I was perusing hot wallets recently and USDT is still pretty well funding on a few wallets (BSC, SOL, TRON) if I remember. USDC is mostly empty or near empty.
Didn't check other coins but if you can I'd cancel the withdrawal, swap to USDT, swap back to USD somewhere else. Costs some fees but much better than potential total loss.
And send small some test transfers first to see which paths work.
reading your original post, if available to withdraw only shows 0.1, are you possibly lending out or taking a margin position? I experienced that the 'available to withdraw' field indicated what I should be able to withdraw in theory, not what ftx could actually handle
I put the power button at the top so that I don't accidentally take a screenshot when I want to change the volume. Somebody please give me a design job at Apple.
I still don't understand why Apple moved the power button to the side opposite the volume buttons.
If this were Google where PMs ran feature development willy-nilly, then I bet this would've been true. Luckily, Apple's design team still has enough pull; so the MBAs haven't taken over everything.
It’s really funny you think the MBAs have less sway at Apple than Google. Apple is a penny-pinching company literally run by a supply chain exec with a Duke MBA. Google is a freewheeling engineer-led culture with zero interest in cost control.
The design team at Apple is still super influential. I should’ve probably clarified in my previous post: I work at Apple and over the years made good friends with writers on the team. We worked very closely in some Siri teams I was on.
Anyways, we still catch up once in a while and from what I gather the design team is truly organized to value the art and outcomes far far more than chasing promotions and titles. As an engineer, I can assure you I feel a very different vibe in the eng org; chasing after promotions is still a part the career “mindset”. Even amongst all my eng friends here. In all fairness though, that’s how all big tech eng teams in the Bay Area or Seattle are organized. Engineers are incentivized to get promoted to dissuade “rest and vest”.
Anyways, my larger point is: yes, design team at apple is def the most powerful and has final say on features. Of course, the MBAs run everything else from financial analysis that determine designers’ raises to operations in the supply chain. Someone’s gotta turn the magic into reality, after all ;)
Can it be both? The engineers create a new chat app every year, then the MBAs take it over next year and "optimize" it into the ground and all the engineers flee, but that's ok because the cycle will repeat shortly.
But you only need to "power" it once in like a month. You "turn it on" by tapping the screen. You "turn it off" by putting it aside or in your pocket. Power button on the side is a weird choice.
Yeah you might be right. There are “weirdos” like me who power it on and off every day though :) Who knows what their rationale truly was, just seems like a case where the bad physical UX of a huge screen on a phone was compensated for by placing a button in a non-standard location. Oh and the power button is also used to quickly lock the screen, so that’s something probably used more often than turning the device on/off.
did you feel proud when the eu passed the cookie law? are you proud every time you have to wait for and click through a cookie modal? (never mind the development costs)
you might end up with an ad- and app-store- riddled europhone and if you decide that you want to buy a us or international spec iphone you won’t be permitted to do so.
You do understand that those popups indicate either malicious compliance, incompetence or unnecessary tracking? Do you think keeping any of those three hidden is in any way better?
the cookie law should have ended up with a browser setting. but eu bureaucrats apparently don’t know the first thing about web standards (and why would they) so we get every single website in the world having to code a custom dialog, and billions of users having to click through them forever. this legislation is the eu cookie law writ large: well meaning, ill conceived, government overreach by bureaucrats who don’t represent or understand the companies being affected. it’s a sad state of affairs when the most significant contribution of europe to technology is not technology, but bad legislation with massive global implications.
No, the EU knew that something like a DNT header could never work. And let's not forget: No one needs a cookie popup. If you don't track more than technically necessary, there's no need to get consent or inform the user. It's just that everyone likes to collect as much data as they can that these popups are necessary.
in America, as a website, you're still perfectly allowed to use marketing cookies without permission, or just not provide the option of saying no. taking away that privilege is "government overreach"?
gdpr is also much bigger than just cookies. it's also a wide-ranging law forcing companies to more careful with your data and delete it if you ask
the EU politicians rightly do not represent the companies affected
if apple were worth more than all of the other personal computer makers combined (maybe it is idk) would that also be a sign of a bubble? is that all it takes or does growth rate matter?
Interesting. In martial arts world there were lots of styles that claimed to be "the best" until they did UFC and suddenly people discovered that if you don't know brazilian jiu jitsu you will most likely lose to someone who knows it.
This analogy doesn't work because programming in "industry" has been like the MMA since day 1 in the sense that you have always had to "test your skills" and make something that people wanted and compete with other products. In the martial arts world a bunch of different martial arts just completely went without full-contact sparring/competition and instead built up a bunch of different rules and scenarios around how they were "too deadly to be done in practice". This is the bullshit that MMA exposed, and its interesting to note that the two practices in the comment you're responding to, judo and karate, have had a long history of being practiced "for real" in the gym and in competition and thus have spawned a long line of highly successful MMA competitors.
The analogy also doesn't work because BJJ isn't some silver bullet. What people discovered is that the first M in MMA is actually the important part and if all you know is BJJ you're going to get starched by a boxer with a sprawl, or more likely a wrestler with a modicum of submission knowledge, who will never let you get to the floor in the first place, and instead just grind you out.
So just like the question "what is the best martial art" currently has no answer outside of "you need a mix of striking and grappling not just one thing", there is no answer to "What is the best programming style" outside of "think about the problem you have at hand and crib on examples and knowledge from other people who have solved a similar problem". This "unfortunately" points to boring industry standard tools, like Java, C/C++, Javascript, RDBMSs, IDEs, Linux etc, etc. Probably some newer stuff like Rust and React as well. And note that answer isn't one specific technology, like MMA its a bag of different tools you combine.
Same. I wouldn't have expected this amount of vitriol on a site for science and technology enthusiasts and hackers -- people who often are the builders in society -- about a guy who ... successfully builds electric cars and spaceships.
It's a shame because the thoughtful, moderate commenters just leave and are less likely to come back.
And btw SpaceX laid off around the same pct of workers a while back and they're doing fine now. Same with a lot of companies, some of which I was working for at the time, and I don't think their leadership was evil.
i’m done with dealerships. i wish ford and gm had created clean-sheet, direct-to-consumer sub brands for their electric products. and didn’t gm do something pretty radical when they rolled out saturn in the 80s (separate dealers with non commissioned staff)? they could have at least done that. instead we get markup and sleaze.
Agree with you 101% on the dealer buying experience. Even just doing some shopping/research these days has left a sour taste in my mouth for buying another vehicle that way.
That being said, Ford has announced they're splitting their company into two: One for ICE vehicles, one for all electric. They're not saying much about who'll be handling the selling/distribution of the electric vehicles in the future. And dealer associations are rattling their legal sabers looking for answers.
Also, VW and their announced release of an all new Scout, under it's own brand, has also made little comment if current VW dealerships will carry it or what...
So there seems to be a move by Ford and VW to try (with new brands) the direct sales route with delivery/service centers similar to Tesla. However, that may be a long time coming with all the potential legal battles, etc.
I, however, also wonder if this move by VW/Ford is just to get the dealer associations to spend more lobby money and get direct-to-consumer car sales illegal in many more states, which seems the likely move by Dealers. This, then, would be a feign by the Manufacturers to hurt on particularly strong brand in the EV space.
Yeah, that must be a huge boon to tesla orders. Go on a website, click some buttons, wait, and your car is delivered. People underestimate a low-bs process.
I hate having to wheel and deal. I usually go through craigslist or some other marketplace since I buy used and it's so much better than having to worry about coatings, etchings, addons, and warranties.
EVs won't have oil changes, regular brake work, oil leaks, etc. There will be occasional air-conditioner repairs or window problems, but the bread-and-butter service revenue from ICE vehicles will be gone.
Dealerships might not be profitable enough to stay.
The flip side is that you have a choice of business to work with for the rest of the life of the vehicle. There are huge problems with the availability and quality of service for Tesla right now.
If a dealer does bad work or tries to scam you, you can find another one. If Tesla denies your warranty claim you're out to dry.
