There are two different kinds of stablecoins. One is algorithmic stablecoins, which you probably remember from the Terra/Luna collapse. It relies on issuing/redeeming one cryptocurrency for another to keep the peg, which works mat

What permissions do iOS or Android withhold that prevent you from doing this? The reason car manufacturers don't do this is that it makes no sense to put the software in the phone if you're not trying to make the software portable

I'm also on the free trial, this is relatively close to my experience. It's phenomenal on the highway, but it's too "good" of a driver in town that it feels like you'd never get anywhere because you're the

What? Of course there is. Starlink satellites have a five year lifespan before they deorbit, and can be commanded to do so earlier if there’s an issue.

Sure, but that doesn't change the point. The App Store exists as it is because the iPhone was a phone and that's how things were done on phones. Apple didn't create the model, they just continued it.

Apple even opened it up as an API that's cheaper than lots of the others! I don't know where people get this idea that DS died, it's like they just took what happens to lots of other startup acquisitions and extrapolate it li

I was familiar with this as a high schooler but it never occurred to me that 2 bits was 1/4 of a dollar. It was like a nursery rhyme where you don't really think about what the words actually mean.
