Silicon Valley Bank parent, CEO, CFO are sued by shareholder for fraud
I think what OP is trying to say is that just because there is no CRO, doesn’t mean there is nobody that cares about risk. It’s a red herring.

If the CRO left, the whole organisation under and above him didn’t suddenly disappear. Chances are they have a top lieutenant that knows as much if not more of the actual risk than the CRO.
How do you "massively expand the size"? Please explain step by step.
I am, and I do, and yet that still doesn't change that a man who works for himself is still a capital-owner, whatever class he may identify with. I'm all for independent business owners (including small family businesses) identifying with the proletariat rather than the bourgeoisie, but pretending they're not bourgeoisie and sneering at people who disagree isn't going to incline anyone to listen to you.
Your first point isn't consistent as a counter argument. Parent wasn't saying "animals do it so it's fine for us too". That's obviously wrong given the broad range of behaviors animals have that would be absolutely ridiculous if a human did them.

Parent was saying killing animals to eat them is not necessarily cruel. All animals die. In nature, this death is often painful and drawn out. Farming, with very little compromise, can be immensely more humane that what the average wild animal experiences. It is often not, but that can be fixed, both by the individual (buy from local less horrible farms) and by society (better regulation).

All that being said, I mostly avoid meat and dairy due to concerns over animal treatment.

The problem with these SaaS companies is that they all eventually become seduced into whale hunting (big enterprise) and the product ultimately suffers as they are forced to adopt whale pricing and focus on endless enterprise reqs that the whales say they want (and most of the time don't actually use). The product drifts or stagnates for their core use case and then another startup comes along to 'disrupt' the market and they do until the process repeats.
Thanks for that - I've heard that feedback once before. I've changed the h2 to an h3. Do you have any tips for how I could make it feel less like the end of the page?

> The very last thing someone who's trans needs is to have a spotlight shoved in their face involuntarily.

Exactly! This seems so incredibly obvious, and I was stunned by the thousands of followers on the page who seemed to nonchalantly view this kid's privacy and wellbeing as a worthy sacrifice for supposed "trans activism." Especially since there were quite a few negative comments from trans individuals pointing out why this was wrong and a major violation of the girl's rights.

Stories about trans kids are very important to tell, and they can be wonderful tools to encourage empathy and understanding. But they deserve the utmost caution and respect when handling them, especially when there is the complication of people being able to profit off the children.

The other startling thing about the page was the mom's complete lack of interest in shielding details such as what school or hospital the girl went to. It seemed wildly dangerous to publicly proclaim your child to be a member of an endangered minority who often faces hate crimes, and then tell the world exactly which elementary school they attend. Talk about a great way to bait nut-jobs.

I realize I sound very twisted talking about those sorts of possibilities, but as someone who works in cybersecurity, I have just seen too many creeps commit too many crimes.

I would absolutely love to see a policy that forbids the sharing of photos of children, and any identifying details of children, to a public audience. If people want to share those things with their direct network, then sure. But it seems a wild violation of personal rights to be able to share those personal details about another human being to the entire internet, when the child is far too young to consent.
I know this is an unpopular opinion but if you want to stick with C++, the solution to this, at least in my experience, is to stop doing things that let you shoot your foot off. C++ gives you every tool in the tool chest, and most of them are not safe. Stick to a safe subset and you've solved 90% of all those stereotypically C++ problems.

I've got a pretty big C++ codebase for my hobby projects, sanded down, polished and perfected over the years without the usual corporate pressure to ship. The few times I run into memory corruption, a memory leak, a segfault, dereferencing a shit pointer, undefined behavior, and so on, its always, always because I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing. Like working with raw pointers or pointers to pointers to pointers, or traversing an array of bytes to do something there's already a library that does, or manually calling delete on something, or using reinterpret_cast<>, or using one of the many footguns C++ happily gives me. The simple key is to just stop doing these unnecessary things.
Effectively, yes. Tell them you are working on a solution to prevent this from growing into a bigger issue, but steps should be taken to mitigate risk if that attempt fails. I don't know why we expect everyone to behave like panicked children in this situation. The reason people panicked is because the messaging from Thiel told them to panic.

Just a reminder: NFTs that link to an image is a simple use case for the NFT token standard, and most of the time it didn't make any sense.

NFTs make more sense when representing ownership of digital assets that grant some utility.

I am a believer in the idea that in-game assets will become NFTs. Playing video games professsionally is like being a tradesperson, and just like a carpenter doesn't need to use a different hammer for each job, a gamer shouldn't need to get new stats or weapons for each game they play.

Just like a famous musician might, a gamer should be able to sell the gun they used professionally to a fan and that fan can have that represented in any game (using that game's native assets).

I see a lot of value in an open registry of digital items I own, each with a cryptographic proof of provenance, and which doesnt require a centralized entity to control and decide which games can and can't participate. This can be done without a blockchain, but then there's no central proof of who owns what (I can own the item, sell it, but still submit old proofs to a game to keep using the item).

I may think this way because I own a lot of digital goods that are stored in private databases which will someday shutdown. At that point, I'll loose all of those items.
My understanding is that you are wrong. At least in the United States it had a dual metal standard and use that to provoke inflation.

The photographer in this case, Baldwin Lee, was Chinese-American and grew up in Chinatown in New York. So his experience was probably not due to this phenomenon.
We were discussing a self-employed man, not someone who has employees. You're moving the goalposts again. I have to ask: Do you actually own a business? Have you ever worked for yourself? This sort of condescension isn't the sort of thing common among working men, but is very common among the petit bourgeoisie who think they know better than everyone else. I'm just curious.
> Does this take awhile inititally to setup? Yes it does.

This is fundamentally the difference to me. I've worked with hardware before, and if your business and load is predictable, and you understand how to architect it before going in, it's a good option. You can put in a bit of extra up-front work and get more control and lower costs.

But most tech companies are not like this.
The thing is though, no one cares about digital signatures. Tech bros can't even be bothered checking signatures for ISOs they are about to deploy to production. You think normies are going to check the NFT metadata, track down the original sale, find the artists public key and validate its legit so they can think "Oh no this NFT is a clone, I will now revoke my enjoyment of this picture"

So the government regulates how much risk they're allowed to take. They already do that with leverage ratios, for instance. I'm just not sure I see the problem with changing the status quo, but I do see the benefits of assuring all deposits.

Right now every single business of even moderate size has to have dedicated treasurers distribute payroll and other cash across multiple banks to ensure they fall under the FDIC insurance level cutoff. This is a totally unnecessary waste of time and capital, and so reduces market efficiency. If companies could just deal with one bank and offload risk management to people who should be better informed about doing it properly, backstopped by the government who ensures they stick to sane rules, how is this not a net win?

I agree moral hazard is an issue, and much stricter penalties for malfeasance of over risk, both for banks and for credit rating agencies are needed IMO. Moral hazard is already an issue though as 2008 and SVB have shown.
Yeah, we use a fixed-E alias of folly::Expected<> in our codebase which is similar to absl::StatusOr. Something like:

namespace our_project {
class Status { ... };

template <class T>
using Expected = folly::Expected<T, Status>;
}

absl::StatusOr<T> looks a lot like our_project::Expected<T>. This pattern of providing your own error type and aliasing Result is also somewhat common in Rust, I believe.
The buck does not stop with the CEO, it stops with the company’s board, who represent investors and who the CEO answers to. The CRO often reports to the board and at the very least, communicates directly with them.

The reason for the role of CRO is that the CEO, CFO and other C suite executives are not really aligned with investors incentive-wise. If the bank does really well, the CEO gets huge bonuses. If the bank crashes, the CEO gets fired but typically doesn’t lose all their money like investors do. Hence the need for the board’s function in risk management and a CRO to help them with that. In a bank, the risks are unique and often hard to see which is why risk management is often a huge department.

None of this exonerates the CEO. Of course they are to blame when things go wrong. But when financial risk is a huge part of a business, it’s good to have some backup for that role as well.

To start VAT reduces the margin of benefits of the maker and also damages the brand by requiring it to burn uncountable working hours to calculate taxes that could be used in a more productive way. This is bad, but their worse effect is to introduce friction in the trade, Introducing fear, angry, uncertainty and mistrust between buyer and seller.

This has the effect of reducing the market. If people needs to pay more for a product the final effect is less items sold and people delaying their purchase. If people things that has been scammed with a product with a poor ratio cost/benefit will be reluctant to keep buying accessories or other products from the same brand.

With VAT people needs to remind all of the time that the price for <stuff> that they asked for, could be with or without VAT, and that need to ask again to clear the issue and avoid surprises when paying. They will need also often to calculate the 21% more in your mind, before to decide to purchase or not, and this is a real pain in the ass.

VAT changes the behavior of the clients to be more cautious and conservative when buying things. Buyers will keep buying the old stuff that they know well and ignore entirely the new products, or will delay their purchase until spend some time looking actively for cheaper replacements. This is specially bad for innovative companies, that need to recover as soon as possible the zillions invested for years into creating new products. They will success only if they can attract enough early adopters; and a market full of cautious buyers is not a good start.

I remember the HST 125 as it was introduced. Go back to 1980. Two small boys (nine and 10) are stood on the east bound GWR platform at Newton Abbot in Devon, waiting for the Paddington train from Penzance. Will we get a sleek futuristic looking 125 or the usual boring diesel loco?

The rails made a clikkety click/clakkety clack or a CAtic/CAtac sound and more besides which sometimes enabled you to know where you were by the sound. You could also estimate speed with your eyes shut. [I could go on ...]

Anyway. 125mph is shit for something that runs on rails. There are quite a few examples of 180mph+ railway systems.

Sadly, 125mph was considered the future.
if that is your example, provide some code.
Totally get it. If you're into it for a few k to install, that's one thing. To me, the total costs for this seem a bit high. Who knows, maybe with scale things get cheaper. I'm definitely not their target customer, despite wanting to be.

The government made depositors whole, which I think almost instantly restored faith in the system. I feel like it's sort of no-op at this point.
> What's interesting, and actually quite well documented, is something called "terminal lucidity". This is when as someone actually gains mental clarity for a period of time some time before their death. The specific time periods vary with the sufferer. This is baffling medically, of course, because if a person's mental function is gone due to brain decay, then how can they get it back? And why does it foreshadow death?

Huh. This is interesting. In multiple intelligent agent designs I know how to create this improved lucidity would come as a consequence of estimation of values not needing to be short-circuited due to intractability. One design has this happen because the limit of the monte carlo rollouts converges to the accurate result due to reduced computation time. The other design has this happen because it stops taking the limit with respect to a value near but below one such that the limit of future expectation gets discounted to nothing. A final design, which is far less optimistic with respect to recovery from this, just has literal cached values for end of life scenarios.

It would foreshadow death because the world modeling suggests that death is happening and is still functional. It would produce lucidity because the erroneous heuristic functions wouldn't be relied upon as heavily as the world model's actual results. Or in the final case... it would have been precomputed before reaching that scenario and didn't decay but it was cache lookups.

Do you happen to know if putting the non-lucid people in life threatening and novel such that they would not have anticipated them situations - for example, standing near the edge of a cliff on a windy day - tend to increase lucidity?

Now that I'm thinking about this I notice that free soloists have been claiming that they gain increased lucidity during their climbs. So my model that predicts non-lucidity gaining lucidity actually successfully predicts an improved lucidity in free soloists too, which is not something I realized before I started thinking about this.

I am not a neuroscientist so I don't know how biologically plausible this is as an explanation goes.
I get that a "true libertarian" (shades of "no true scotsman?") wouldn't want any of my suggestions about legislation and that private insurance is available (as my original post mentioned).

I understand "libertarian in theory" ... I am waiting however for a libertarian from Silicon Valley to say that we should have let all these Silicon Valley entities fail for being stupid with their finances in this very real-world scenario. Help me understand a more moderate libertarian position.

We tried more libertarianism in the 2018 legislation that removed some of the need for hedging for SVB and look where it got us. How does libertarianism help us from here?

I don't mind a little libertarianism... But it seems to me if the savvy Silicon Valley folks can't manage their payroll risk with all their smarts, what about payroll for a bank in some more ordinary US city? I am not a fan of government intervention particularly and the moral hazard of guaranteeing all depositors disturbs me. But despite that, I also don't really consider SVB a one-off... it seems to me that SVB is just one of many (hopefully smaller) banks with this whole "class" of interest rate maturity risk that is far worse in an environment of raising interest rates. I remember in 2008 how much got sucked out of money market funds in a few days when the previously-theoretical-risk of breaking the buck in uninsured accounts started money moving at velocities that nobody was really prepared for. So while I would have preferred more guardrails around how much depositors were covered, I also can't bring myself to completely condemn FDIC risking moral hazard to ensure stability to try to avoid psychological contagion spreading to a LOT more banks.

The problem is that libertarianism and preventing bank runs just seems to me like problems with "unrestricted short selling" or "calling fire in a crowded theater"... if you don't impose checks on it, the incentives for malicious behavior are so great (and the costs to being malicious so small) as to be counter-productive. Why not go all the way to anarchy? Do you really think market forces will magically govern against abuse and malicious claims without the force of the state? It would seem to devolve to mafia land where powerful factions just agree not to mess with each other and you have to have "pull" to get protection... which is exactly the critique Ayn Rand had of socialistic governments.

I was curious to hear what people say and despite my post getting downvoted to -2 points at present (it wasn't worded particularly well to avoid misinterpretation) I do appreciate all the replies.

There's virtually no similarity between the two. They are completely different games.

Early stage investing – low cost, high risk of failure, high multiple return, you'll need to make a lot of bets so can cast a wide net, longer term (could be up to a decade or more before you see returns), no established business, so you are betting entirely on the founders.

Late stage investing – high cost, low risk of failure, low multiple return, you can only make a small number of bets so have to be more selective, shorter term, company already has a well-established business, and your decision will primarily be based on how well it is doing.

A lot of those still seem to have lower violent crime rates than Toronto, Brampton, Mississuaga, and probably every other >200k population place around Toronto. So it's like I said, best to refrain from huge generalizations like Canada / USA when it doesn't matter for our specific circumstances.

Or, keep saying 'Even the “safe” parts of the US aren’t all that safe.' from an area that is more violent than mine in the US...
