No that's not true. ADHD is a real thing that exists. You shominimize that.

Now are there other disorders/illnesses/allergies that affect concentration definition.

A lot of people have deviated septum or allergies that make nasal bresthing incredibly hard without effort. Of course this has a major effect on concentration.

Other examples surely exist. But please don't minimize real debilitating ADHD.

Jommi··on Binance Says Stablecoin Partner Been Told to Stop Minting BUSD

Jommi··on Binance Says Stablecoin Partner Been Told to Stop Minting BUSD
I beleive the latest reports now include specification that the issue is with the Binance pegged BUSD.

>Is the issue that Binance is acting as a secondary custodian (holding Ethereum BUSD, issuing BSC BUSD) for a Paxos-issued (holding USD, issuing Ethereum BUSD) asset, and that that activity is not regulated by the NYDFS?

yes

to make matters worse, AFAIK there is also revenue share beteween the two

Jommi··on Binance Says Stablecoin Partner Been Told to Stop Minting BUSD
Your misconception is the exact reason SEC took this action:

There are two different BUSDs, one by Paxos on the Ethereum netowrk and one is a BUSD based derivative on other chains such as BSC.

Jommi··on Ask HN: Laid off folks, are you getting hired?
Some part of the answer here is that we aren't a company that only works on our own products or research - we have a bunch of client work as well. But yes, "low-level" language could be used here as well.
Jommi··on Ask HN: Laid off folks, are you getting hired?
I am quite positive what you are describing would still be a fit for us. Feel free to send me a message.

Jommi··on Ask HN: Laid off folks, are you getting hired?
We're hiring at our company. We've had a lot of people come through from the recent waves of layoffs, and usually so far there has been a mix of too high expectations, remote work mismatches as well as just lots of people not making the bar (we are a small company).

Still on the lookout for senior rust engineers who want to work at a company that's remote-first with a minimal-meetings culture.

You can message me on telegram @jommi for info
