I wouldn't say it is the government's fault, but is it that unreasonable to expect this basic safety net as a benefit for being a subject/customer of this government?

Various organs of the government are claiming the authority to create and enforce financial regulations. And yet, cash deposits in government-backed currency at a 100% government-regulated bank can still vanish overnight.

Given the huge costs of maintaining this government, and given the similar benefits it provides to others (Wall Street bailouts, stimulus checks, student debt forgiveness, etc.), is it that unreasonable to ask what YC is asking?
Samsung is a corrupt company with a corrupt culture.

Starting from the top - bribery, embezzlement, illegal transactions, stock manipulation, perjury - all the way down to their "partners".

They've been caught multiple times lying in their products description.

I won't add links as there are too many, but a quick search for Samsung and the keywords I mentioned will bring many results.

I use multiple languages and I always consider the context of programming advice. I recommend a broadened perspective.

In general I would rather maintain code by someone who have read Clean Code than by someone who considers it beneath them because they are too elite.
This is an unhelpful and incorrect sentiment in the context of ADHD medication.

The cause has been linked primarily to genetics as ADHD in particular is caused by the brain not producing enough dopamine (or cleaning it up too quickly) to function well in our society. It is also not endemic of modern times as there is evidence that ADHD has been with the human race since it existed. Stimulant type drugs are some of the most effective drugs we have to treat the conditions they target, because it counteracts precisely the mechanism (dopamine production/retention) that is deficient in ADHD brains.

Demographics implies a study about people. The word comes from Greek: “demos” meaning “ordinary citizens or common people” and “graphia” meaning “writing, drawing, description.”

None of this relates whatsoever to populations of stars, which would more aptly be described as having a distribution. So a better way to write the title would’ve been:

“What is the distribution of stars visible to the naked eye?”
I use sbupdate [0] to build the unified kernel image and to sign it with my keys. It's run by a hook in the arch's package manager whenever the kernel, the initrd or the firmware images change. I saw the other day that systemd recently got an utility to do this, but I've never looked into that. sbupdate has been working fine for me for several years now.

It doesn't store a new key in the uefi, it signs the new image with the key that uefi already knows about.

See [1] for the whole setup and [2] for the signing part specifically.

What do you groom with an electric razor that isn't hair? I am struggling to think of something...
> It's covered in the documentation now, explicitly:

> Do not use async effects. Use suspense.

The linked documentation does not mention the word "suspense".

Do you have a link that combines these two topics?

Instead the React docs explain a workaround that leads to completely different network request behaviour across development and production:

> In development, you will see two fetches in the Network tab.
> In production, there will only be one request.

The proposed solution in the docs now:

> useSomeDataLibrary()

without saying what that "some data library" could be.
Thank you for the detailed instructions. Much appreciated.
USDC is not an investment, it's a tokenized market money fund which you can redeem for 1$. Circle, they company issuing it, said that they will honoring redempetions 1:1 from tomorrow (weekend they can't because of bank closures).

Also the trading volume of stablecoins and of the largest cryptocurrencies is close on most day to NASDAQ's listed equities trading volume.

You reckon they would have been holding cash for payroll in SVB if they could have an account directly with the fed instead?
I wonder how big it was. Seems like it would have to be pretty big to be that bright, but maybe it's one of those things that defy our regular intuition.

>If you're large enough to have your own bank - many car manufacturers are, IIRC also IKEA - and are in Europe, you can already do this and deposit money at the ECB. In fact, so many were interested in that service that it turned from the usual - banks get paid interest, but a low rate - to the negative as a consequence of all the QE money injected after 2008ff.

Didn't ordinary banks offer negative interest rates too? Or was it just the ECB?
Step-change regulations really are a bad idea. Everything should be tapered.

Sad thing is that the defectors are clearly the short-term winners in that case.

Long term, the purchasing power of the Valley will be diminished and financial services disrupted. This might result in substantial disruption of businesses and cascades of business failures. Which may in turn affect defectors. But this seems to be the only negative feedback loop.
Still trading at 6% discount, on top of which you can lever up to 5x on-chain (so no counterparty risk). Seems excessive considering what we know.

> No, the problem was that VC's led and pushed for the panic withdraw of all funds.

If you knew that your bank was insolvent, would you withdraw your funds before SHTF? Or would you twiddle your thumbs until everyone else did that, and your accounts got frozen, with you sweating bullets over whether or not you'll be taking a haircut on your deposits?

Would your withdrawal be a 'panic', or simply a rational decision to not be the moron left holding what might be an empty bag?
They have to “make payroll” but couldn’t they cut all employees down to minimum wage? And then promise a performance bonus when money is restored and they haven’t quit.

Tech workers are usually at will, no union, so I think salary is completely discretionary.

This would be for hours going forward, not the payrolls due for hours already worked.
Shoulda invested in better exterminators. Money would have gone further.

The risk of US retaliation is too high.

The US routinely use similar bully techniques against their partners (in Iran for instance, pour EU comptines asked the EU commission for help but ultimately we retracted from Iran as asked by the US). They are powerful enough to do that, we (countries in the EU) are not.
What a complex way to write 'scam'.
I think it would cover interest rate risk because an increase in rates causes bond value to decrease, implying the bonds SVB held lose value and they would not be able to cover capital.

And if they have to value it appropriately every quarter, the issue likely would have been seen earlier and maybe they could have changed their positions as the rates were rising instead of being in a hole and trying to do it all at once.

At least I think that’s how the regulations might have worked here.

I like the post, it goes over multiple issues I had trouble with when learning React.

Another post I found insightful is this one, translated from a post by the author of the Alibaba Hooks library:

https://enlear.academy/5-things-i-disagree-with-react-hooks-...

It is also quite useful to check https://ahooks.js.org/hooks/ directly: Observing that there are hooks for seemingly basic tasks, and reading their linked code, makes it easier to figure out more React anti-patterns, simply by seeing what the hooks author did instead.

I really wish the official documentation was better. Often the docs are self-referential, referring to how current approaches are better than thing X React did in the past, and then the trail gets lost, instead of explaining from first principles how things work and why they are done the current way.
It's still put where it is put by the mass. In other words: the only way to move the COG around is to move the masses around. And if you move the bulk of the mass to the place where the engine would be in a mid engined car (assuming the batteries are the bulk of the mass) then that's where the COG will likely center on because it is roughly the middle of the car.

I don't actually agree with May, I think you should keep the COG in a car as low as possible until it starts to interfere with your ground clearance.
Because rates were near 0 at the time for short term bonds. Interest rates were so low that there was nowhere else to park the money. Usually this is fixed with loans but with startups having lots of VC money they didn’t need loans.

Through self improvement literature! The problem is there’s a lot of bad self improvement literature out there.

You are also right that a lot of it can only be approximately taught, because the process of internalizing the skills has a lot to do with figuring out how to work with your own personality.
Yeah, I don’t know why I tried to specify what kind of person you should hire for CFO. Just hire a good one.
They’ve stepped in, so they should attempt to manage the thing to maximize the wealth generation long term. This is not a zero-sum game.
I too agree with Chomsky. It's concerning to see people piling onto GPT/LLMs as an extractive tool - something it does okay at, but in the end, something it's not made for. So many companies rushing to use it as such is going to result in some colossal problems for some. The potential for completely false assertions is not something one should be in a hurry to productionize.

There's already a myriad of extractive NLP solutions available that organizations could be utilizing (like any simpler BERT-based model.) Unfortunately, they don't come with the veneer of misleading ethos that GPT/LLMs pretend to have.

Personally, I see some potential for customer-facing uses, but that's because customers like novelties.
Maybe that’s the whole point gathering 1000 reservations and then closing online presence.
yes but crypto has had billion melt downs SVB has only one.

and the other thing is that. If I had a business like Tether, believe me I would be counting every single cent in my holdings 7/24/365.
> Is there something else going on?

FED's recent higher rates for longer policy is death sentence for VC's and personal wealth of many people... So they are trying to create moral panic in order to reverse FED policy..

They will not succeed.. Rates will stay higher but a discount window will be made available for banks like SVB....
Yeah, I live in the middle of nowhere and it's far better this way. I just get cat and raccoon footprints on my roof.
Originally posted to Twitter[1] after seeing @ghuntley's post - below is a method of building a database of SVB account holders using a cleverly crafted Google query:

(121140399 OR 121145145 OR SVBKUS6S) AND 33**** filetype:xls | pdf | doc | txt -site:svb.com

The query[2] pulls back documents containing an SVB routing or swift number + SVB account number.

The name of the business tied to the SVB account number is usually within 100 characters of the account number and typically labeled "beneficiary" or "for credit of" (or some close variation on those themes).

In edge cases where a company name is not found near the account number, the account holder is often the source/author of the document[3].

Google only returns 1000 results for any given query - so retrieving the entire results set would require narrowing each query's scope and then iterating through the targets at a finer granularity.

For example, the current query looks for account numbers matching 33****. Replacing that with 33*NN**, where NN is 01-99 would let you iterate through ranges of account numbers (33*01**, 33*02**, and so on...).

Other approaches include geographically scoping the queries by adding "AND NJ" to queries (and iterating through each two-byte state code) or tacking on partial zip codes, etc...

It takes tweaking - but the goal is to build a query with elements that you can loop over to get your results into buckets of < 1000. Another option would be to use the
Bing Web Search API and paging through the json response.

These methods might complement the work you've already done on affectedbysvbornot.com - and help provide a more exhaustive list of companies impacted by the SVB collapse.

Being cliched and predictable isn’t even the biggest problem. The original Avatar story was cliched and predictable yet I enjoyed it. This Avatar 2 story on the other hand doesn’t even make sense. The kids were captured and rescued three times in a single movie which is beyond ridiculous. Quaritch had his hostages but kept making empty threats and basically stood there watching his men taken down around him without doing anything. The water clan simply disappeared halfway into the final battle while clan leader’s daughter was still held hostage. What a mess.

Lululemon was able to figure out how to market a premium product that can fetch far more profit margin than razors to wealthy clientele.

The opposite, marketing lower priced items because they have a lower price limits profit potential unless you have some technological advancement that really drives down cost.
Isn't the loan backed by the deposit at SVB? That seems like the whole point of it.

Yes some startups will go bankrupt and most of the remaining ones won't be profitable any time soon.

Surely Brex isn't counting on the profit from operations of the borrower to repay the loan, but rather that company's deposits at SVB being released at some time in the future.
I have just spent the last year doing the literal opposite.

15 year old software product built on Perl CGI with a server rendered html+jQuery front end. Massively grown past the point where that is suitable, with plans to add interactive features that would be crazy to do with the old architecture. Have moved the whole thing to a VueJS frontend. We have kept the old Perl CGI server architecture, just refactored it to return JSON.

You are complete right, to many people chose a tool based on fashion. There are two main things to consider when picking a toolkit or architecture for a web app/site:

- what do my team and myself know well, what will be the most efficient?

- where is the state? Is it predominantly in a database on the server or client side in the browser?

The project I'm on when they first asked those questions, the answer was, Perl CGI and server side state in a database. That is no longer the case for the second question, the state is increasing moving to the client side, and that's why I joined the team.

If I was answering the second question as server side right now I would probably pick htmx+alpinejs.

However, sometimes the first question overrules the second.

(There is a third question, do you need an installable app too? In which case a SPA with a toolkit that supports PWAs or web view wrappers is a good option if you want to only have a single codebase)
One point that I couldn't find mentioned in the article is that an arc (he often calls spark) creates a negative resistance, which partially or totally counteracts the R in the RLC, giving extended ringing or even crtical/overdamped oscillations. This was a key part of how early spark gap transmitters worked.

Negative reistance is more common than might be thought, if you search around you willl find a bit of info.
My personal experience is that using reagent is so intuitive that I had launched a non trivial form to post ads on a production site within a week not knowing both clojure/script and anything about react.

And also the problem was with “the” product manager, not “a” product manager.
Astonishingly, a simple metric seems to be useful. (And I find myself just on the right side of the threshold!)

is it a correct understanding that svb actually has troves of money, but it's locked down in bonds noone wants because of their low return value ( yet unless the US treasury bankrupts, they will never default) ?

It seems like a very specific situation quite far from 2008...

why isn't the banling sector simply lending the cash for daily operations, while SVB sorts the situation ?
It's much better than loosing everything in a systemic crash.
Except SVB’s customers aren’t “normal people”… they’re VCs, their funds and portfolio companies
The software technology in the original pixel cameras were using multiple frames of varying exposure to allow for impressive dynamic range in images while still retaining colour and contrast. This is quite a difficult thing to do as requires precise understanding of what the 'edge' of an object is, and I think that is what AI was used for. This stacking technique is also used for night exposures.

I'm sure that they have started using AI to fill in details more recently, but this is just to point out clever use of multiple exposures and AI can help without faking detail.
I'm giggling like a maniac, picturing some smirking NFT bro, pointing to his crotch and saying "want to get in on some applied DNA action?"
His writing is subtle and nuanced which is ironically probably why it lacks what you appear to be seeking, the "cliff notes", ai-summarized version of the article.

Near 0% interest rates might be requisite too, or at least whatever you “solve” for at 0% will not necessarily be a solution at 5%.
Yes, there are even people on HN that have reported successful redemption of tether for USD. You can ask people directly. It's not like this is a rare thing that never happens. If people weren't able to do so you would expect people to actually make claims aginst it.
I don't know, but compared to the scale of the gigantic crater that's visible in the image, whatever it was was pretty much nothing in the grand scheme.
> So you must first tell what is the actual name of this religion

Names are not that important. But since you asked it's called Sanatan Dharma. It's also called Hindu Dharma.

> The persian dictionary define "Hindu" as "Thief",

References from pre Islamic Persia please. Don't give the usual Sindu to Hindu explanation. If Persians don't have a S sound then why salaam didn't became halaam? What about Persia itself? Why not Perhia? Word Hindu is a thoroughly Sanskrit word. It define the region from Himalaya (हिमालय) to the Indian Ocean(इंदु सरोवर).

> Brahman priests he met said they have not written it yet.

Vedic tradition is called श्रुति (heard). It's transmitted for thousands of years through the oral method. I have replied you else where on the importance of oral method in Vedic tradition. So what exactly is your fascination with writing down? Writing down makes it authoritative? Then respond to the clear defence of birth based caste and discrimination against women in Buddhism. Refute this please.

Apple is known to loosen its rules around big apps. Facebook and other big players have gotten away with many privacy violations that any small app would be blacklisted for, simply because Apple knows banning them would damage their brand more than making special rules for big players does.

If Apple were to ban Coinbase, many people would probably blame Apple for restricting access to their cryptocurrency rather than thank them for standing up for fair app store reviews. Instead, they've probably just asked them nicely to stop doing whatever would be ban-worthy otherwise, with a ban (and a press statement) ready in case they don't cooperate.

It wouldn't make business sense to ban a popular app for something as silly as fake reviews, especially with the amount of customer money involved.
I guess the site lists a whole bunch of different ways in which this messenger can be considered as truly taking a privacy-first approach.

My condolences to hear that your confidence is broken.

The previous time I was unemployed, I got rejected 7 times in a row. I found my humility and accepted a job doing PHP for a bunch of bullies at my career starting salary.

This time I started out with pretty low hopes, but lined up 5 interviews in a week, went with the first offer in two days, and changed my mind with the second offer after one more day, ticking more boxes. I needed people to tell me I was aiming too low, because of bad memory.

I’m trying to say, I was pretty broken the last time, and my confidence turned me into a job repellant. I hope you get paid soon, so you can heal your confidence. The bad voices turn this into being about something it’s not.
