Learning Elixir and starting to use is in projects is at the top of my TODO list for 2021. I tried to get into a while back, but being unfamiliar with functional programming concepts at the time really got me. Learning a new language and tr

Here't another post I made that does a really good job at explaining the whole Tether history and current situation. There is a rapidly approaching deadline for them to provide documents to the New York Attorney General, folks are very

Haha, good question. My guess is Tether Limited would very happy to collect their $100K in transaction fees and send you on your merry way. https://tether.to/fees/

Yeah, you can exchange them for USD if you have a minimum transaction of $100,000 :)

Yeah, I'm not super well versed on this, I think they settled a separate issue a while ago you might be thinking of. It's surprisingly hard to find info on this, buried in a bunch of crap to do with the bitcoin going nuts. I'

There have been a lot of accusations about the Tether/ Bitfinex relationship, and whether or not they are illicitly manipulating the bitcoin market. Considering the unprecedented bitcoin rally, the fact that Tether 'printed'

I like a good time tracker app. I appreciate this is open source too! Some feedback... After playing with the demo, there is one thing that really jumps out to me I don't quite understand. It's looks like time get grouped into the

Is it possible they are growing crops that don't require pollination? Many do not. Even though farms are smaller in the UK, am I correct in assuming that many farmers still practice mono-crop? If they do, then depending on wild pollina

That's fair. I guess I'm technically off topic. I shouldn't assume the systems we've built in USA apply to every other country. It's a rant that's been building up in my head for a while, so I had to get it out

I think you're right, both things are certainly true. I might have gotten a little lost in my angry rant, but what I'm trying to say is many of these articles are not presenting the subject in a fair manner. If the pesticides harm

You're not wrong, but 'wild' honey bees in general aren't the ones being exposed to large commercial farms. Sure there is collateral damage, but that's not enough to endanger honey bees as a whole. It's also im

Technically you are right, there isn't much difference between them because anything we call a 'wild' honey bee in America, was once a 'domesticated' honey bee brought over by European settlers. Also, I did not mean

Fair point, they are calling it 'temporary' for now. But that's not going to make the diseases they are battling go away in a few years.

by 40four 6y ago
This is fair. I did not mean to suggest there are no issues with wild bee populations declining. There certainly are. Also it's important to note that anything we call a 'wild' honey bee now is just a descendant of a once &#x

Despite having smaller farms, I would be very surprised if farmers in the UK were not working with local beekeepers. Anytime you see a those hive boxes sitting randomly in a field somewhere, this is what you are seeing.

From the 'National Honey Board' website (USA) https://honey.com/newsroom/presskit/honey-industry-facts Many commercial beekeepers migrate their colonies during the year to provide pollination services

I’m not really sure yet how I feel about this particular case of temporary emergency authorization (which is omitted from the title). I get the chemicals were banned for good reason, but in this case they are trying to prevent a whole commo

I'm not a finance or a crypto expert, so don't take my word on it. But many people way smarter than me have been trying to prove this hypothesis for years. Bitfinex doesn't exactly have a reputation that deserves any trust, s

It’s not individuals buying Tether from Bitfinex and then buying Bitcoin that causes this. It is Bitfinex as an organization ‘printing’ free money and using it to pump the market.

Good point, but most of it is light rail above ground, with only a small portion underground downtown. I’ve ridden on it, they are nice trains. And a nice option for suburb commuters. Rush hour gets pretty crazy there also, with everyone tr

Agreed, this article is terrible, and simply repeats a lot of inaccurate tropes about bees environmentalist groups like to parot.

I have to imagine this is exactly the product the student used. It’s cool someone made a business out of this idea. It actually sounds fun, I might like to get one!
