You can redeem tether for a dollar anytime on their website [1].
Bitcoin has multiple markets on multiple exchanges. Some markets are between BTC and USD, some are between BTC and USDT, some are between BTC and BUSD (Binance's coin that is pegged to USD etc.). The reported price is a weighted average of these markets. It is never just USDT.
There are 7 exchanges on the first page of CoinMarketCap where you can buy Bitcoin with dollars directly [2]. Look for BTC/USD pair.
IMO Binance has billions of their own cash reserves (not user funds), based on their activity in the last year (acquision of coinmarketcap for 0.4B, commiting $1B to boost crypto projects and companies etc.. this must be a fraction of their overall worth and in that case, $6B should also not be a huge issue, especially since they can get a lot of goodwill and millions of FTX users).
Binance collects billions of dollars from fees every year and also get money from their external investments (e.g. Binance invested in FTX and sold their shares last year for $2B ($1.5B and $0.5B FTT)).
I noticed I fell out of the "flow" a lot less on M1, because actions that took a few seconds on other machines are now instantaneous.
Regarding the Intellij Idea and Docker, my old 16GB MBP 2015 Mojave was struggling hard and getting very hot with 100K LoC project. I would definitely use the Gateway on old machine aswell.
I am afraid 13" or 14" won't be big enough. I'm currently on 2015 15" MBP which is mostly fine and theoretically I am prepared to sacrificate some screen size for better mobility (smaller and lighter laptop).
It got so far that they might lose their job, because they believe in the hoax and refuse to get vaccinated.
Several Bitcoin mining pools tried to attack the network in the past, but the majority of their hashpower vanished and new hashpower appeared to protect the network.
The fact that Bitcoin was able to sustain security for 12 years makes it so valuable (especially because the incentive to take over is worth so much (market cap of $0.7T).
Ethereum's new PoS might be better in the future, however we are still many years away from properly verifing that. However I don't think it is possible to theoretically design a system that is secure and cheap to sustain at the same time. I believe security comes from expensivness (miners energy waste and slow transactions).
Can you elaborate? I am doing the opposite, because I am almost all the time in the office or gym. I force myself to get as much sun as possible for the Vitamin D and articles associated with it here on Hacker News[1].
I don't really have anything else to backup. What do you guys have on your systems to require complete system backup?
When I started investing for financial independence, I wanted to find the best investment fund for me, but I couldn't find a webpage that listed all of them and let me filter them. So I made one.

Have you bought any investment funds before? When I am searching for longterm investment fund, the most important information is the fund growth and expense. Everywhere else, this information is available only per fund, not in a sortable and searchable table. Fundhub tries to solve that.
