The commenter you're replying to is "all in on the concept that Tether is a fraud", not "all in on that the concept of Tether is a fraud". Ie they're talking about Tether specifically, not the concept of fiat-b

It is laid out pretty well in the link you got how it is not pegged to the US dollar (which I don't think anyone claimed either).

If you have an adversarial mindset (which is absolutely healthy) and want to understand it well enough to not immediately come up with counterarguments whose only valid reply is "RTFM", yes, it takes at least 20 minutes. But regar

Yes, and it's tricky to make a smooth UX out of it in a web browser setting but the technology is absolutely there. IIRC we managed to make it server-less (in the true sense) apart from the need of a Namecoin gateway. Typically you wou

You really shouldn't need any server-side at all for something like this these days (thinking about firebase). Webtorrent should be mature enough. We did something similar back 5 years ago for our BSc thesis project, using a DHT and Na

GitHub doesn’t sell product in the same way as your examples. They are a service provider. I’d say different dynamics come in with services (hosting content, providing and managing infrastructure, providing support and maybe even consulting

Yeah, this is exactly the reason I stopped using the Swedish/Finnish layout altogether. It must be hundreds or even thousands of time I accidentally typed :( instead of :) in IMs because someone at some point decided the parentheses ha

Not that this addresses your main question, but for most latin script languages you'll be fine with always using the altgr-intl variant of en-us. As for mobile, you can generally find the language-specific ones when pressing and holdin

This! Somehow I feel that the desktop UX model of 90s were actually conceptually much better than what most modern apps are doing and it's a shame that instead of doing incremental improvements on that (sure, it's far from perfect

Maybe this is something that change during the 80s, but my understanding is that the people you are talking about were mainly referred to as "crackers". The demos in keygens and intros were commonly known as "cracktros".

This is a person in a C-level position. It's very much inherent in those positions to take responsibility in situations like this. If the comment had been made by a random fellow team-member without any authority, I would have been mor

Apart from already mentioned Mattermost[0] and rocket.chat[1], Matrix[2] and their main client Riot[3] is seriously worth checking out. It's a quite ambitious effort for decentralized, federated IM / group communication. There&#x2

From what I understand, it's slightly worse - the local matching is quite promiscuous in that it will be likely to trigger on false positives and then forward it to the remote backend where the actual match is confirmed, where sent dat

Just like with brand-name-clothing pressure that parents say they face in the west, most of this pressure is self-imposed and opt-outable. Kids (and adults) will always find superficial things to form identity around and parents are making

I'd wager the lack of availability and communication of widely accessible videos were limited mostly by cost of bandwidth. Watching videos over 28k was no joy. In the early 2000s before YouTube, IME it was a lot more about P2P than web

Is using "they" as third-person pronoun across the board potentially problematic on SE? I can get that a person identifying as "she" shouldn't be referred to as "he" and vice-versa, but if somebody's

Don't you think there would be more outrage if more people were aware both that it's happening and of its implications and possibilities? I think there's a large ignorance (and I can't really blame people) here. The inte

Even more, I blame non-existent sandboxing. Anything could practically be root for a long time. With proper permission control and isolated storage for apps, installing anything does not equal cesspit of virus-laden software.

I sacrificed a couple of other priorities to get a flat within 10 minutes walk from the office. So yeah, no long commutes for me either way. I think around 30 minutes door-to-door is where I would draw the line, personally.
