The basic physics are arrayed against you. Higher speed cruise flight already means you already fly at higher altitudes or the thermal and structural loads would be intolerable. Stall departure resistance isn't the issue. Get high enough, and you're no longer talking about cruising flight, you're talking about hypersonic glide that has been accelerated to hypervelocity by rockets (this is called point-to-point boost-glide). It has been looked at, and people are continuing to look at it. There is a whole loose industry coalition in the U.S. called "FastForward" that is interested in this topic.

In 2013, during the Cyprus banking crisis, Bitcoin surged 350%

It sounds like they are selling the bank, not the assets. If they are selling the bank then I think the depositors will be made whole by the buyer. This will factor into the bid.

This is just my understanding, I am very open to being wrong.

Part of the problem is that those who are overweight don't want to be shamed for it or can wish others would avoid the topic. Consequently, it can become a socially complex issue, where people want to avoid hurting other people's feelings, but there is a clear as day health and physical appearance issue. And for many overweight people, once they are allowed to feel comfortable about it, they don't want to do anything about the problem. Too many rather live in delusion, until the end.

When societies put up facades and allows delusion to persists, the actual issue doesn't go away. People are still fat, unhealthy (and dying from it), and their appearance is still an issue (even if friends lie or avoid it).

It seems the parent comments are inquiring into the morality of the ad campaign. An effective ad shows the potential consumer some desired 'other state' which they could also have by purchasing this good or service. The advertiser is therefore giving some weight to the idea that the obese person in a desirable state. Whereas more traditional ads would show the same clothing on a traditionally attractively weighted person which shows that desired future state includes both the clothing and a more healthy body size.
I was able to use ctrl-j in bash (on ubuntu over ssh) and ctrl-j didn't trigger an execution.

I just did something simple like:

cat ./test.txt && # hit ctrl-j here
> less ./test.txt # the ">" was generated by bash automatically

So, it probably depends on what you're doing ...
Why wouldn't there be a way? They're a government corporation with a $2bn budget, thousands of employees, whose only purpose is to oversee this kind of event. And it's not like they've been overwhelmed with work recently. The bankruptcy was only made public Friday, but they've been working on it for longer than that. Yes, they've certainly done their due diligence.
> They should feel bad the same way smokers should feel bad.

Smokers are chemically and behaviourally addicted to a substance that's killing them. Just like alcoholics and heroin addicts.

It's probably appropriate to view obese people (food addicts) in a similar way. I don't understand the reaction of telling them to feel bad though. People who are addicted to harmful substances deserve sympathy and medical care.

>You could say the same about any government-provided taxpayer-funded service that benefits people in times of need.

But certainly not every need should be the taxpayers responsibility. Government safety nets should have positive return on investment for individual citizens. Increasing the cost to the individual without increasing the benefit threatens to delegitimize the entire endeavor.

Why would I ever want to expand the scope to include restaurants, student debt, or business risk if that scope has no benefit to me?

If I don't have student debt, a restaurant, or a corporate account, it just becomes crony capitalism and extortion from my perspective.

A lot of people feel that the purpose of taxes is not to socialize the cost of people's mistakes, but rather provide services where all sides see net benefit.
SpaceX wasn't worried about any of these issues until, mysteriously, "SpaceX" suddenly was coincidental to Elon Musk having his Twitter breakdown when he decided he personally was going to negotiate peace for Ukraine[1] and was promptly rebuffed by the Ukrainian foreign minister.

Then, totally coincidentally[2] suddenly "SpaceX" had very big corporate concerns about how Starlink was used and also wanted more money from the DoD at a higher commercial rate[3] and...

You know, just a whole pile of totally normal coincidences...

I understand your perspective, but I also want to impress on you that the way you stated it is going to hurt your chances of being heard with a lot of people.

The outside view on this situation is: shit happens to blameless people all the time and they mostly just have to cope, no matter how validly they insist on zero responsibility. The depositors are going to be made whole - starting with a lump sum Monday morning, some decent percentage by the end of the week, and almost all within a month. That’s what’s going to happen. “Make the depositors whole on Monday morning or the whole banking system goes under” is profoundly off-putting. It’s not because the outside view wants you to lose all your money, it’s because it looks like “getting a little back now, enough back soon, and most back eventually“ isn’t enough, you want to get it all back now. The outside view does not buy your claim of contagion because SVB looks like a weird and insular bank for a weird and insular group of buddy-companies, so it feels like you’re cynically doom-mongering to get what you want, and they already think what you want is too much (and especially too quick).

I’m not espousing these views, I’m trying to see all sides and get all sides seen. That’s how outsiders will see it, and they’ll probably be less polite about letting you know too.
If the depositor wasn’t ok with that (presumably public) decision they should have pulled out then. Or pulled out when treasury rates started ticking up and the writing was on the wall. Alternatively, they should have bought private insurance for their money or structured their money in multiple banks.

I doubt it’s 1/5 of all web total purchases on the planet, but either way they’re not the ultimate exchange provider so most of that 3% + 30 cents goes likely to JP Morgan (and then split up amongst others), and they’re always looking for ways to expand their core competencies.

Nothing about that is a “license to print money,” which when we’re talking about banking, sounds like making fiat currency.
I think it was my cats. I am pretty sure they help keep me sane sometimes. Hugely stressful when they're sick and hugely expensive; but they keep me humble, appreciative, and hugging them (_especially_ having them come for hugs on their own) is like an instant shot of happiness.

Thanks for the assist, I don't really know what the answer is so I was hoping someone would iterate on my spike.
Hedge costs money, and the instruments in question were not going to default, given they were government backed, so if they could just hang on until maturity they would get the yield from the day they bought them.
No they don’t require that. I honestly, and I know this will annoy people, shoot jpeg and it’s sharp out of the camera.

As everyone knows, the best possible way to deal with an aggressor is just straight appeasement. The risks are so large that appeasement is the only answer. If only we had historically tried appeasing belligerent foreign powers, think what wars would have been avoided... /sarcasm
People may want to reconsider what a reputation actually is, because it seems SVB was not a good bank despite its reputation. I'm guessing they marketed to dumb money; people who won't look past some marketing and attached names (e.g. Peter Thiel) and assume all is good.

In general, I think more due diligence is needed, even with a good reputation. (e.g. look into lobbying efforts. if they are lobbying for weakened rules, they may be violating/doing something illegitimate already a la FTX).

Enron was reputable, for example. Different situation, i know, but the point is reputation is great, due diligence is better (i don't know what good DD would be in the Enron case, perhaps the fact they pushed a 100% buy in would be one of many red flags, for example).

I do think workers should be paid, btw. However, the c-level team/s that made the choice to bank with SVB aught to lose out because it was their bet that tanked the company (or otherwise hurt it financially).

Tis are my admittedly outside/naïve perspective.

You misunderstood the parent. Not everybody can do whatever they want. But those guys kind if can.
I know my mind is decidedly poisoned when I could follow the type definitions perfectly, and they reminded me of certain types I have written myself… ah, TypeScript, what have you done to me…
Yeah, I don't agree. SVB was so poorly capitalized that any any due diligence whatsoever should have turned up malfeasance - take a look at the JPMorgan note posted here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35120416). If you have billions in assets then you can't demand the government protect you from not diversifying your portfolio by buying into a single asset class. Any halfway competent CEO could have opened a Vanguard Flagship account or JPMorgan Asset Management account or any other account at a large institutional supplier and created a diversified portfolio.

Just holding a 40/60 split of mixed maturity treasury and corporate bonds and Russel 1000 stocks with low transaction fees would be satisfactory for the majority of companies. And for those that are over that limit or feel they need a more diversified exposure they should have hired a competent asset manager.

And many did do those things. Asking to bail out the people who invested millions of dollars without paying financial professionals to make sure that they did it correctly and with competence is punishing those people that did the right thing. We should provide a safety net in this country for the little guy, but if you have 100s of millions of dollars and you're not willing to hire a few people to make sure you're handling your money correctly I don't have that much sympathy.

People were asking the CEO of SVB what his favorite thing to do to relax was in the last earnings call - the answer is bicycle riding.

I get what you're trying to say, but this isn't the correct argument for it. Social precedent relies on people not having any excuses that allow special-casing, which obviously doesn't apply here.
So why does Java close the channel when an "interrupt" happens? I looked at the git-blame of [1] to see if the commit message would explain it, but it's just been there since the first OpenJDK commit in 2007. The only other info I could find by searching for that exception name is [2] but it doesn't elaborate the "IO safety issues". And are these "interrupts" just the underlying syscall returning EINTR or something Java-specific?

Edit: marginalia_nu's and cesarb's comments make sense. Searching for "interruptiblechannel" yields:

https://www.taogenjia.com/2020/07/13/Java-understanding-nio/

>NIO’s designers chose to shut down a channel when a blocked thread is interrupted because they couldn’t find a way to reliably handle interrupted I/O operations in the same manner across operating systems. The only way to guarantee deterministic behavior was to shut down the channel.

Since the interrupts being talked about here are a Java concept, Java would need to interrupt the syscall itself, and it makes sense they chose to close the file since there's no way to do that equally well on all OSes.
Yep. I have a few of them, that I bought specifically because I fell for it. In fairness, they can be configured that way (as an RTSP streaming host that you can directly connect a client to to watch), but the rest of the cloud bullshit stays on unless you firewall it off manually.
Just chiming in as a lawyer who works for a fairly big corporation.

You're imagining a scenario where one set of clearly written and fairly interpreted rules applies to your core business. You're excluding scenarios where there are fifty states and two hundred countries wildly swinging back and forth from idiotic legislation drafted to apply to three companies (Google, Facebook, Amazon) that is impossible to apply to everyone else.

Imo the situation I describe is worthy of belly aching. I don't work in finance so I guess theoretically the US banking system could be easier to comply with than everything else - but I definitely disagree that everything else is easy to comply with.

You could use the same argument for everything.

Small "unless" and you are forced to make all your APIs generic because there might be many clients.
Small "unless" and you'll ignore all power features of your database and dumb-down your approach to data because user might want to switch a database.
Small "unless" and you will make your app ultrascalable even when you have no proof there'll ever be more than 100 users.

This is a disease that makes development slower and more expensive even when 95% of time, the customer needed something fast and cheap. No, most devs aren't building another GMail, most devs are building something that could have been modelled in 2 weeks in Visual FoxPro 25 years ago.
Why would my explanation read as absolving them of responsibility? The folks running the bank are professional bankers. They took a position that massively exposed them to interest rate risk and market cycle risk (when all of their clients are concentrated in a single industry!). As I said, they'd have been fine if they didn't need to cash in on those bonds or if interest rates stayed low. Making that assumption that they wouldn't need to sell (i.e. deposits would keep coming in) was obviously very stupid and failing to hedge interest rate risk (when high interest rates might directly lead to lower deposits because of the vc/startup client base!) is an even higher level of stupid that led to the whole thing collapsing in 48 hours. That doesn't invalidate that the bonds are still good/they have assets greater than deposits (though obvioust rhere could be fraud/devaluation when they try to sell) and that the FDIC has a pretty good chance of getting most people's money back (eventually, hopefully).
I doubt it. Part of the point of the exercise is to calm the rest of the banking market. Letting an inexperienced (re banking) company take over will increase the uncertainty.

A Google Doc ID (or Drive/Sheets/Slides) is a single identifier which denotes a resource in the cloud. It is a name; it is not intended as a secret. "Anyone with the Link" really means anyone. In fact, I would say that "Anyone with the Link" access modes are a hack and a workaround for people who do not have Google accounts. If you rely on privacy, use Google accounts.

So if you created a secret, clandestine, world-readable, anyone-comments, blog post with the slug "http://example.com/correct-horse-battery-staple/" would you really complain when someone brute-force or outright guessed your blog post?

YouTube has "unlisted" videos which are unsearchable and unreachable unless you've been shared a link, but do people freak out when someone stumbles across this shared by others?

Just because a Google Workspaces ID is a long, jumbled-up, base-64 string doesn't mean it is a password or a cryptographically secure secret. It's quite different. It's meant to be well-known by anyone who is intended to have access. The "Anyone with the Link" access simply relies on a circle of friends/colleagues keeping the URL to themselves.

It's more than not seeing a benefit, there's many parts of the US where people rightly or wrongly blame tech salaries plus remote work for pricing them out of being able to afford a home and other basic life necessities. Of course the situation is more nuanced than that in reality but tech workers have a tendency to show up in once reasonably priced areas, buy up houses for cash and drive around in fancy luxury cars, which doesn't help the perception.
There's also a perception that much of this money is coming via proximity to wealthy financiers and 15 years of ZIRP rather than true hard work.
Apple had $51bn in cash at the end of 2022. They could easily raise whatever additional funds needed to submit a winning bid. But I don't see them wanting to own a bank.
