This is not a risk to Tether. They can just issue more Tethers to cover any market turbulence so that the price stays stable. You need to understand that these drawdowns cause an inflection in demand that drives monetary energy into the

But with Amazon, there's a reason they've grown as large as they are. They have a model that produced the world's most successful logistics business. They provide a service that is useful to people. Now they've produ

You should try Azure sometime. It’s a cloud service run by some scrappy upstart in the Pacific Northwest. I heard they have some of the best support for developers, despite not having the name cachet around HN that the bigger players have.

Who are the equivalents of Amazon and Google? Amazon and Google. This has been my biggest issue with cultocurrency since it’s inception. The market cap of the whole lot is made up of maybe 0.04% innovative signing and 99.96% magic beans.

Well that's what I figured but it doesn't make a lot of sense either way

Can’t tell if this is fully sarcasm or acknowledging some of the data historically.

It’s unfortunate. In every other way it’s been an almost shocking leap forward, on the order of the HDD -> SSD transition when that happened. For me, the performance and longevity I’ve been getting from a machine this light and without f

Get that performance from where though? The big M1 numbers came from getting ahead of the rest of the market on 5nm TSMC, and critically from packing everything into the SOC so physical distances were reduced by multiple orders of magnitude

Losing eGPU really hurts. I had three-up before, and now I’m back to the laptop and one central display. I could get a cheap DisplayLink hub but the performance is poor and I’m not happy with granting their driver screen recording permissio

How many synonyms did you try before you landed on “imprecise”? It’s a very diplomatic choice. Moreso than I’d have gone with. I admire your restraint!

I don't know that timesaving was mentioned, but it still would save time in terms of jumping in and out of games on the browser. I don't see how fragmentation alters the cost-benefit of only paying for the timeshare of compute res

Right... but this is a thread about a video game running on a video game service running in a web browser?

by highwaylights 4y ago
To be fair, issues with lag aside, this is a pretty perfect use case for timesharing. Most people pay a lot of money for expensive components (games console or gaming PC) that they get limited utility from because they have other interests

I can't speak to whether your assertion is true or not (I've no experience of Netflix or it's hiring), but it kind of makes sense that this would happen if you think of the Netflix journey to date. They transitioned from a ma

Absolutely this. I can lose my wallet - I know how much that's realistically going to cost me and I'm protected against fraud and theft regardless, save for the headache of making a few phone calls. The world really hasn't a

Question for you about this as I've often considered it. What is the life of a yubikey? Do they degrade over time horizons? The reason I ask is that if you have a backup that you never hope to use it's likely to be accessed only

Ok.. but hear me out here. What if the only computer (or even the only Apple computer) a user has is an iphone, and someone swipes it? Surely in that case you're now locked out of literally everything, no? Please explain to me why this

I agree this is completely unjustifiable, especially with regards to the Mac Pro. Can these machines even run Linux without losing hardware features (like T2 acceleration?) The above said, I can see why they want to do it. It makes sense t

This, but I think it goes beyond this too. If Apple allows exceptions to the iOS sandbox for developers, it will very rapidly be abused by users who don’t understand the implications of what they’re doing. You can see this in the many just-

I feel like this is a bad faith argument. Enthusiast ports are already niche, and therefore not lucrative targets. This project has stated that a long term goal is keeping the many iPads that have fallen out of support in service. If the

I don’t like saying this, but the way solutions like this are presented makes me really uneasy. I think it’s a laudable effort, and it’s noble that the authors want to reduce e-waste, but I feel like they should make really clear right at t
