Not in my eyes; I love crypto self custody

Kraken has been trading crypto coins since 2011. Why did it take the SEC so long to bring this suit?

Yes, the exchanges are 3rd parties that could lose, and often do lose, the money

The Not Just Bikes YT channel recently observed that building new walkable neighborhoods in the US and Canada is not legal.

The existing pre-war walkable neighborhoods are all we are going to get and they are expensive. We made walking to school a thing for rich kids.

I was a holder of UST in anchor protocol. I was aware the peg was shaky, but my yield farm output UST so I went with it.

I do think vision habits matter for near sightedness. The human eye, like all mammal eyes, seems adapted for far vision. To bring the focal point in, the ciliary muscle must contract to change the shape of the eye. When it relaxes, the focal point goes back out far away.

In the environment for which we are adapted, most time was spent focusing far away. In the modern world, a person may spend all day, every day, for years on end, focusing on things close up like books and screens. If the ciliary muscle is always contracted, it can get stuck; over time, even change the shape of the eyeball from constant pressure such that the cornea focuses too far in front of the retina, making the image blurry.

Perhaps I was too quick to get glasses when things first started looking blurry. If I had known, I would have tried to get the ciliary muscle to relax by focusing on things far away for at least a time every day. Instead, I went right to the minus lenses but kept my lifestyle of close up work all the time. This led to hyperopic defocus, meaning my ciliary muscle had to continue to contract to focus on near objects through the minus lens.

About 7 years ago I had the thought of improving my vision habits. I will spare HN the details, but my vision (optometrist confirmed) has improved from about -3.5 diopters to -2.25 diopters. I can now do things without glasses including working on the computer, cooking, and reading, for which I am grateful.

I just don't understand why cities in California won't let go of single unit zoning.

Single unit is the most expensive and least efficient zoning rule. Getting rid of it would bring housing costs down.

Ever visit a beautiful city like Paris, Copenhagen, Milan and wonder why we don't have that? It would be illegal to make the buildings they have under our zoning code and parking mandates!

I'd rather have 0.1% of my money stolen than do business with banks.

He said "Stablecoins are tokens that are backed by a fiat currency."

But it really tokens that are pegged to a fiat currency. You can't redeem tethers because there is no back account holding a dollar for every tether.

I didn't understand what the button was and pushed it right away lol

You're not wrong, but it can be a fantastic experience if you do have your own self-hosted node. I run the geth node on a linux server and can connect to it to send blockchain transactions or retrieve information from the chain. Example: my tax prep software took my wallet addresses and found all my uniswap trades by querying the local node.

Car culture apology bullshit. Why aren't there safe places for bikes and peds on those roads too? Why should cars have all the space to the point where it is practically suicidal to be outside a car?

You should check out the NJB you tube links. Stroads aren't fast for car travel. If you want a fast road, design for that. Stroad design gives you the worst of both worlds: slow and terrible for anything other than driving/parking.

Yes but designing roads that are hostile to anything other than a car, thus forcing people into cars, is very common in America.
