Just search for insured cash sweep accounts

There are many many banks that offer this . It doesn't even have to be a TBTF Bank

Infact, SVB itself offered and those funds are protected

https://pilot.com/blog/svb-faq

What about my cash sweep account?
So, here’s the good thing about the cash sweep account: the assets held in the cash sweep account aren’t bank deposits or on SVB’s balance sheet—they’re held by a third-party custodian. So our understanding is you should be able to recover 100% of the funds there, regardless of what happens to the uninsured deposits at SVB.
I have a neat Hacker News scraping setup that I'm really pleased with.

The problem: I want to know when content from one of my sites is submitted to Hacker News, and keep track of the points and comments over time. I also want to be alerted when it happens.

Solution: https://github.com/simonw/scrape-hacker-news-by-domain/

This repo does a LOT of things.

It's an implementation of my Git scraping pattern - https://simonwillison.net/2020/Oct/9/git-scraping/ - in that it runs a script once an hour to check for more content.

It scrapes https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=simonwillison.net (scraping the HTML because this particular feature isn't supported by the Hacker News API) using shot-scraper - a tool I built for command-line browser automation: https://shot-scraper.datasette.io/

The scraper works by running this JavaScript against the page and recording the resulting JSON to the Git repository: https://github.com/simonw/scrape-hacker-news-by-domain/blob/...

That solves the "monitor and record any changes" bit.

But... I want alerts when my content shows up.

I solve that using three more tools I built: https://datasette.io/ and https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-atom and https://datasette.cloud/

This script here runs to push the latest scraped JSON to my SQLite database hosted using my in-development SaaS platform, Datasette Cloud: https://github.com/simonw/scrape-hacker-news-by-domain/blob/...

I defined this SQL view https://simon.datasette.cloud/data/hacker_news_posts_atom which shows the latest data in the format required by the datasette-atom plugin.

Which means I can subscribe to the resulting Atom feed (add .atom to that URL) in NetNewsWire and get alerted when my content shows up on Hacker News!

I wrote a bit more about how this all works here: https://simonwillison.net/2022/Dec/2/datasette-write-api/

> Being fat seems to be the most appealing one

It's not the most appealing one, it's the hardest one to manage. You can not smoke, you can not drink alcohol, you can not take drugs, but you cannot not eat.
You think they planned, executed, and released this change in under 48 hours, mostly over a weekend?
The only thing bordering on whataboutism is my comment about being underweight. Talking about obesity bring up a lot of extreme emotions in people, and people love to say "it's just about it being unhealthy" but then don't have those extreme emotions when thinking about underweight people. So it's not whataboutism, it's relevant context.

My two other points, anti-fat bias, and the harm of trying to change your body, are things that could explain the health impact of being fat while not actually being a direct result of the fat. So, not whataboutism at all - they are well documented factors that the linked article doesn't seem to account for or consider.
Socialized healthcare could possibly help destroy the beliefs you mention. Public policy will certainly change in terms of what "food" is even legal to sell in this country if bad decisions don't mean profit for private health care companies, but instead mean losses for the public.
Yes, thank you. I feel like people are throwing around "MBS" because it's vaguely menacing and reminds people of 2008. 2023 MBS are a completely different animal; any comparison to 2008 is a total red herring from people angling for free money from the taxpayers.
I can read it, but it definitely trips me up.
I get not wanting to be lectured, and I guess that is also where tact comes into play.

I have had my share of bad doctors but my current doctor is great and it never feels like a lecture. It feels more like a conversation. He makes a couple of small recommendations and we revisit it in a couple months.

Now I will acknowledge maybe this is because of where I am as far as being obese (as in it isn't a huge concern for my doctor) and I also mention that I am working on it.

But I view this the same way I view sexual health. I engage in some risky behavior, I go in for testing every 3 months. My doctor always asks me about what happened and mentions certain things that they encourage that I don't do. I don't take this as being lectured, I don't take this as them being judgmental or not sex positive, but instead just doing their job.

At the end of the day I am doing something that is not in the best interest of my long term health, and it is their job to tell talk about that.
I think shame can be powerful for many people, but it has negative side-effects that don't seem to be necessary. Obesity also has large genetic and environmental components[1], as well. Shame can make it hard for people to seek help, since the shame can be internalized to the degree that they don't feel like their life is worth fixing.

I'm brazilian so I use brazilian banks. Some of my banks pay me interest on liquid accounts. I don't allow money to accumulate in the accounts of those that don't. I also spread my investments over as many banks as possible: my accounts are independently insured for up to some amount. I also move money off of the banks as soon as humanly possible by buying real property instead. I don't trust them.

>its 100% impossible to stay there over your lifetime after being obese. Age will just catch up with you.

You will have to keep reducing your diet forever as your metabolism slows. It's not 100% impossible, just a very difficult lifelong struggle, like having type-1 diabetes.
We can absolutely be a society in which checking accounts are a pit of snakes which must be navigated by executive savvy and wit. It’s just going to be a much poorer one. The point is not to “protect jobs in Silicon Valley” per se, it is to maintain banking infrastructure as the sort of thing that just works (or gets urgently fixed) so that the entire economy can continue to rely on it, vs. entering a lower-trust regime where a checking account may as well be a stock portfolio.
The contract has a blacklist built in, see for yourself: https://etherscan.io/address/0xa2327a938febf5fec13bacfb16ae1... (and you can see the logs of them blacklisting and unblacklisting addresses here: https://etherscan.io/txs?a=0x5db0115f3b72d19cea34dd697cf412f...)

I’ve found that their editorial playlists are pretty badass but the problem is they don’t have obvious names. Like I’ve got one I really enjoy that is basically non-country music with pedal steel guitar that’s titled “Space Western” and there’s a slowcore playlist I dig called “Sad & Slow To The Core”. All of that to say- you’ve just gotta poke around. They didn’t even introduce user-generated playlists until fairly recently I think
Or, you could liquidate everything now and give people cash today that they could choose to put into treasuries themselves, earning a rate much better than your proposed lockup fee schedule. That sounds much faster and simpler and ultimately better for everyone.

There's this presumption of a false dichotomy when it comes to advertising on the internet. That you can have no ads and content that you have to pay for, or you must let google spam a bunch of javascript programmatically into your browser for you.

Having worked many years in traditional media, the amount of time this situation has lasted has really been surprising to me. You can make the best money selling advertisements directly. Even better, once you do so, you're no longer reliant on shady third parties to deliver your ads, and ad blockers generally aren't even able to block those ads.

We just never got the kind of "content aggregators" who would do this middle man work. Collect content that you pay for, categorize it into publications based on reader interest, then sell direct advertisements over the top of that publication or set of publications.

People like to think we're out of the "wild west" stage on the internet. We're just _barely_ starting to pull away from it.
UK scrambles to help tech firms after Silicon Valley Bank collapse
I'm still skeptical. He blurred it and then cropped it. The sharp edge from the cropping is going to mess up the deconvolution optimization by causing any and all deconvolution to strongly reduce sharpness along that edge. If I'm right, the Samsung would restore both halves equally well if the blur was applied after the cropping rather than before.

I still want to see this whole thing done without Gaussian blur, which is readily reversible by even primitive algorithms.

If credible, scientific evidence shows someone's preferences as being the wrong, suboptimal ones, then in fact that makes them noncontroversial; I'm not going to maintain the controversy by arguing with that person beyond conveying to them the existence of the research.

We have controversy where we don't have facts, or where they are willfully rejected.
How long until we have a 4chan-inspired bank run spill into real banks?

FYI these are links to an interview with Ackman from March 2020 when covid was starting. He claimed "hell is coming" amid the initial 20 - 30% decline, right before the sharp bounce up. So essentially, maybe don't over-index on this guy's claims since he has his own position. (Thought it'd be helpful to add some context so these links aren't just dangling)
Alternatively:

"Shame implies a personal failing, which readily translates into recognizing and correcting those personal failings."

In the 20th century, Americans fat shamed each other and were less fat. Today in Asia, people still fat shame each other and they're a lot less fat than Americans.

> too darned hard for rich people to do

Yeah, this is some ideologically driven smearing of people who are literally like I want to stick my seed round in a checking account and not have that disappear. For what it's worth, I'm not rich; I'm like a hundred-thousandaire. (And not affected, though friends are.)

Disappointing to see someone like you gloating that a bank screwed a bunch of small business customers. From reading your writing, I doubt you'd cosign "basic economic services like a checking account are use at your own risk" in almost any other area.
This is a foolish take, because it ignores the thousands of workers who distinctly aren't high rollers. It's hard for me to see the moral difference between 'public workers pension fund' and 'workers trying to feed their families, who happen to work at a startup'
No but you can buy government bonds.
For me I think it's exciting in a couple of different ways. Most importantly, it's just way more hackable than these giant frameworks. It's pretty cool to be able to read all the code, down to first principles, to understand how computationally simple this stuff really is.
I doubt it.

This is just the latest "current event" that everyone will be an expert on overnight.

I bet if you polled all the people with strong opinions (in either direction) they would get most facts about the situation entirely wrong.
The whole culture of people that talk about "fat shaming" and other such nonsense is a wonderful mirror for people to look into with regards to other Marxist lines of thought.

Step 1: Declare that there is no objective standard for health and/or beauty.

Step 2: Declare that things like weight and beauty are strictly a cultural phenomenon that have no grounding in reality or biology.

Step 3: Assert a power dynamic imbalance. Since there is no reason for people to say skinny is better, then skinny people are merely "fat shaming" people to oppress them.

Step 4: Relentlessly point out all the ways "fat people" are "oppressed". If anyone disagrees with you, accuse them of "fat shaming", label them an oppressor, etc.

You can replace weight with anything. Gender, sexuality, skin color. It's a terribly dull and boring argument. Once you see it, you can find it everywhere.
What I’m saying is that the management are in no way impacted by what happens to depositors, these are separate issues.

If you want to stop mismanagement like this don’t repeal banking regulations and instead regulate banks properly, that has nothing to do with that the fed decides to do for depositors to stop contagion and ripple effects in other industries.
You can eat real food instead of processed garbage, for starters. Nobody's getting fat eating vegetables.

> By "deposits" I was understanding "deposits backed by holdings at the central bank".

Ok. That would be reserves. But it's not like some deposits are backed and others are not (leaving aside the existence of different kinds of deposits) - what you have is a total amount of deposits and a total amount of reserves.
I’d rather do a single 20 hour flight from New York to Sydney than two flights.
FDIC has to make a decision about risk. There's no way they have done enough diligence to have a complete picture of liabilities (e.g. to find any non-public problems).

FDIC should pay early (Monday-Tuesday, not anytime "next week" as they've indicated so far) and should pay a big chunk, even though it's not completely safe.

Every day that goes by with uncertainty, the cost of the fear grows.
Fat people exist, and they need clothes to wear.
Bare in mind that this thread is going to be biased towards people who are struggling since they are more likely to share their plight.

Also bare in mind that the geography is going to make a big difference to your experience. Different countries are experiencing the recession in different ways and are at different points in the journey.
i'm curious about two things:

1) why are the feds claiming they are going to 'help' depositors? isn't it more, like, no, you're just going to do what you're required to do by law?

2) shouldn't the FDIC deposit insurance limit be pegged to inflation? yeah, obvious, but. last raised in 2008 to $250k. seems like it'd be about $350k today.
This should now bring an end to the delusion of the 'We're a family', 'Stronger together', 'We've graduated!' and 'our incredible journey' nonsense that all these unprofitable startups has pushed with useless 'DEI programmes' which all have been a product of QE and low interest rate mania.

The 'Go woke, Go broke' crowd are now laughing at this executive with the whole bank and the VCs running it into the ground and all the founders left holding a giant loss, which will finally force startups to focus on profitability rather than relying on endless millions of VC cash.
Please ELI5.
"Healthy Obesity" does exist. But it is vanishingly rare. When one's body has to support a large amount of muscle mass, it also needs a lot of fat to offset it. This sort of body composition is usually the result of "explosive" training taken to failure (or near it), which (probably) excretes more lactic acid all at once. People on steroids are the exception. AFAIK increasing total reps (lower intensity) instead of going to failure (higher intensity) doesn't help exclusively with fat loss after a certain threshold, you can see that in the different compositions of sprinters / marathoners (or for a more honest comparison, triathletes). You can see "healthy obesity" in people like Kyriakos Grizzly and Eddie Hall (pre-cut).

The human body needs fat and muscle to be in tandem. Deviation to the extreme of either end is very unhealthy and is quickly corrected by the body, given bare minimum stimulus. Absent this, you'll get the beetus and other things. High body fat can also protect you, for example, obese smokers are healthier on average than skinny smokers. All that poison goes to their fat, because fat pretty much acts as a sponge in the body. That's why "pink cheeks", "baby cheeks" are a sign of long-term health. It takes a very long time (years, if not over a decade) of a proper, modern-toxin-free diet to remove toxins from the body. In the absence of proper amounts of protein and fat your body usually likes to isolate harmful things, which can lead to myriad conditions down the line, even if you've been exercising for years and have been "healthy".

Also, related to the title of the main post, sugar and whole grains (processed flour is basically sugar) and horribly addictive. Obese people that have difficulty quitting / have side-effects from quitting might as well have entire regions of their brain dedicated to timing the intake of sugar precisely, at the expense of their mental functioning. So they would inevitably feel out of energy / motivation after a while, and would need food.

Also, the easiest way to lose fat and gain muscle is to subject your body to external weights. It doesn't even have to be very heavy. If you're obese, you could OHP 10kg every other day and lose a significant amount of fat, even without changing your diet (assuming it's not really horrible)
Every bank run leads to this exact conspiracy theory.

> If I take that recipes, type it out, and post my own version?

You probably need to make sure that you change any elements that aren't either common standards of how recipes are written ("preheat oven to 350 degrees"), or absolutely dictated by the requirement to convey the procedure. Which for a recipe probably just amounts to a paraphrase at most. But I don't think you can get away with copying every recipe absolutely verbatim.

The real problem, of course, is that people with money, and adherents of certain ideologies presently popular among people with both money and power, are pressing for the widest possible definition of what's creative in every possible area, because they fundamentally think that the best policy is that absolutely everything should be ownable somehow.

I suspect that the actual practical result will be that if, as should happen and very well may happen in some countries, courts decide that copyright law doesn't cover ML models, legislators will just extend copyright law until it does.
