I really wonder if USDT bashing will get old or will people finally get that USDT will not just disappear overnight. They've redeemed 11% of their total capitalization and nothing happened.

I despise shady accounting practices and I'm sure Tether is on par with a good american financial institution, but I highly doubt it they will ever default.

I know it's a long shot, but hear me out:

1. Their redemption process can be handled in a way to prevent an uncontrolled bank run. You can redeem 100.000 minimum, hence it's a not a retail bank run for sure.
2. They print the dollars for much of the old school crypto ecosystem, with all players acknowledging their importance. So unless the key players in the field want to take USDT down, it's not going down. Even the NYAG tried and gave them a penny fine instead.

And even the article here really lacks context. The USDT reedeming right now is tied to all the negative publicity in the media. I've traded through this current depeg (a week ago), that was purely speculative and generated by the panic. A twitter thread stared to report a depeg, and more and more people piled on the exchanges to swap USDT for BUSD and USDC. In the end a lot of USDT was redeemed, nothing happened, expect that some people made a lot of money on the panic itself (and the premium).

I've been hearing the same story for the past 6 years. USDT will fail, they don't have any backing, US will shut them down,.... And the world keeps on turning. Sorry to break it to you. Nothing is going to happen until key crypto players have a legit alternative that will keep the ecosystem alive.
The supply chain disruptions get worse as the China lockdowns and commodity prices make their way through the economy.

When you have a supply shock on raw inputs, it takes time for that to make its way through the economy. Businesses along the way keep inventory, they've locked in forward contracts, they can eat the cost increases to avoid losing market share until they're sure the price increases are persistent. But eventually they realize that everyone else in the industry is facing similar price increases and they'll go out of business if they don't, so they raise their prices too. This eventually propagates down the supply chain as inventory runs out and new contracts are negotiated. The price increases of late 2021 were triggered by the initial shock of March 2020. The Ukraine war & China lockdown shocks of early 2022 aren't going to be seen until about 2024.

By the time businesses have adapted to this round of shocks, we may be dealing with new shocks like a war in Europe or the retirement of baby boomers.
Doesn't a closed design produce more airflow around hot areas, when carefully designed?
I love QCAD, but I am very curious if there are any 2D modeling/drawing programs with constraints. Let me know if you've used on and would recommend it.

Can FreeCAD export the 2D drawings?
I switched to an iPhone in 2019 or 2020 after about 10 years on Android (I did own the original iPhone). Overall I’m very happy with the decision. I became increasingly frustrated with Google’s data monopoly on android, and of manufacturers attempts to get a piece of the pie too (it seems like every phone had the play store, and the OEM store, and repeat that for various apps and services).

I’m a Mac user so switching had massively improved integration for me.
Very interesting.

The link to 1971 charts is intriguing. But the link seems to be on a gold standard/Bitcoin web site. Is this a point of conversation among, ahem, boring mainstream economists?
I was a kid, in the 1970s, when things were really bad. I didn't notice it, but my parents sure did.

Really? Data shows that a driver will subconsciously take stock of the fact that a cyclist is wearing a helmet and adjust their risk assessments accordingly? I find that incredibly difficult to believe.

DEVONagent is capture. You give it criteria it will use that to decide what searches to run, collect the results, collate map of terms, and present the results for you to peruse. For instance, if you were to search for "Vorlon," you'd get back pages that have the word, but also ranked by other pages found that have the same vocabulary. It will give you a graph of the word and other commonly found words, like "Babylon", "Mimbari", etc. It a good way to explore stuff you don't know because it will show related concepts. It is very niche, but very powerful for what it is for.

Zotero does citations. It lets you track citations to resource sources, add relational information, and organize them. If you have every had to make research papers, having a citation tool very important. When I attended university, it was dirt easy to track and cite supporting material then export it as whatever citation format the teacher wanted. I had one teacher who very strictly wanted a particular version of citation, but it wasn't standard. I made a citation style just for her so I didn't have to remember the rule changes.
I think it will give rise to new art and design trends that are harder to imitate.
Why is it a security risk? The point of the .privileged section is that it remains in the W^X state the whole time. OpenBSD permits doing code morphing that way, so it must be secure. Code morphing is pretty much essential to how things like virtual machines work too. Would you say that JIT is insecure?
If I had to guess, I'd say the trends will still be set by big design agencies and artists who get paid handsome sums to work on a big company's rebranding project.

The difference will be that many of the smaller illustration gigs, which essentially boil down to "copy the style of this big company" will cease to exist. Those types of gigs don't require a whole lot of creativity or skill, because the client simply wants a knock-off of what someone else came up with, but for cheap. AI-generated "art" will allow those clients to bypass the human and just get what they want directly from a computer.

In a sense, it's going to be similar to what professional photography has gone through in the past few decades with cameras becoming more and more commonplace and affordable. Some people still want a professional portrait taken of them, but the majority of people are perfectly happy with what a mobile phone camera can produce.
Interesting and scary. Curious what could cause the wrong behavior.
Tales of a dad for his little girls (Spanish)
When covid started I decided to write short stories where the protagonist is a father and his little girl, because in addition to enjoying it, I think we also deserve a place in lullabies and stories.

But don't get me wrong, this was a beautiful thing that allowed us to spend time as a family while we were in a pandemic.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do:

I think the idea is that bonds at higher rates are a better alternative ("better deal") compared to cashflow from an asset.

But if you actually buy that bond, and the rates keep going up, then new bonds will be an even better deal than the bond that you bought, and so to sell it you'd need to sell at a discount ("wrecked").

I feel like this misses a sense of scale. Sure, everyone loses, but some choices must be superior to others in a rising-rates environment.

(Part of the same series on Haiti, and truly shows the scope of the rot).

TL;DR - France and french banks forced haiti to pay reparations for having earned their freedoms for so long that 2.53 out of every 3 dollars they made for centuries went to “white people”. This led to a loss of 25 billion dollars conservatively or 200 billion if you’re being real.

The US just took over as the next colonial power. They even helped get rid of the only President in decades to have brought this whole thing up as an issue again.
Cycling is risky. I've stopped cycling on roads with cars because I realized it's just a matter of time until I get in a serious accident.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/express/wp/2016/05/12/how-saf...

I'm with you on the mandatory helmet issue, I don't like it either, but mostly because I don't like needlessly restricting ones freedoms, if you want to risk your life, that's fine with me as long as you don't risk others lives too.
I don't think it's based on safety, either. It's almost certainly a safety perception / marketing thing.

However, the type of bike they are using is much safer than a normal bicycle because of its size.

When there’s blood in the streets…
Before gas prices shot up, I was tempted to find a cheap Nissan Leaf with a half-shot battery because even with only 50 miles of range, that would cover the majority of my trips. I hate using my truck, which I do need for a significant minority of my trips, for going to the grocery store, the park, or even for visiting nearby friends. But the local supply of used EVs has shrunk over the past couple of months and prices have gone up. I've noticed many listings aren't mentioning battery health, which is something they used to almost always do, leading me to believe that people making kneejerk purchases of used EVs might not fully understand the battery issues with them. Hope that's not the case but it really is glaring how quickly battery health disappeared from EV listings. Hate to see a bunch of people get turned off of EVs due to a bad first experience.

Yeah, clear-cutting a forest and replacing it with e.g. a pine mono-culture is probably a net negative, eh?

I've heard of a method that revives native forests rapidly: https://daily.jstor.org/the-miyawaki-method-a-better-way-to-...
Well, up until now it hasn't been called anything formal, which is why I'm trying to give developers some language to (however imperfectly) describe this approach. :)
You don't. That's the trouble with Youtubers, there is only one person that needs to be paid off.

Now that I know "name-mold" would be a good query, I might find something better than the Spanish name-mold.

So for non-finance-experts, what should we be doing with our money? Investing in what? Keeping in the bank?

It sounds from your comment like there is _nothing_ that won't be devalued, even gold. Is real estate worthwhile?

(Note: I am in the EU not US.)
Interesting. It sounds like in shamanism the spirits are more "real". In Shinto it seems like a commonly agreed-upon belief that they exist. Shinto relishes the belief whereas Shamanism relishes the experience.
The "fundamentals" are used in a kind of Schelling game. If people think no divs means it's worth more, the price will go up.
Well, when I was hit by a car and hitting the asphalt head first as a teenager, I found it adequate, that the helmet was cracked to pieces afterward. Did it save my life? I don't know, but with the helmet I only had a light concussion (and broken leg) compared to very possible skull crack.

Compressed polystyrene I know only from light accidents, but it has been a while and I suppose todays helmets are a bit more durable.
(But luckily never had to find out, if they fare better nowdays. Also I learned to fall and only rarely wear a helmet nowdays)
Cycling has a pretty high probability of crashing/falling, and in such an event there's a good chance your face/head will impact something.

Not that I'm in favor of requiring wearing any safety gear, I'm totally in favor of weeding out morons from the gene pool.

But to act like helmets aren't a good idea for cyclists is asinine. Personally I try always rock a full-face MTB helmet when I'm cycling.
lol the way you started your comment led me to believe I was going to be reading good news. Then it was just more horrible news.
>What's the real issue with Cuba? Castro nationalized assets and resources that belonged to US corporations... Sanctions on Venezuela? Again, Venezuela took the unacceptable step of nationalizing their oil assets.

Also set up one party states which ideologically align with every US enemy out there including USSR/Russia while completely ruining their own countries.

> We have absolutely no problem propping up horrific dictators as "allies" when it suits us (eg Pinochet, MBS, Saddam Hussein until it didn't suit us, even Erdogan, arguably even Netanyahu)

MBS doesn't even rule Saudi yet, despite having a lot of power. Erdogan is likely to lose the next election. Nethanyahu is out of office and facing charges. Leaders can suck without being dictators or preventing fair elections.

>And with Russia's unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine now threatening the energy sector, suddenly the Venezuelan sanctions aren't as important as we made out

Don't make too much of it. The admin will soon find out that Chaves/Maduro ruined the energy sector so thoroughly there isn't any oil to pump in the next decade.
Enterprise support is important for adoption in large orgs in the US. Nobody got fired for buying IBM.

It takes champions and a lot of focus to get something like this started. You have to have a third party to provide support and expertise or build up the knowledge internally (and for these tools that’s often expensive.) It takes a lot to find good ways to start. Many companies I’ve worked with don't want to sign a contract to start experimenting with the tools to start building knowledge internally. This is how you end with managed platform offerings.

This is also how you get one person championing the idea, and having the ability to ‘just try it’ without going through sales or contacting the company is great. This is how I originally started using Rancher and then Harvester.

EKS Anywhere has a similar support model, and is also very attractive.

The DoD has been doing great things in my opinion with Platform One, which has similar focus https://p1.dso.mil/

Historcle – Guess the Secret Historical Figure
In which country? My experience has been that the European health insurance card works very well and you get the same service as locals do.
The shopping carts in Europe tend to have all four wheels able to swivel 360°, which makes them vastly easier to maneuver. (We call them "Euro-carts" when we're able to find a place that has them here in the US.)

My understanding is that grocery stores deliberately chose to use inferior carts in order to make them less attractive to steal, or something like that. I would really like to see them re-evaluate that decision.
I look at the labels, the only ingredients marked on the bread I buy is wheat flour and salt. There are many brands with more stuff in them, sure, but not all are like that. Doesn't last very long though.

These gotchas aren’t nearly as clever as you think.
Just look at the median wealth of the population. Many people don't own a home, and that kills the wealth statistics. A few BMW heirs, Aldi brothers and Lidl owner push up the average vastly.
10 minutes to check out every two weeks compared to 14 separate shopping trips that take 5 minutes each to check out (and 10-30 minutes to travel and from the market each visit in either case) isn't significant.

In suburbia it would be the most convenient, because suburbanites drive everywhere anyway. If your market is at the end of your block, it's still going to take you 15 minutes to get there and back in the best case.
Palm OS Developer Releases Source to Classic Games, 20 Years After Release
Efficient doesn't really mean anything without an thorough understanding of the local energy grid. Distributed solar mixed with wind and some gas peakers? Sure, probably better from a GhG perspective to use restive heat, even if it isn't cheaper cost wise. Running your house on a coal heavy grid with long transmission lines? Yeah, gas is probably better in the short to medium term unless you can get a good deal on solar panels and storage.

All of that's kinda moot though since modern heat pumps are insanely effective, relatively cheap to install, and work down to sub-zero Fahrenheit temperatures using only air-source exchangers.
Cycling is only risky due to the shared infrastructure with cars. The thing that raises the risk is cars. We should all be demanding that our streets are made safe for all users. We already have sidewalks in many places for this reason, we just need to extend similar safe infrastructure to bicycles and other road users too.

Just throwing your hands up and not asking for change is a sure way to not improve things.
I don't understand why I'm not allowed to point out that the comment presumes.

Someon's feelings do not define that which is reasonable for anyone else but theirself. But the comment presumes it is. The comment skips past the arguability of that position as though it were not arguable, and all I said was that this is in fact arguable.

Whatever your problem with that is, isn't valid.
I agree in general that it could be a bad thing. But in the case of Panama and the US I see it as a very positive thing.

For one, Panama doesn't have a military anymore since Noriega was ousted in the invasion. That's a huge blessing of stability to the country. You don't have to look far in Latin America, Asia, and Africa to see how dangerous a military is to democracy. And we don't need a military for defence, because everyone knows the US will rush to the defence of Panama if the canal were threatened. Purely from self interest, but that aligns nicely with the intersts of Panama in this case.
> Offhand, sounds more like most riding is with helmets

My impression is:

1. Dutch-style utility riders using a bike to get around town for errands -> Rare helmets

2. Lycra-clad competitive cyclists with drop handlebars -> Widespread helmets

3. City cycle hire scheme users -> Rare helmets

4. Parents cycling with young children -> Widespread helmets

5. Poor people commuting on beat-up mountain bikes -> Rare helmets

6. Organised cycling events with mandatory helmets -> Widespread helmets

7. Teenagers riding with their friends -> Rare helmets

So the popularity of helmets depends on your locale (does your area have utility riders?) - and whether you measure per-mile or per-bike-owner :)
That doesnt add up. An inordinate amount of money was printed in the last 2 years (up to 25% of the supply[1]

From the biggest Ski insurance/interest group in Germany (the ones from the Ski federation), the stats show a 50% decrease since the 80's.[0]

The trend is stable/slight increase in the past 5 years.

For the head injuries, it reduced from 2/1000 skier to about 1/1000 skier/year. It follows the general trend of the number of accidents per skier/year.

Looking at the material and the quality of the slopes in the past 40 years, they are definitely a big driver of this change, they improved a lot!

Certainly. There are big differences between now and 1940s in many things: manufacturing capacity, education levels, societal cohesion, easier acceptance of risk to life, etc. etc.

I am just saying that purely from the economic perspective and its key characteristics of asset prices and inflation (that the author focuses on), today is much closer to the 1940s than to the 1970s. And I am personally investing on this assumption, as I think that the fiscal and monetary choices that US will be forced to make will drive the economy along a path with many similarities to the post-war decade. Just my 2c (and, obviously, not an investment advice).
