If the wider "crypto community" has been so distrustful of Tether, why have they allowed it to become such a systemically important pillar of the whole market?

Things like cobbling on a bunch of heuristic rule-based behaviours that wouldn't look good in the public repo of a supposed quasi-AGI system?

I live in a country with 5 million people. Any software targeting the local market automatically has much less potential for growth than in the US with its 330 mln, so the work of making it has comparably less economic value. I'd say t

Funny you should mention unions. They seem like the only vehicle (imperfect as it may be) the first group has to keep the second group in check.

Every fire starts small. And besides, the guy has already demonstrated that he lacks critical thinking skills.

There is so much leverage in the economy that an abrupt shift towards anything approaching Volker-level rates would mean a catastrophic level of defaults in all sectors. By keeping rates so low for so long what they've really done is p

Agreed on YT Kids, it's a lot of garbage with very little educational value. But what's wrong with Disney streaming? My 3 yo is allowed to play with a tablet for a few hours per week, locked so he can only access Netflix, Disney a

It's possible to walk a middle road here. My 11-y.o. daughter has a smartphone, but I use parental controls so she can only use apps for a certain amount of time each day (I chose 1 hr on weekdays, 2 hrs on weekends). This makes it pos

What about Spring4Shell, isn't updating at this point pretty much a necessity?

You could play the first 4 levels for free, like classical shareware. And it was released on both iPhone and Android.

Thanks, then it looks like I have even one more reason to drop them. Will uninstall this evening.

Are you guys even parents? Because you sure make yourselves sound like experts. The truth is I know my kids will make absolutely terrible choices if I leave everything up to them. I myself made a lot of bad choices growing up with unsupervi

Very helpful to control their apps and give them a daily screen time allowance (1 hour on weekdays, 2 hours in weekend). I don't like the idea of my 11 year old spending days and nights on e.g. TikTok, not to mention browsing for porn.

I'm guessing I can't rely on the Kaspersky software I have on my phones to stay in service. It's a shame, SafeKids has really been helpful in monitoring my kids.

Interesting to note that the CTO of Azure cites this article as a source of reasons 'blockchains are a dead end'. https://twitter.com/markrussinovich/status/14921748339452313...

Self-driving cars, yes, but I'd say AI/ML in general reached at least level 3/4 at some point over the past few years. Seems to be cooling off a bit these days, though.

Note that when SOFR starts to fluctuate, you wont know your actual interest payment before the end of each payment period, since these rates are applied on a daily basis, in arrears.

What about SONIA, isn't that the dollar based equivalent?

I know they will use a fallback spread to convert 3 month Libor to SOFR. But is the spread really a constant?

Right-wing American libertarians in particular have this simplistic view that government control over anything is the root of all evil. Therefore the decentralized aspect of crypto must seem like a wet dream. I believe the system where a se

A non-inflationary currency promotes hoarding. The biggest whales in crypto own a huge chunk of the total supply, even more so than in our current fiat system. How you think such a system does anything but worsen wealth inequality is a myst

'Zooming out and seeing the big picture' seems to mean buying into a libertarian vision of the world where the current money system is horribly broken and blockchain technologies are a viable and superior alternative. I profoundly

Without an on-ramp and off-ramp for converting into dollars/euros, Bitcoin is entirely useless, even for the hardcore idealists like yourself. And those can quite easily be made illegal.

I'd say public opinion is absolutely swaying in the direction of a ban, especially as the facts become clearer.

Human beings are also designed for aggression towards each other, yet we generally try to control those parts of our 'savage nature' in modern society. Torturing defenseless animals is not an inescapable facet of human nature. It&

What could pop the bubble then would be a sharp reversal of this type of policy, like a return to 1980s-level interest rates. But they have zero incentive to go that route, as far as I can see.
