I've gone where you are too. To SPA and back again.

The truth is solution is in the middle. Hotwire/Liveview type.

This way you can have the performance and simplicity of Go with the reactivity of SPA and the SEO should you need it, I know, internal tools.

The only package to my knowledge in Go doing this is "Kyoto" but it's far far away from being proper or in a easily usable state.

If anyone knows any other Go packages that do hot/liveview please, I'm all ears.
So I see Ally may be at risk too, great I have savings there...

Pretty scary to go from thinking you have a safe emergency fund regardless of the market to a potential bank run seemingly overnight.

Wondering what tomorrow will look like and how many people are wait to transfer funds out of any at risk bank.
I didn't say totally whole, i said largely whole. Everyone will get at least 250K, and then probably something like 75-85% of what ever else they had relatively quickly and then who knows.
But apparently only insufferable pedants care about clarity. That's why we should stop using those pointless number glyphs too and just write them out in unary using hyphens. -/------------------------- is just fine.
Good. Investors like Ackman and Cuban seem so concerned about payroll for tech workers.

The truth is that the vast majority of this cash was dry powder for acquisitions, staying liquid for new new investments, fresh VC money for advertising.

Isn’t it these same folks who remind us all the time that most startups fail? Why bail out an entire bank when 99% of its startup depositors wouldn’t have made it anyway?

If anything, taxpayers should be able to sit at the front of a new cap table with preferred position, like any other entity providing a bridge. But at that idea, I am sure they’d warn of government interference.
Everyone complaining about pedantry here, while I'm thinking this doesn't go nearly far enough. I'd like to propose that all punctuation marks should come in minutely different sizes with different meanings, not just the various dashes.

Take the full stop. There should be a second version that's about .25 pts larger and means an emphatic full stop (not to be confused with a bold full stop, of course. That would be dumb). But why stop there? Let's add another one that's raised a tiny fraction from the baseline. About 0.1 pts should do it. This one should mean a shorter pause, somewhere between a full stop and a comma.

And anyone who can't discern the difference, such as dyslexics and the short sighted, should be publicly whipped and forced to wear a hat off shame for a week. The hats, of course, being very slightly different shades of grey depending on which incorrect punctuation mark they used.
Define 'cost'. If losing faith in the banking system gets people to disinvest and hoard under their mattress do you count that as 'no cost'?
> We need to stop what we're doing and actually work with the ecologies we have to produce enough food for everyone.

This is that. Dairy cows can’t “scale” to meet a population like ours that keeps growing. They’re enormously inefficient. Agriculture has always been an exercise in optimising to feed growing populations, like when farmers grafted different variations of plant/fruit together to create hybrids. At the time you’d have easily described that as creating a Frankenstein monster. Today we’re just using more advanced tools.
If this is so important why not just add a widget to your desktop next to the clock. Why create a whole new device? I like the fun nature of building kits like this though.

Again, false dichotomies. I only said capitalism allows for concentration of wealth, and therefore power. I said nothing about other systems.

And I spoke about the US specifically because capitalism is implemented differently in different countries. More on this in my responses to your siblings.

It's definitely a matter of the way you've read my post. You're inferring a lot of stuff I didn't say, which doesn't logically follow from what I did say.

As for the edit, I'm just testing a psychological pet theory of mine.
I’m inclined to agree, this kind of special treatment is fairly ridiculous, depositors in other bank failures with funds over FDIC limits have to wait for fire sales to recover, which can take years in some cases.

I’m not sure exactly what Yellen is proposing (I only subscribe to print FT so no access), but it seems like special treatment for the well connected on Sandhill Road.

Lots of sites just turned off after a given amount of load and you would have to try again later, usually the following day. I think that is an appropriate trade off. It is one reason why mirror sites popped up.
So when do we find out if loads of startups are going bust or not?
The work that made Hubble famous was built on a slightly earlier discovery by Henrietta Leavitt that variable stars had a relationship between their absolute brightness and their period[0]. These were the early "standard candles" that Hubble used to start sorting out distances to objects within our galaxy and when he first realized that the Andromeda Galaxy is not local to us, but its own separate galaxy. Things have gotten on a lot since then, but the basics of how it was done are extremely approachable, astronomy 101 stuff.

4 : milk from a cow or other domestic animal (such as a goat)

also : food (such as ice cream, cheese, or yogurt) made primarily of or from milk

--------------

Dairy specifically means and implies a cow (or similar domestic animal) as the origin of the food product. Where it comes from is just as important as what it is, if not more.

Thus I reiterate: You can't have dairy with no cow.

If you are interested in an actual “window into the medieval mind”, I have found none better than C.S. Lewis’s little-known book “The Discarded Image”. It is well-sourced, comprehensive, crunchy, and extremely readable. https://portalconservador.com/livros/C-S-Lewis-The-Discarded...
Not just rap music. People have been jailed for making fun of the monarchy or popular footballers. They are DESPERATELY looking for reasons to justify mass monitoring and censorship, and this is no doubt part of it, just as the "protecting the children" spiel they have is.

I find it particularly sickening that somebody saying "You're an idiot" to some self appointed info janitor is being put in the same category as being raped, having your family kidnapped or being murdered. You know, the actual violence that affects real female journalists across the world.
> granting any permission at all to "Anyone who has this link" is, in the end, security through obscurity.

That's like saying passwords are "security through obscurity" because they're also "obscure" random strings, just like URLs.

To try and make my point more clear:

Basic auth password url: https://username:randomSecurePassword@webpage.com

Google docs edit url: https://docs.google.com/randomLongString/edit

How are those two things different, other than one is a password which might be short and insecure, and the other has plenty of entropy? Will you also argue that all shared secrets are security by obscurity?
Ngrok is just one company tho, there are thousands of ways. Wireguard or nebula can be selfhosted and another server with an actual port open will forward traffic. People can use SSH's reverse port forwarding too.

Or you can use cloudflared or another one of ngrok's competitors.
Thanks a lot for linking Polygonjs here! I assume it might be a follow up to my tweet yesterday announcing new CAD modelling nodes [0].

For context, Polygonjs is a design & animation tool for WebGL. It is based on the popular threejs library, and allows artists and designers to create interactive experiences without any coding. It's is also procedural and node-based, which means everything is created by linking nodes together. Your scenes are then fully procedural, you can always go back at any node and tweak things and see your changes propagate. It's great to experiment.

There are several examples scenes you can start from [1]. Those shows how to setup basic or custom material, procedural geometry, particles, raymarching, states & events, computer vision. There are examples for every taste, and more to come.

Even though the visual editor is not open source, the core library is [2]. So if you are a coder and would like to add nodes to your projects, you can perfectly do so, via the plugin system [3]

It is inspired by visual effects tools like Houdini and Nuke, which I've used for years when working in films like Gravity, Avatar and The Martian. One of my goals is to bring the power of those tools to the web.

Finally, this is all from bootstrapped effort, I'm not a funded company, so I'll take all the support and love you're happy to send my way! While the app is free to use for unlimited time, I encourage you to purchase a license, it's a lifetime one with 12 months upgrade (similar to jetbrains IDE) and you'll always own your files. There's no tracking (except for one license check when the app starts), no lock-in. And it's currently at a reduced price.

This sounds incredibly hard to believe, unless your concern is that advertisers will poison the well.
Define costs, specifically. What are the 'costs' of ensuring that depositors have their money, while taking over long-term SVB investments that the government can wait out? What are the 'costs' of tens of thousands of job losses? What are the specific 'costs' of significant centralization of banking, as any new VC would immediately require a start-up to move it's money to JPM or GS?

Nice try to transform the US government into a VC of last resort. We should be reminded that 90% of startups fail.

Yes, in the case of large retail banks, the government did help. In 2008, the federal government purchased stock in several banks in order to recapitalize them. One could argue this was a starker example of moral hazard than letting the bank fail, but making depositors whole.
Not at all. Miss one bus, catch the next one. There's far more demand for engineers than the current supply. I don't see it being any different in the forceable future
If the super long string on a Google doc is “security through obscurity”, so are passwords, 2FA codes, and ssh keys.
Because there was a systemic risks.

You let one bank collapse, OK. If the collapse causes other banks to collapse then it's bad. When WalMart, Costco can't transfer money to fill shelves, people go hungry. When people can't get their wages, they go hungry.
And the article also says he complains about paywalls. I don’t have a problem with paywalls. I like the plain simple model of “I pay you money and you give me goods and services”.

And now we're getting to the actual root of the problem.
I didn't say an LLM is as intelligent as humans.

I'm saying that human intelligence isn't some mystic process above replication or emulation ... and that if an LLM-type computation can do what it does now I see not reason it can't match or surpass human intelligence in the future.

It may produce that intelligence in a different way to our organic squishglobes but I don't see that it matters.
And if you take the process to its conclusion people will say we’re tired of doing all this accounting all the time, let’s hire a specialized person to do that - and you’ll end up with a company accountant.
After that they’ll say he we should standardize the accounting process over different organizations and end up where we are now
Well and it's not just that they had money over the insured amount in a bank. It's that they had ALL of their money in ONE bank. If they had $500K in three different banks instead of $1.5M in one bank, there would still be a risk, but it would be that they'd lose $250K if any of those three banks failed, not that they'd lose $1.25M if one particular bank failed.

(And obviously actual losses are gonna be like 20% here, not 100%, but you get the picture).
Just to add that that only works for specific types of stars that have regular pulsations. It can be used to infer distances to other types of stars if you have good cause to think that the pulsating star is in the same place as the other stars. This works for clusters and stellar associations, but not for the "field" stars in the galaxy.

SVB successfully lobbied Congress to get bank safety rules weakened for their operation, on the grounds that it would hurt the economy if they were regulated like other banks.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/mar/11/silicon-val...

My guess is YC agreed with this. Then when it blows up, YC lobbies for everyone to come to SVB's rescue or it would hurt the economy.

No thanks. "It would hurt the economy too much" is getting as old as "we need to monitor everything because of child porn".

That money would not have made huge returns anymore than medicare does.

We _do_ gain from bailing them out - we tax them. We do not put business owners in jail for losing the risk game.

There are plenty of corrupt governments that do the sort of things you are suggesting, such as Russia. They are not considered effective economies and their corruption ruins their ability to be functional.

> they don’t have enough assets to make depositors whole.

They do, if their assets get acquired by other banks who also invest in long term bonds, says at a discount?
Why do projects that are meant to be lightweight use Postgres instead of SQLite? The latter is much easier to deploy (you, well, just don't need to), and does 99% of what anyone needs, and definitely 100% of what small projects need.
Capitalism taken to it's natural conclusion, is ruining society (and the planet).

The older I get, the more apparent and obvious this seems to me. I might be just getting disillusioned with what seems to be a worse planet for the next generation. It's easy to point the finger at what is wrong and provide no alternative. I'm not sure there is one, that is realistic. Though some things should perhaps help counter the negative sides:

- Stronger regulation (it's almost never that company profits are in line with the common good, or preservation of nature or natural resources). To even the playing field, all must act within the regulated boundaries of what is sustainable. If you cannot, well... good riddance?

- Much stronger focus on education. If we are being political for a second, just consider what US politics looks like to an outsider. The choice is between "well, maybe we should go in a direction of less shit. It's still largely shit, but, less" vs "More shit please! As long as it annoys the opposing 'team', fuck'em!". And the polls end up like around 50/50. Lack of education, and a Murdoc media seems to be the main culprit of this phenomenon. That, and to some, but much less extent, foreign influence (just imagine the field day opponents of the US are having when half the voting population end up wanting more shit).

- Automation w/redistribution of wealth, likely only possible by force (like, if you are in the 0.01%, you can remove 99.9% of your accrued wealth and still live better than any king in human history).

Anyways, maybe one day all of this becomes "common sense" rather than a political statement. If I were to make a bet, it would be that it becomes too little, too late, and we are in for a century of wars and dystopian famine. shrug

As I said in reply to another comment that suggested that you'd lose 50% or require 2x the space:

A typical 'cubicle' has a wide desk and space to move you chair in and out of, plus a 'corridor' between all the cubicles. Change cubicle walls to office walls and have doors open into the existing corridor, and it's no different in size. Building codes might require some changes but I don't think it will anywhere near as much as 2x.

The literature (Spolsky lists it one of his articles) implies that increased productivity of the existing employees in their own offices more than compensates for the slight decrease in the number of people you can pack into a fixed area.

The difference with start-ups vs non-start-ups, is that in that first 6-12 months, it is typically a small group of people completely focused on getting the business up and running, and writing greenfield code. My point is that the environment, both the physical open plan office, and the 'coding environment' are totally different it's quite dynamic for start ups where it's just getting new code up and running and iterating quickly on ideas, vs. much more 'static' when the company has an existing product and code base.
We have oscillated back and forth with each being the exciting new solution for what sucks about the other for decades, though. This is just the latest swing of the pendulum to one or the other.

I guess they are round now, maybe that was the one missing ingredient that means we will be on cubicles forever and everyone will finally understand why they are better?
I can't seem to find it now, but either here or on reddit someone had numbers from a filling indicating ~8% of accounts were below 250k.
While I have no love for what has become "big tech", this really has nothing to do with their indiscretion or bad behaviour.

SVB was a financial institution outside of that sector which catered to that class of customer and regrettably took on risks that made them exceptionally vulnerable to interest rate increases. Add that with their clients mostly having uninsured deposits and belonging to one industry, and we're in this mess.

Im not sure how this is evidence of a tech or vc pyramid scheme, it's just a regrettable series of choices by a financial institution.
> In this particular case, if I put basic cash into a basic deposit account that's not designed to give me high yield or differentiated exposure or whatever, then I want regulations and a system to make it so.

If all a company has to do is check the boxes of regulators (which they're good at) and now there is a guarantee that nothing else needs to be done since the bailout is all but explicit. You don't care as a customer. The business doesn't care since it's following the rules. And every decade or so we have a bailout.

Remember that these industries are heavily regulated. And those regulations are always insufficient. Triple A CDO-squared were treated to be as safe as cash according to regulations when they ended up being worth closer to 30 cents to the dollar
As soon as a loan is disbursed, it literally becomes the money of the borrower.

There's no effective difference. Only the terms are different. Although if your student loan debt is large enough, you may in fact be signing over a percentage of all future earnings for the rest of your life. One of the biggest growing groups of student loan debtors is senior citizens.

Both a loan and VC funding are legal relationships between someone who lacks money and someone who has money. It's a trade of current money for future money. Of course it's always a risk, because the future money may never show up: the debtor defaults, or the startup goes out of business. Plenty of startups die for reasons that have nothing to do with bank failure.

(Note also that a loan holder cannot simply repossess the money if the loan is in default. The disbursed money is no longer theirs. At worst, the loan holder can sue to have the debtor's wages garnished by a certain %, maximum 15% for federal student loans.)

Agreed it’s very HN. But it’s not just bad. Hackers are usually hard-wired to reduce entropy—we’re quick to point out when something is redundant or unnecessarily ambiguous. Formalia is also used for gatekeeping, which the HN Zeitgeist doesn’t like.

That said, personally I need my different dashes, commas and parentheses for my excessive wavering.
