not always apparent to less experienced speakers, because the pronunciation of the words can differ very much.

Learning unfamiliar words is a problem equally difficult for any language that belongs to another language family, so the difference in difficulties can appear mostly in grammar or phonetics.

The Indo-European languages are among the most difficult for speakers of other language families, because the so-called fusional inflection characteristic for the IE languages, which is very seldom encountered in other language families of the world, is an extremely irregular means of expressing the grammatical relationships between words.

So, except for a few secondarily simplified languages, like English, it is much more difficult to learn an IE language grammar than it is to learn a more regular grammar, such as that of languages like Hungarian or Turkish, or even that of Japanese.

In most non-IE languages that are considered difficult, the difficulties are not in grammar, but in phonetics, when those languages use sounds seldom encountered in other languages, e.g. tones, clicks, pharyngeals etc.
Android kind of does. You can mark a certificate for "VPN and Apps" or for "Wifi". I can't remember if you can do it with CAs, but you can definitely do it with the dependent certs.
That and it’s a fairly racist place in my experience so don’t bother if you think that would affect you.
Dai? Why does everyone always forget Dai?

Unlike Tether and USDC, I can actually verify that Dai is overcollateralized.

You may have supporters but at the end of the day the buck stops with you. If you are not in a position to deal with emotional roller coasters just wait on a startup.

Clients rely on you and you need to be a solid rock.

Eventually you will make enough money to spread out the work with employees. Until then your on call in every sense.
If you are talking about 12-hour analogue watches, no. They wrap the continuous time into some non-intuitive measure that needs an external context to determine the actual time of day. They rather demonstrate that time needs to be as precise and accurate as needed; the continuity of time doesn't always matter.
As a business owner I can tell that a business can be pretty successful with just a Facebook page, an Instagram profile and Whatsapp as a contact channel. No website needed.

Unfortunately, websites cannot compete with aggregators. It's not about tech, it is about people.

Aggregators have the only thing a business need to thrive: people. If you have a "private website", you need to drive people to it, but if you have an account on a platform, people are already there.

This is why more and more businesses rely on aggregator instead of having a "private website".
That’s why the continuous motion ones are so sought after and pricy. The mechanical continuous motion watches are really marvelous feats of engineering

But then I have to run a server.
I've had this experience several times. The one that hurts the most I think was one I worked on with a friend called VRwalkthru that we wanted to sell as a service to real-estate agents and people selling their houses. You used a special camera to take pano photos throughout a property and keep track of your movements and directions in an app (it used accelerator / compass data). Then the photos would be converted to photo-spheres and arrows would be added you could click on the move to the next spot like google street view so you could "walk through" a property listing. We got a prototype working and sent cold emails to a bunch of real-estate agents and got... nothing, maybe one luke-warm response. We eventually gave up. That was about 2011, then a few years later along came matterport and I see it on practically every listing I look at.. oh well. I guess we didn't know how or who to sell it to, or it was not good or professional enough, I don't know...

There are smart watches that will go for weeks on a charge. They automatically set time based on the cell phone network and GPS so are always accurate to within 1 second.

You have it completely reversed, a rock solid codebase is much more important in an agile environment than a waterfall one. In waterfall you just need to tick the feature boxes. In Agile you not only need code that readily accepts changes, but you need to provide visibility to the business side about the state of your technology so they know not only the opportunities but also the costs of the problem.

The only reason why this becomes a phase that burns developers out is that writing high quality software is hard, under-appreciated and needs to be painstakingly learned by experience and guidance by experienced mentors. But most projects in the industry are complete shitheaps where the seniors need to spend all their time fighting fires instead of teaching the craft to juniors. No wonder developers get burned out.
The fact that your time at Google seems to have taught you it is literally not possible to work anywhere without being either over-worked or depressed does not say good things about Google, is all I'm saying.

Because it's definitely possible. Just apparently, in your experience, not at Google. Which you've internalized to incorrectly believe this is universal.

The "stockholm syndrome" metaphor is overwrought, you're right, sorry.
Python nerfing C extensions would be like McDonald's deciding to de-emphasize burgers on their menu. Sure, other foods are healthier and get more positive buzz on Twitter. But it turns out that the burgers are still the main thing bringing people to the restaurant.
Not to mention currency risk. I heard they were invested in china which if they were their yuan are now worth 6% less to get the same amount of USD which customers are expecting USDT to be in.
If you want to get paid, projects will need a lot of non-coding work after coding the basic features: presentation website, payment/licensing, contact forms, ProductHunt/HN launch, copy text (have you ever tried to fit what your product solves in two short sentences?)

One good strategy I found accidentally through Lunar (https://lunar.fyi) is to launch for free, prioritizing the contact form, and letting people know that you’ll want to make the product paid in the future.

After all the user feedback, the product will probably look very different from the first free version and most people will want to pay for the new polished version.
Some will feel betrayed, but as long as you’re keeping the old free version available, you’re not doing anything wrong.

I shared Lunar for free for 4 years before doing a huge paid update with Apple Silicon support and a ton of user feedback implemented. Most people were happy to pay and I’m now doing Lunar full time, earning around $3.5k a month, and the best part is that Lunar v1 only needed about one week of work to see that it solves a real problem.

In principle nothing, but in practice NATO has shown considerable restraint so far and I see no reason why they would suddenly and catastrophically deviate from that. So unless Russia uses nuclear weapons first - which they have threatened now multiple times - I do not see this or any other conflict NATO is involved in escalate to nuclear.

NATO has never publicly committed to a NFU policy because that would weaken their hand on the political stage but in practice they seem to be following that line. It's a smart way to position themselves, and other nuclear capable entities have done the same.
Charge more. Charge more. Charge more. Every problem you have gets easier if you charge more. Every metric you track will improve if you charge more (including customer satisfaction).

Charging more:
1) gets rid of most toxic customers.
2) increases customer LTV which allows you to spend more on acquisition or get more money for the same marketing cost.
3) helps you pay employees more which makes it easier to hire.
4) helps you pay yourself better which makes it easier to meet your non work needs.
5) can position you better in the market as many people see "more expensive=better" even if it isn't true.

More businesses fail for not charging enough than charging too much, so you should charge more despite the imposter syndrome in your head.
Just use 9front. The plan9 C borrows a lot of philosophy from Golang (well, the reverse), and it's from the same creators.
One of the findings they announced at the press conference is that the spin of the black hole is not aligned with the galactic plane but is tilted "towards us" so that it is viewed face on.

How unexpected is that?
that isn't actually at all the function or purpose of PoW though.
in the example, the burning of "real" dollars represents the validity of a single "DollarCoin" existing. the "burning" of electricity for bitcoin is the result of finding a schema that promotes verification of the network by awarding coins by consensus.
PoW is a /validation/ pattern, and while burning dollars on video and linking the hashes together can comprise a blockchain, there is no actual decentralized validation going on.

it's alright as a snarky line, but outright saying "the best summary of proof-of-work that I've ever seen" is misleading to people that didn't actually know, and now have a completely incorrect idea of what it is.
Dai? Not a ponzi scheme. USDC is the same thing as Tether.

It's too bad Terra ever existed. I took one look over their plan to keep their coin stable and noped out of there.
Same. I have two of their Pocket Operators[1] which I love, and an OB-4 radio[2], but I'm mostly an enthusiast of their work from afar. If you're casually interested in messing around with music, the POs are a lot of fun and relatively inexpensive!

How much credibility would NATO or EU have had with Turkey if a bunch of Muslim Bantustans were permitted to be made?
Bingo, the EU is optimised to _not_ do things against the will of member states, both at the EU government and national government level.

Many things are proposed, very few make it through, meaning the number of people you have to influence has to be extremely tactical or total.

You can see this with the proposal to stop moving the EU parliament and commission to Strasbourg every year (just to move it back again), France says no, therefore it can't happen.

Same is true with sanctions against .pl for freedom of the press violations, Hungary says no and that's all it takes for nothing to happen.
I'm thinking more from the low-touch, low-margin perspective. If you are trying to make money with ads, calling 70 people to get 70 ad views is a terrible ROI no matter how persuasive you are. If you're selling a subscription SaaS product and expecting a lifetime value in the thousands per customer, then cold calling is a pretty decent way to bootstrap.
Yeah, this completely the opposite.

Don't build software for salons; start your own salon that uses software you create, and make that your competitive advantage. Don't know how to cut hair? Then you probably don't know what software would help in that business anyway. Find a business you can do yourself, and help yourself using your technical skills.

This is also why this (very good) advice is not so easy to follow in real life. You need multiple skillsets.
US finds 500 Native American boarding school deaths so far
I can see where you're coming from with plumbing and literacy. Government monopolized water utilities and education.

But the greatest increases in life expectancy were from the late 1800s to the mid 1900s. The improvements have slowed since then, appearing to plateau in the last decade or so.

And it just so happens that in that time period, the government had way less control over the healthcare system in the US.

Literacy is actually decreasing in recent years, as education spending by the government increases. Higher education has never been more expensive, thanks to guaranteed student loans provided by the federal government.

If you're more talking about developing countries, then the correlation is far stronger with level of economic development than with government involvement. In fact government involvement is often inversely correlated, slowing development.
Just curious but why?

> That's only because in USA the justice system depend on the elected president and elected representatives of the State.

That’s absolutely not true in the US. Almost all law enforcement has no connection to the President whatsoever. The FBI does have a connection, the director is appointed with legislative assent, but FBI employees cannot be fired at will by politician or even the director.

Further, the FBI didn’t even exist for most of American history, so that’s not why the term evolved the way it did.

Also, your country almost certainly operates similarly to US federal law enforcement. Or are you claiming there’s no democratic oversight of or input into the justice system at all?

Further, if you don’t consider the justice system part of the government, what is it?

This is not how it works. You seem to confuse focus and magnification. That said the display in VR goggles is set at a specific focus distance, and there is a fair chance it is set at infinity. When you look in VR goggles you eyes are at rest, focus-wise. Seems to be what you are looking for.

On clickthru Shopify page, there are some decent photos. But would replace/remove the Amazon text in one of them.

Also would show the back / cord & connector.

Re: privacy: you could have one link, with some way to show both once you get to that page. Few will read this anyway, may as well not clutter home page with 2 links.

Good luck my friend.

Is there not something inherently contradictory in a movement that claims to be a human-centric, optimistic vision for the future, and then simultaneously saying that you feel it is “unethical to bring children into a world like ours”?

More generally, I’ve noticed in solarpunk a continuation of a trend in many communities in recent years. Solarpunk, at first blush, is something very appealing to me. But under the surface it seems like much of the movement seems to have become increasingly centered on dismantling capitalism and implementing socialism, with actual sustainable societies being treated almost like a pleasant side effect rather than the main goal. I’m not in love with capitalism, and our current system needs major reforms, but I’m also not ready to treat the idea that socialism is required for sustainable human societies as an axiom. So much of the online discussion seems to be tribalism, the same old socialist shibboleths, and a never-ending exercise in labeling (nuclear power is fascist, fusion is fascist, non-urban living is fascist, etc). It seems like there is a branch of online leftism that is incredibly parasitic in nature: it takes nascent movements, injects itself into them and hollows them out until all that is left is just different veneers for the same underlying ideas. Unfortunately this seems to stunt the evolution of the movement and its ideas before it has the time to mature and discover what it is.

It will be unfortunate if all solarpunk ever manages to be is more socialist blog-spam and clicktivism but for people who like gardening.
I am just apparently very bad at estimating which hand is the longer one (if there's not a huge amount of difference). Once I figured that out... reading the time is not a problem.
Don’t get a salesperson day one unless they are a partner or you have a boat load of cash to keep them happy- you get what you pay for.

It is 100x better to have one or more clients with a need for your product. This means don’t dream up something first and build it. First find the client then build the thing.

We have a compute job scheduling system that often sees swings like that (bigger, actually!), where it goes from idle to having a ton of newly queued jobs ready to run. But we use EC2 spot instances because they're much cheaper and the resource limits are much higher. It wouldn't matter if Fargate scaled out arbitrarily high, arbitrarily fast -- that's not really the problem with Fargate for our type of usage.

We do orchestrate the EC2 spot instances ourselves, because ASGs and Spot Fleets are way too slow. Spot Fleet especially is like calling your grandma to have her click around in the AWS Console every time you want to scale. AWS is way too "polite" to their own infrastructure but when you do it yourself, you can slam right up against your rate limits.

If you're operating in a grayish legal area, start worrying about laws once you're so big that your government worries about you. If I did my last startup now, I'd spend all the money I spent on lawyers, on marketing. By the time we had on paper that our business is operating within the law, we were down a big chunk of money that we later desperately needed to gain traction. If you fail, no one will care to sue you anyway (specially not your government). But if you make it, you'll have money for lawyers and money to eventually make it more legally acceptable.
Soros has been supporting a large number of NGOs since the early 1990:s at least.

Many of the NGO:s have been actively working for mass-immigration, color revolutions in eastern Europe, drug-liberalization and a stronger EU.

If you are against any of those things, you may very well think that Soros influence on the world is a net-negative.

And he has been criticized for it, long before the first Russo-ukrainian war in 2014.

Though as Soros is normally acting as a gray cardinal through his money, the criticism of him tends to become abstract and stupidly conspiratorial.
I had this great idea to make a Linux distro with a ranching theme centered on containers. I had a great little basic system going with tons of fun ranching puns; I called the containers cows and so there was roundup and branding and slaughter etc. I even put ASCII barbed wire fences comments to divide sections of code. Man I felt so defeated when I found out RancherOS was a thing, but without the whimsy

You’re referring to transgressions under Yanukovych? That’s not a great example, since he’s famously a Russian puppet, removed from office in the Maidan Revolution.
Agree. The median student loan burden is very manageable-- less than a new car -- and the issue is manufactured for political purposes on the left to turn out younger voters.
