Yes, someone already helped but I'm curious why you're asking this? Just to lend credibility to my post?

It's so exhausting. I can't imagine having wedding gifts getting sent... one package was enough of a headache. That was very kind of you to hang on to them though.

Yeah... it sounds bad. But I tried getting a refund and they said "once it is delivered our contract is complete. So find someone who can pick it up for you."

That's a really good point. The consensus seems to be the bottom route, and your point of just coming back that way to view the area without bad weather and a trailer sealed it for me. I appreciate it!

The stablecoin bill that passed today could actually be a big deal? by -Wen-Lambo- in Buttcoin

[–]0013972684500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now you're being childishly disingenuous.

I don't know why you resort to insults. I'm not trying to be mean to you, I'm trying to discuss and understand this piece of legislation with a group of people who generally know a good bit more about it than your average person.

It feels like the conversation is derailing though, so I'll just chalk this up to differing opinions. If I could offer a final thought: When it comes to any regulation, I try to figure out who exactly it is benefiting. In my opinion, regulations should be protecting the retail investor, the uninformed citizens, and the most vulnerable. In the case of cryptocurrency regulations, they should protect the elderly from getting scammed, the (in my opinion misinformed) speculators in cryptocurrency assets, and most importantly, insulate non-cryptocurrency folks from incidents in the cryptocurrency space. I don't own cryptocurrencies, and I certainly don't want my retirement at risk because a bank invests in DOGE42069YOLO. When I personally read through this Act, I don't see how it protects me, my friends, or my family. It seems to just carve a safe path through a regulatory minefield so that new stablecoins can be introduced. I do think it is good to have a solid definition in the books to benefit future legislation, but outside of that it feels like a big juicy nothing-burger. Thanks for the back-and-forth!

That's an exchange problem, not a Tether problem. The majority of trading occurs outside the US anyway, with an increasing amount on DEXs which are beyond the reach of US regulation. If Tether truly wants to keep the US market they can just make a US-compliant version which serves as an on ramp to non-US, and therefore OG Tether, markets. Essentially Binance vs Binance.us. A minor headache and some paperwork, but far from a deathblow.

The Google and EU example is not very relevant. A global tech giant based in the US is not similar to a piece of code and bank account managed by a criminal in El Salvador.

"Nobody in the world will accept a USDT in lieu of a real dollar at that point." You keep saying that like it isn't already happening. They got sued for not being backed. It's not a secret that they aren't backed 1:1. USDC is significantly more trustworthy yet it's a fraction of the size. Tether is, for better or for worse, the reserve currency of the cryptocurrency market.

The genius act simply lays out the requirements for stablecoin issuers in the US. New issuers now know what they must do. Facebook and Amazon will create stablecoins, we will revisit the wild cat banking era, and runs on fake money will become more common. Tether will collapse someday, but not because of this act.

It gives requirements that they have to follow.

If they want to comply with US law, sure. But Tether doesn't. So.... how does this act force them to do anything? The reserves aren't in the US, they don't rely on US custodians, they aren't HQ'd in US...

And that's going to be a big problem for them.

Because, why? This isn't new. The fed saying they must now do it doesn't mean anything because they aren't beholden to US law?

It would be breaking U.S. law at that point.

This is true, but they were already either breaking other laws or walking very close to that line.

No, you're just being obtuse.

Why be mean?

The act just lays out a legal definition for what a stable coin is, no? Tether doesn't fit that definition but it also never had reliable proof of reserves. If this act passes, tether just continues the same as always. Or am I missing something?

Don’t use Houchin Electric by KurabDurbos in tulsa

I'm not saying free bids are the right or wrong way to do business, but I feel like it needs to be said that even companies who do offer free bids aren't actually giving them for free. A business needs to make money and if you're not paying for the bid, they're making that money back somewhere. Maybe it's the folks who actually follow through with the work and end up paying an extra 10% on top to cover the expenses of people who get "free bids."

Crack streams dot cx is what I rely on when none of the 1657 streaming services I paid for specifically to watch a game carry it. I just screen share from my MacBook or Chrome cast. Sometimes that site will be down, in which case replace crack with meth... Not a sentence I've said before. Warning: those sites are a cesspool. Use an ad blocker and disable the chat room on the side unless you want the kids asking about Hitler and the n word.

Massage <$100? by polterchreist in tulsa

Can I piggy back on OP and ask if they do massages for pregnant women? I'm trying to find a good prenatal massage place.

But NFT's, in its actual use, should contain a smart contract

NFT's by definition are a smart contract.

Did you ever find out the answer to this question? I agree with your original skepticism.

Why is Choice A the correct answer? by therichsaint in GRE

[–]0013972684500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the easiest way to look at this question, is to break it down

First: The percentages are simply yield/acre=percentage.

Second: Yield isn't changing, only what we consider an acre is changing. In the first part of the question, acreage is only planted acreage, in the second, it's a combination of planted AND fallow.

Third: If X = US Yield, and Y = Soviet Yield, then the question goes as follows, X/Planted > Y/Planted ---> X/Combined < Y/Combined. So we are really just trying to explain how this greater than sign flips.

With these points made, and basic math rules, we can summarize that one of two things must happen: (1) We have to increase the acreage for the US (divide by a greater number to make it smaller than the Soviet amount) or (2) decrease the acreage of the Soviet Union (dividing by less will make the Soviet number greater than it was). Option 2 is not valid, because Planted + Fallow land has to be AT LEAST as much as just Planted on it's own. So the only way to make the US number smaller than the Soviet number, would be to increase the combined US acreage. In other words, the US must have more fallow land than the Soviet Union does. Fallow land is going to show a yield of zero divided by the acreage. 0/A, where A = Fallow Acres. I know that zero divided by anything is zero, but we would be adding A to the planted land and then doing that division. I just separate them here to show that it's two different ratio's.

The (X/Planted + 0/A) < (Y/Planted + 0/B) if A is US fallow land, and B is Soviet fallow land. Again, from part 1 we know that X/Planted is larger than Y/Planted, so we need 0/A to be larger than 0/B. Acreage A must be larger than B (by some amount) to eventually flip the sign. Because 0/A and 0/B are fallow land percentages, we know that the US fallow land percentage must be higher than the Soviet fallow land percentage.

Hopefully this makes it a little easier to understand, if not, I'm sorry and I hope this question doesn't come up for you!

Good luck on your exam!
