C# dev here, and I don't bash Java, in fact I don't tend to comment on languages that I'm not an expert on, because well, not an expert. This covers the vast majority of programming languages and toolkits. Nobody know them all. Nobody knows more than a small fraction of them.

I'll make one generalisation though: any dev of $langA that spends their time bashing $langB is doing pathetic insecure gatekeeping. And should give it up. This applies to what grandparent comment is talking about, and to grandparent comment itself.

It's not cool to hate on an out-group, even if it's a community bonding experience.

I refer the grandparent to Scott Hanselman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzhQIpT7S50
It depends on the nature of your compute. If it is dominated by IO, or if you are actually calling native libraries (like `numpy` does, or it is something that is handled by `arrow`), there is no reason to switch away from Python. If you are writing custom algorithms, I think https://julialang.org/ is a great option.

Yes it's mostly because it looks interesting and fun. I definitely agree these type-golf-esque solutions are not ideal in an enterprise project especially where we have juniors and fullstack devs committing a lot of FE code.
I have a naive question. When I was a little kid and the FDIC only insured the first $100,000, I thought, "If I were rich, I'd have to have multiple bank accounts."

Do big companies not do this with their liquid assets as a matter of course? Are there just not enough banks? Or would per-account fees unknown to me as a little guy eat into savings?

I get that big companies directly hold a bunch of bonds, too. But if they use a bank so they can actually write checks, why not many banks?
Im not sure thats possible. Like all regulation, it’s impossible for the regulator to truly know the full situation. It would take a massive army of regulators to go through the financials of thousands of banks in the US. Plus the banks can lie, put things in their best light, or structure transactions to make it look like a lower level of risk than there really is.

And of course, by the time the regulator finds out, the damage is done.

I think its far better to cap the risk protection. That way you have customers doing their own risk management as well - avoiding what they perceive to be risky banks, diversifying deposits across banks, choosing alternative assets to store wealth, etc.

Exactly, this seems like such an obvious solution. What is the (non-ideological) catch?
It's pretty well understood that no bank can really withstand a complete bank run. It's simply not how banks are currently designed to be able to always and forever be able to return 100% of cash at a moments notice. And there's good reason for this, if you always need to have 100% of deposits ready at 60 minutes notice you're pulling a whole bunch of investible capital out of the economy and just sitting on it unproductively. So pretty much any bank that suffers a bank run is going to have to fire sale assets to produce liquidity, and often when that happens other banks will refuse to buy since they're afraid of being the next victim of a bank run. So very quickly this turns into a game of hot potato.

What's unique about SVB though, is that despite it being a relatively large regional bank, a handful of its customers - tier 1 VCs have enough clout to force a bank run. These VCs have created a situation where their entire portfolio of companies depend on SVB, and as a result if they say "Get out of SVB" they can cause massive disruption. What's really funny about this though, is that these VCs -aware that this is the case - don't decide "Better be super careful about dealing with SVB and slowly diversify to de-risk this massive systemic risk to their industry. No, instead what they do is they execute the exact bank run they know will massively damage their industry.

To put it in historical context, this is like if JP Morgan, instead of gathering institutional leaders and co-ordinating a calm and orderly response to a crisis had run on to twitter and screamed "IT'S ALL GOING TO ZERO GRAB YOUR CASH NOW".
They article notes that it’s unclear whether the analysis considers discounts from reserved instances, but then brushes it off. Considering that reserved instances save about 40%, that is a huge deal.

Next, the comparison doesn’t seem to account for the cost of personnel to maintain the self-hosted infrastructure, not to mention the replicate the security and other layers of infrastructure management that are built into AWS.

Next, Singapore sits atop at least 5 different pan-Pacific cables. They are connected to HK, Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, etc. So this company uniquely benefits from redundancy that other companies not in Sing may not enjoy.

That said, I wouldn’t put all my eggs in region basket, let alone one DC! It doesn’t say, but it doesn’t appear that the analysis includes the cost of maintaining a subsidiary company in another region for HA.

Basically, this analysis, or at least the reporting of it, leaves a LOT to be desired. As it is, it is just a fluff piece that lets you see what you want to see. If you don’t like cloud, it confirms your bias. If you like cloud, the article looks like junk you can ignore.

They did let the bank fail. The bankers lost any wealth that was tied to ownership of the bank. Of course, a bunch of them sold shares as they saw the end near, but that's something the SEC should prosecute as insider trading.

They're saving customers to a large extent, who could have done more diligence when choosing a bank, you could argue. But they still feel pain going through this process. And not saving them would have worse consequences for the entire system.
Experts flag moral hazard risk as U.S. intervenes in SVB crisis
A group of psychologists, two from Northwestern University and the third from the University of Oregon, has found via online testing that IQ scores in the U.S. may be dropping for the first time in nearly a century. In their paper published in the journal Intelligence, Elizabeth Dworak, William Revelle and David Condon describe analyzing the results of online IQ tests taken by volunteers over the years 2006 to 2018.

This is not that surprising. The people who took online tests in 2006 may have been earlier adopters, and and thus slightly smarter than later test takers. Second, it's impossible to make an extrapolation about online tests ad being applicable to IQs a century ago.

As it's said in the paper:

As the annual sample sizes have increased in more recent years and the SAPA Project has discussed in more public outlets such social media (mistressredditor, 2013; Murray, 2017; SAPAPsych, 2014a, SAPAPsych, 2014b) or online articles (Guarino, 2018), it's plausible that newer annual samples are more “average” or normal representation than those recruited during the SAPA Project's former years.

Cyclists on sidewalks are the reason why most non-cycling pedestrians despise cyclists.

I’ve walked along a pavement in London, and a cyclist has come towards me at over 20mph when there is a cycle lane just 6 feet away - that cost hundreds of thousands of pounds in public money to install - is completely empty and unobstructed, and it was utterly terrifying and very, very frustrating.

I don’t want cyclists to be in danger - and I always give plenty of room to them when driving - but at the same time, I’ve yet to encounter a more selfish and tone-deaf community of road users in London, particularly the pavement riders. If you don’t feel safe cycling on the road, please don’t cycle at all: stop endangering pedestrians and making life worse for everyone (including other cyclists).

I've been cycling for about 10 years in multiple cities (in Australia, Brazil and Portugal), all of which don't have proper infrastructure for cycling . I always tend to go as fast as I can, trying to ride with the traffic instead of being pushed over by cars trying to overtake me (and making drivers annoyed that they have to go slower). I find that jumping lights lets me to that way better, and that's mostly why I do it. Of course, it also makes me get to my destination faster which is always nice.

When I tell this to people that drive only, they tend to disagree and get annoyed that I don't follow the law and can't really get penalized for it. I still think it's better for everyone when I jump lights - and they probably will also think that once they have to wait for a cyclist to slowly accelerate when the light turns green.

Our system is: an open dishwasher can accept new dirty dishes.

So if the dishwasher is closed, it's either cleaning (put dirty dishes on the counter) or it's done cleaning. And when you open the closed dishwasher you immediately must transfer all clean dishes to the cabinets. And then it's able to accept new dirty dishes.
Again, how is it that an email, that came from your cloud service provider, titled "Important Information Regarding Your Google Account" was ignored because of the "spam filter in your brain"? Again, this really sounds like an excuse for not reading important emails from your provider. It doesn't even seem to have been marked as spam by Gmail and is from Google Payments which should already have sent off alarm bells. I'm not saying that responding to their mail would 100% have led to your account staying on cause GCP is generally pretty shit but this part of your article is basically handing all responsibility of poorly handling important communication off to someone else

I suggest once you move to AWS you filter and route all emails from these "special" senders to a separate tag that always notifies you on incoming emails so you don't miss them
Of course, that's why SVB failed. But the FDIC doesn't need the money now (well assuming they successfully stop the dominos from falling).
RJAA for anyone curious
The idea that models can't be copyrighted isn't far fetched. The basic idea is that models are created by an automated process not by a person.

The courts have already upheld that AI generated output is not copyrightable for this exact reason.

So if you do not buy that it applies to models then you would have to explain the difference between the process which outputs bits into a model's layers (aka training) and the process which takes bits into the input layer and then dumps out the subsequent bits of the output layer (inference /generation).

Then explain why that distinction is different in regards to the applicability of copyright.
You’d be changing the definition of “defunded” then. It means “less money”.
Check your contract. Nobody can answer this for you
>If these statements are true, can someone explain how it's possible that despositors are fully protected, far beyond what FDIC insures, without the taxpayer bearing any of the burden?

The shareholders already lost everything and unsecured creditors are about to lose everything. That's still not enough to make all depositors whole though, which is why the statement said the FDIC will be paying for the rest and funding that payment by "a special assessment on banks". Therefore, the simple answer to your question is "all other FDIC insured banks, rather than the taxpayers, are picking up the tab here".
Why were you jumping lights though, is that not causing yourself more danger?

I've been a cyclist, motorcyclist and a driver. I've never jumped a red light on a bike. In the past 10 years of living in London I've seen hundreds of cyclists running red lights long after they've changed, or before they change back. I've seen plenty of motor vehicles run through a yellow-red, but never a long-red light (until yesterday actually).

Just yesterday I did see a taxi cross a junction on a red as it was about to change back to green, but while still red (how impatient can you be)?

I don't cycle anymore, I was hit by cars 3 times when I wasn't at fault before I moved to London, and decided not to take my chances there.

I'm always aware of cyclists and motorcyclists around me and will go out of my way to accommodate them, too many road users are blind to them, but I can't agree with red light running; if someone comes across the junction while its red for you because you decided to cross, and kills you, it's very much your fault, but they'll take the blame, or at least the burden, and you'll be dead.

As for police fishing operations, I've seen them sitting on one-way streets ticketing cyclists and scooter users, which personally I think is a bit silly (especially in the case of this particular street).

That's a silly generalization. Are you telling me that all the priests I know are wicked renegades, because they maintain loving, close bonds with their parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and nieces? Ouch, that forbidding is harsh stuff. Wait until their bishop finds out! ...The bishop who visited his family on Christmas.

Also you've ignored and snubbed Ordinariate priests and many Eastern Catholic ones who are happily married with plenty of kids running around the parish.
As someone who's not an expert in finance, it's impossible for me to tell how seriously to take various predictions in these threads, because almost none of them disclose their exposure, and so there's no way to distinguish between wishful thinking and sound analysis.

So for all these non-disclosing multi-paragraph posts, they might as well just say "it'll be fine, trust me bro" from my point of view.

He clocked the police, hopped off and went right through the crossing. I was just behind and did the same. It was only once we got round the corner that I saw his face with a massive grin; police didn’t touch us.
What made SVB even worse was that its customers were flush with VC cash and didn't need to borrow, so it looked elsewhere to make a return on the cash.

I can equally see a scenario where someone on Facebook or Twitter says "Get out of Wells Fargo" and millions of people would do it.

> What's really funny about this though, is that these VCs -aware that this is the case - don't decide "Better be super careful about dealing with SVB and slowly diversify to de-risk this massive systemic risk to their industry. No, instead what they do is they execute the exact bank run they know will massively damage their industry.

They can't even say that without causing a bank run because everyone with a brain in their heads would ask themselves "I wonder why they are saying that, something must be wrong" and that alone causes the bank run. Even a bank saying "everything is fine" can cause a bank run because people would wonder why they feel a need to say that.

Plus, even if they could try to quietly de-risk SVB, everyone knew that if even one person spills the beans, the whole plan is spoiled. And what are the odds that nobody would spill the beans? Plus, what if you are a VC and that happened and then all the companies whose board you serve on find out that you didn't warn them in advance even though you knew they could have spared themselves by getting out early? It would not be good for you.

Bottom line -- the incentives to quietly hide a potential bank failure and coordinate a massive (yet somehow stealthy and not scary to depositors) response just aren't there.
Assuming they’ve still got access to the servers themselves via SSH, you’d start by issuing a new root CA cert for the Puppetmaster and putting that in place, then you’ve got to issue a new cert for every client and distributing those.

HSBC Purchased Silicon Valley Bank UK (SVB UK) for $1.21 (£1)
I think people mostly break the law "when little harm could come to them", and care slightly less about others. For bicycles, this isn't a problem because they pose little risk to others and most of the potential harm would be for the cyclist. So they only break the law when it's safe to do so. Motorists, however, are safe, encaged in their steel cage with seat belts, air bags and crumple zones, so they're generally safe. Most of the risks of their law breaking goes to other people, and if they care slightly less about the safety of others, that means their law breaking poses a much more serious risk.
> On top of that, SVB has the money to pay back almost all of the depositors. They just don't have it liquid right now because it's in bonds that won't mature for a while and would need to be sold for a loss.

Imagine another bank BVS of similar size that didn’t quite have the money. It has lost part of it in monkey NFTs or whatever. They have a loss similar to the mark-to-market loss of SVB.

Can they buy the same bonds that SVB has to patch the hole in their balance sheet? Can they then say “we have the money, we just don’t have it liquid right now because it's in bonds that won't mature for a while ”?

If not, why not? Both banks would have the same assets.
