So how about USDT losing its peg to the dollar, they some unknown that means nothing whatsoever?

by headsoup 4y ago
USDT is fine? It's been off-peg all day. I hope if you've got some you've read their terms and conditions. Do you remember the 42Mil fine they paid a couple of years ago for not actually holding reserves? I'm sure they

There used to be a system like this that doesn't get mentioned much, I think it was called things like 'apprenticeship,' 'cadetship,' 'technical school' and such. If governments are going to fund anything,

Does it really make more than creating ads and targeting them appropriately at the right interest groups (i.e. advertising footballs on a sport fan site)? Aside requiring snooping to be effective in the first place. Are there good studies

Idiotically Risky Returns? I think that makes sense anyway. Or, I don't know either and can't believe it is not explained at all in the article. Guess we're not the target audience.

Of course we can, but doing it at a society scale is very difficult and you have to be vary careful about who is on charge - or ends up with most influence - as history has consistently shown. I think it's easy (well reasonably) to do

Absolutely correct. Their moderation idea quoted here sounds horrible, as in 'we'll take you to room 101 for re-education' horrible. You just point users to the moderation/conduct guidelines and ban them if they contin

I get that, but it's not quite the same as the sentiment here of 'change jobs every year or few or you're leaving money on the table' except also being based on greed and ego.

Or, if you think your employer's business is worthwhile and you are looked after well, why would you? It seems a common attitude these days that all workplaces are temporary and ripping you off if you stick around. Such ego. Someday t

And people continue to misunderstand that it is the driver manufacturers not supporting Linux that is usually the issue, not that 'Linux doesn't work with xx hardware' because of some inherent Linux failure.

This precisely points out the problem. Moderation is human, algorithms can't do it and humans are inconsistent. I've been a moderator before, within a team of moderators. There were varying views within that group from 'ban

I think perhaps an option is not to limit how often people can post, but limit how little they post, i.e. there is a minimum word limit for each post. Add the 'like' options for any general short response (agree, like, love,
