   There are a host of smart reasons for this, like moving to franchising or a deal with an oil/gas/infrastructure company more suited for low innovation work. NACS is a solved problem, its simple a roll out issue and likely not wor

   Why has he done it? Some thoughts: - NACS has become the open, industry standard - The tech has been figured out, commoditized and not an area for innovation - He made a deal with a gas station to take over deployment - Version 4 Super Cha

   My (non-crypto) company uses USDC daily on L2 Arbitrum for international settlement, and have seen the fees drop to a few cents per transaction with the release of blobs. We have replaced the need for wires/TransferWise/Revolut o

   Excessive. It's not hard to take away his ability to do harm again, he is not a threat to society. In fact, put him to work righting all his wrongs. This judge and sentence a waste of taxpayer money.

    Much of the eSIM dislike on this thread misses several points: * eSIM for travel vs eSIM for home use are completely different use cases. * US, Canada and other carrier from other countries severely hamper the experience by charging for QR

    I have 10 eSIMs on my iOS (iPhone 12) device currently, with one active eSIM and one active pSIM.

    And the start of naming your 8 eSIMs meaningful descriptive identifiers.

    All depends on what problem you value. If you do any kind of international travel the value is clear. If you care about waste and manufacture of an unnecessary product the value is clear.

    Great! EDX will trade crypto without actually having any of it. What will they invent next, 2 day settlement times? Why do real time settlement when we can go back to the clearinghouse model which has been with us since the early days of

    "Binance, commingled customer funds with company revenue in 2020 and 2021, in breach of U.S. financial rules" Guess it is fortunate for them they are not a US company governed by U.S. financial rules.

    Poor messaging amplified by speed of light communications (twitter) and fast online redemptions. We're in a new era of flash mob bank runs. Likely time for a rethink on regulations - like moving to daily mark-to-market of bank securi

    Sorry, how is this irresponsible? Leaders that imagine and vocally describe a plausible negative outcome seems quite sensible. Seems the equivalent of screaming fire in a crowded theater, when there is an actual fire.

    I spent a fair bit of mental anguish on whether to purchase FSD or not. Thankfully the FSD subscription was out and I reasoned that it could be turned on when valuable enough. The FOMO pricing of FSD seems unnecessary, in retrospect.

    I was a paying user and they switched plans, removed me. Bloat, constant unwanted change killed it for me. I now use a mix of Notes, Joplin, Notion, Paper and Google Docs.

    All great US-centric points! If you're living in Venezuela, Turkey, Argentina, Russia, Poland or other country with anywhere from 15 to 167% inflation, you might just be happy to have access to USD via easy to get stablecoins.
