They address this on the site:

>bUSD is not a stablecoin. It can never be redeemed for USD, and may trade at values other than $1 for extended periods of time.


Frankly, this is better than a stablecoin since the value is locked on the blockchain forever no matter what.


$0.10 per hour is already WAY more than a creator usually gets from your viewing. I'd happily pay that amount for good youtube-like content. Creators would love it because it's far more money than they get now. Consumers would like it because for a lot of people it's cheaper than a subscription, and they could forgo ads


I'd argue that tourists are the main untapped market in terms of transportation on the strip. Workers and residents might already be familiar with the public transport that exists, but most visitors would probably rather get a private car at the exact time they need it (going to the exact place they want to go) rather than figure out the bus schedule. That's proven by the fact that lots of people grab Ubers/similar to get around there.

Of all the places to try a gimmick, Vegas is the right place.


The article may be referring to page 14, actually.

The question on page 14 is "Do you think the American Dream--that if you work hard you'll get ahead--still holds true, never held true, or once held true but does not anymore?

And the results are (from 2023 to 2025):

Still holds true: 36, 34, 31 (downward trend)

Never held true: 18, 17, 23 (upward trend)

Once held true but not anymore: 45, 49, 46 (mixed trend)


It seems like the only reason Gemini knows this is because of the exact article we're discussing. Seeing as it's the first result when you search it, Gemini is just summarizing the article rather than synthesizing the info itself.


What leads you to believing that that's a reason, even "the only" reason?

If the top search hit is your only indication then you might want to brush up on your understanding of how LLMs work.


Gemini doesn't know anything. All of its outputs are synthesized via pattern matching of the prompt against its training data. No one knows exactly what the sources of any given LLM synthesis are. If one asks for a summary of a specific article then it will do that, but that wasn't the prompt.


The bullet hell minigame on the page is super distracting


I interpreted it as a visual cue to remind you where you left off when you return to the page after following a link. It's not particularly slick and doesn't seem to always work right. But I appreciated the novelty, effort, and creativity in trying to solve that problem.


The title should include "(2024)"

Suni and Butch have been on the ground since March, but the article mentions that "Stranded NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore have been living aboard the ISS for 170 days since their departure from Earth on June 5."


They'll probably agree on a settlement where they don't admit any wrongdoing and give him a decent payout, but require him to take down the site and sign an NDA or something. So they don't necessarily need to replace all of them after that

If all he wants is a refund, that should do it. But if he's more interested in warning the world, hopefully he sticks to his guns and makes them give a straight up refund


I'm feeling out of the loop. What actually happened?

Did you miss where they said "it's downright impossible to find and retain reliable employees"?
