Not sure why this is down-voted, but it's generally true.

For example, only 2 provinces in Canada are "non-recourse". Default on a mortgage, they lender takes the home and absorbs any loss that remains. Most of the US is like this.

"Recourse" provinces mean the lender takes your home, recovers what they can, then comes after your other assets to make up the difference. Not sure the exact laws but usually primary homes and retirement funds are protected, but they can take other property and auction it off.

You’re right in the abstract, but in the specifics, Tether is deviating from the market in a worrying direction.

Just a worrying signal.
As I said, I think it's interesting if it uses the downtime for something else. (Like a chess player thinking on the opponent's click.)

Talking to itself, speculating about continuations, etc - but not actually outputting them (else it's just a longer response). Instead, storing some parts in the buffer. Perhaps bifurcating. Even better, using some down time to summarise recent material and store the summary in the buffer. That's not a bad description of "thinking".
I’m not saying that page is accurate, just that it reflects their treatment of outstanding tether as a liability, so buying it back for below par is profit in their books.

I think we agree on all the rest; I also believe that it’s a scam.
Crypto offers very little in terms of intrinsic value (it's not zero though)

I think your premise is mistaken.

The "we" is clearly mistaken.

Be interesting to see what is still going when the hype cycle dies.

Interestingly, higher quality was one of the selling points of mass-produced vs. hand-made items back in the day. “Machines are more consistent”. The “hand-made is better” myth sounds invented to justify higher prices for hand-crafted stuff and help keep some workers in business in the age of machines.

What sort of online world are you considering here? Does it include facebook, twitter and reddit? Or do you mean the deep, niche autism-adjacent online world?
That's fine.

No KIM-1 at this point. (Recently got a clone kit of the KIM-1 so was hoping....)
At this point I'm just holding for speculative reasons. Not because of any fundamental believe in the technology (like I used to, in the first years).
that is good to know. thanks.
DAI is over collateralized - you lock up as collateral more than the value of the DAI you get back when DAI is created.

So let's say you deposit 20 eth at @ $1,000 USD per eth, which gives you a collateral value of $20,000. You create $10,000 DAI which you can then do what you want with.

If the price of ETH goes down, and the value of your collateral drops to $14,500, less than 150% collateral, then DAI automatically holds an auction on your collateral, selling it to the highest bidder. Let's say it sells it for $14,000, that's a $500 profit for the purchaser, and a $4,000 profit to DAI. The looser here is you, who still has the $10,000 DAI, but has lost $14,500 in ETH.

Next time, you'll either top up, or pay back your vault before it gets to this point.
Tether charges you 10bps. So you make money from buying here. We'll buy some.
that’s how it works, but you also need to attach event handlers and set up the state for the framework on the client-side (for subsequent interactions).

As stated in the report, the "Management Assertion" was examined and "found to be fairly stated in all material respects".

The "Management Assertion" is described in Section II, containing among other things "segregated specifically for the US dollars that correspond to Gemini dollars".

So to my reading the BPM accounting firm, which is in top 5 Bay Area accounting firms, agrees that the Gemini dollars are backed by segregated dollars. You should well known what segregated means.
That's not redeeming. Redeeming is sending your Tethers to Tether and receiving a USD wire transfer. Fairly few entities can do this. We can't do it yet.

If people start buying tether for .999 to redeem it, that will push the price back up...
Haha interesting idea - I certainly think that one issue with supervised training a la GPT is that if you ask for an opinion, the most popular one in the training data will be its default. You can start a prompt off going in a different direction, and now it says the opposite. So it's hard to conceptualise what GPT-3 actually 'believes' to be true about the world, which I feel an agent must have to be sentient. If it has all opinions stored in its memory, surely it has no belief about anything?

I feel like I am capable of making a concrete decision about whether I agree with two opposing ideas in a way that a language model can't do, such as this discussion. Furthermore my belief is consistent in my outputs day to day until my mind is changed by something. If that i some complete illusion and I am just a slightly fancier autocomplete than GPT-3 - well I'd be surprised, but I can't claim to understand consciousness well enough to refute it.
I think one other major reason SCTP never went anywhere because performant SCTP NAPT is impossible.

With UDP, TCP and SCTP, if you need to change ports in the header, then you need to update the checksum. The traditional TCP/UDP checksum is kinda crap, but this works in its favour here, because you can just perform a corresponding and easy adjustment of the header.

SCTP protects packets with a strong CRC32C checksum. This is on the whole a good thing, but you can't do the twiddle trick with CRC32C. If you're rewriting ports, you need to recalculate the checksum over the entire packet.

This means that linerate SCTP NAT accelerators have never existed. On the whole, what SCTP NATs exist only do address translation: If two people try to establish outbound SCTP connections from the same source port, the second person's connection just gets dropped by the NAT.
Aircraft carriers sail with a group of support ships ringing the carrier miles away. These include destroyers and missile cruisers. A rear admiral manages them in close coordination with the carrier captain. Under a separate chain of command submarines accompany these carrier groups to aid in detection and prevention of threats to the carrier group. As I understand it there is no communication between the surface ships and these invisible partners.
Because puzzles have unique solutions. This is often (but, admittedly, not always) part of the definition of a puzzle, as a specific form of a problem or a game.

If the fact that a solution is unique is given as part of the rules, then it can be used directly to rule out some classes of solution. That seems to be the case in Cell Tower.

If you buy/sell $100k USD and pay the relevant transaction fees; and if tether doesnt run of out capital just as you are doing it.

Which, at <1$/$, tether should now be bankrupt. It's presently advertising free money: just buy at <1 and sell back at 1. If it were actually possible to do that, tether would be out of capital tomorrow.
That is basically what a forklift battery is. You can pick those up for the scrap cost of the lead as many places either recycle them on a timeline and not when the battery is dead, or recycle them when a cell or two needs replacing. I've seen forklifts with 20-year-old batteries - being in a heated climate, never being deep cycled, and the purity of the lead are all factors in longevity.

"real crypto has never been tried"

The typical argument is that the value of gold is somehow super stable (often the story is brought up that in biblical times, an amount X of gold would purchase Y loaves of bread, and today it is still the same!). By contrast, the dollar lost 96% or so of its purchasing power over the last century, so clearly gold is much better, and if you tie the value of the currency to gold (=gold standard), you have the best of both worlds.

However, that story neglects many things.

1. A worker can buy many more loaves of bread (not to mention other things) with a week of wages than two thousand years ago. So, who cares about the price of gold?

2. Everyone is free to buy gold with their money, anyway, if desired [0].

3. A moderate amount of inflation is not bad, and in fact what most central banks target for, and what they have achieved for decades.

4. If you have a lot of money lying around, invest it in the markets (or into gold), don't leave it in currency.

5. A gold standard would remove the central bank's ability to control the money supply, and hamstring its ability to conduct monetary policy. Gold standard proponents consider that a feature, but almost all modern economists consider it a bug. An instructive parable is the story of the Babysitting Coop [1].

My overall take is that

good fiat > gold standard > bad fiat,

and policy should be focused on good fiat, ie keeping the central bank competent and politically independent and with a clear mandate.

Bulgarian here, mentioned in a lower thread as well, it will mean the richer states just export their old (modern) combustion engine cars to the Eastern countries.

Curious what you mean by "giving up" though?
You're correct. To expand a bit, in general, when demand for crypto trading is going up, Tether should be worth about 10bps more than a dollar (because this is what Tether will charge you to create new Tethers, and the supply is mostly expanding), and when demand for crypto trading is going down, Tether should be worth about 10bps less than a dollar (because this is what Tether will give you for your Tethers, and the supply is mostly contracting).

the argument is not that you can’t exchange 1 usdt for 1 usd today.

the argument is that nobody, not tether and not any exchange, is committed to maintain this exchange rate peg. in fact the topic of this thread is a discussion on how (long) and whether the peg can be maintained.
5mn TMSC - how did they win the bidding war; very few can afford the process alone.
IBM had 5GHZ in 2014. [1] Clock speed is not a measure of performance alone.

Besides, most of the work in reaching a certain clock speed or target can be owed to the foundry (in this case TSMC which is world-leading, certainly beating Intel on most metrics at the moment.)

Comparing to the over-tuned enthusiast SKU of 2018 is not a fair comparison for either.

"We have $1B in the bank account at 9am on 6/13/2022" is a management assertion. It can be correct. It can be entirely true, and verifiable! An accounting firm will happily attest to its truthfulness.

An audit might reveal that the $1B is someone else's money.

Sounds right but if there was a general departure from crypto, I don’t expect Phire’s observation that “USDC, TUSD and BUSD, they are indeed drifting slightly high” to hold.
Would they be expensive at high volume? There's obviously more resource contention for inputs like lithium but even in that case a larger market capacity would drive a lot of larger scale projects.

Each collateralized debt position is independent. They do not use one large pool of collateral for all DAI. Each CDP is independently liquidated as the value of the collateral drops. Can liquidations trigger price drops in ETH? Yes, and that can cause a cascade of liquidations as the collateral value falls on various CDPs. But that just wipes more debt as it cascades. MakerDAO has responsible thresholds (150%) for liquidations. It's not without risks but it's one of the good eggs.
True, but artificially limiting growth based on your ability to mine gold (or steal it from other countries) is still silly.

If you want to constrain growth in a controlled fashion, you still need a central bank managing the supply of currency.
How are scams and hype a thing only since 200 years ago? I'm trying to understand but the comment makes no sense if you know the history of finance.

Btw it's somewhat ironic because Celsius is essentially a bank and not a blockchain company at all. They've simply found this niche where they're largely unregulated because they're dealing with tokens that are not considered legal tender in most countries and have super shady business practice when you look into it deeper. So this is essentially the old model, branded as blockchain and taking money from people who hold cryptocurrency but do not understand it. The likes who buy Dogecoin on Robinhood.

If lending business were on-chain, everyone could look at the exact figures and observe the risks. Maker vaults aren't defaulting, are they? Also a smart contract once securely deployed can not be arbitrarily stopped. So there is no chance for anyone freeze your funds like this centralized platform does now. These are exactly the problems blockchains can solve, if people only understood and used them. With traditional banks, we've tackled the problem trying to use government regulation, but we all know it doesn't really work. Contracts that can not easily be gamed are a much better solution, at least for the base layer of financial system.
You've completely misrepresented the statements of that document - it's specifically about refugees, not all "men and woman from non western countries".

Of course refugees are vastly more likely to be unemployed - 2/3 came from the Syrian civil war and there's no guarantee of entering the country with in-demand skills or any understanding of the language.

Germany has 1.24 million refugees, but it has ~14 million first-generation immigrants including over a million Turks. People who immigrated for work and had to apply for visas are going to have completely different employment outcomes than a surge of war refugees.
Where can you redeem it for a dollar? Tether doesn’t promise they will redeem it. Have there been large redemptions?
What justifies Bitcoin being valued at 30k vs 20k?

The answer is nothing. And same applies to 10k. Since there's no measurable intrinsic value, there's zero fundamental factor limiting the downside
This isn't related though. The fact that drugs can be absorbed through intestinal mucosa is well known, that's how suppositories work. And it was known in pre-colombian south america too. But here we are talking about oxygen.
Good point – the ideas of MMT go further than that (and become more controversial as they do), but there is quite some overlap.

I also don't think that there is consensus across central banks about how money creation actually works, which is pretty fascinating, considering that they all do more or less the same thing (at least the ones that aren't pegging their currency to another one), but apparently under completely different models...

I know the estuarine river very well in my part of the world and the approximate distances between various landmarks and aids to navigation. Places I don't know as well, I use nearby features: cars, houses, aids to navigation, etc., to approximate. Exact accuracy isn't critical as normal cruising speed is around four knots. I know the distance from the George Washington Bridge to the Statue of Liberty is about 12 miles, and about ten miles from the GWB to the Battery. It is about six miles from World's End to Anthony's Nose and the Bear Mountain Bridge. It is about 1.5 miles from Little Stony Point to Pollepel Island and another 1.5 to Denning Point.

I also know about how large the various adult birds appear at various distances, recognizing that there is some variability. If it really mattered, I could carry a range finder.

Navigating in the open ocean, with no landmarks, is a little different. I have two compasses: one on my deck and one in my life jacket with my marine radio. I keep a charged phone with GPS and local marine charts in a dry box in a dry bag in a dry hatch in my boat, but have yet to rely on it. I look up the velocity and direction of the predicted currents and keep a chart of that on the deck along with my navigational chart. I plot my course on the chart and note the headings to my next waypoint. I keep a duplicate of the predicted currents and headings in a waterproof notebook on my body in case the chart gets separated from my boat. I note my departure time and calculate my velocity based on my normal cruising speed, adjust that for conditions – wind, current, company – and go for it.

I practice this on my local waters because I've been enveloped by fog off the coast of Maine. In September 2019 at low tide in the morning, three of us in a line with about twelve inches between stern and bow, we were unable to see the other paddlers in their cockpits, which means visibility was no more than seventeen feet. We navigated by instruments, ocean swell, and wind direction for two hours before the fog burned off.
Yes – GP is claiming, as far as I understand it, that this is already the case, but their source does not support that claim, and I don't believe it's the case.
