Open - the status of the case is "open", meaning it is under active investigation.

Non-public - you already know this :)

Dude...

Please, explain what investing is.

Just wanted to say that I've passed hundreds of thousands of dollars through Coinbase and have always received stellar support. Not everyone hates them :)

That's interesting, my Cryptopia DOGE trading pairs (and LTC) beg to differ. Will there be a crisis of confidence if Doge crashes to 0 on Cryptopia? Of course not.

USDT is one of many trading pairs offered by crypto exchanges. It matters no more or less than NZDT, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other common trading pair in the crypto world.

Keeping pace with the market. Tether burning coins is an expected and healthy part of their supply management strategy. Think about how you'd keep a finite-supply coin pegged to a value - you'd print and burn tokens as needed to stabilize the value of the coin.

Clearly there may be a massive problem for Tether. Outside of Tether - I'm not seeing the ramifications, other than exchanges are going to have to use different stable coins. I remember when LTC and FTC used to be legit trading pairs on exchange websites. Whether or not Tether is legit seems pretty uninteresting to me - my trading bots regularly go through thousands of USDT, and I've never once thought to myself "Oh, I can redeem this for 1USD." It's just a utility token, and if it dies, something will fill the void after a brief panic.

To me, this just seems very overblown.

I mean... are people worried about Dogecoin blowing up? Or any other coin? There is basically no problem here. If you don't believe in USDT... don't buy it.

It's like saying government-issued currencies are going to "blow up" because Zimbabwe keeps printing fat stacks. Don't hold Zimbabwe dollars - problem solved!

Traders want something like USDT for the utility it provides. I don't think most traders care about the backing of USDT or it's potential redeemability for USD. I think most people enjoy the utility of a token that is always ~1USD. There are other tokens that promise to bring the same utility to crypto (DAI, etc). If USDT disappears (as NZDT just did, RIP Cryptopia's bank accounts), another stable coin will fill the void.

So even if Tether explodes, and it's actually been running with 0 financial backing this whole time - uh, well, tell me how that's different from any other cryptocurrency that has exploded and imploded in the last few years? It would seem to me that the healthiest thing for crypto right now is to figure out Tether's financial health (so people can decide if they want to safely use it) - but I don't think the marketplace will feel any "shockwaves" from a possible collapse.

Yeah, universality is the whole point of currency. That's definitely why every holiday season, millions of people buy gift cards to people's favorite stores. Please.

USDT?

Tulip references are the tulip mania of the 21st century.

Presumably, automobiles allow people who may live farther away from a store to get perishable (frozen or refrigerated) items home in time.

Roles are always open - you should be seeking them out :)

Very cool tool. Thanks for posting this!

Please do not clutter up this board with drivel.

Me too - I stopped participating after they announced a security leak a few weeks ago.

It's not a "pointless value judgement" to observe that someone looks filthy, and to extend that observation to "I don't want them in my clean house".

Have you ever hung out with street kids? I have, for years. Do you know Manitou Springs in Colorado? I hosted lots of down-on-their-luck street kids at my apartment for a while until I realized the majority of them absolutely suck as roommates/tenants/whatever you want to call them. Many of them will steal from you because they have nothing else. Many of them have markedly different cultural values - and not in a way that I find endearing or enlightening.

I'm sure you'll draw some parallels to racism here, because that seems to be the argument you want to occur. This isn't about a genetic condition like skin color. This is about willingly descending to the lower rungs of society. If a street kid wants to drop out of society, tattoo their face, and wear tattered army rags, that's fine. Accept the consequences of your facial tattoos though - that's part of being an adult :)

The gun, or the street kids?

I don't want people in my home who are proud of their guns and brandish them in profile pictures on a travel site.

I don't want people in my home who look filthy. I know street kids well enough to never let one in my home.

Disagree. My girlfriend and I have have turned down a few potential AirBnB people because they looked like street kids in their profile pictures. One had a gun (?????) prominently displayed in his profile pic. No thanks.

As long as I'm letting people into my home, I'd like to get a quick look at them first.

Something about a human imagining a "better" strategy for a dolphin is very humorous to me.

Have you tried? I got one fairly easily at the age of 22. I was actually armed to the teeth with debates and arguments for my doctor, but when I asked him to perform it, he shrugged and said "Okay, I can fit you in two weeks from now"

:)

Well, since you're being pedantic... this _is_ the only day the whole world celebrates Pi Day, because it only occurs in the US date format. So... their statement is correct.

This is a good article, and this is going to be really nitpicky... but please, use the word 'failures', not 'fails'. For my sake :)

to create a web-page full of accessibility fails.

At the moment it contains a total of 143 fails grouped into 19 categories.

No, he's not. One is about popularity and the possibility of overcoverage. The other is an unlucky trend of athletes getting hurt.

I just purchased a home next to an AirBnB house - it's a mixed bag - well, it's pretty much all downsides.

More Uber/Lyft/taxi traffic at random hours of night - check

Strange people coming and going, pickups at all hours - check

Trash cans are never brought back from the street - check

Yard care - non existent Socialization - zero

There's 0 contribution to the neighborhood from an AirBnB house - I say this as a person who has no problem having a roommate in my own home. There's pretty much zero incentive for an AirBnB'er to give a shit about the neighborhood (I don't blame them).

This isn't an outlier. A lot of my friends live in houses that are pretty much crash pads (Arlington/DC area), and there's the same problem - when people only live somewhere for a month or two, they don't participate in the community.

Well... Lauren Shin says it's being used that way.

Uh... that's a very dismissive comment for quite the breakthrough! Congrats to the human players and the AI team for a great showmatch.

Uh... maybe it works for you, but to me, placing a vibrating notification on my wrist is the opposite of a solution.

The linked article actually has very little in the way of substance.
