The panic is always due to duration mismatch. A startup won't survive if cash is locked up for 90 days and you can't make payroll. unless a large benevolent buyer steps in, (remember Bear Sterns and JPM?), SiVB is toast.

In fact both SI and SiVB are in trouble because they have long duration assets and short duration liabilities.
Maybe $70B in credit but there is no way anyone is going to redeem that much in real currency.

How is the $70B number even helpful. Is it supposed to trigger notions of "too big to fail".

I disagree. I like the way YouTube and some apps use motion and quick transitions to indicate which UI components have moved where. The example transitions are way too slow, but I imagine that's intentional to show how the animation paths work.

This should only apply to major components of the UI (such as a video player, or a document, maybe a toolbar that slides to the side of the page), or course. When done well, this makes navigation much more intuitive inside applications.

Every mobile operating system and most desktop operating systems already employ these transitions in their normal use. Most people will only perceive them when they're in the way, but when they're part of a well-deigned UI flow, you probably won't even notice they're there.

I've run my phone with animations disabled for a while, but apps feel much clunkier and broken when all animations disappear.

Even when a page loads quickly (<50ms) and suddenly all the controls and views are somewhere completely different, I need to scan the page again to see where everything went. If I can follow the controls with my eyes, that makes navigation much easier.

If this does get implemented, I expect you will be able to turn these transitions off just like you already can in (mobile) operating systems and some browsers. In fact, if you've already set up your OS to reduce movement, I expect you'll never even be able to see the features being introduced.
Are you using some specific distro based on alpine, or just alpine?
As said by @laserbeam there is no implementation of concurrency built-in Zig language, just primitives.

There is one event loop in the stdlib, but it has some limitations and there is some discussion to change it or remove it https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/8224

Some Zig libraries implementing an event loop:

- libxev by Mitchell Hashimoto
https://github.com/mitchellh/libxev

- one from the Tigerbeetle DB
https://github.com/tigerbeetledb/tigerbeetle/tree/main/src/i...

They both use kernel concurrency features (io_uring/epool on Linux, kqueue on MacOS).
They are quite low level and do not implement a lightweight threading model comparable to Go concurrency.

The US average loan to deposit ratio sits around .8. SVB is at around .45.

Loan to deposit ratio is orthogonal to reserve ratios, which is orthogonal to capital requirements.

It’s not that banks are loaning out more than their deposits that creates new money, it’s that they are loaning out money _at all_ that does.
This would be great if it was on Ethereum. I'm VERY surprised to see that they chose Cardano as the ecosystem (which is a drop in the ocean when compared the larger NFT community). It's a great project idea but ecosystem won't allow it to grow. I'd bridge to a popular chain. Cardano is considered a bit of a joke when it comes to NFTs.

These specialty banks like SVB are servicing accredited entities, who should have enough sophistication to know what risks they are taking putting enormous amounts of deposits into a single bank.
These printers are sold below cost so that money can be made from the ink. Naturally, this needs some form of DRM. Capitalism offers you plenty of alternatives for printing at the best cost, these printers are actually good deals for people who rarely print.

Musical chairs for assets currently in SVB or at other banks?

If SVB, it is probably too late to stop it, that game has already started and once a bank run starts only a miracle (or a powerful external actor) can stop it. If other banks I do not see a risk of contagion. And should the contagion spread to major banks feds will certainly step in (to save our core banking system, blah blah). My 2c.
Yep. So I've been working for about fifteen years, had it from the start, but it just keep on getting worse. So now have migrated to a no keyboard solution, and am working on a no mouse solution.

My setup, software:

- talon (https://talonvoice.com/), basing my configuration on the standard repo (https://github.com/knausj85/knausj_talon/), with some minor modifications. This is how I navigate my whole computer, and runs the voice recognition and eye tracking. This is how I'm typing this right now. There are also a bunch of other little system changes that you need to make (eg, on macOS, disable double space to type a period), which is documented by the community with varying levels of success.

- cursorless (https://www.cursorless.org/), and then vscode. Before this I used Sublime Text for years and years, but cursorless is too good for coding. I know there are some projects on going to port it to different editors, but I haven't massively looked into it.

- vimium extension for web browsing (works in both chrome and firefox). This makes things like clicking links easier with your voice, without having too use an eye tracker all the time.

And then hardware:

- DPA 4488 microphone -> DAD6001 microdot-XLR converter -> Shure X2U USB XLR interface. ~£800. It's a very expensive microphone, but it's what the developer of talon uses (same brand anyway), and since I'm using this for work I want to remove every obstacle to having my voice recognised correctly and quickly

- Tobii Eye Tracker 5. ~£250. This is basically the only game in town. It works well enough but needs a lot of light. It also needs to be physically mounted to a monitor. In theory this means I don't need to use a mouse, but because I have a 34" ultrawide it doesn't work well on the edges, so I have a specific window size and location configured (say "layout mouse") which I could move apps into if I need to.

- At some point soon I want to replace the X2U with something higher quality and more permanent on my desk. Soon!
Is there a rule that sedans and wagons cannot drive four wheels?
Yeah, this is how it's similar to silvergate. The main issue silvergate had was a lack of diversification of their liabilities, I.e. their depositors were all crypto. So when crypto hit a liquidity crises, it cascaded to silvergate. The same thing could theoretically happen to SVB, although that would look very bad on tech, since tech shouldn't really be an industry unto itself. Ideally, tech is just technology, and its application is across any industry.
This analysis [1] from the same FT is also quite insightful:

> SVB is not a canary in the banking coal mine

Even though this paragraph didn't make me too confident, contrary to what the author wanted to convey:

> Second, few other banks have as much of their assets locked up in fixed-rate securities as SVB, rather than in floating-rate loans. Securities are 56 per cent of SVB’s assets. At Fifth Third, the figure is 25 per cent; at Bank of America, it is 28 per cent.

28 per cent at the scale of Bank of America is a lot of money, big quantity (of money, in this case) by itself in many cases "transforms" into a quality thingie.

Building a city optimized for bikes is a choice
I spent the pandemic working all kinds of hours, and now management wants people back in the office. It does feel like my effort is not valued, but an ex colleague once said something really interesting: if you are sacrificing yourself to compensate for your company's shortcomings, they will never get fixed.

So if something has to be deployed to production, it now has to be done during normal working hours. I'm not going to commute and still have to turn on the computer when I get home.
So, again something VC backed start-ups cannot be bothered with, after taxes and general compliance we have the pains of traditional banking. Something every fast food truck or small retail store manages on a daily basis.

And this refusal to follow existing rules and practices of how businesses are generally run, opens up an opportunity for all kinds of shady, borderline grifters. Sorry, I meant disruptive start-ups. But hey, it's not my money after all.
No but they should probably care about their own career and skills if they don't want to go hungry.

Absolutely. Imagine if all journalists had this level of depth in all of the topic they covered? I don't think that's possible though.
Yes that was the idea. :)
No transition takes five seconds intentionally. What you may be seeing is artificial delay, something introduced to a system to give users more confidence that the system is working correctly. Instant responses for operations perceived to be complex cast doubt on if the operation was done correctly.

Either way, you can disable transitions on your OS already if you dislike them. In fact, you should see this as an improvement to the current situation, as transitions bound to OS animation preferences instead of jQuery .animate() will suddenly disappear for you.

Give developers a standardised interface they can use and they'll use it; give users settings for those interfaces and you can make applications work like you wish with the click of a button.

Sorry, I didn't say it clearly.

I want to use the distro (Alpine) packaged Chromium, which links to musl. Not some random Chromium build I found on the Internet. Having to use a glibc Chromium is already too far for me.

Do you suggest that in order to support Widevine, a distro (Alpine) should also build Chromium, Firefox and co also with glibc instead of the default (musl), or provide two varaints?

Even when they have a Chromium with musl as libc working perfectly fine, except no proprietary DRM support?

I'm okay with running a proprietary binary, linked to glibc, by installing the glibc alongside.
I'm not okay with having to randomly change other packages already in my system (in this case, my browser) to glibc variant.

Edit: Oh, and anything Chromium depends on have to had a glibc variant.

Yes, but the duration mismatch shouldn't be an issue here.

I would happily loan money to a startup to make payroll, if that loan was 80% of the value of deposits they had in the collapsing SiVB, as long as the loan was secured with those deposits - that way I can be pretty certain I'm getting repaid, even if the startup goes bankrupt in the meantime.
It's CNBC, they are peddling tokens usually. Even this news is framed as if 70B$ was really lost, while obviously there was never such amount of liquidity in the token industry and the number was manufactured by meaningless calculation of so called "market cap", to impress gullible people.
True. If it had short travel large keys (like on current MacBook Airs) with thin keys it would be better. I wouldn't mind having mechanical instead of magnetic suspension on the sides of keys and non-transparent (i.e. metal) gaps between keys (as it is now, again, with MacBook Air) as having a pretty big picture of video shown in the background is completely unnecessary, being a bother actually, distracting and annoying. Basically transparent material thin keys looking through many small windows into the single background display that may show whatever letters or small pictures (in high resolution) we want for each key.
Maybe become a nurse then? (Shitty hours though.)

But I worked on the Xero assets api, and I’m sad to say there was only one user. Maybe things have changed since I left, but I highly doubt it deserves a 4/5 ranking for popularity. I suspect 1 might now be more like 4 integrations now. But either way, it an irrelevant piece of product ecosystem. Every other API by Xero is more heavily used.
I am in my 40s, and so are most of my friends. But I'm dating a younger person (20s) and hang out with his peer group on occasion. So, this is anecdata, but I don't think it has anything to do with any age group specifically.

The modern web and app space is just filled with minor annoyances that individually are probably fine but that add up to a sort of aggregation of frustrations and feelings of being manipulated that is hard to put a singular description to. I get this sentiment in both age groups that I have high exposure to. It's not really about hating new trends because we're just old and comfortable with how things are (or were).
Google+ was the BEST. Only idiots protested the integration with YouTube.

What monopoly? You just can buy a printer with refillable ink tanks from several competitors, but also from HP. Then you pay the real price for the printer and the printer heads that need to be replaced occasionally.
does it never end? utter madness. the US is not even at war directly with anyone! my hometown is starved for jobs. people wander homeless, there is a major drug addiction epidemic, and all Biden can do is wet the appetites of an industry that is overpaid, and underperforming, on top of which has no war declaration to justify it's industry's bloat! if there is a war to fight tell us. we will fight it. but no war is one in secret and by simply throwing more money at nothing! this is symbolic of a failing empire.
Safari seems to have its own implementation of a virtual security key also. Before I plugged in my Yubico recently, Safari asked me for my fingerprint as a fallback.
HP is involved in that. They wrote the software, provided it to Microsoft, and are aware of how Windows Update works. I'm reminded of the times Windows Update has "helpfully" installed drivers for HP printers for me that are essentially bloatware, phoning home, asking me to create an account, and advertising its ink.
I think it's the motion curve and the slow animations. Faster transitions and a rounder motion curve may just fix the problem, I believe.

The YouTube app has the same types of transitions but there it all feels a lot smoother.

Ask HN: How significant would the collapse of SVB be on SV startups?
For context, here’s one investors opinion:

>> “Government intervention should be considered,” warned billionaire investor Bill Ackman on Thursday. “SVB could destroy an important long-term driver of the economy as VC-backed companies rely on SVB for loans and holding their operating cash. If private capital can’t provide a solution, a highly dilutive Government-preferred bailout should be considered.”

The severance package is proportional with the length of employment at GM, which is highly correlated with the age. In this country you can't discriminate based on age, so this is a legal way to thin out the ranks of the older employees.
Not typically.

Banks generally have liquid reserves to handle significant fluctuations in deposits. If that’s insufficient they have incoming cash flow and the option to borrow money to make up the difference rather than instantly selling assets.

Thus in practice extracting 5% over a week is fine but there’s a threshold that will kill any bank.
