Are you going to take it away and put it in a drawer? Not without the rest of the computer.

You are the one being reductive. You have lost the context, and that context is the entire point.
>If you need to talk to someone immediately: 800-273-8255

it's an 800 number, perhaps you should be clear to where you're directing people: the American National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

I get that you're trying to be light-footed around the topic, but I feel as if I must point out that not all people that need to talk to someone even have the concept of self-harm on their mind.

If you actually just need to talk to someone , try a Warmline. [0]

At the median Silicon Valley engineering wage, $250k would be enough to pay about 100 engineers for one week, or 25 engineers for a month.

Yeah, $250K isn't going to go very far.

Nobody forced SVB to buy up long bonds at negative real yields.
Then how come you don't hear many engineers working at big banks who regularly break the law get slapped with either jail time or fines?

Actually curious— are there any examples of engineers getting jail (or even fined) for being an employee at a company that did a lot of wrongdoing? Even for Theranos, I don't think any regular scientists were on the hook?
They won't lose deposits except insofar as they decided it was OK to exceed the 250k limit for FDIC insurance. And in deciding to do that, they were deciding to take a risk and got burned by it -- but it was a risk they willingly took on.
He is suggesting that the Fed/FDIC make depositors whole, not necessarily bail out the bank.

There is a good chance that depositors will be made whole regardless, but even if it does require some intervention it is probably worth it to prevent this from spreading to other banks. There are very valid reasons why certain organizations would need to keep more than $250k in an account, and if everyone of them started transferring their money to a handful of the safest institutions, then things could quickly get out of control.
Yep. Let's not forget this same thing pretty much happened last year in the UK - pension funds got margin called because they borrowed money to buy gilts (UK gov bonds). Low interest bonds, money tied up, messed them up when interest rates rose.
I suspect it's not infinitely divisible.

My stupid argument is to ask whether you can be say pi metres away from something else. You'd think so because as you move somewhere between 3.142 and 3.143 metres away from something, you'd pass pi and therefore land right on it.

But how do you find where to stop at this transcendental position? Having granular space would solve this because there would be no such position.
There is a strong bias to focus on things that helps yourself, that is only natural. So IC's will focus too much on things that improve their career, managers will focus too much on things that improve their career, directors will focus too much on things that improve their career etc.
Inflation would like a word.
Only indirectly. They released a statement after the FTX collapse saying effectively "don't worry, no problem here", which caused a bank run that they couldn't manage and forced the collapse.
Haskell Tiny Game Jam 2023 Results
The FDIC will be working over the weekend to sort out account ownership by ownership category to establish which balances are insured and which are not, and taking the administrative steps to stand up a new Depository Insurance National Bank to take over administering SVBs business. Access to all insured funds should be available Monday, and depositors with uninsured funds should get a mix of some funds and “receivership certificates” for the uninsured balances.

So, yeah, not “totally stuck”, but anyone with balances over $250K may be…largely stuck.

> Head, we get bonuses

You're doing to have to define "bail us out".

SVB's shareholders got wiped out.
For now, there is nothing.

A contact who has a college friend who works(/ed?) at SVB as a client service rep says that they were "specifically instructed to make or accept zero communications, emails, or phone calls with SVB clients."
I mean, I'd love to buy somewhere cheaper, but that would require being even further outside of the city (and further from work) than I already am. Taking a job outside of the city means lower pay, making that place just as expensive as being sort of near, but not quite near the city. Not to mention that I'm already in a fairly cheap market (I mean, it's the Atlanta area so it's not "cheap", but it's not New York or San Francisco or what not). Trust me when I say that you can't live in (or near) the city without roommates unless you make a software salary or are very lucky.
Also, how poor the decision-making must be at all those startups in regards to where they keep their cash.

Unless, of course, this predicted white knight never appears because lots of other banks are secretly in similarly shaky positions where they are also holding lots of long-term Treasuries or MBS that are in some respects extremely safe but which also pay only 0-1% over 5-10 years, and those “assets” would need to be fire-sold at 65% of face value if the bank ever needed cash quickly…

And even if that white knight or even off-white-ecru knight did come along and want to buy the bank next week, what if they don’t decide to make every depositor whole, for those holding cash above FDIC limits? They certainly don’t have to do that. They could just buy the loan book. Or the warrants or early debt for a number of Silicon Valley startups. They can be vultures, not Santa Claus…

I think people don’t quite grasp what could be coming next.
These bonds are not held as investments, but as collateral for getting other things (like money to buy mortgages with).

If your collateral gets worse ...
I noticed that he conflated the safety of a T-note* with the asset price. US Treasuries are AAA-rated super safe guaranteed returns because they're not expected to default or miss a coupon payment, and they'll be redeemed for the full value when they mature. That doesn't mean they don't have market prices that fluctuate.

*T-bills are up to 52 weeks maturity.
If you consider the current Chinese state to have continuity of legitimacy with the previous Chinese states, then you might also consider that all of those states expanded by taking chunks out of their neighbors for thousands of years.

To quote from the wikipedia article on Chinese Expansionism[1] "Chinese expansionism over the last four thousand years has been a central feature of the history of East Asia."

I think it’s too early in social media’s life to distinctly say it’s worse than smoking. Not enough time has passed to allow for a long-term longitudinal study on the long-term effects on social media use.

While tobacco might be a first-order cause of its ills (cancer, etc), the second order effects of social media might have cascading effects that is too early to tell on a long time frame.

I’d be intrigued to read any decade long studies looking at the well-being of users of MySpace and the early adopters of Facebook.

There’s disgust for a few reasons. One is that the wealthy (including VCs) have an undue influence on society and the economy just due to being wealthy. It’s always nice to see them take a hit sometimes.

Silicon Valley is “building the future”, but at the same time can be very disconnected from the lives of many people around the country. That leads to mistrust and lack of empathy when these kinds of things happen.

They are related in that crypto (and ftx) and the massive explosion of start-ups are a low-interest rate phenomena.
Are you sure that is the problem? I see lots of comment today they lost a lot of money on long dated treasuries. Which is "safest" asset.

The government buying those bonds at face value would be ridiculous. They're worth 80% of face value or less on the open market. So buying them at face value would be a 25% subsidy... Billions of tax money flowing to VC funded startups. That's an absolute no-go.

The solution is to wipe out the SVB shareholders, that's the only way to make sure other banks don't have an incentive to do these things. Then pay the startups whatever part of the funds you can recover on the market (may be close to 90% if some comes from SVB shareholders).

The VCs may have to step in at a few companies for loosing 10%, but that's likely the ones that weren't doing great anyway.

Using tax payer money to save SVB shareholders and some VCs is ridiculous. These guys have enough money, they're all professionals, it's a risk they took and unfortunately they lost this round. Better luck next time.
On the one hand, of course in this case it applies. On the other hand, let's not pretend CA government doesn't sometimes pass things that aren't very effective.
Thanks for your comments. I've been pirating one way or another for a couple of decades. Always always saw the crackers as someone who did it for anything but money.
you’re not missing anything

its not just government bailout versus nothing. private equity could have come together and tried to shore of the bank in its capital raise, but nobody (not enough) wanted to be first. their own collective risk aversion is their demise. And on the greed front, people totally plan to buy the carcass and firesold assets.
I think brain == LLM is only approaching true in the clean, "rational" world of the academia. The internet now amplifies this. IMHO it is not possible to make something perfectly similar to our own image in a culture that has taken to feeding upon itself. This sort of culture makes extracting value from it much, much more difficult. I think we map the model of our understanding of how we understand things to these "AI" programs. Doesn't count for much. We have so much more than our five senses, and I fully believe that we were made by God. We might come close to something that fulfills a great number of conditions for "life" but it will never be truly alive.
No.

My money market fund (VMFXX) is composed of Fed Repo notes with 13 _DAYS_ of maturity average (https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/mutual-fun...)

A bank holding customer deposits in lol 30 _Year_ or 10 _YEAR_ treasuries is anything but safe. That's called duration risk, and congrats, they just got burned by duration risk.
Lämp!
Let's say out loud the part that too often goes unstated:

You can rewind & replay a fixed execution of the program.

All the external interactions are recorded, and the replay can only literally replay what already happened.

You cannot change a variable or edit the code and branch off into a different execution path, that talks to the outside world differently; the rest of the world did not get rewound with the program.
You can also use red cabbage water
This is fantastic! I was hoping it would "just work" and seems like it does! Unless I missed it I think the docs should explain this. It would definitely be a selling point for me compared with having to run a local server like with Temporal.
Founders can take a loan on the IOUs from the FDIC from VCs and make payroll. Worth watching who goes this way and who holds out, doesn't pay their employees, and begs the federal government to pay them.
We should be aggressively recruiting and training folks to go into the medical professions, and paying for their training so you don't have to go into huge debt to become a doctor.
Depends on what you’re looking for in an engineer. I consider the author’s learnings to be relatively obvious, of course and engineer that “gets to know their colleagues” is doing great.

Fact of the matter is that there are a whole lot of people that aren’t necessarily into that, but are great individual contributors, and should just be left to their devices as long as they’re a positive contribution, not just to your codebase, but towards your organisation as a whole.
Why?

Because you will eventually have to work with these people and their problems will become your problems, especially if you are seen by management as someone who can fix those issues. Young adults tend to group together and cling to co-workers because they haven't learned to cope with life independently of the situation they find themselves in. I generally like my co-workers, but I have no inclination to spend any independent time with them. It's not that I don't want to make friends at work, it's that I don't want a condition of my friendship to be tied to the workplace. If I'm not seeking that person independently now, then I'm probably not going to do it later after switching jobs.
Most modern OSes (recent MacOs excluded) are 64-bit, but can run both 32 and 64-bit programs.

When such OSes run a 64-bit program, they are in 64-bit execution state and when they run a 32-bit program, in 32-bit execution state.
Basically, the processor switches execution state depending on what is being run, and in a way "emulates" a 32-bit processor by restricting registers and so on to be compatible with the 32-bit arch.
That is false.

I didn't. I meant to put a blank line between them so they would be in different paragraphs, but it only wraps to a second line on small screens. On the desktop they show on one line.
Double-entry bookkeeping is essentially the law of conservation of energy applied to balance sheets. It's much more deep as it was invented some 5 centuries earlier than programming.
Forgive the naive question, but why did so many companies put all their cash in one account instead of spreading it between two or more independent banks?
Curious what are the ways SVB could have hedged in this scenario?
Either way, they were treating them as if their value was guaranteed prior to maturity. That has never been a thing that these instruments guaranteed. They were gambling, because they failed to hedge that risk.

I know a lot of left wing people and have been in and around the political community for a long time, so I have a reasonably good intuition of the scope and influence of different tendencies. I haven't bothered to gather hard data on it, which seems like it would be hard to come by in any case.

What should I do about the "bad" ones?

Not hang out with or spend time on them if you don't find their views tenable. I sometimes critique such groups privately or publicly to dissuade people from joining or giving them credibility; for example somewhat well-known groups like the Revolutionary Communist Party or the Party of Socialism and Liberation are little more than grifts that encourage people to volunteer their time/libery in whatever political cause is trending right now, and cycle donation money back toward a small coterie of ideological profiteers. Both of them have roots in 60s radicalism. The RCP are Maoists deep down, PSL have more Stalinist tendencies I think. But they're much more preoccupied with being dissatisfied about the state of things than plotting about how they'd oppress their enemies once they take over, because their whole organizing model is based on 20th century mass politics.

But their actual membership and influence are very low, with a high degree of turnover. The RCP, for example, has a youtube channel but few of their videos get even 1000 views despite them nominally being a national organization. That's why such groups go where the crowds are in hopes of picking up new recruits; they have little or no capacity to drive anything, and are not sufficiently obnoxious to start fights with anyone else. Instead they show up with banners, posters and megaphones, hand out signs to anyone who will take one, and try to scoot themselves towards the front of any sort of march or photo opportunity to look relevant. They don't actually do much besides publicize themselves and solicit donations. Some of these go back into printing more agit-prop and some financially supports the staffers/leaders, though from what I can tell it's pretty small beer. You never see them organizing strikes or trying to set up community services like eg Food Not Bombs.

A more interesting question is, are these actually mistakes or just part of the journey from a junior engineer to manager?

People problems and building relationships with your co-workers are things that I have realized are important over the last couple of years (Haven't done any hiring yet).

In saying that, I'm not sure it would have been wise to focus on these things earlier than I did. There were too many other things I needed to learn. Focusing on code is probably a good thing when you are a junior. Leave the higher level problems for a little later down the line.

I've thought about hiring and am interested in doing it and getting good at it because I see that it's very high value, but I don't think it's the right time. There are more important skills and behaviours for me to develop right now.

I try to focus on things 1 or 2 steps ahead of where I currently am, no more. Otherwise it's too far away from reality.
If the bank's failure doesn't represent a systemic risk to the economy, such that the executive branch would be justified in propping them up, we're talking about a popularity contest. Who does the American public like less, nerds or bankers? might not play in congress quite the way the OP is hoping.

It might not come to that, since the specifics of the bank's financials will determine whether everyone eventually gets their money back.
All part of the Acronym-Reuse Model.
nonsense - what banking innovations do startups need? is there really any such thing as a startup? or are we just talking about small businesses some of which grow into larger still unprofitable businesses? hopefully this mythologizing stops
> looking for

Thanks - but I was actually looking for a constructive article if from the FT, which requires avoiding a cheap early stopping in the class of "entrepreneurs are at risk of distress".

Lack of analytic depth in the identification of strict causes that brings the article author to solutions like "«educate»" (to what?), "fight «addiction»", "pause then just stop", "have an age limit enforced". In the parallel: "entrepreneurs: know the risk, fight your drive to be a workaholic, take a vacation and maybe you will decide that it is a better life". And if you wanted to be on HN - well, let us see your documents (we'll check your age).

...Post naturally related to my other reply nearby.
Worse case, imho, is your company has trouble making the next payroll since most of it's funds are temporarily inaccessible. And after the dust settles they take a ~10% haircut on all the cash they had in the bank.

SVB still has lots of assets, they just aren't very liquid and it's possible the value (if you sold them all today) isn't quite enough to cover all deposits.
The problem is you don't know what the next best alternative is for that person.

Maybe that option is working 18 hours getting fucked in a brothel and sleeping 6 hours.

Maybe that option is working 8 hours, but watching your children starve to death.

If people are lining up for these jobs, it is clearly better than their next best option in their mind. Who are you to say they are wrong?
