I mean, isn't it obviously true that, in hindsight, every tightening cycle for the last 40 years has ended in the Fed going a little too far, whoops? That's not to say there weren't underlying problems with the economy and financial sector, but the Fed manifestly never knows where to stop.

Populist criticism of the Fed cannot identify the point that is "too far", but surely like a stopped clock they eventually have to be right.

Isn't an inverted yield curve a warning signal that can't be dismissed as economically illiterate populism?

I'm not sure what you're exactly arguing for here. I agree that "mark to market" might be non-trivial to calculate (although that's questionable for MBS, which are bond-like instruments that you can calculate the market value of based on current interest rates), and that regulations allowed their balance sheets to deviate from the actual market value (ie. ground truth). However, that doesn't change the fact that to "the average depositor", there's a material difference between being worth more than your liabilities and being worth less than your liabilities.
Yes. And kids now commit less crime, drink less alcohol, smoke less cigarettes, get better education and get injured with lifetime consequences less often.

Even teenage birth rates are now much lower then in the 50ties.

Stories I’ve heard lately are that the meat packing industry has been steadily slipping back on safety by repeatedly lobbying for and winning the right to run plants faster and faster, which has increased injury rates.

John Oliver covered this two years ago:

What's toxic about it? Negative, sure, but it's not toxic to make a substantiated negative comment.
The government and its institutions (The Fed) had a big part in this though. They flooded the market with cash, sold a bunch of bonds with low interest rates (lowest ever) to tons of banks that had to figure out how to manage that cash and did so by buying “the safest investment”, and then that same institution jacked up interest rates to the highest in 20 years over the course of 10 months.

So no, if the government and the fed would actually let the market set interest rates then this doesn’t happen. If the UST had to sell bonds at the real market rate for them then this doesn’t happen.
You had a legal, regulated job. No problem there.

Now imagine if they didn't have to pay you as much as you were paid, if they didn't have to keep you safe, if you were responsible for injuries on the job, or if you were working in a meat-packing plant where injuries like lost fingers are relatively common.

I don't think anyone is arguing that teenagers should not be allowed to work, but rather that they, like all workers, should be offered protections and reasonable wages if they do choose to work.

Not sure about Render, but the others you mention do not appear to be wholistic. They either focus on the frontend exclusively, or are intended for development, not production use cases.

What about your data layer? You need something that provides that and my guess is that will drive your decision about what platform you choose more than anything else. That, and cost.
I have a hard time believing a business can't simply open a second checking account somewhere, assuming they have the cash and don't need any extra features. Maybe if it was a very early company. VCs and advisors failed their companies if this was their only advice.

Also "safest thing since last week" isn't super convincing! Maybe I'm just more conservative since I used to bank with Wachovia which failed in 2008.

As an engineer I am expected to have a disaster recovery plan. Sure it's unlikely that AWS goes out of business, but what if we lose access? Lose data? Ransomware? Businesses need to have some basic planning around this kind of stuff or else they run this type of risk unfortunately.

OK, but one of the whole points of why you take venture money is to leverage experience and best practices. Our VCs introduced our bankers and suggested things we should do.
I’m too fatigued right now to pull up my prior posts on the subject with compelling references but the linked article links survey research that says the same thing. BMI alone is a poor measure but when coupled with physical fitness and activity metabolically healthy overweight and obese type 1 tend to have similar health outcomes to physically fit and active normal BMI. The key is physical activity and fitness are key to health, and likely at some physical threshold aggregate size of body drags it down no matter what (inclusive of athletes with huge frames). BMI is a quicker to compute metric than metabolic and cardiovascular health, easier to measure in a doctors office than factoring reported physical activity, and therefore is probably a decent medical tool for providing advice. But the advice is going to be eat healthy and exercise no matter what the BMI is. So maybe BMI isn’t specifically useful, so maybe instead of telling an overweight person they’re fat (they probably knew) and therefore should exercise and eat healthy, likewise telling everyone else the same advice, just skip the “you’re fat” and give everyone the same advice as already happens. I don’t think anyone is surprised by “get fit eat right” is good medical advice.

Edit: as to why, I know a lot of obese folks that avoid their doctors because they feel harangued about being over weight. They know they’re fat and they’ve likely been working on it for some time, and the “you’re fat” + axiomatic health advice isn’t helping them vs simply axiomatic health advice. Psychologically it’s shaming, and shame is a powerful force in human psychology. Whether “you’re fat” is reducing their long term health or not is irrelevant since the advice is the same regardless, and it drives them away from their doctors from their shame. That’s not useful, and I’d hope utility is more important than reinforcing axiomatic medical advice with shaming. I know everyone will say “who cares if they’re ashamed it’s a fact,” but who cares in this is their doctor and the patient. That should have primacy over all.

Yes, I 100% agree with you, and that action is literally anything else than letting kids join the labour pool. If the market is so skewed that you can't make ends meet with 2 full time jobs, it's time for protest, for civil disobedience, for revolution. Letting kids work is a very temporary patch on the shitty situation - in few years even that won't be enough, then what? We bring company town back? You have a house and food provided as long as you work for corporation X, except you can never leave until you're dead? Because that's where this kind of thinking leads to - we allow our working conditions worsen not because of some objective market conditions - but because the mega corporations demand it. It's not even about the elites or 1% - it's about pure unadulterated capitalism.

For some reason I never liked to do it the "right way". First of all it doesn't seem to actually matter.

But most of all the cat way just aligns with my mental model more. Data flows left to right, if you catch my drift.

Yeah, the lesson for SpaceX certainly has been that no good deed goes unpunished.

Instead of assuming that everyone will act in good faith, they'll just have to assume everyone's like you and turn down future public requests for emergency aid until they have everything down on paper. Of course then you'll be complaining about the rich/big companies not helping anyone.

> Banks that may be otherwise solvent may become insolvent because of a domino risk of bank runs.

That to me implies the bank was never solvent in the first place. You could have easily created a bank that is always solvent, see the case of The Narrow Bank, but the Fed wouldn't allow it.

I don't think the cost is that significant for Musk, but surely if the DoD was paying for it, then that would shift enough responsibility away from SpaceX.
Yup the government isn't spending tens of billions to bail out a bank with "Silicon Valley" in its title. Supporting it is an instant election loss for any politician on either side of the aisle.
what kind of due diligence are you imagining that I, a depositor with under 250k should / am doing on a bank? What do you believe, I, as a single depositor of 250k CAN DO to audit a bank or otherwise make sure it's safe for my deposit?
The parent already acknowledges that: "On one hand you have to represent your current population, and with the majority of Americans overweight or obese, that's who your customers are."

The question is about whether this is normalizing an unhealthy disease, which your comment does not respond to.
Here’s your refutation: many of these results confound pre omicron Covid with omicron Covid - the former was 10-100x deadlier, and totally warranted global mandating of the vaccines even with the published SAR rates. After omicron, it is absolutely true that the adverse reaction rate from mRNA vaccines might not be worth the benefit of avoiding the relatively less fatal omicron variant diseases for young individuals.

I will agree that regulatory agencies and many pro vaccine arguments are doing a disservice by not being thorough about such distinctions. That doesn’t mean the choices made pre omicron were invalidated. The mRNA vaccines did a great job and did them in time to protect millions more lives from being lost.

I think people mostly just ignored the risk.

Venture capitalists provide banking advice to the companies they fund, and this isn't on the list of things most mention. Now we're reminded why it's a best practice.

I think it's hubris to think that you can have tens of millions of dollars and can ignore vital things with it (account security, systemic risk from counterparties, etc).
Absolutely. The only major feature of iTerm2 that I use over the Apple Terminal feature set is the tmux integration, so that my tabs can exist on my server and my terminal is more of a thin-client.

I remember reading credit unions were significantly less likely to go bankrupt than banks during the 2008 meltdown. In fact:

> From 2008 through 2012, 481 FDIC insured banks were either liquidated or merged with healthier institutions. Credit unions, on the other hand, saw 136 involuntary liquidations or assisted mergers at the hands of the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (their version of the FDIC), among 6,940 FDIC institutions compared to 6,815 U.S. credit unions.
I think nobody mentioned Applied Science, so that'll be my contribution to the thread:

From his about page: "You'll see how an electron microscope was built in a home shop, how an X-ray backscatter system works, how to make aerogel, and many other hi-tech projects. Topics usually include electromechanical systems, chemistry, and electronics."
The study was with 12 pairs of identical twins. Variation of 25% in IDENTICAL TWINS suggests that variation among genetically different individuals is probably going to be much larger.
Maybe overpaying 50% for talent is an OK price to pay for what they were actually trying to achieve. Engineers are fickle - they'll complain about one side of an equation while ignoring the other N sides.

Maybe cost was never an issue, but collaboration was. Maybe the culture that this policy generated was more important than the extra dollars they had to spend.

Or maybe, just maybe, your "factual evidence" is actually just a casual quip Joel Spolsky threw out there that one time for quick laughs. I would really love to see your sources that state "if Facebook had single offices instead of an open plan office, there would be just as much innovation, collaboration and successful products, yet the total cost of payroll would be 30% less." I'm pretty sure that's impossible to prove, regardless whether you'll label it with "factual evidence" or not.
Has there been any good reporting on why so many tech startups had large amounts of uninsured cash deposits? This has been a solved problem for a long time.

There's no reason for a small business to have any uninsured cash deposits. Is this a corruption story? Are they all just that incompetent?
As a Independent non-aligned American voter, I have to ask myself did Peter Thiel deliberately cause a run on SVB? Did Elon Musk buy Twitter to destroy it as an effective platform for Democratic organizing? Is Musk coordinating with Tucker Carlson to push propaganda that Jan 6 was merely constitutionally protected protest? And are House Republicans coordinating with Thiel, Musk and Tucker Carlson over the debt ceiling limit to cause a financial crisis to bring down the Federal government to accrue power to themselves? Like Carlson, I'm just asking questions.

The terminals are the smallest part of the cost and an ever decreasing portion. The service and support is by far the biggest cost.
I feel bad for people whose projects get shredded on HN, especially from a place of prejudice, like reflexive Electron hate.

But when I actually tried a bunch of Electron-based terminal emulators on Mac a few years ago... they all felt awful. They were slow in ways I did not realize terminal emulators even could be, and they often had extension ecosystems that were similarly slow and also buggy as hell.

PowerShell isn’t case sensitive. Personally I prefer `where` over `?` though.
I think you're agreeing with me but I'm not sure. I said you have to know your body, which you seem to. For your body 25 BMI is an upper limit, for my body 25 BMI is a lower limit unless I'm losing muscle mass or going to unhealthy body fat percentage levels.

Which is why I also said BMI is a poor target. 22 BMI, for me, would be an awful target. I'd be gaunt and have to lose a lot of muscle mass, not just fat (which I don't have a lot of to lose). Even bringing body fat percentage from 15% to 10%, which is still healthy, would only get me down to about 180lbs. That would leave me 25lbs over the target for a 22 BMI. That's my body, not yours, not anyone else's. I've learned what is healthy for me and have set goals and expectations around that. I wouldn't expect yours, or anyone else's, to be the same. You've realized that 25 BMI is too high for you, great. Now you know, but that doesn't apply to everyone. And the original poster in this thread claiming everyone should be at 22 BMI is clearly also speaking about a particular experience which is not applicable to everyone, but writing as if it is.
That thread seems to be insinuating that startup executives were offered mortgages in return for keeping their treasury as deposits in SVB. If so that sounds like a massive violation of fiduciary duty. (I don't have any concrete evidence of this and I'm just going by one Twitter thread I've read, so take with a mountain of salt.)
It's a solvency issue, not a liquidity issue, and HTM accounting does not reflect economic reality. Let's say that I have $1000 cash, but owe $1200 due tomorrow. I assume you'll agree I'm insolvent.

I can take my cash and purchase a 10-year zero-coupon Treasury paying ~4%; so my $1000 now buys me a payment of 1000*(1.04)^10 = $1480 in ten years. Would you say that I'm solvent now?

NPV is what matters for solvency; a cash flow later is worth less than the same cash flow now. Interest rates were ~zero for long enough that everyone seems to have forgotten this, but I guess Peter Thiel didn't.
If SVB depositors aren’t made whole. We will see a bank run come Monday. And there will be contagion as most banks likely also bought bonds/treasuries with reduced face value from the fast rate hikes.
As it ought to be. Idiots gave some idiots money who banked said money with idiots. The answer is not for the government to step in and rescue the idiots. The idiocy will only proliferate when that happens.
