Like every other asset you don't want your business to lose: you shouldn't under-insure bank balances. Sticking to legally mandated minimum insurance unsuited to your enterprise is negligence.

When the unimaginable happens, you can easily get bridging finance on the strength of your insurance (if your insurer is not responsive enough for your payroll dates)

Okay, so I've actually installed Portmaster and things seem to be going well! It actually does seem to suspend connections like you described, which is infinitely better than WFC just setting block-by-default. That's awesome.

It does have quite a few usability nitpicks, and I don't know if it's appropriate to open GitHub issues over those, but if there's some way I can get them to you other than HN (because this is getting quite off-topic) I'd be glad to send them over.

One of my only non-nitpick gripes so far is the fact that I can't allow a connection to pass once without creating a permanent rule. Well, I can if I get a desktop notification (I can just dismiss the notification), but if the notification doesn't get sent to the desktop for whatever reason I cannot control, it shows up in the Portmaster interface itself which doesn't let me allow a connection once without creating a permanent rule.

Would love to chat with you more about this~

I'm a big fan of not posix but instead modern bash and to all the complainers about dash and ash, I say "tough cookies".

Bash has arithmetic, dictionaries, regex matching, nice string manipulation, co-processes, TCP pipes built in, it's pretty nice.

However, bash has very low tolerance for incompetency. It's a brutal friend. It's cooking dinner with a pocket knife. You gotta actually read the docs and be sincere in your studies.

I was around when supporting Solaris, HPUX, AIX, and Irix was a real concern. Those times sucked and those platforms are so minor I stopped caring about them except for enthusiast projects many years ago. (And I still actually have an hpux machine)

Sometimes I'll even use zsh. It can even do floating point.

Here's some example of a modern tool I have written for a subject I call "music discovery"

https://github.com/kristopolous/music-explorer/tree/master/t...

You'll see many languages in there but you won't see posix sh. It's slow, it's clunky, it's a pain in the ass.

If you don't like my practice then I guess don't use it. I've been using/developing these particular tools nearly every day for over 3 years and it works well for me.

I'm not going to say bash is awesome but it's pretty great for programming.

I use zsh as my interactive shell though, it's miles ahead of bash in that department. Watching people who really know what they're doing in zsh is a total mindfuck.
Well it is a conclusion written without knowledge of signal analysis.

The input to the algorithm will be an image with a power spectrum that isn't natural, . It would be very natural even without "AI" to attempt to "deblur" when faced with such a power spectrum.

A deblur of noise can cause "hallucinations" with much simpler reasons than AI beong involved.

Could it not e.g. be doing some wavelet transforms or FFTs and automatic power spectrum calibration?

People want this. It's already happening. There was a post on the Stable Diffusion reddit where someone ran a picture of their grandparents through it to colorize and make it "look nicer".

Agree ,but do not think you have to become a manager to see those mistakes.
You should do some more research than simply reading whatever is posted on HN or just get a financial advisor because this is a failure in financial planning that is causing you to miss a lot of potential growth. No individual who would miss $250k should have that much sitting as cash in a bank account unless they are planning to buy a house or other large purchase in the next couple of months. That money should be invested somewhere even if it is just all in short term CDs or bonds if you are an extremely risk-averse person.

I use the touchpad on my laptop and put the laptop in my lap and my ass in a comfy chair.

Haven't had hand/wrist pain in more than three years.

Back when I used mice and keyboards on desks, a big source of pain was small radius and/or sharp corners on the edge of the work surface. So I used work surfaces with large radius edges.

Obviously, the laptop in my lap made that moot.

It's not that I don't like mechanical keyboards and mice.

For me, their pleasures aren't worth the pain.

YMMV.

Good luck.

Just to clarify here, each CD is FDIC insured to $250K if it's the only account you have at that bank.

see: https://www.fdic.gov/resources/deposit-insurance/brochures/d...

specifically this example: https://i.imgur.com/7kKHXEf.png
Every bank account in the United States is insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. I have zero sympathy for these depositors who decided it would be "too costly" or "too much hassle" to split their deposits into multiple accounts.

If you've got $25,000,000 dollars at SVB, you need 100 accounts. This is not rocket science. I really hope that they find a buyer to make depositors whole but if one cannot be found why should the public reimburse depositors for more than 250K simply because they were too cheap to hire a couple of accountants to manage it?
You can easily have up to $1.25 million insured at one bank by naming your account "payable on death" and filling out a simple one page form naming 4 beneficiaries: https://www.fdic.gov/resources/deposit-insurance/brochures/d...

When I was an undergrad, in a major city, essentially nothing was open on a Sunday--including chain stores although there were fewer of those at the time. Which meant if I had sports on a Saturday as I often did, getting shopping done could be awkward. Over the next decade or so, the blue laws started to get relaxed.
Of course, that is likely what they're getting. People with sub-$250k will be taken care of by the FDIC as expected and the $250k+ depositors will be made whole from the proceeds of asset sales (bonds, securities, et al) held by Silicon Valley Bank. I really don't think the U.S. government will step in to provide additional funds.

It's also possible that the FDIC might sell the remnants of Silicon Valley Bank to a larger bank that will assume all deposits.
No way. My home coffee is 14 oz. for $5 and lasts like 25 cups. That's $0.20 a cup. At McDonald's scale, their filter cost is 0 and I'm sure their coffee bean price is half of that, at $0.10 a cup. They're also really automated. If you've ever seen how automatic their soft drinks get poured in the drive-thru, it's like a factory.

This issue has been known for a few years. Here's a more thorough analysis from January 2021:

"Is the Galaxy S21 Ultra using AI to fake detailed Moon photos?": https://www.inverse.com/input/reviews/is-samsung-galaxy-s21-...

Note that the author decides that Samsung's photos are "not fake", in the sense that they were not doctored after being taken with the phone. However, the article decisively proves that they're being heavily doctored in-camera.

Another test would be to shoot RAW + JPEG if the camera supports it. A true RAW image would reveal what the sensor is actually capturing.

GC Extension for WebAssembly
Fascinating. Did some extra reading from Buganda wikipedia page. Like most (all?) cultures/civilizations, the circle of empathy excluded humans on the periphery:

Before the arrival of Europeans in the region, Buganda was an expanding, "embryonic empire".[12] It built fleets of war canoes from the 1840s to take control of Lake Victoria and the surrounding regions and subjugated several weaker peoples. These subject peoples were then exploited for cheap labor.[12] The first Europeans to enter the Kingdom of Buganda were British explorers John Hanning Speke and Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton while searching for the headwaters of the Nile in 1862. They found a highly organized political system which was marred, however, by the ongoing practice of mass human sacrifice estimated at 800 persons annually.

Right, and this is why they fundamentally failed. If their main depositors were traditional businesses and individual accounts they wouldn’t be an issue today. They invested their money as if they had low-risk depositors but a start-up is a high risk depositor——they don’t have a proven business model so it is hard to forecast their behavior.

To me this is classic SV echo chamber thinking. There’s a reason traditional banks are more wary of lending to start-ups and it isn’t because they hate money.

Some banks are just brands, and use bank license of their mother. In that case both accounts share $250k limit. So be careful that insurance does not overlap.
You are probably right. It's funny though as there are literally hundreds of these RFID cloning devices [1] on Amazon, Ali, ebay and other places. I think trying to block the sale of them would be an endless game of whack-a-mole.

A company I worked back in the dot com boom days... one of the sysadmins was a bit on the grumpy side. He had been there from the start and had some nice options to be able to cash out on and try something. So he cashed out and pursued his dream of being a chef - finished up some certificates and such... and became a chef.

About a year later, he came back to working as a sysadmin no where near as grumpy. He got a job as a chef... and realized that as much fun as the cooking is he really didn't like being a chef.

Ages ago Acard, who're makers of popular SCSI-IDE adapters and controller chips, made a 5.25" half height device that could take up to four DDR2 DIMMs, connected to the host computer using SATA, and had options for a CF card and a battery.

I'd use something like this for heavy disk I/O over an SSD any day. Plus, it lets you use memory that would otherwise likely go to waste.

However, those were expensive back then and haven't gotten any cheaper, nor are there newer devices that I know about that'd take newer DIMM types. That'd be nice, though.

The first $250,000 per person per bank, essentially, is already protected. With investments and real estate living on different balances sheets, any policy change or bailout here isn't for the sake of people who might stuff money in their mattresses. They're already covered.

It's about guaranteeing that the stewards of very large wealth don't have to practice the conservative risk management strategies available to them.
What do you mean by "toxic assets"? My understanding is that the assets were long-term treasuries issued in 2021. They'd declined in value, as expected, because of interest rate increases that occurred afterwards. SVB is now unable to sell those bonds without losing money, and so would have to wait until maturity to get their money back.

This is just not true.

And if I saw that multiple times in public places, big institutions with experienced people probably knew it even better, which is probably why SVB is hosed while CDSs at JPMorgan/GS/etc. have barely budged- they knew what they were doing.

I’m not justifying imperialism. There are reasonable arguments to be made against Chinas actions.

The matter of fact here is that all of those regions listed: Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan. There are or were fought over as a direct result of external imperialism. Tibet had been a part of the Chinese empire for over a thousand years, and only emerged as an independent nation after a total collapse and state failure. There was a power vacuum for almost 40 years, and once a new government emerged, it retook Tibet.

Hong Kong and Macau only exist because of western imperialism.

It has been government policy for both the PRC and the ROC that Taiwan is a part of China for the last 70 years, only recently has Taiwan started to break from that.

All that said, I am now here trying to justify actions. Rather I am looking to contextualize. In the west we couch everything into a narrative of good vs evil, with the west being the good and moral force, and our enemies being the evil side. Reality isn’t so clean. And I am personally very disappointed to see the tenor of conversation around US China relations these days. Neither country is perfect and both countries have done things I think are wrong. I would hope that we can engage each other in a productive way rather than a destructive one, but more and more things seem to be going in the opposite direction.
