> owners are running a business, not doing deep research on their bank

People buy index funds so that they don’t need to do deep research on individual companies.
The only logical reason that I see is that SVB UK is actually not in a good shape, and that they just copy-pasted the "good practices" of the parent company, and ended up in the same situation, but without the bank run yet.

Otherwise, it's just a gift from gods, to pay 1 GBP for something worth 10B+ GBP and with 1B+ GBP in positive balance.
That’s fair, I do think it’s reasonable to compare losses or the size of bailouts. But we just don’t have that info yet.
That is incredibly laggy
> 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?

No one can tell you what will happen because to my knowledge the FDIC hasn’t told us yet. They may not have settled on a final outcome yet — there may be multiple options still live — finding a buyer for the assets of the bank, for instance. All this statement is saying is that they’ve verified that even in the worst case, the resources exist to make the depositors. whole.

Meanwhile,’bullshit’ is a strong claim. And I’m not going to fight you on the trustworthiness of government officials in general. But someone who’s been at this as long as Yellen isn't going to blow the Treasury Department’s credibility on a dumb, easily-discovered, get-you-through-the-day-and-then-fall-to-pieces sort of lie.

At the UN, “the West” officially means the “Western European and Others Group” (WEOG). Poland is not a member, it is a member of the Eastern European Group instead. Of course, many consider the UN Regional Groups to be a bit of a Cold War relic. But still, it goes to show that whether or not Poland is part of “the West” all depends on how you choose to define “the West”
This! Exactly this, because the government is also doing a backstop for a second bank, Signature Bank of New York. Silicon Valley Bank is the 2nd largest bank failure in U.S. history, and one day later, Signature Bank was also closed and its uninsured deposits guaranteed by the FDIC.

When does it stop?

> The criteria isn't threatening a "wider disruption to the economy", it's threatening the quality of life of a certain class of people.

In support of this view, they could have easily extended FDIC on a dynamic metric, for example 20k for each employee. If you are 5 employee VC fund sitting on 0.5 billion in cash, no bailout for you from taxpayer money (because let's be real, FDIC is all taxpayer money, it's irrelevant if that tax is collected by the govt directly or indirectly via mandatory banking fees).

An alternative path was to provide zero interest loans against your SVB holdings, with the expectation that you are on the hook for the shortfall that would be yielded by the liquidation. If SVB is well capitalized as the Fed claims it is and there is "no cost for the taxpayers", then this shortfall should be relatively small if any.

Another, even more radical option would be to quickly set-up a secondary market for the debt issued by these banks and let the market provide liquity and discover the value of the assets. This is one of the few innovations form the crypto world I wish we could see in traditional finance, we can't keep bailing out rich mofos like it's 2008 when we have all these wonderful new technologies which can stop contagion and bank runs, protect depositors and zero in on those responsible.

For the benefit of those looking to understand the premise of the question, The author’s complaints as to why SQL-based DBMSs are not ‘truly relational’ are enumerated as follows:

> Why did they neglect the obvious need for each of a table’s columns to have a name? Why did they allow a table to have two or more columns with the same name? Why did they decide to allow more than one copy of the same row to appear in a table? Why did they invent NULL and introduce that third truth value, UNKNOWN?

Where by ‘table’ he means ‘result of a query’.

So the complaint amounts to SQLs failure to fully ‘close’ such that the result of any query would automatically be an indexed relation exactly equivalent in capability to a table. Which I guess is something every SQL user has run into from time to time, and is a source of annoyance, but doesn’t seem to have prevented people from actually using SQL to… manage… relational data.

Also, much of this paper seems to be taken up with complaining that Codd didn’t think through all the details someone would need to iron out when actually implementing relational calculus, which seems like an odd place to lay the complaint. Codd demonstrated that a system based on relations was, in certain ways, complete and comprehensive (ie it could let you answer ‘any question’ about some data); that it didn’t also serve as an unambiguous spec for how to design a query language and engine seems to ask a bit much of the initial theoretical underpinnings of the entire field. Like complaining that Turing’s paper on universal computation doesn’t actually nail down how to design a CPU.

The West is done. A combination of greed, bad politics, poor education, degraded culture makes us live the last days in which the West matters.
No. Less than their total deposires. But loaned money may well end up in a bank where it might be loaned out again. But it's not IMHO right to try to claim one deposite as somehow "the first one" that gets loaned out repeatedly. Each deposit is loaned out less than 100 percent.

The bottom line is that not all deposited money is not readily available on short notice.

You have it exactly backwards.

To a bank, a loan is an asset and a deposit is a liability.

SVB UK had loans of around £5.5bn and deposits of around £6.7bn
Sure, but Optional<T> is what we were already discussing, and List<T> is the collection type that most obviously requires no indirection. Feel free to replace Optional<T> with any other sort of sum type and the point still stands — you always have one extra object between the list and the "actual value".

As educational systems take on ancillary roles and duties and educational rigor is de-emphasized this should be of little surprise.

When I went to school your teacher read out your grades as they were passed back to you, or stapled the results to a corkboard. Now, it's all in private and kids don't have the same peer pressure to do better. There is more coddling in schools, but at the high end, we see another problem, the children of the professional class are applied more and more pressure and sent to more and more demanding after school programs and a few of those end up with very high stress and sometimes driven to suicide.

There is definitely a bifurcation in education but overall a deterioration in pedagogy and the kids who need it most are suffering the most.
Every time I’m told it was an automatic system at Google, I doubt it. I can’t imagine all those heavy decisions aren’t actually reviewed by humans, who validate the automatic suggestions.

I think "raising the voice" might be the old fashioned term but I can not remember the more current term or even if there is one - put some time last night into trying to find it but search engines are nearly useless and return page after page of sites conflating voice and tone, or prescription punctuation guides which just list uses with no care about consistency in style.
That's what you are told. A bad bank went down due to risky investments and no hedging against obvious interest rate hikes. Yes, more will fail as a result and they should and the losses should not be socialized to the rest of us.

This is great news for consumers. Here in France, it’s a major pain in the ass to directly use your own router, thought not impossible. I did it with Open WRT on a Netgear Archer. It suddenly stopped working, and I suspect the VLAN config needed modification, but I gave up trying to bypass my ISP. I have their junk box again — to get something with Wifi 6 or meshing would be much more expensive. At least the fiber modem is integrated, so there’s a little less latency. I’m not a power user so the reward for patching together my own solution wasn’t high enough to teach myself networking, but the thing I absolutely cannot stand is the hardcoded DNS addresses.

It is a major privacy invasion for me. I use a VPN for a lot, but certain things can’t be done with VPNs, and it disturbs me that my partially state-owned ISP can gather that much more data on my online activity.

A ban is very easy to do, what you're describing is a ban unable to be circumvented. Most customers will give up with a small amount of effort - ban their email address and phone number and they'll give up.

If you're a company that collects and collates govenment IDs and their associated addresses, names, etc (which AirBNB are), then you can build something much closer to an uncircumventable ban.

The purpose for such a list is generally to remove low value, high cost customers who rate too high on your risk meter.

More money doesn't just mean better service.

For example, I spoke to a doctor that has to travel between multiple hospitals during the course of their work.

There used to be an in-house service that the NHS owned for transporting medical staff between locations.

That has been privatised as in a contract has gone out for tender and a company won to do the service.

The service used to be reliable.
Now they often have to book Ubers out of pocket to get where they need on time.

The inhouse service is gone. So of course and renewals are going to cost more.

When people talk about the deterioration of the service, a common counterargument is that the money being spent is going up as a way to shut down conversation.
So edgy. Let’s just bypass investigations and go directly into summary execution. Eat the rich!!!!!
I think people who work in reliability see this type of thing as the real existential threat to twitter. It's unrealistic that a large infrastructure would fall over overnight, but what is very realistic is small problems being neglected until they become big problems, or multiple problems happening at the same time.

This alone is probably manageable, it might even be simple but painful to handle for 2-15 of twitters employees (pre-firing) with specialized knowledge. If 3 people knew the disaster recovery plan and they all got fired because they were so busy maintaining things and fighting fires that they failed to get good reviews by building things, well I wouldn't be surprised. Likewise the employees trusted with extreme disaster recovery mechanisms are not the poor souls on H1Bs who don't have the option of leaving easily, so the people trusted with access might have already jumped ship since they aren't being coerced into staying on board with a mad man.

The real existential threat is another problem compounding on top of this or a disastrous recovery effort. Auto-remediation systems could do something awful. A master database could fall over and a replica be promoted, but if that happens twice, 4 times? Without puppet to configure replacement machines appropriately, there could be a very real problem very quickly. Similarly, extremely powerful tools, like a root ssh key, might be taken out, but those keys do not have seat-belts and one command typed wrong could be catastrophic. Sometimes bigger disasters are made trying to fix smaller ones.

Puppet can be in the critical path of both recovery (via config change) and capacity.
