Let me add:

Only BUSD on Ethereum (ERC-20) is issued by Paxos. The BUSD on the BNB Chain (BEP-20) is not affiliated with Paxos and not regulated by NYDFS. Quoting Paxos:

"BUSD is issued by Paxos on the Ethereum blockchain and regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services. Separately, Binance wraps BUSD and issues separate tokens (known as Binance-Peg BUSD) on several blockchains, including BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, and Avalanche. These tokens are unaffiliated with Paxos and not regulated by the NYDFS."


Yes, but I believe that this "wrapping" should be visible on chain. In the sense that there should be a 1:1 mapping between "real" BUSD locked on Ethereum and the number of pegged BUSD on other chains, and that the accounting can be verified in real time. But I haven't verified.


> But I haven't verified.

Offhand, I can't think of a fast and easy way to verify this reliably.


I visited Binance's main page on BUSD [1] and it suggests you go look at their proof-of-reserves page [2], which lists the exact number of each token on Ethereum (5,334,500,000), BNB (5,315,999,056), Avalanche (11,500,000) and Polygon (6,000,000), each with links to block explorers. Note that if everything adds up, this total leaves 1,000,944 tokens on Ethereum, but at least that's positive.

Edit: I spent some time thinking the Ethereum number was the total number of BUSD, but apparently it is Binance's holdings which can be found in a wallet nicknamed "Binance: Binance-Peg Tokens" on Etherscan [3]. Since this number is greater than the total number of pegged tokens, I guess everything adds up. (Of course, since the "cross-chain peg" here is implemented in a centralized way by Binance, it could de-peg at any point they want it to.)

This sort of submarine article for Reviver Auto has come up often in the past couple of months, but does anyone see a market for a $700 license plate with a yearly subscription model, which also requires you to carry a backup non-digital license plate? What's the benefit to the driver?

Also the title, Ordinary License Plate's Days May be Numbered seems inconsistent with No more than half a percent of the registered vehicles in the state, about 170,000, will be allowed to use a digital rear plate ... and the driver must carry a regular rear plate in the vehicle in case the digital version malfunctions


> does anyone see a market for a $700 license plate with a yearly subscription model, which also requires you to carry a backup non-digital license plate?

No, but I could see one subsidized or mandated by governments (e.g. if it makes tracking vehicles much easier due to GPS / RFID / Cell Antenna)


Particularly when electric vehicles are more widely adopted, and gas tax revenue falls. Road use can be directly taxed, with time of day usage too, which should allow far more efficient road usage.


It's like a Juicero where the juicer squeezes you

As for toll tracking, there are already RFID tags that do that, no need for a new digital license plate

Also OCR is getting better


The dirty secret is there is also no need for RFID tags since they also use license plate readers.


The HAVING clause is evaluated before the SELECT so you have to specify the full clause `having sum(weight) > 12` and not just the alias. Most SQL engines are probably smart enough to not actually recalculate everything.


Yes, SQL engines tend to be much smarter than the SQL languages as such.


The backend for Sentry is a great example of a well-architected Django project: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry


There is a way to interact with the network latyer even when using WKWebView. Since iOS9 there are the Network Extension APIs which allow you to access (and modify/filter) raw packet data.

For example: https://developer.apple.com/reference/networkextension/neapp...


Yeah we know these things exist. I just don't think using a VPN or a global Network Extension or a global HTTP interception is a good solution. It would be a workaround.

We need a real solution. We need better WKWebView APIs. The requests are known. The bugs have been open since iOS 8. Two years.

1. I'm not in MobileMail.app, get a notification that an email arrives, but when I enter the app, nothing is there. When I manually hit the refresh mail button, the new message downloads and appears.

Your iPhone is connected to a push server; the server sends your phone a few bytes that indicate a new message is available to be downloaded, but it does not begin downloading the message itself until you enter MobileMail.app. (Messages.app is different since your carrier pushes messages in their entirety).


Indeed, it's not really MapReduce (as in Hadoop or Google's MapReduce), but Yahoo Labs did call it "Real-Time MapReduce."

I work at a massive Japanese company, and napping during lunch is an old trick of the trade. Between a quarter and a third of my coworkers power nap daily during lunch. We even turn off the lights for an hour, but that's meant primarily for energy conservation.
