Is that really your total understanding of treasury management? You believe all American companies do 1 of 3 things with their cash, and it's those things?

Anyhow, yes, buying stocks is too complicated to be a sure thing. But rather than banning the process, we just make sure there are decent guardrails so the average Joe doesn't get too screwed and systemic risk is limited, and then we let people do a capitalism if they want, but on their own heads be it. And whole industries have risen up to help them do it.

It's the same deal with banks. The government's job isn't to hold the hands of people trying to figure out what to do with their millions. It's to protect the small players from predation and limit systemic risk.

That's a very cynical view of your fellow human beings. Everybody is capable of empathy and logic. It's just that our brains try to conserve energy and don't want to spend energy thinking too much about stuff.

Your post is ironically a great example. It's easier for your brain to decide that these people are some kind of un-empathic illogical (sub)humans, than for your brain to really try to empathise and think about how things have lead to this point for those people.
They should also be responsible for resurrecting people who died and compensating them for the time they missed, and unpolluting hopelessly polluted sites before they were hopelessly polluted.

At the end of the parable of Job, God gives Job all new sons and daughters to replace the sons and daughters that were crushed during the game with Satan. I never considered that as a thing that made Job whole. In case of devastating and prevetable disaster, the train companies will just declare bankruptcy and the owners will start new train companies, or they'll nationalize themselves and sell to the government at an inflated price.

edit: these companies were all formed by groups of insiders that were handed state property for free; they have typical post-Soviet oligarch origin stories.
Weight being mostly of muscle is different than mostly of fat. When we say obese, it's the later one.
Many fat shamers use t
Health as an excuse to allow themselves to treat fat people like shit.

Unfortunately getting into that argument is a minefield.

Just let them be adults and manager their life as they please. At one point they might becone fed up with life as a fat person and they'll make the effort.

And it they don't, well, there are people who smoke from teenage years all the way to the grave

But, either eay, people dont humiliate smokers the way they do with fat people

Depends what you’re optimising for. Are you optimising for readability - e.g. maybe you share shell history with team mates for example.

Or are you optimising for getting your thoughts transcribed to the machine as quickly as possible. It’s usually this case for me.

I tend to maintain a huge shell history so i really like the terse format for quickly filtering down my historical commands.

Writing shell scripts might be a good case for the longer form style although bourne-esque syntax is burned into my fingertips after all these years that long form is not going to be useful to me.

According to Ankit Parasher, Co-Founder of YC-backed fintech start-up SALT, “SVB was the default bank for any international start-up expanding operations to the US. It was a stable bank and most VCs recommended it, so the impact of SVB failure is expected to be even larger than just Indian SaaS companies and YC-backed start-ups.”

Now you have me curious. I have no difficulty spreading my cash across a few accounts on as many institutions to be well within the FDIC insurance's limit; it's not that much ("few" might or might not be one). But how are well funded corporations supposed to do that? Clearly having the funds available as (bookkeeping) cash isn't ideal, but sometimes unavoidable, I suppose.
The only factor MBS had in any of this, and it was relatively small, was compared to "normal" notes and bonds (govt or corp) the duration of mortgages extends in a risking rate environment due to fewer prepayments. So rather than say a 4% change for every 100bp move in interest rates, the MBS might change 4.5 or 5%.

I know this exists, I have an account like that. The question is why people aren't using it more then?
Because the goverment should not dictate wages. The market should. The minimum wage should actually be zero. I would certainly like to see a minimum wage of $30/hr but realistically I know that's not possible, particularly in low skill level tasks that today can be easily automated. Wages is the number one cost in many industries, some operating with very tight margins. If you give industries a reason to automate they will, and those jobs will be gone forever once the investment is done and machines are in operation. Which is not a bad thing but you don't want it to happen suddenly without having a plan to retrain the workforce and give them valuable skills like they do in other countries like Germany. So if you want better wages, it is simple, get people skills that are in high demand.
I'm not really sure which other popular languages would be considered memory safe AND strongly typed. I know of both C and C++ which I wouldn't consider memory safe. And I know of Javascript, which is not strongly typed... so which do you mean?
Part of what complicates all of this is rent seeking problems, excessive licensing, monopoly abuses, protectionist overregulation, and so forth. I think There's slightly different issues going on in different areas.
Control of SVB up for auction as feds weigh protecting uninsured deposits
I literally can't dream up a worse policy choice than to highly incentivize the almost immediate withdrawal of every non-insured deposit in the country from the banking system just so the money can be parked in t-bills. Every bank intervention has some degree of being unpalatable for various reasons, but you know why we do it? Because it's better than the alternative. Sorry. Remember when that money market fund broke the buck in 08? You can't have these sorts of products not getting par, all hell will break loose.

Right now, the thing that worries me the most is idiot politicians (redundant) inserting themselves and focusing on tangential things like who got paid a bonus or whatever. These people will - R and D - manage to screw it up.
But that provides a real benefit whereas the compiler trick's objective is to look good in a benchmark.
Only the Jan 6 protest outside the in-use government buildings was constitutionally protected. As far as I know the congress does not have to allow random people to disturb them while in session and can enforce that. In general, it's safe for the police to do so, I think they should arrest all rioters on basic misdemeanor charges, do a bit of investigation, and then let those go who did not do anything. Obviously in this case if you went into the senate chamber you would get at least a misdemeanor trespassing charge.

> as far as I know US is not in war with Russia

Even Ukraine is not at war with Russia. Even Russia is not at war with Ukraine.

Turns out that many lives and a lot of hardware can be expended without a war.

Welcome to the 21st century where the there are gaps between contract law (that governs the relationship between the Pentagon and SpaceX) and international law (that spell out the rules in case of war but not necessarily in a case of "conflict" in which US has a geopolitical interest).
Your third point is quite solid. People support capitalism for only one reason—they actually really do believe they are temporarily embarrassed capitalists, just one job away from some Prince Charming mentor figure discovering their talent being “wasted” at the bottom and lifting them into the C-suite. In truth, of course, the system sees them as being right where they belong.

This “overproduction” crisis is a war between the outer capitalist party and the inner one, the former being a powerless but once comfortable buffer class the real elite has decided it wants to try living without.

Technological changes and globalization have led the actual economic elite to decide they no longer need a large middle class (outer party). This is not about overproduction. Supply isn’t changing. It’s demand going to zero that is creating the problem.

Cash strapped 30 year olds are most likely to engage when engagement means no longer being cash strapped.

This isn't the cause of the labour shortage, and it will not solve it either.

Note: I already said; fair wage is sensible.

To resolve that, the 60yo+ generation now controlling 80% of the wealth will need to part with that wealth to

This number is wildly inaccurate. But beyond that, no one is hoarding anything.

Instead, it is called "retirement savings". It is money for housing, health care, nursing home costs, food, and to help offspring. Once retired, the valves open, because few have pensions, and even those that do, it is not enough.

So your desire already happens, naturally.

What you are describing is called "being responsible", and an attempt for people to not burden themselves on their children.

These are not miserable bastards, trying to keep money from the young.

And when these people die, that money doesn't vanish, it flows to offspring.

Another thing that may have helped would be if they hedged their interest rate risk. That’s discussed on this podcast[0] by some folks who do that sort of thing for big banks.

It’s pretty nuts that they didn’t have a hedge in place, given the pretty clear policy of the Fed.

When and how often you feel hungry is a well-documented to be a conditioned response based on eating patterns, it isn't intrinsic unless you go quite a long time without eating. Human eating patterns have considerable flexibility. A person with a normal metabolism can habitually eat one meal a day without being any more hungry than someone that eats three meals a day with snacking in between.

Unless they are on a particularly aggressive program of calorie reduction, eating less than they are eating now is not asking them to be perpetually hungry.
Yeah I agree that SpaceX's concern is unlikely over potential attacks on their satellites. Not only is SpaceX able to put them up faster than Russia could shoot them down, attacking a Starlink satellite would be an act of war against the US regardless.

I think SpaceX's concern is more related to domestic liability. The US's policy has been that they will not provide offensive aid for attacking into Russia. They've been very careful about the range of the systems they send for that reason.

Unrestricted Starlink is not subject to those range limits. So, if the attacks which went deep into Russian territory involved Starlink mounted to drones, it would essentially be in violation of the US's own stated policy about military aid to Ukraine. Thus far this hasn't caused any trouble, but if something were to happen (eg an escalation), SpaceX might get thrown under the bus by the US government since they aren't contracted by the DoD to provide such service.
Startups that are worth saving will be saved.

RISC is about pipelining more than ISA, really. Yes, these are tiny instructions, but the CPU is doing only one of them at a time. In a RISC core[1], the CPU would be fetching an instruction from address X, while the instruction at address X-4 (fetched last cycle) was being presented to the decoder, at the time time the decoded instruction from X-8 was being presented to the ALU for execution (or FPU, or load/store unit, etc...), at the same time the instruction at X-12's result was being written back into the register file.

You still get only one instruction per cycle[2], but the circuit depth is lower and you can run faster. The tradeoff is that you need enough hardware on the chip to do all this at one time. The microcode solution can share resources between different instructions because they don't operate at the same time.

[1] This is more or less the original four-stage RISC setup. Modern CPUs have many more pipeline stages, including handling for things like L1 cache.

[2] Superscalar CPUs extend this idea by having multiple execution pipelines running in parallel, fed by an instruction fetch/decode unit that can figure out and emit more than one instruction in a cycle.
Nobody is "naturally fat".

In animal husbandry, people breed livestock for their "feed conversion ratio" - I.e which animals can most efficiently convert the same amount of food into the most additional bodyweight. It's not a stretch to think something similar might happen in people.

However, if you're one of those people that puts on more weight per item of food then it sucks to be you, but you'll need to eat less food.

Re: your point about medicines - I doubt they manage to create additional calories out of thin air.

I mean, the US invaded two countries under false pretences and killed hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom were disintegrated into dust, and instead of "offended letters" from some ambassadors, had many other countries show strong support.

But it's the middle east countries that are a problem.

Oh, "no one". Gosh golly, impressive how you can read minds like that.

That program was an always-temporary response to a major financial crisis. I expect most finance professionals knew that it was temporary.

But suppose you're right. Suppose all the cool kids thought they'd get bailed out no matter what. In that case, it's even more important now to not use taxpayer money to prevent the big-money SVB accountholders from taking a haircut. Because your justification here is exactly the kind of moral-hazard problem that regulators are very eager to prevent.
I was under the impression that you can cheat yourself a bit by eating unlimited food but low-cal. Vegetables are one way (they're mostly water and fiber), but I'm not a picky eater and mostly eat to feel full, not for the taste so YMMV.
Well, by definition in these cases it's making a correct decision but that decision isn't popular. If red-lining wasn't profitable the banks would have gone broke and we wouldn't be talking about it.

The models aren't wrong, or even wrongly biased. We're systematically failing to ask the right questions because it's not politically correct to even call out the issues we're trying to combat. If you're trying to achieve "equity" then you need to define it and represent it in your equations, not ban various metrics until justice happens.
Interesting...thanks for sharing.

In the US, all government power is derived from the US Constitution. The 3rd and 5th Amendments provide some protections of civilians from the military. But in practice, all civil rights only exist to the extent that they can be enforced. When martial law is enacted, there are no civil rights protections.
I am not a fan of the Fed, but it was created precisely to stabilise the banking system due to a huge number of bank runs (that happened before it was created).

I think the only consistent libertarian position on this would be to concede that bank runs are totally normal (and welcome even) aspect of a capitalist system and they should never be bailed out or depositors compensated as it would be rewarding irresponsible behaviour (both by shareholders AND depositors).
A significant chunk of the userbase here work in jobs that use <flavour of the month> frameworks "reinventing" the <flavour of the year> stack because it will totally "disrupt" some completely saturated market, in companies averaging less than 12 months inbetween pivots and still earning less than 60¢ in revenue per $1 cost, more than five years after founding because they hire Stanford grads to write CRUD apps at a per person cost of starting entire small businesses. Of course they feel the need to validate the existence of their own jobs by shitting on "low skill" jobs that have actually been essential to keep our society functioning especially over the last 3 years.

I wasn't expressing condescension but that you would have had a better understanding of what was being discussed after you would have read the thread. You should work at following the exact site guideline that you quoted, instead of making assumptions about my day-to-day communications and commenting about those non-existent communications.

> Going back to your original comment I don't think it's reasonable that you've never seen an em-dash in "business or personal writing" but I would totally accept that you haven't noticed the punctuation in those contexts. This is partly my point, if these marks are used correctly then it makes sense you've never spotted them.

What I was saying is that I don't see them in my day-to-day activities, which I don't. You are making assumptions about what type of communications I am involved with daily, and the types of people I communicate. I communicate with cryptographers and security professionals who all use mono-spaced text. I also communicate with C-level people who barely need to use punctuation other than a period. They have mastered brevity and communicate exceeding well.

It would make far more sense if you wrote, "I don't think it's reasonable that chownie has never seen an em-dash in business or personal writing."

People care about social status because it brings about opportunities in the same way that wealth or natural talent do.

You can also choose to live like a hermit, but then if you ever need do anything that requires the involvement of others, you'll find it harder to pull that off.

And beyond that, people derive their happiness and satisfaction from social fulfillment to some extent, and again here social status plays a role.

Agree, this does not matter to Mark Cuban and certainly not us. Mark is gonna be fine even in the absolute worst case where the money is locked up for years, and he takes a 20% haircut on his modest deposit. This crisis is for businesses that need access to their money now to pay wages and bills.

There are hard tradeoffs here, and one failed bank doesn't mean the wrong choice was made.
