Well actually, no. The Tether T&C says that they can basically do whatever they want with your wallet, all disputes have to be resolved via arbitration, and you waive your right to a jury trial.
Sure, you _can_ still sue them anyway and maybe get around the T&C, but you can sue the government to, the important question is if you can actually win.
But the company can just turn around and say, soz we don’t have your deposit. We invested it in Labubu dolls and they crashed in values. Also we lost them. Next time, DYOR.
If a bank collapses, you get your money back from the Fed, no questions asked.
You get up to the amounts insured by the FDIC, plus whatever is recoverable from the residual assets of the bank and anything else the FDIC decides to award.
You’re mistaking your preferences for the majority’s preferences. Huge chunk of humanity now chooses to experience in-person events recording it through their phones.
In the first case presumably the person is focused on their phone/the photo instead of their friends, and in the 2nd it's the opposite (then making the photo after they're no longer with their friends). It could be said the latter is better?
I was expecting you to actually say stuff you couldn't come back from, but all of those are recoverable in your 30s and 40s if you're a bit more flexible. It's never too late if you want those things, quite literally.
I'm much younger and I already have health issues that I can't come back from. I've received a lot of chemotherapy, and I have permanent damage from that. All I can do going forward is mitigate, but the risk is still there and won't ever go away. Of course it's not my fault. But the point is: yes, your health is something you can't control 100%. There are points of no return.
For most people, the common one is heart disease. Plaque buildup is irreversible. No amount of dieting, exercise, or pharmacology will reverse damage to your arteries. All you can do is prevent further damage, and yes, you will need drugs.
> yes, your health is something you can't control 100%.
Yeah, I guess this was more my point, you don't ultimately control that much about your health (is my perspective at least), you either win the genetic lottery or not, play the hand you're dealt, enjoy life while it last, in the way you can, some of us can only enjoy it so much compared to the rest of you.
It is actually possible to build a family and have children in other ways than biologically birth your own. I'm not sure why people pretend like this is less like "having children" than other options out there.
Poor health decisions are essentially permanent. That's precisely what I was trying to say. You can certainly recover from them, and do a lot better, but it's a hell of a lot easier and less painful just to prevent them in the first place, and repair is no substitute for the original article, as people with knee replacements well know.
Heh... i wish i'd go for anything other than boxing 20 years ago.
Anyways, yes, weightlifting + something active (tennis, football, etc) is the way to go.
But weightlifting first. It is the only hralth-related hobby that teaches honest body control: muscle, gaining/losing weight, dieting basics, monitoring key body parameters over time.
Mid 50s here - you can start at any point. Can confirm.
The past is in the past. It had good and bad outcomes for you. Those stand, and you're best served by making your peace with them. All that matters are the decisions you make now.
The fact that companies with access to SOTA non-public AI keep having these kinds of dumb bugs in something as simple as a chat app helps validate my disbelief of people claiming AI is ready to replace all software development.

Except leadership doesn't care about dumb bugs. Never has, never will (until it's too late). It cares about velocity and cost.
They'd totally replace all software development with worse AI software development in a heartbeat.

This is the very moment at which I started my own business. I prefer to work for myself with some quality standards than to be in a rush in front of a prompt (not that I do not use AI at all, I do, but not for generating code most of the time).
I knew the future, at that time was basically: pressure for speed, taking ownership of course, even if they rush you. Wild-guess, probably with an AI, to add on top more trch debt. Make everything unmaintainable in the long term.
So this was the perfect moment to show that things can be done in another way and quality can be kept higher than the competition bc what I am seeing lately is people throwing things in a rush. Better twopieces of well-crafted software than 10 pieces of unmantainable junk.
Precisely. I think everyone has been affected by the fearmongering and gaslighting to some dfgree. But step back and try and see whether software's getting better as a whole or going into reverse? OpenAI has basically unlimited internal compute and talent yet they screw this up amongst many other things. Shouldn't it be a 5 minute job for someone at AI to spin up a team of agents annd make sure this sort of thing never happens?
At a high level, most uses of AI I've seen seem to be people building other AI tools, orchestrators, managers, agent managers etc. But these are all means to ends. I mean I guess it's nice to play aroud with harnesses and command agents to do this and that, but where are the tangible outputs?
I just see so many people boasting of their token burn and the complexity of their agentic setup, yet they rarely show the actual outputs
It’s way easier to take a company to court than any government entity.
