21st century's version of the gold bug :)

Congestion has only cleared because the transaction volume has fallen to a two-year low:

The bubble is deflating, in case you haven't noticed.
It doesn't benefit you, as you're left holding a bag of useless scrip if there's a big crash.
Which is precisely why tether is such a cause for concern. Well, except for crypto fanatics that call anything perceived as negative as baseless FUD.
Not very surprised, no. It was just a matter of time until it became public:
They spoof their order books and use wash trading bots...so draw your own conclusions :)
Eg:
It's not at all sustainable, though.
So what? If I launch a cryptocurrency that will only ever mine 21 coins, how does that make it magically orders of magnitude more valuable than bitcoin just because it's more scarce.
Because it's a ridiculous proposition. Just opening and closing a channel will require a transaction on-chain, with the accompanying fees.
And if someone sends you coins, you can only spend them if there's a route to whoever you want to pay, otherwise you have to close the channel....and again pay the damn fee.
Lastly: it's not even a network. A network implies that there are multiple connected nodes, and AFAIK the number of merchants using LN in production is exactly zero.
How will you download and verify the chain when it hits double digit TBs?
How about 10 years from now, when the storage requirements are an order of magnitude greater than that? The rate of growth is far outstripping consumer storage device capacity...

They're obviously not the most secure, as the Project Zero research shows. The whole press release has to be one of the most dismissive and snobbish PR pieces I've seen from a large corp.
Windows 10 sends telemetry by default? Microsoft is literally Satan incarnate! BURN THEM AT THE STAKE!!!
Firefox installs crapware addons without user permissions and signs them up to participate in "studies"? Shhhhh...it probably only an innocent bug, nothing to see here, move along now.
Billions of people hold staunch religious beliefs, yet this doesn't mean they're stupid or mentally handicapped.
Garbage blogpost.
I dislike the bitcoin and cryptocurrency industry & communities in general, but this is just ridiculous.
You still have to write your SQL statements, and in your example you'd still be able to refer to your array by name:
select SomethingID where AnotherThing in @yourNamedArrayParameter
If you're not using Dapper just use a user-defined table type to hold your data and join on it instead of using WHERE IN.
Add user-defined table types used as parameters and you've got a good way to pass batches of data too.
This is can be automatically handled if your ORM supports it; even a micro-ORM like Dapper does.
Otherwise my go-to solution for this if it isn't supported is to pass the collection as a user-defined table type, filled with the values. you can either use WHERE IN or join on this table variable.
EDIT: my perspective on this if from working with SQL Server and .NET. I don't know enough about Python or PHP development to comment on those.
Uhm what?
At least in .NET+SQL Server land you can give your SQL queries named parameters. If there's a mismatch you'll get an exception saying so...
Perhaps this is a problem in some other stack (PHP?)

Interesting this isn't the case with English.
They get zero points for this.
It pretty much reads as "Retard"DB in Portuguese, Spanish, and IIRC German.
