I think it does sounds really bad. After one year, 26 years lifespan. We get that by doing:

30 - (30.1 - 1) = 26.

Doing that again for the next year: 26 - (26.1 - 1) = 22.4.

So you now have 22.4 years of life vs an expected 28.

etc...

I interpreted this along the lines of it not being a pigment, rather it's black because something about it's physical structure at a small scale causes light to not reflect back. Adding a thin coating of gold would not necessarily change that structure so it would continue not reflecting light.

^ pure conjecture

From Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin who filed the lawsuit:

Once installed, Temu can recompile itself and change properties, including overriding the data privacy settings users believe they have in place.

Pretty scary/shocking if this is true

Also from the lawsuit:

App store security scans don't flag Temu's risks, the complaint alleged, because Temu can "change its own code once it has been downloaded to a user’s phone"—which means it's essentially able to transform into malware once it is past the security checkpoint.

I really want to know if the above is actually possible? I would assume this would break code signing

What about more clickbait?

Because of the many twists, the universe could contain copies of itself that might look different from the original, making them less easy to spot in maps of the cosmic microwave background.

This was my intended meaning, thank you!

I wanted to point out that juries can make arbitrary decisions, nullification being a kind of example of this.

Juries are free to give arbitrary decisions, that is unrelated to precedent, which has more to do with how a judge interpreted a law.

Lookup "jury nullification" if you're curious to learn more about juries giving arbitrary decisions.

The title has been editorialized in a way that is incorrect. The article states:

- Social media services must register; however, users do not.

- Online services that offer podcasts must register; however, individuals who use social media to share podcasts do not.

That to me clearly indicates that "podcasters" do not need to register.

A minor clarification, it compares MDs to ACs. It says ACs are associate clinicians who have an amount training somewhere between a nurse and a doctor.

At least the way it's used in the US (I know hacker news is not only the US) a medical assistant is someone who has less training than a nurse and is often doing administrative work.

That's a really interesting comparison, I'd never heard of it. Crypto is definitely wild!

The main point I was trying to make was that people trying to make a buck off of the USDC depeg didn't need to wait until Monday morning. So I didn't think Monday morning would be particularly significant in that particular regard.

You can sell USDC for dollars at other exchanges, no need to go through BTC/ETC/whatever. For example Gemini has a USD/USDC pair. It won't be pegged to a dollar, like if you redeem through circle but getting $.99+ on the dollar is probably good enough for a lot of people.
