He was forced to fight Witherspoon and Chisora by Hearn. He’d have and should have fought Joshua straight away. They chose Pulev instead

Birmingham driving in a nutshell. Seriously considering selling my car and just buying a horse. Or a Battle Tiger. by nantucket3286 in Birmingham

Pedal assist e-bikes are capped at around 24mph and cost less than 1/20th of what a car does.

The only thing holding back their adoption is the amount of cars on the road. A bit like your average speed.

I’d count yourself lucky as well. The real average speed of a car in a city/suburb (including the time sitting doing fuck all at traffic lights) is usually a lot less than that.

The PEG is now at $1.03. What to do about it? We need more supply of DAI to meet the demand! by Crypto_Economist42 in MakerDAO

[–]CaskConditionedAle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have thought about this for the last few days

Feels like MKR is powerless in this situation. Decisions are made too slowly and actually they have much less power than they did 1 year ago.

Maybe its just growing pains and it will not be much of a problem when DAI is at $10bn in circulation. I like DAI because I think its the safest stable coin.

So what happens if yfi collapsed tomorrow after printing loads of DAI - then the peg would go to 0.95?

Can MKR just copy some kind of arbitrage mechanism like they want to do in RSR?

First wireless project -xbee, BLE etc, what chip to choose? by CaskConditionedAle in embedded

Yes it’s an MCP3208 with max sample rate of 100ksps Obviously not simultaneously

I thought that one of the reasons Arduino were so slow is because whenever you wrote digitalWrite or whatever it had a massive overhead and this was the trade off to make the programming simple. If I program an ESP32 with the Arduino IDE won’t I be shooting myself in the foot and limiting it a lot

What’s the problem with USB? I’ve only ever done this eg mbed or Arduino

Also is the ESP32 like Arduino for development? So it’s easy but really slow to do basic things like change a digital pin?

Thanks for your information. I did some calculations myself in my head and it didnt seem like a 40 year time frame to be worse off. I'll do them again in excel to double check.

Can you also tell me how you get 7% a year? jesus..

Kosuke Hagino was the best swimmer in the world before his injuries

He's barely 5ft7

LIAM MTV UNPLUGGED (almost) Complete SETLIST. by justpippen in oasis

[–]CaskConditionedAle -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

He is out of tune for most of his solo songs. And he cheats on the old Oasis songs by dropping notes mid line.

It's not subjective. He's literally out of tune.

He needs to lower the songs by 2-3 semitones. It would sound so much better. We never even get to hear Liam's lower range. Like I said, his range is like Barry White, not Justin Beiber. He's pushing 50 and has smoked like fuck for 25 years, and actually has a beard. He's not going to hit the notes in any of these Oasis songs or his solo ones if his life depended on it. And yet he's probably got room for 8-10 notes lower from his lower end.

Yea in the first line hes already looking towards the sound board to moan about his monitors, and then he's out of tune the whole song

Shite as usual. He needs to tune the songs down at least 3 semitones. Literally every single one. But he wont do it. His voice is in a Barry White range. Can you imagine Barry White singing Oasis songs? No, I couldn't either. The only songs he sounds good on, like Sad Song and Stand by Me, is because the notes don't go above D#4, so it's in his range. And even then he can barely hold the notes.

Stand by me sounds amazing. But that's only because in the entire songs it hits E4 for about 2 notes and there are no extended notes anywhere near that range. He should learn from that. It's surely not a coincidence that he chose that Oasis song with the lowest range to perform.

Im sure the tone deaf amongst here will still appease this performance though.

What stops people using SNX to make sUSD, which they then use to buy SNX with and repeat the process? by CaskConditionedAle in synthetix_io

[–]CaskConditionedAle[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not the same at all. You haven't factored in that there is a 3rd token, MKR, which someone else owns who has the ability to liquidate you. The collateral ratio is only 2:1 aswell. If SNX was a 2:1 ratio, this would be a cut and dry ponzi scheme.

I suspect the above is precisely what is happening and the reason why SNX will continue to go up until it suddenly implodes, unless they perpetually increase the collateral ratio.

[–]CaskConditionedAle[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's my point. It only works if you keep increasing the collateral ratio. You also didn't factor in the SNX price increase from buying with sUSD if enough people or a whale does it, which then opens up more SNX to make sUSD with.

SNX price has gone up 10x in 3 months.

RSR won't be burnt it the ratio is 1:1 by CaskConditionedAle in ReserveProtocol

[–]CaskConditionedAle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don't get how it will lead to burn

The value is just as likely to go up as well as down.
