> Binance’s website told customers their dollar transfers were “deposits” that would be “credited” to their trading accounts in the form of BUSD. Customers were told they could “withdraw” their deposits as dollars. These representations

I always think "the number of reasons is infinite" is very snarky. I think he probably wants to extract some stats out of the answers. Maybe some reasons are more common than others. It's not a bad question.

Problem is they first sell you the car. The later they tell you they can make it even better with a subscription, and you realize they are just double dipping.

I think after using so many of these organization apps, I used plaintext note taking apps, sublime text, trello, more structured note taking apps (evernote, Agenda for Mac, etc), Todo apps (so many of them, incl pomodoro style), then went b

Still is there value? whether you submit a unique email address, this model would still work for the millions of users who do not correct? Also, I assume icloud or similar services are not immune to leaks?

Is it a good idea to build an newsletter subscription service (like mailchimp) that works like apple email relay, where the customers don't have access to the actual emails? The difference would be on trust that the provider will not u

You don't need to make the laws to give advice. Are you saying the SEC can't or isn't required? Because not being required does not mean they shouldn't do it.

I've been looking at Substack with the eyes of someone who has lived through the enshitment of Quora, Medium et al, and realized there are never guarantees with any such service. Apparently I owe them money and attention, and they owe

Don't think this is the point. Calling something Oranges, and then saying "they're not really oranges, but an approximation, but we call them oranges bc it sounds cool" is still fraudulent in my view.

It’s not true that established brands made cheaper products to compete. Their prices remained the same or got higher, but quality still suffered. It’s just greed, no complex reasoning required. I recently bought a gym bag from Nike. Feels s

Regarding substack notes, I’m skeptical it will succeed. I haven’t seen any short form social media other than Twitter succeed and I think that because Twitter was such an innovation and such a mistery. No one new what it was or how to use

To me, common sense should always be derived from first principles, and there should be legally required that every concept/argument be also decomposable and provable from first principles. Things/concepts should only become commo

Something is always the problem. With a VPS, you don’t usually have to worry about DO being a problem. You pay your bills, your server stays up. Maybe if you don’t update you might get hacked, but killed by provider update is not a failure

I always thought that, redundancies aside, bare minimum was the only way to hire. So why should France want a company to hire 100x more engineers than it needs (and can/will fire at the slightest earnings glitch). This goes for all cou

Agree, I'm always doing CTRL+F "archiv". Whoever shares these, can they start providing only the archived version? Is there some copyright issue with that?

The reason for this often is that the service works differently for different regions and depending on how it was implemented (as in launched quickly not thinking of multiple scenarios) you may have an account with US activity (transactions

It’s not great that they were this unprofessional, but many (most?) companies will not give you the real reason for passing. You may get “there were better candidates” and it might be true, but it might just have been your expected salary,

The user should provide a password, that is only useful if the service emails the recipients with a link to hosted page that will decrypt the data client side.

I think we should accept that this is a good move and leave it at that. I remember a thread a few weeks back where we were criticizing stripe about the incoming deadline and how stripe would end up screwing early employees. Now they made th

I use it, for autocomplete. It’s great for creating the text for string constants, error messages, autocompleting if statements (which if variables are properly named, works great). Speeds up repetitive work but it’s not useful for actual p

Parent comment is right. Whether they monitor social media or not, it is only needed because their official support channel failed and shut the door on their customers. So they're here to pick up the pieces for PR. If this forum was no
