No. I'm not talking about having infield knowledge or references. Granted my master is in a different field but I spent several years at university with the subject and fitting read one course titled History of Science due to a childhood dream of becoming an archaeologist. I don't recommend it, the job market is close to nonexistent. I'm talking about the political narrative that the authors history revisionism is resting on. You need to be a believer before reading the article to believe it.

And this is why privacy matters, even if you think you have nothing to hide. There's no telling what someone else is going to have a problem with, no way to know if the data being sold about you is accurate or how it will be used against you, and no way to remove whatever data is out there or keep others from weaponizing it.

They went after sexual orientation this time, but the next time some group makes headlines because they decide to take advantage of the pervasive surveillance we all live under, it could just as easily be targeting our political views, our religion, our hobbies, our ancestry, our medial conditions, etc. More and more often people are going to buy up, collect, or steal data on whoever they don't like so they can subject them to harassment/abuse/violence/discrimination.

There's a multi-billion dollar a year industry around the buying and selling of even the most mundane aspects of our lives and it's sure not just for "ads".

ASML is a geo-political play.

When the Chinese will be able to duplicate what ASML is doing its share price will go back to "normal", i.e. to 8 to 10 times less what it is today (that was the level until relatively recently).
You are absolutely right.

The distinction between insolvency and illiquidity is a red herring. People who have to sell their house in foreclosure will be discovering the exact thing you are describing here.

What's happening here is SVB is big enough that the authorities go "aaaaah, wait a second, this could blow up a bunch of other businesses and we wouldn't want that". And so they are taking the illiquidity interpretation and helping out the depositors, but at least they are not helping the shareholders.

One thing that may be a bit different in the case of a bank is that the general public does not know or consider deposits to be a loan to a bank. Which is what it is, but people don't think of it this way, and the aren't encouraged to either thanks to FDIC and other state level guarantees. If we change that by letting the depositors lose money, there's going to be chaos.
Siemens is still huge in all sorts of markets not readily visible to the general public: electricity generation and transmission, industrial automation, medical equipment, rolling stock (trains etc), and much more.

It's material here because the reason Tbills are paying 5% is because inflation is roughly 6.5%. (I used a fixed inflation rate of 3% to get 74% above.) Usually they're down at like 0.05% or so, which is what SVB was holding, which is what sank them.
Some people even include Japan and Korea in "the West". Unqualified, it's an ambiguous term.

From my experience Kotlin's null handling works better than these external tools. Another point is that also the APIs need some support for it, to be convenient. Kotlin has methods like mapNotNull for example.

Read the parent comment: it states printing money is not inflation. The author either is being disingenuous or doesn’t understand how inflation works.
You can't just add up future value and current value of things. The future value is in future dollars, they are different from current dollars. You owe depositors their current dollars.
The Java compiler “sucks” (not the language) because it’s not making optimisations that are safe and a human could do themselves fairly simply.

Rust has an interesting optimization for Option<T> when T has enough "room" for encoding a marker for "None": https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/std/box-niche.ht...

e.g. Option<NonZeroU64> is effectively encoded and operated on as u64, but it gives the type system a way to make sure you correctly handle the case where "0" means something special for you
The second Emacs was written for the Lisp Machine by Daniel Weinreb. There the whole editor was written and extended in the same language (Lisp Machine Lisp) in the same environment. There it did not have a separate macro language.

It’s not material.

What matters is that principal is returned in full when bonds mature, but if you can’t wait until maturity you might have to sell them for less than the principal. That is exactly what happened to SVB.

Are they talking about short sellers talking up the bank run, or just companies that withdrew funds so they could pay their employees?
Thank you, very good point of view, this was exactly what I was looking for on HN!
I was wondering whether to buy it but for some pseudocasual generative music and some suggestion I don't think it's the best.
Rust doesn't have optionals built-in. The language has no special support for them (beyond the try operator); just like Java, Rust's optional type is provided by the standard library, but it could be trivially implemented yourself and your implementation would have the same behaviour and performance characteristics. It's literally just:

enum Option<T> {
Some(T),
None,
}

What makes Rust fast here is that it has value types and can optimise them.
As far as I remember from a post of Brian Goetz changing the existing Optional type is exactly the plan! So, Optional will become a zero-cost abstraction™ in Java.

It actually does; support for async io has been there for ages. If you've ever compiled or run git push or run an external command like M-! sleep 10 & RET from Emacs, that's using async io. For things that end up calling an external command like that, the code will typically use `start-process` or `make-process`. For network io, there is `url-retrieve` with callbacks. For tasks that need to be run via emacs-lisp (e.g. sending emails, compiling elisp), there is John Wiegley's `async` library.

However, lots of packages simply don't use these affordances.

Also, for LSP, there's additional challenges since lots of json needs parsing for each request, but IIUC Emacs can't currently process the messages to/from the server while the UI thread is busy (the LSP server can do lots of work while UI is busy, but the communication is stalled until UI is done). Though it seems things will be improving there, hopefully this'll get upstreamed soon: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/ymrkyn/async_nonbloc...
No, normal bitcoin. It doesn't take much to be less risky than "you might have all of it frozen at any time by factors wholly outside of your control".

Or Ether. Or DAI. Or USDC if that's your risk appetite (the diversification of the storage of which is abstracted away already, as you will note it has regained its peg before SVB even reopened under FDIC management). Or a lot of other choices that present themselves.

If you have 50 billion in reserves, isn't it easier (and possibly cheaper) to have your own bank? Maybe someone can chime in why that isn't feasible.
Wiser words unlikely to be said. My wife wants the utensils up, they are up. I’m trainable and willingly adaptable.

Ironically, I recently got into a merge sort discussion with her regarding how to load utensils. Sorting on load reduced unload time, she got it but didn’t care for the detour in time complexity. She just gave me a snide look at that part.
you don't see the govt support that kick started all of the inflation and following rate hikes. I agree with the sentiment, however we can't thumb our ears to the facts that the govt HAS taken extraordinary measures to prop up the non-taxed fraction, at the expense of the middle class this decade

Rich. It means rich. Before Japan in the 80s it also meant white.
> Emacs is an app platform for client-side applications.

Yes, exactly. That app platform provided a system-independent UI for text- and editor-based apps.

But I would think that even in the 80s/90s there were a bunch of other examples for app platforms.
Hush. Now is not the time. Our thoughts should not be distracted by politics but be with the victims of this horrible event.

> it has created a huge moral hazard by signaling that the $250,000 FDIC limit on deposit insurance does not exist in practice. The clear signal it sends is that when financial institutions make poor decisions, the government will swoop in to clean up the mess.

It sounds like they have swooped in to protect customers and give owners/shareholders the boot. Isn't this a sign that future banks can't be reckless without consequence?

While I agree in principle, this is a bad example. They are homosexuals who are members of a homophobe group, obviously they do have something to hide.
It's not a multi-billion company, it a bank that has billions of loans and deposits (assets and liabilities). Yes, its a profitable bank but on order of magitude lower scale:

It reminds me of my time as an undergrad in a quantum chemistry lab. I had something like 150 calculations to run (about 4h each) and therefore could only submit them to the "small" calculation queue (for jobs less than a day).

The problem was that it was essentially always used at the maximum because most people had such small jobs to run + other queues were not as efficient. Because of the inner "fighting", the HPC admin essentially blocked the possibility to have jobs pending. So first come first serve.

So basically I've set up a cron job to look prepare my jobs and look for empty slots during the night. I remember looking at results in the morning while sipping on coffee and the head of the lab congratulating me for my "dedication" as she saw I submitted jobs at 3AM!! :)

At the end of the internship, I basically had a script "assistant" that I would use to prepare the calculation jobs, unite them so I could use them on "bigger" queues, do most of the post-calculation analysis (essentially producing CSVs and graph for me).

And I am too, chasing that high to this day.
that worst case sounds pretty worse? there's already inherent risks, why would anyone want that
Great play by HSBC. It's very interesting because some banks will make out very nicely in the comming weeks and some will be dragged down a lot by the general pull of the market. HSBC already found some "free money" right away. I think at least one of the big US banks will also print some money (I'd bet on JPM).
Rolling around in money is better than not even having money to pay employees.
Yes, however there are a couple of spin-offs and rearrangements that happen before the "main company" failing

Even in the case of Philips it spun off NXP (which is not going great neither to be fair), ASML, Signify (lightning business etc)

Siemens also dug their own hole in severe mismanagement ("old people" running the show) and I think there's not much more left there

False on both counts!!!

First, divorce is a one-and-done sin. Someone who finalizes a divorce and confesses it is in a state of grace, much as someone who ate steak last Friday and confessed.it.

Now, a laicized priest is in no sin either, unless he attempts to hold himself out as a priest still. A man with a rescript from the Holy See is typically freed from all obligations of the clerical state, and that can and will often include celibacy, so a laicized priest is perfectly eligible for marriage, and perhaps a really good catch.
Well, your considered position of "these wouldn't be problems if I weren't in an office, but if they occur in an office the only reasonable response is to FLIP OUT" is not especially convincing to me.
I consider Emacs a framework for building (primarily) text-based applications. By default it comes with multiple applications, lots of building blocks and a very rich API.
Doesn't that behaviour make this specific "Catholic Laity and Clergy for Renewal" group a "hate group"?

So it should be possible to outlaw them, throw their members in jail, and so on?

RSS client apps can still connect to managed services, so not sure what you are talking about.

In my case I'm using Reeder and it's just talking to the Miniflux server. So the server keeps all feeds refreshed all the time and the client app just fetches them from there. Just like Email being fetched from the server over IMAP.
That's like those objected-oriented programming examples you get in college, from professors who learned in the 90s and literally think in terms of "modelling" real objects with OOP.
Interesting.

This article resonate in me with the recent articles of Casey Muratori about non-pessimistic code:

Within the realm of the module, don't use pessimistic code (avoid Boxing) _but_ that doesn't prevent you to provide a safe API. E.g. the result of the loop could be wrapped if that made sense.
Market cap is, IMHO, not the best measure so. Revenue or market share seems a bit better. As an example, Japanese companies used to have huge market caps in the 90s, today not so much. Those companies still exist so, and are quite large players in their fields.

And to be honest, Google is more ad-tech then anything else, Netflix is entertainment. Amazon is, depending on how you measure it, 50% retail / logistics and 50% AWS. Which leaves MS and Apple as true tech companies, while Facebook is social media.

Retail, as in eCommerce, was ground breaking tech when Amazon started. Today, comparable tech is available from vendors like Shopify (web shops) and WiseTech (logistics and fulfillment). Social media was ground breaking when Facebook and MySpace came along, now it is more about selling ads then anything else. Streaming was ground breaking when YouTube and Netflix came around, now there are countless streaming services. And some of the older ones, looking at you Amazon, resembles traditional TV a lot. After all they sell ads now between streaming (FreeVee or what's it called) and broadcast new episodes on specific days, looking at you Amazon and Disney.
These people are as bad as those who post revenge porn online. Their activities would be illegal in Europe and should be illegal everywhere.
But before becoming priest there is a quite long training program (often 5-6 years). Dropping out of it is quite common.

And even after becoming a priest, they can asked to be relieved for their obligations, including celibacy. But in this case they would have to find an other job.

Getting laid off soon, so I still have a few months to look for a job.
I work in a somewhat niche field (search / information retrieval) and wanting to stay in that limits my options heavily.

Things are looking very very grim, even compared to how the market looked to me a few months back.
Do you actually believe that homosexual men have more access to children than heterosexual men and that they are more prone to pedophilia? Why don't you think about this logically. Even if they overrepresented pedophiles by say 50% compared to hetero men and hetero men are 1% pedophiles, than means as 10% of the population you are looking at 0.5 * 0.1 = = 0.05 = 0.5%. Now say that homosexuals don't usually have access to children like men who have families do, but lets be generous and say that 50% of those men get unsupervised access to children and are practicing child molesters. That makes 0.25% of the population.

Let's compare that to hetero men. At 90% of male population and 1% pedos that makes 0.9% of the population. Now, straight men have easier access to kids because, what do you know, they tend to help make them. So, lets say 75% even on the low side here makes 0.675% of active child molesters.

0.25% of men vs 0.675% of men. You really believe that your stats are correct?

These are all bullshit napkin math but illustrate how this makes no logical sense, even with numbers HIGHLY skewed in your favor.
Does anyone think they know the cause?
Rational thought is like mathematics: it makes no difference between the real world and hypothetical worlds. If you feed garbage in, you get garbage out. Like communism, Holodomor, and the Great Leap Forward. Those are good examples of what the humanity has achieved with rational thought.

If anything, modern science is less about rationalism and more about empiricism than what came before. It's less about thinking and more about doing; less about explaining and more about ruling out explanations.
In a more perfect world, I totally agree. But with American average savings so low and with the average level of financial literacy so low, expecting half of America to join the ranks of financial system watchmen is, IMHO, a tough hill to climb.

Ask HN: Why aren’t we trolling bankers for screwing up SVB?
If you need to pay someone now, the fact that in X years you have the money creates costs - whether the bonds pay 100% or not at maturity doesn't really matter, only the current MtM matters for money now as opposed to money in the future.

You can believe that this was a long-running conspiracy or you can believe that the people involved are incompetent screwups, but how can you believe both? Someone would have talked.

Do you honestly believe that people with “skin in the game” aren’t being hurt by this? SVB shareholders lost everything.

Do you also honestly believe that you can restrict the fallout of a banking system failure only to those who caused it?
Will it create a problem where depositors will be less discriminating when it comes to banks because they think the FDIC limit doesn't apply?
