So this just shows you an address to send crypto to and calculates the equivalent amount needed with a 15 minute window??

No conversion to fiat at a guaranteed rate?

Can't you game this with such rapid price fluctuations? Time buying a high priced item during a crash maybe?

Trust acts as capital in today's market. You can often get some sort of payback if you trust somebody else with your money.

> dump your money into the stocks and pray) are increasingly being exposed as obvious bullshit.

I'm not exactly sure how stocks have been exposed as bullshit given they've produced above average returns, especially for young people who have gotten in after 2008.

Compound interest and 5% yearly returns are boring. Technical analysis is too complicated for kids. "WHEN MOON??" is much more relatable.

Go to the crypto subreddits and look at all the people who laugh at stocks, saying market returns are basically worthless.

yes because their citizens are dumping money into them, and they're unsure where that money is going.

Sometimes the most logical conclusion is one that incorporates politics. I get HN likes to beat around the bush until after the fact, but in this instance I don't think pointing out a political motivation is all that uncalled for.

one of the twitter astronomers says this orbit might be unstable because of jupiter:

Does that mean it will inevitably be pulled into a high gravity object and crash? Or does that mean it will just travel wildly through space?

Amazing to see. Hard to imagine if not for Musk, we'd be stuck with ULA garbage and a realistic Mars tripped planned for 2050+

Tether is none of the US's business. Headquartered in Hong Kong.

Disgraceful!

Trump should seize control of the FBI and restore some order. We need to get a grasp on what's going on here.

The Awl and Hairpin were destined to die because the people who wrote/would write for them would never be satisfied being poor past their 20's.

It was a 'labor of love' from the glamorous set.

NY/NYC offering tax breaks to them almost makes me vomit. The ONLY point of trying to get them to open up in NYC is to get more tax money from them. It should be as much as possible. NYC doesn't need another 50k people here and however many barista jobs they will 'indirectly' create. We need better infrastructure and housing first. Last time I checked, we don't even have enough schools planned for all the people we have.

The whole point of USDT is to use on it exchanges that can't get USD on it. If you can hold USD, there's no need for tether, and there's no need to go the extra mile put your faith in a foreign corp that supposedly has to money to back it (buy risking your USD to buy them).

The Tether foundation itself isn't going to buy back the USDT because then it will just have to burn them because it no longer has the supposed dollar backing it.

it's based in Hong Kong. Hope they don't comply.

Yes, just throw every potential violent person in jail/prison.

We enter public sector with the expectations of the private one. Every public sector worker 'deserves' to be high middle class, which today is defined as 300k+ income easily, and we strive to have as many public sector workers as possible.

meh, seems to me like the richest are biased into seeing a 'better' world because that reflects well on their influence.

But is the world really better relative to the progress we've made? I don't think you can use the sort of facts mentioned in the blurb as a case for the increase in Humanism.

BULLISH

Why? If a central bank existed, it'd just bail out the Winklevoss twins.

Well this ignores the fact that it's down 50% for its ATH and some altcoins are down 5x+. So some people ARE looking at steep losses.

Please tell what people would do if the S&P got cut in half.

They're going in different directions though, so traffic is actually halved.

Why would people revolt? I had a surgery last year and in pre-op room as anesthesiologists questioned patients about what they were taking, I heard two guys explain why they were on fentanyl patches. They defended their use of them.

So many older men are on opioids for chronic pain. They're not going to revolt when their alternative is no solution to their problems.

When they become heavily addicted and it's too late, an American sentiment of personal responsibility kicks in.

I've come to the sad realization that Holywood/Silicon Valley liberal ideology is a significant enabler of inequality and wealth stratification.

They'd rather have people living out of cars and tents than being paid reasonable wages or having affordable housing.

Can't wait until their latest amendment passes[0] in California.

The problem is during rush hour.

Wasn't uncommon for me to be stuck for 45 minutes in the same spot.

>As someone who owns and believes in cryptocurrency, I'm actually glad this happened. I was getting sick of all the get rich quick people who've been driving the price lately, even for the coins that shouldn't be pumping.

you say this as if it won't happen again and again. 95%+ of crypto ownership is pure speculation. There are coins in the top 15 that don't even have existing networks yet.

I mean, even if the intention was to create a bioweapon to use in war, you would think the work would still fit those two parameters.

And how do you know the work will 'produce knowledge?'

A vaccine is impossible to guarantee.

Reminds me of when ZRX was added to Poloniex out of the blue. I very much doubt people with such knowledge wouldn't trade based on it. It's practically impossible to catch anybody short of getting the SEC involved. It's not like Coinbase is keeping track of everyone's wallets or has any ability to get info from other exchanges.

I also think it's funny that people are complaining about this. Isn't this part of the appeal of crypto trading? That the government doesn't 'level' the playing field?

Coinbase has been one of the more poorly constructed sites I've used in the past couple years. I don't just mean the inability to handle volume.

I saw it riddled with HTML errors, there were buttons that didn't do anything, I got (html) responses that were false, which I only knew was the case because I looked directly at the API response.

I remember I 'sold' some litecoin on Coinbase that never sold. Took me to a couple days just to know it wasn't going to mysteriously disappear.

I find the fact that they want to add new coins even though they haven't solved any of their current issues very alarming.

bi-partisan? Pretty sure the vast majority of Republican candidates came out against it last November. People knew what they were voting for.

I'm talking about the UAW. Yes they have too much power. It's only a matter of time before they run Tesla out of this country.

As for the writers, I would love to see their contracts. An open letter doesn't mean much to me without any facts to back it up.
