A run on the currency just becomes a run on the underlying currencies, which, as a basket of global currencies, cannot all be run at once since each one is inherently relative to the others. Second point is right on the money though!

But if a huge chunk of major global currencies go belly-up at the same time the world has much larger issues than Libra taking a, say 20% dive - the volatility in all kinds of sectors would dwarf that. All other aspects of the design strike

No, it's not blockchain based.

In my reading that's how it would've worked if she'd registered, am I off? Not sure how it'd be possible so sort out on the spot without that. But of course ridiculous that it took such hoops to fix after the fact.

Yeah, I remember the "8.8.8.8" graffiti. At least workarounds are still simple enough, if not quite as easy as before.

Nope, 400 is strictly Americans, and was released a week ago. I give up.

Yup. Other issue for many of them (which WeWork actually should be less exposed to) is that, most of it hardly being rocket science, "blow money until monopoly" seems to forget that customer subsidies A. aren't r&d/i

Sounds more like an adaption to a longer than 24h circadian rhythm than bipolar disorder, which shouldn't cycle that fast or regularly.

50-60h is my limit, and luckily haven't been near that in a long time. Shit gets weird. Not having met anyone that claimed 72h+ probably mostly just means you've never known any speed freaks - what happens after that mostly depend

How are you commenting on something like this without knowing about Forbes 400? Are you serious?

Apart from being the only feasible option (how would you fine a crowd?) the idea is to make supporters think twice about doing stuff that will end up fucking over their team. Obviously doesn't work as well if the sanctioned actions are

Also how most people are so scared shitless of anything like the genocide happening again (beyond understandable obviously) and thankful to Kagame it hasn't, they don't really seem to mind too much about the terrible shit he pulls

I think we all know a ten-point swing is not forthcoming. Especially looking back, it's not like this is the first time someone's run the numbers... And most of the piece is spent arguing against something somewhere between an asi

What terrible analysis. "Saez and Zucman train much of their focus on the 400 wealthiest Americans. This group makes up 0.0003% of households. The New York Times column describing the Saez-Zucman estimates reports that last year this g

I’d say a conflict zone is an area of at least semi-active clashes. Sectarian violence may or may not cut it - were Nazi concentration camps conflict zones? I’m not saying it’s safe or anything, but Baghdad was spared ISIS, the former gree

"The very act of breaking in means they are ready to commit violence." You really believe this? What makes you think you speak for people in general, or know the mind of the average burglar? And how far does your equivalence view

It's not actually a conflict zone.

While those numbers are obviously competely unacceptable by any measure whatsoever, the fact that 9 of the dead are security forces should show that the entire situation is also simply _much_ more hardcore all around, compared to HK. Also n

Ah, so the app is fully p2p? I was wondering what (apart from principle) made having it at all important but in that case it makes sense.

How does it make them look bad? In any case when it was developed WhatsApp was still early days (and supposed to eventually charge fees), and neither Messenger nor the others existed. It succeeded well enough that in very iPhone-heavy marke

But a supervised device is neither wiped, locked, nor extremely uncommon, nor does the device owner usually have the means to break the pairing, so I reckon you're off base here. It is a normal device with normal data, it just can&#x27

For straight theft, usually not, but in my experience losing a phone is a more common scenario, and quite often when tracking one (as I often end up doing for friends, since findmyiphone somehow counts as "hacking" to them) you&#x

Sadly the projector in the link is just an art project/proof of concept. So maybe something like that, but for real? Otherwise, glasses, scarves, hoodies, umbrellas, numbers... the usual, no? Makeup and lofi prosthetics if you wanted t

Being off on semantics isn't really the same as lying, in much the same way as nit-picking isn't widely considered a virtue.

Article leads with 11 dead and "Macron chaos". But with deaths being caused not by police but traffic, wouldn't that imply that response has been far too muted, rather than overboard? What are you actually trying to say?

Sounds less NBC and more (in fact exactly) like It’s Always Sunny. Specifically Charlie in the mailroom with Pepe Sylvia, and the pissing thing is just classic Frank.
