The way it's meant to work is tether acts as a market maker, always willing to buy and sell tokens at parity. Nobody would buy below that if they know tether is around. Tether, having issued the coins, should have sufficient capital to play that role. But if they spend too much of their capital, they lose the ability to fulfill their role.
The point is that tether is wlsupposed to be willing to buy back tethers at $1 each so that if the price drops below $1 they buy all the sub $1 tether until the price returns to $1.

You can sell it at a discount but why if you can get $1 for it. That makes no sense.

For tether to depeg something else must be going on

The same thing could happen with crypto. A smart contract developer sells crypto to fund development of a smart contract. That smart contract can provide new utility and drive demand for the currency.
The NYTimes has been hostile to tech for as long as I can remember, and my memory on the matter goes back to the 90's when Thomas Friedman was writing about how our jobs were going to India practically every other week. After Google had taken off, that stopped, and they changed their tone to some sort of embrace-and-extend.

It's been many many years of this. It's not going to change. The signal-to-noise ratio isn't going to improve. To that set of folks, we'll always be a bunch of picks and shovels. There's a subset of the liberal artsy crowd that will always see STEM as being lesser intellectually, and that's who these articles are written for. To be sure, that doesn't mean that STEM folks should be anti-liberal-arts. Folks on the engineering side need to own what that side of intellectual life offers, because you can bet that there'll be other (traditional-management-and-corporate) folks leveraging the liberal artsy side and learning what they can about tech so they can "manage" it. To which end, I would also consider this article a reminder and temperature read.

I'm indifferent if the narrative would drive away some talented students into other industries. Raw talent isn't all that there is. There were plenty of 10x programmers in the field before tech got big. And not everyone going into the big giants would be so good in a startup. If you ask me, there's other stuff at play, like the competition between programmers today, and the drive to climb the ladder above all else – those things more or less negate whatever benefit the bump in talent was, because those things don't help startups. Those things are much more readily harnessed by the truly big companies.
Ask HN: Why do we do orthographic mistakes on keyboard but not in handwriting?
This is something that's troubled me for some time. Whether I write in English or in my native language, I sometimes make gross orthographic mistakes which are clearly pronounciation-relate, for instance I would write "sean" for "seen" or "plaid" for "played".

I have noticed that I am not the only one.

However, this never happens when manually writing with a pen.

That seems to indicate that somehow, keyboard-typing or manual-handwriting are a different brain operation/circuit.

To directly return a list of outputs without having to append to a list, TCL also provides lmap which works the same way:

lmap x $list1 y $list2 {Myfunc $x $y}

But wait there's more! Foreach and lmap also support taking more than one element from the list each time:

lmap {x y} $list1 {Myfunc $x $y}

I have spent a lot of time in the Android codebase building security/privacy focused ROMs. It was a very dark rabbit hole and in the end I realized the 240GB of messy blobs and source code can never be understood or audited by anyone.

Even if you did somehow get that much code regularly externally audited, there are piles of random binary blobs with root access supplied by cell carriers and chip vendors Google blindly includes in the vendor partition and a backdoor or bug in any one of them can burn it all down.

This is your opinion of “better” followed by an unsupported claim of where all products and services were ever created.

There was something really nice about developing on a Chromebook. It felt simplified in a very pleasant way.

I ultimately discontinued the practice because beefy Chromebooks never become commonplace, some points of development friction got tiresome, and I stopped preferring Chrome.

Yet I'm nostalgic for the experience.
Going in with full naivety, assuming the company actually has enough USD to redeem every single USDT in existence, but it’s a slow, manual process only offered to big holders. Wouldn’t the peg still not always hold in a volatile situation, like the current one? All that’s required is enough people not trusting Tether Inc.

It's not even necessarily confidence (though there probably are also people who are freaking out). If people have their money in USDT and fear losing out on other action (e.g. if you believe there'll be a rebound after the big drop of a lot of the coins the other day), you may be prepared to take a loss to sell your USDT even if you have a 100% confidence that Tether will get it back under control.

You'd only need to believe - reasonably or not - that you could potentially increase your net return on betting on a rebound in another coin by more than the depeg.

That says nothing about whether or not those sentiments are reasonable, of course.

It's pegged because they have enough money to cover their evaluation!!!!

If tether is worth 100B in market cap, they must have 100B in assets (collaterals) to cover their evaluation!

It's not a sentiment what the hell are you talking about. Economics 101

If that's the case tomorrow someone can create a new token, say is 1-1 with USD, collect a few billions and run away?
> At some point you can change enough of the text to not violate copyright. The grey area involves the courts.

> It feels very simple to me so I might be missing something.

In my opinion, you are missing something subtle:

In continental Europe, there is a different law tradition - civil law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_law_(legal_system) ) - that is different from the Anglo-American common law tradition. To quote from the wikipedia article:

"The civil law system is often contrasted with the common law system, which originated in medieval England, whose intellectual framework historically came from uncodified judge-made case law, and gives precedential authority to prior court decisions. [...] Conceptually, civil law proceeds from abstractions, formulates general principles, and distinguishes substantive rules from procedural rules. It holds case law secondary and subordinate to statutory law."

So if you are attached to the civil law system, you seriously want to avoid this grey area involving the courts (which is much more accepted in common law) and instead want to codify into laws what you mean by this grey area.
Personally, I'd stick for experimenting with something well supported by LineageOS - to get started, Pixel 3 or later series. These are as close to AOSP as you can get. The Pixel 6 is the most current model to be supported by Lineage, and at least stock firmware will get you security updates until at least 2026.

Stay away from Samsung (their Knox security stuff and custom bootloader is nasty, Samsung deviates quite a lot from Android standards under the hood and their ODIN firmware flash tool isn't available publicly and cracked versions only for Windows), Xiaomi and Huawei devices (different partition layout, custom bootloader) and obscure Chinese no-name devices as for them you will have to do a lot of leg work regarding drivers or even basic tooling setup on your own.

For development, stay the hell away from Windows if you can, if possible also from macOS. You're best served with a Linux machine.
Are anatomically accurate sculptures of human organs evidence for human sacrifice?

Apparently there are some ancient documents which attest to Etruscan human sacrifice (writings of Callimachus particularly), but modern scholars debate it. If the bronze organs they found here really are anatomically accurate, that seems likely evidence of human sacrifice to me. Or at least, the artists were witness to some cadaver dissections.

Star trek themselves addresses this in many many episodes. It was a key issue in the Voyager -> Kazon conflict.

>Ordinary volume manufacturing can cover that nicely,

This happened 150 years ago. It's what anti-capitalists are fighting against. The industrial revolution happened immediately before karl marx was born. This is what created the possibility for Marx to exist. Yet today for whatever reason the communists fight against this very thing. Boggles the mind.

If I were a communist, the path to communism is full robotics and automation.

>and more sustainable approaches can be used when we cease to program obsolescence.

Yes, a more modern problem of foreign manufacturing sending intentionally poorly designed goods to harm the wealth of our nations. We should be seeing planned obsolescence as a national security risk and set tariffs so high these planned obsolescence stuff goes away.
It's fear. When everyone is making money, confidence is high in crypto institutions and pegs are strong. But when a major crypto institution like FTX (that was supposed to be as legit as the come) becomes insolvent after apparently squandering the deposited funds of users which weren't supposed to be invested in the first place, people start to think that maybe the party is over, and that maybe, just maybe, Tether doesn't have the funds to back up the USDT peg.
Why? Pixel is stock android and also customization, so it needs attention to both.

Could a drop in the value of USDT represent a rush to get back into Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc after the recent fall rather than people attempting to convert USDT to dollars?
So the progression thus far as I see it has been:

* Every 1 USDT is backed by exactly 1 USD

* Ignore the haters, it's 1:1, we promise!

* Ok well it's 1:1 cash equivalents but that's just as good!

* Ok that includes commercial paper, but live a little! To the moooon!

* Ok so it's strayed a bit and now is not exactly backed 1:1, but it's only 2.5 cents out, come on that's barely anything

I wonder what the next stage will be.
I literally grew up in USSR, so unlike you I have direct lived experience. I can guarantee you that nobody I've ever met was thinking about escaping anywhere. Vast majority of people lived happy lives without many of the worries people in the west have today. For example, nobody worried that they're going to lose their job and end up on the street, or that they wouldn't be able to retire in dignity. It's impossible to describe how much stress this removes from people's lives.

However, the original point here was that the Soviet revolution improved conditions for the people far more rapidly than US has. As all the sources I've linked above clearly show, the quality of life saw drastic improvements happen at a rate never seen in capitalist countries like the US.

Wouldn’t that arbitrage put increasing pressure on the backer? If you’re taking on risk that your 98¢ USDT is actually worth less than that, presumably you’ll want to redeem it ASAP.
Depends where in Europe you live, though. And in recent years, even that is not enough for most countries with a strong Tourists sector, as rent goes up year on year (they increase rent during summer then lower it, but it's still higher than before). That's been going on for at least 15 years in some regions of Croatia. Not to mention everything (except salaries, od course) is being rounded up to Euros, so that's additionallt going to affect Croats.
It's hard for Tether to de-peg when BTC and ETH are crashing? When everyone sells the former, the demand for USDT is net positive.
There's nothing OOP-specific about this bug. The bug is in too-wide variable scoping, insufficient OO really.
Tether is the big one. If Tether collapses it's going to take down Binance and probably every other exchange with it.

People have been warning about this for quite some time [1]. Tether is clearly under capitalized, and if you believe the worst rumors, was basically a perpetual motion machine being used to prop up Bitcoins price.

That's the question I had. Ostensibly, people are giving away a dollar for 98 cents right now. I'm confused about why anyone would want to do that unless they thought that tethered dollar isn't actually worth a real US dollar. If USDT is fine, seems like free money is on the table...

Wonder if its a friction thing. Do you have to setup a special account to redeem on the primary channel?
It's not! You crypto bros have no idea what are you talking about.

To have a currency pegged 1-1 with USD (or any other currency to that extent) you must have enough collaterals to support the evaluation

Otherwise if, collectively, people put 1 billion USD in tether and then want to get it back altogether how do you think they can do if there's not an asset behind to cover the valuation?
I've been a beta user but the 10$/month price tag is too steep for me.

That being said, I'm beginning to think that having a price tag as entry barrier is a good thing for a search engine.

One of the reasons for Google's downfall is that they had to cater to dumb and easily controllable masses.

Also, the aggressive SEO that made the search results so bad made economical sense as soon as those masses flocked at the platform.

Kagi may only stay this good if it does not become too popular. I hope the developers think about the fact that their best strategy might be focusing on their current sizeable niche market of nerds and intellectually curious people.
USDT is at 98.4 cents now, so the upside is 1.6% (assuming USDT doesn't go over $1), and the downside is 100% if it goes to 0.
Actually upon further looking at the docs I don't think they can collect any information in the background.

Like the app has to register as being allowed in background mode, upon which if a push notification is sent to it the OS wakes it up for ~30 seconds to make an API call or set data. But there's no UI shown, there's no ability to track which app is open, or even if the device is awake or asleep. It's not like the apps are able to run code in the background whenever they choose.

not including apps with Allow in Background location permission, like bicycle tracking apps etc. but those are done with explicit permission from the user.

Presumably Tether run market-maker operations to stabilize it, but that requires keeping actually valuable cash at exchanges, which has its own risks. They can run out of firepower, and it's not as simple as it sounds to arbitrage between exchanges.
All my RPis had some kind of corruption sooner or later. At some point we blamed the shitty sdcard, but it happens with the supposedly good ones too. With the shitty ones I had unrecoverable boot and fs corruptions. With the good ones it is more subtle, some library is corrupted, some python module fails import, you can fix it by reinstalling the failing component but it always leaves me with some anxiety to trust it for serious stuff.

“it’s a slow, manual process only offered to big holders”

Is the most charitable reading you can give and I think it’s outside of peoples expectations of what a peg means.

I’m actually quite fine with tether having whatever redemption rules they want, but that is not the traditional definition you’d see with something like a money market. I would never say usdt is pegged to the dollar.
FTA: Comparing tokamak reactors to inertial fusion, Hawker added that "magnetic fusion is like a furnace. It's an always-on hot process because the particles are going around the donut. Whereas inertial fusion is more like an internal combustion engine. It's a pulsed process where you have a repetition rate and the energy per event multiplied by the frequency gives you the power."

Let’s give them that they will be able to get more energy out of a single shot than they put in.

Even then, how many shots do they plan to do per second, and how long will their setup last? The barrel of a hand fire-arm lasts for a few thousand shots or, expressed differently, a few seconds of use (https://www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/facts-abo...). Do larger guns fare better?

The 90s was actually a brief period where cars did look a little different because you had the prime of the minivan explosion and the beginning of the transition to SUVs along with regular passenger cars.

Then in the 2000s SUVs and desperate hunts for aerodynamic (and thus fuel efficiency) performance took over.

Here are some silhouettes of pony cars from the 60s and 2000s: https://silhouettehistory.com/post/146062752267/pony-retro-s...

They're the same, unless you are a hardcore car nut and can tell models apart from the rake of the B-pillar.

Actually I would argue that the three modern pony cars look more different from each other than the ones in the 60s and 70s did.

Of course there were exceptions, with classic sports, luxury, and utility vehicles standing out from their "normal, consumer" peers, but the same is true of today.

Nobody is going to mistake a Lotus Evora for a Toyota Camry.

But the 1968 Ford Fairlane and Chevy Impala were extremely similar-looking: boxy shape, long chrome stripe running down side, louvered vent below windshield, chrome trim around windshield, four sealed beam headlights, big chrome bumpers, similar windshield angles, wheelbase only 3 inches in difference. The same is true of the other car segments: one compact car looked like another, pickups looked the same, station wagons looked the same.

I think what might be happening is that, yes, all automobiles of the current generation and type look similar-- but so did all cars of the past generations and when making comparisons they're remarking on how different generational "cohorts" look different and mistakenly thinking that meant vehicles within the cohort looked different.
