This is how capital formation works. Innovation has never been a game of investing _precisely_ the amount of money needed to create the next invention. It's precipitated by people throwing way too much money at everything, hoping to ge

Ah – a perpetual swap (perp) doesn't actually settle like a futures contract does. It is purely a synthetic instrument that tracks the price of the underlying instrument (Tether, in this case). The contract technically does not settle

If you're worried about stop/liquidation hunting, you can establish a 1x position that involves zero leverage and zero chance of getting ADL'd out of a position.

1. I'm not sure what you mean by this. The closest thing to a margin call is an auto-deleveraging. Markets can get messy during periods of mass liquidations but the risk is knowable, and it's in the size of the insurance fund. 2.

This couldn't be further from the truth. Market makers would be glad to sell Tether at a premium. Bitfinex only has enough money so as to retire all Tether coins and buy not a cent more. That said, if you're truly bearish on Tethe

That's not how perpetual futures work. Perps settle in cash, not the underlying. You pay interest in the form of funding, which is paid every x hours. The primary risk of using perps is if the insurance fund gets wiped out due to slipp

It seems that the regulatory system is broken and I don't know how to fix it other than to remove the barriers of entry to this industry. Four manufacturers, consisting of 89% of the nations supply, have so much influence over a regula

It is not a ponzi. The 20% they were paying out should be considered a cost of user acquisition paid out by the team themselves. If paying incentives to attract users is a crime, we’d have to shutter most startups. I’m not defending Terra,

If I recall correctly, there's less a concern about Google than there are of malicious third-party data harvesters that gain full access to users inboxes by offering their service under the guise of being an email client. Edison Mail,

When it comes to defense, republicans and democrats see the world similarly. It's the one topic which you could say there's no gap in their desires. Republicans and democrats place utmost value in the American hegemony.

This is a bizarre perspective, especially because our lessons in Afghanistan and Iraq have taught us that the invasion itself occurs simply and uneventfully. Remolding the conquered land to become invader friendly is, on the other hand, an

Indeed. The first time I felt this sensation was during the Japanese tsunamis, where we were fed a live, HD footage of the flooding from the vantage point of news helicopters. I pray that we’ll never have to use tools like these for anythin

Wow, I totally forgot about doing this. It was a great trick in a pinch. Dropbox offered me a much better solution to do the same thing in college, which was to submit my assignment on time, via a Dropbox link in email, but to a blank word

You are being gross. You should disassociate the AirTag from your account. You seem to insist that you forgot to take the AirTag off, and that leaving it on was an accident. Well, you now know that you didn't and, since you don't

I suppose so. If you're payment to an agent to carry out either task, the downstream complexity of the task is irrelevant because the difficulty to you is the same.

The big difference is that hardware depreciates. Proof of stake requires none other than a single purchase to be gifted the right to perpetual seignorage. Staking ETH once versus constant operation of a mining farm is a non-trivial delta in

I don't think it's brilliant. I think that the difficulty bomb is something akin to the debt ceiling in that it can be arbitrarily pushed back so, in reality, the real effect of the "bomb" is to give smaller groups of pe

I was probably in third grade when I saw the movie. I hugely let down by it. My young self would have agreed with Ebert's review. It was just an extended episode, and the episodes were not known for their depth. My friends didn't

One thing I've always appreciated about Ebert's reviews is that he [has explicitly stated that he] rates movies from the context of the intended audience[1], rather than from the context of an aloof movie critic. I like that he ta

First, I'm guessing that what you provided is a lot less than someone would have to provide in a medical trial. Second, demonstrating your willingness to describe yourself on a public forum is a lot different than someone expecting con
