My point is this somewhat pedantic argument about BMI does not matter. The phenomenon of "healthy at any weight" is not hinging on cases where BMI does not capture athletic fitness, or does so poorly. "This guy has a BMI of 28.6 and does power lifting! Checkmate bodyshamers!" is not the logic being used in attempting to coerce people into thinking that obesity is healthy.
Hacker News is insanely successful app. And I bet its code is insanely basic. Who wouldn't see it as a goal worth pursuing?
Yeah but conditional on being able to "help themselves", most people still would want government intervention when it benefits them. For the /r/personalfinance users that have a 6 month emergency fund, I doubt they'd turn down the stimulus checks that the government was handing out, for instance.

So overall all we figured out were:

1. VCs "can help themselves" (aka. are rich)

2. VCs, like most people want government intervention when it benefits them

Not exactly a groundbreaking discovery that requires a crisis to unearth.
Multiple sources attest to the contrary - very consistently a "bailout" is taken to refer to any kind of financial assistance provided to a failing institution (not just to the shareholders). For example, Investopedia:

What Is A Bailout?

A bailout is when a business, an individual, or a government provides money and/or resources (also known as a capital injection) to a failing company. These actions help to prevent the consequences of that business's potential downfall which may include bankruptcy and default on its financial obligations.

All the major English dictionaries, and Wikipedia will tell you same thing.

To call this action anything other than "bailout" is to mince words, plain and simple.

*> ... make the members pay for their bad investments ...

SVB was a $209 billion dollar balance sheet with only $16 billion of shareholder equity. That means an 8% decline in the value of their assets makes them insolvent.

That also means that 8% is the maximum shareholders will have to "pay" for the bank's bad investments.

Doesn't seem like nearly enough skin in the game.

IMO I think an example of this is all the hardcore activists you see coming out of liberal universities.

People who are always talking about being oppressed, despite being in the top 10% socioeconomically on effectively any metric you can find.

These people are smart, hard working, qualified... But not enough to get the kind of $$ and respect in society they believe they deserve, so they begin to act like the game is rigged and try to break the game so it can be restarted from zero.

Since this isn't an actual leak, raising the limit should be fine. The default limit on Linux is 1024 due to some issues with SELECT, but you can easily raise it to a much higher value if you don't use that API.

One thing I think it has over iTerm2 is Broadcast across all terminals. It's fairly customizable. I prefer that over Tmux. I still use iterm2 as the daily driver, but have Tabby in my back pocket for moments I find it useful over iTerm2, which is rare, but not zero. I personally prefer iTerm2's password manager and regular expression triggers.
> FDIC insured funds haven’t been disbursed yet right?

The bank was closed on Friday, and at the time an announcement was made that the Deposit Insurance National Bank of Santa Clara would open with all insured deposits on Monday (this will not happen if between now and Monday a buyer is found and that bank instead takes over operations on Monday.) There’s not really a “disbursement” of insured funds, just a transfer to a new bank, which may or may not be run by the Federal government.

For uninsured funds, the announced plan (which also might be cancelled if a bank takeover provides better terms for them) is to provide an initial dividend during the week, and a “receivership certificate” for any remaining uninsured balances. Most likely (given history) a bank takeover would also preserve uninsured balances as normal deposits at the new bank; but that’s not guaranteed.

Isn’t this the problem with older shells as well? Eg you have to use e.g. awk or sed to deal with more complicated text processing. My understanding that the biggest difference between powershell (and nushell) and the older bash-like shells is that they deal with structured, object-like data rather than text. How would things be any different when “things break down” vs an older shell?
Few more decades of shell development and the people involved will maybe discover GUI with hotkeys. /s

Seriously though, for me their front page fails to give a convicing example how it's better than existing shells for a typical shell workflows.

Even the last one, which supposed to demonstrate better error messages, shows a cryptic error "change a or b to be the right types and try again". Perhaps type checking can help to say which argument is wrong and how to fix it? Now it's literally "one of your arguments is wrong, check man and try again".

Taxpayers do have an obligation to ensure that I do not view my checking account as a risky loan to the bank... It is not a positive outcome for taxpayers if they no longer view their deposits as safe. $250k is also a ridiculously low insurance amount for any company with a non-trivial number of employees.
Waist to height ratio is probably a better measure, nearly as easy.
I'm not saying they should act in the majority's interest, I'm saying they should act in their own interest. Mitigate their risk by managing their capital properly instead of hoping ("Hope is a poor substitute for strategy") that things will work out. It's irrational to act in a way that, if a failure occurs, requires someone else to bail you out when they aren't legally or ethically required to bail you out. That's operating on hope, not strategy.

Samsung's own spokesperon said this is an explicit feature of the phone.

> But I also want to include one caveat: the S21 Ultra’s Scene Optimizer will not suddenly make all 100x zoom photos look as crispy as the Moon. Samsung flat-out says the Scene Optimizer can recognize “more than 30 scenes.” That includes the following according to a spokesperson:

> Food, Portraits, Flowers, Indoor scenes, Animals, Landscapes, Greenery, Trees, Sky, Mountains, Beaches, Sunrises and sunsets, Watersides, Street scenes, Night scenes, Waterfalls, Snow, Birds, Backlit, Text, Clothing, Vehicle, Shoe, Dog, Face, Drink, Stage, Baby, People, Cat, Moon.

If it was just the normal camera 'faking' photos it'd be bad, but they literally offer a list of stuff that their zoom tab will AI-optimize. You can still use the regular camera to turn this feature off.

To me this sounds like a cool but simply misunderstood feature.

If the deposits are insured, a bank failure is far less likely in the first place.

It might be efficient for the FDIC to require complex and expensive financial engineering just to keep operating capital safe, but it's hostile to businesses, especially small ones, and is out of reach for many.
I don't know much about these file descriptors but in this case I would protect it using ReentrantLock or Monitor from Guava

They are more powerful than synchronized and can produce log messages when things go sideways with locking, dead locking or external crashes.
if you believe in good luck, do you believe in bad luck? you frame it as "not lucky" instead of "bad luck".

in other words, if you ascribe success to nothing in particular other than luck, why do you put more stock in the negative case? couldn't failure be caused by nothing other than bad luck?

reading failure stories to look for what to avoid might not be the right strategy if you believe in a world where luck dominates.
>The government's responsibility is to ensure the integrity of our financial banks

Correct. Thats why they shut SVB down. It is not the government's responsibility to ensure the deposits of every individual depositor.

>This is akin to blaming

There is no blame. The depostors money is lost*. That is a fact, an event that already occurred.

>why didn't the patient choose a better doctor

Just like with a hospital, they can sue SVB (well, not anymore). Some things just aren't fair. But "thing not being fair" does not mean "and now the government shall make it fair."

The law has always been $250K (or some other limit) since the FDIC was created, hundreds (thousands?) of banks have failed since, and sometimes the depositors were burned. Somehow VCs think they are special because they are "disruptive" or whatever but they are not. The other times depositors were burned it wasn't because it was their "fault" or not, that isn't part of the consideration.

That’s wild. To have 24/7 availability for one requires 30 more in maintenance. I can see why the 1.3 hour metric is so vaunted - only two extra are needed in maintenance (assuming apples to apples comparisons).

We could break the system if we wanted to. Were software engineers to unionize alongside the contracted employees, it would provide a front that would make it basically impossible to operate startups without dealing more fairly. You can't run a business that has a building without someone collecting the trash, sweeping the floors, and keeping the whole thing from falling down. Worst-case scenario, fouhders decide to try and operate with-from-home employee teams to decrease contractors needed, and then the engineers win anyway.

... It won't happen because we don't want it to. But it could.

Even if you're a non-profit, if your website analytics on 500k monthly views isn't helping maximize donations by more than $42/month, you're doing something wrong.

Ultimately, the main takeaway is, it doesn't matter how low or high the price is. Some people just believe they're entitled to a world where everything works perfectly for their needs and they never have to pay for it. I suggest ignoring those people--because you'll never make them happy.
Bailout implies that the individual/business being made whole *should* have made decisions to prevent the situation from occurring in the first place. What responsibility did a SVB depositor have in SVB's decision to purchase billions of MBS in 2021?

I'm not really "nail in the coffin" convinced.

Is there a process that does something akin to identifying the moon, and selecting a special filter for that? I'm pretty convinced of this. (Both by the evidence and also it's apparently advertised as such?)

What is that filter? I don't know, and the answer to this would inform "how fake" I think these images are.

It does seem to be a moon-specific treatment. It doesn't seem to be pasting a JPG of the moon and it doesn't seem to be generating the moon.

How fake it is, is, I think a measure of how dependent the result is on the specific sensor data, and how localized the changes are. If there's a moon-specific filter that's excellent at filling in data "between" sensed pixels without looking at any pixels far away (beyond, perhaps, the initial categorization as a photo of the moon where this filter would be good), that's not very fake to me.

If there was suddenly a new structure on the moon visible to the sensors, I'd want it reflected in the photo. I would consider the process very fake if it couldn't do that at all, and not very fake if it could do it reliably.

What if someone starts from a clean slate. Which shell is better?

That is the question. Old habits hold us back from progress in usability. Eventually if one system is better it should completely replace the old system. But only if it's better. What one power user deems as "useful" according to his own usage patterns shouldn't be a metric for measurement.

I haven't played with nushell yet, but it actually seems more powerful then python for shell tasks. All the data structures are catered towards easy visualization and parsing parameters related to a shell. Python does not have such convenience.
Yea, look into vfx companies doing virtual production
Unfortunately I felt the same way. I'm probably their prototypical target audience (neovim user, I stay in the terminal 99% of the time) and I couldnt justify switching over to nushell full time. I wish they didn't change the syntax too much - there's still tons of scripts and commands that work on zsh or bash and are used in normal work flows.

This isn't unique to SVB or this situation because it's how things have worked for years. In most jurisdictions, companies are always liable for unpaid wages and it's usually a non-dischargable liability so in the event of corporate insolvency, the board/shareholders (in a startup, often the founders) can be liable.

Any competent founder is already well aware of this.

BTW, is anyone else starting to get annoyed with the excessive media hyping of the SVB story? I've been doing tech startups in the valley for decades and this just isn't that big of a deal.
