Comment Re:Just rewarding Apple for $500B investment in US (Score 1) 303

Tariffs that never happen, that were just blustered threats, cost taxpayers nothing.

Other than these Apple exceptions, tariffs are very much in place. Including the 125% China counter tariff.

Good luck finding buyers for all those soybeans come next harvest season.

Why do they crave to people without basic logic foundation operating on a premise "my interpretion of the ad is 'the' interpretation everyone should use"?

Yo *do* understand how ads are supposed to work, right? If a good chunk of the audience finds an advertisement off-putting, that's bad advertisement.

Comment It'll be spectacular when USDT's wheels fall off (Score 1) 78

The entire crypto "economy" is propped on Tether. It's smoke and mirrors all the way down; there's very little real money circulating in this system. It's only a matter of time until we get liquidity run for the ages.

Remember, Tether is a company reportedly managing ~$72bn in hard assets... which is also apparently unable to open a bank account anywhere.

This is what Boomers and Gen X can't get their heads around - stupidity is timeless. Look at the multi-level-marketing (literal pyramids) that those generations got sucked into. Look at all the cults from the 50s through the 90s. This is just the cycle of the old shitting on the young. At least this generation isn't giving their money over to spiritual con men that then talk them into radical behavior, even suicide.

This is peak, top-of-the-shelf, distilled cognitive dissonance.

Thank you

Not sure what you are talking about, since you are writing this on a forum hosted on protocols with the same routing problems.

Huh? What in the name of the fuck are you talking about? Routing in Lightning has little to do with the internet, in the sense that you need to know channel balances in advance to build a viable path. What is already a NP-hard problem is then compounded with a myriad of other issues - for example, the cost trial-and-error path selection, or how intermediate nodes are forced to freeze required funds in their channels while path are negotiated.

The best part though? Bitcoin is not even required for something like Lightning to exist. You could settle channels on, say, Paypal accounts, and the end result would be the exact same. The best solution people found to work around Bitcoin limitations was to build something which is fundamentally the opposite.
