Why would anyone continue to hold Tether or buy Tether considering the risk involved? It just doesn't seem to make any sense to me whatsoever.

The whole point of stablecoins is that they are supposed to be the lowest risk crypto asset, offering the most security and stability, akin to a US Treasury or a money market mutual fund (although unfortunately stablecoins by themselves don't offer any yield). Tether is not the lowest risk.

Here is a long post outlining the risk of Tether, with plenty of associated reading in respected publications.

Tether openly admits, on their transparency page, that it's not backed 1:1 by cash equivalents, like it used to claim.

I made a thing and am looking for comments and feedback. This might have been done before, but if it has, I am not aware of it. I'm just going to copy paste the description from factorio prints cause I don't want to rewrite it here.

EDIT: Alright so, I assumed people would know this but obviously not everyone has a few thousand hours and have seen this separation trick before. This works over a one-tile gap between two logistic networks - th

I'm playing around with nuke reactors and using beacons as a dummy load. It's seeming like, in low power situations, beacons all of a sudden begin drawing like 5x as much power. It says on the numbers they are only consuming 825MW (which is what they consume on full power) for me, but when my generation doesn't keep up (I'm working on an 800MW reactor) my satisfaction drops deep in the red at 4.5GW of required power. Did I stumble across a bug? Is it supposed to be like this?

​

EDIT: here's some screenshots for a 480MW reactor but same problem:

Will OCZ Synapse drives (specifically this one) work as normal SSDs?

Wondering if anyone has it and opinions versus the standard one which is pretty universally accepted as being shit.

Seriously. I'm using a computer. What automates that shit.

Please?

Here is the new Sony Vaio T, any comments or suggestions about similar alternatives? I'm looking for a portable laptop with similar features; lightweight, ethernet port, ivy bridge u processor, 13 inch screen, fast hard drive, around $800.

Most of what I find seems to be at least $1000 and doesn't yet have an ivy bridge model. What's with that?

What are some good 15.6"-ish laptops, above 1366*768 resolution, that are lightweight? 3D graphics are not important. Needs to have at least 4GB memory or slots. Looking for relatively inexpensive, under $700 if possible.

Any recommendations for rails shooters? In the vein of Starfox.

I'm looking to see if it's feasible to water cool inside a small case, the Lian Li A05FNB (I would rip out all the drive bays to fit the radiator in). Will a 180mm radiator be sufficient to cool (both overclocked) a 2500k and a reference EVGA 680? Specifically, this Magicool 180x35mm.

What are the differences between the five versions of ASRock's Z77 boards? I can see that the Pro 3 and Pro 4 lack SLI and the Pro 3 lacks Crossfire support, but other than that, anything major? Any noticeable overclocking differences?

Going to do a super quiet but power build, looking for advice. First, water or air cooling? (Submersion is out of the picture.)

What size and number of fans/radiators, and what size/material case is optimal? I've often read bigger is better, is this necessarily the case? How about general airflow design and fan placement?

Are damping foams/vanes any good?

Suspension methods for fans/HDDs?

Anything else as far as noise reduction goes?

No particular component/brand suggestions please, I can figure that out on my own.

Personally I'm going for a single Radeon 7970 and an unlocked Ivy Bridge quad core, overclocking both. Don't suggest alternatives, that's what I'm working with and I need ac

Anybody know any?
