Tether is worth eleventy billion dollars, so people holding them seem to trust the backing to a certain extent.
Tether is available on several blockchains, adding another entity one must trust to hold the tether stable coin.
Why does tether need a blockchain? Couldn’t they just fork one and run a centralized ledger, since trust is still required?
But better, why don’t they just run a cashu mint, and then issue cashu tokens, allowing privacy, speed, and bearer instrument quality to their product?
EOs should be challenged but not “stoppable” by anyone but the Supreme Court.
I love ACB ripping into Jackson, and that the other justices signed off on it. Lowest common denominator judicial is not the bar for the Supreme Court.
Stipulate that you be allowed to record the entire thing before agreeing to give it.
Then post the audio on nostr.
Remember Barack Obama “didn’t have any scandals.”
When you have control of the narrative you can frame the discourse.
The question is “who did the thing?”
(D) politician -> perfectly normal, why is the “right wing media” *pouncing*?
Trump - *obviously* this is (illegal, highly irregular, scandalous, impeachable…) and all you people that voted for this are obviously regretting your decision.
The liberal disease left unchecked makes a balanced discussion seem “far right.”
Pushback is needed and welcome. I’m surprised how effectively it’s moved off the far left boundary in only a few short months.
Most of the people who criticize nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m over how Twitter was ran towards the end have no idea how thoroughly Leftism had captured the tech space in San Francisco.
Up until only recently, doing anything other than "playing the game" would get you raked over the coals of toxic masculinity, having your career and reputation destroyed. Remember Uber founder Travis Kalanick?
Leadership across Big Tech unanimously went along with the woke agenda when it was popular, and by the time the Left past the point of no return, drunk on neomarxist thought, boards had already lost control. Google. Facebook. Twitter. All of them.
I was in it. Employees were every bit the woke mob we saw burning cities down. Companies were in too deep to back out. Now you see the relief as more and more companies shake free.
It was a dangerous cultural phenomenon that metastisized into irreversible madness. You don't just walk away from something like that. The mob can't just be made to "come to their senses". Not in San Francisco. Not even by the CEO, the founder, or the board.
Leftism is extremely dangerous.
Sure but he doesn’t get a pass because everyone else was doing it.
Do the right thing, not what the mob wants.
Is it bad to try to denaturalize and deport someone? What’s your reasoning if you don’t care what “that old piece of paper written by those racist slaveowners” says?
Isn’t it the Wild West where we can just arbitrarily decide what we “feel” should be the right thing to do?
Lawlessness and anarchy is fun, until you don’t agree with everyone else. Then you see you need some order, and the process starts over.
Got it. So you only want to play by the rules if they let you kill babies.
Remember your angst when there were roadblocks to your made up “right” to abortion?
Defund the police, amirite? Then you could have your lawless society.
Broadly speaking yes. I’m not anarchic tho.
And I would live in a state with severe restrictions on murdering babies.
That’s the beauty of the 50 state governmental experiments. I would fight the battles that matter to me and move to a better state if it was too oppressive.
But outside of that answer to your broad question and my above addition you shouldn’t put any more “beliefs” on me that I should or shouldn’t hold.
Simple question for you: do you agree that roe and other extra-constitutional laws should be decided at the state level and not the federal level, as the 10A states?
I’m sure there are lots of “flaws” in laws and execution at several states. If I don’t live there, it doesn’t matter to me, and I have no right to have a state change their laws.
Do you think I should have input on your state legislature if I don’t live there?
And then, by extension, if the law is messed up in my state, there’s a democratic process to fix it with elected (by me) officials.
The MSM framing is so tiring. Trump is not *taking away your rights.*
The ability to absurdly frame narratives has lost a lot of energy since the election, thankfully. Pride month has been gloriously muted.
I’m sorry the Supreme Court and the Constitution disagree with your desire.
I want to take all *federal* government intervention that is unconstitutional and “send it to the states,” exactly like they did when overturning Roe.
Then if a state tries something *unconstitutional* I expect the Supreme Court to overturn, as is the agreed upon “law of the land.”
That is my position, always has been, and I do not accept your premise that you try to frame as something I “probably agree with.”
So your post is what? Tell me the lie.
The bombs did nothing, or what exactly?
We normally strive for 3% inflation bumps, but I think those are going to erode too quickly going forward. We’re probably looking at 4-5 to maintain. (Really 7-8, but asking that is probably unrealistic until it’s persistent.)
If you live in this country the Supreme Court has determined that you don’t have a *right* to an abortion.
You started this by asking my take on Trump and republicans trying to limit your “rights.”
This entire thread is moot.
So Florida law (and every other state) allows your precious abortion in the case you cited, without having to ask any politician.
Because it went down this way, where they had to appeal to authority, is wrong, and not how the law is written.
None of that changes the fact that your entire position is gaslighting and wrong, and moot. It’s a typical tactic to say that orange man is *taking away your rights*, and I reject that premise on its face.
This is the mal-investment the US should be most concerned about.
We have created an industry of financial derivative jobs that are not productive to human progress.
Productive jobs should be incentivized.
The machines iterate quicker and have a much larger hive-mind than any programmer.
Give it a year.
CNBC (the only source for science) out here lecturing us on how RFK has made people question the safety of vaccines.
I voted for this.
When I bought mine they told me guys usually put it too firm. I’m slowly creeping up the scale, I think I’m over 50 rn.
NYC dem mayoral candidate is a sinkhole for their party.
Groupthink causes this, which is the best argument for local government.
I don’t agree with how generic California man views the role of government, so why should some DC bureaucrat have influence on my day to day.
Looks like I was right then. You seem “nice”, by that definition.
Totally redeeming their credibility. Great job guys!
I hope nostr is the endgame and all the comms simplify to one:
email, twitter-social, DMs, groups.
Just signed notes with best practices and one protocol to rule them all.
