Okay it's technically not a part of the government, but it's a Government Sponsored Entity with public ownership. All mortgages bought by them have an implied guarantee by the US government.

So they did sell them to "a government-sponsored entity and the US government has an implied guarantee to pay any defaults."

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the issue, but how did the people losing money here make speculative investments? Is there some expected return on opening an account with SVB? I thought these were just normal depositor accounts being wiped out.
Open 4 banks and you’ll lose at most 25%?

Use treasures bills if you’re that concerned.
You can both hold the opinion that we should actually bail the depositors out but also regard the fact that they exhibited a serious lack of due diligence at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive. I think you're assuming that simply because people are critical of the lack of risk controls at these companies, they also necessarily mean to say that they all deserve to be wiped out.
Yeah, I’ve seen that from a few posts too, it’s why I felt it valuable to point out.
> I'd love to hear more about this, and how one defines "better"

Sure! The discussion was about enjoying small independent coffee shops, and how to run one profitably, so my description of "better" is w.r.t. that issue - for persons who want to run such a coffee shop, or who want to visit one. The identified issue is that per-purchase margins are fairly small, and to sustain a business it requires a lot of these small purchases. As property (mortgage/rental) costs are also high, having a small space is also important. So to get a lot of customers despite being a small space, you want to be either near a natural attraction (park, beach, etc), or near a lot of people (office building, metro station). Density helps with the latter.

> I happen to live in a low-density part of the world. It has its downsides, but on the plus side, from my home I can walk to open countryside in pretty much any direction in a few minutes.

And how many independent coffee shops can you walk to in a couple minutes?
The two assertions, "depositors should be made whole", and "we are not asking for a bank bailout" are a bit... misleading? No, they are technically not asking for a bank bailout, but they are asking for a bailout.

> I don't think "like the left wing of the French legislature in the late 1700s" is a very good description of what leftism means to people in the modern day.

That's why 'left' and 'right' have little objective meaning. They're more tribal than explanatory.

> what leftism means to people changes over time with culture

Correct, I don't think there's a good idea what it means in the USA right now, let alone worldwide and across time.

That's a circular definition though. How do you know they were leftists? By the current or the old meaning? Do old works suddenly become leftist works as the term changes and their author would now qualify as a leftist?

There's a difference between a god and a theism so they'd simply be mistaken.

Well put. This is exactly why people are so emotional about this story - you've got a group of people acting like they're shaking up a stodgy old system and those who can't keep up need to whither and die. And then suddenly when things don't go their way (and this is an extremely minor thing really, most of the money is there, there are lots of private ways to backstop this), they run and cry to the government.

> it wouldn’t hurt for there to be somewhere you actually can rest cash securely, for a service fee.

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.

If you're not large enough, park your money into a time spread of government bonds - the US and Germany are among the safest harbors you can get. Spread your yearly cash burn over 5-10 different banks, buy 1 year bonds and roll them over with the rest.
Why don't banks offer a "virtual bank account" which would be like a management layer on top of N actual bank accounts. This way, a depositor could deposit an arbitrary dollar amount (automatically divided among total/250k accounts) and still benefit from FDIC insurance and the ease of a single "virtual" account.
At least partly, yes. There's that "7 +/- 2" number for how many slots there are in working memory, and then what actually goes in those slots has something to do with how well you understand whatever topic you're thinking about. IIRC there have been studies on chess experts that more or less boil down to them being able to use their slots more efficiently for game states that make sense.

>>he laws against building new housing or repairing tractors are gone because >10% of people don't.

I think it is a fallacy (one often made by supporters of democracy) to believe that 90% of people want X, with X being the thing the government refuses to do....

in this case housing... Sure lots of people claim to want more housing, claim to support more housing.. right up to the moment that new housing is going to be built in their backyard then they no longer desire that new housing... That housing should he build "somewhere else" ... in someone else's backyard...

NIMBY is a problem for all kinds of things and is not resolved with popularity, because most people do not want a Nuclear Reactor, Trash Dump, or "Affordable housing" in their neighborhood

It is not a matter of the rate of absorption. The experience is qualitatively different.

Indeed. And telling it to spell out the steps in math solution is essentially (ab)using the chat log as the memory for an iteration loop.

This demonstrates then when you instruct it "break down the problem and solve it iteratively" it comes out with superior solutions. More accurate, more novel. Ergo, then if it was allowed to iterate in this way internally, it'd produce better answers by default.

A Couple SVB Thoughts
I really doubt that when these startups put money into a bank account they were "knowingly taking a high risk."
Probably to save energy, and maybe to get a performance boost.
I think I've seen all of these at some point (:

Unless I'm missing something, I think the "Async effect function" solution is not correct:

React.useEffect(() => {
async function runEffect() {
// Effect logic here
}
runEffect();
return () => {
// Cleanup logic here
}
}, [userId]);

This looks like a race-condition where cleanup may be done before `runEffect` has finishes resolving, and any errors thrown in `runEffect` will be unhandled promise rejections.
I tweeted that today :)

No, it's not "good enough". Far too many companies can no longer make payroll as a result of this.

> I do wonder though how did people deal with these problems in the past when neither ADHD or these drugs were recognized and available.

For 400 years, the majority of the population used tobacco/nicotine for increased concentration. Over the last 30 years, that rate has declined, while at the same time, ADHD diagnoses have increased. Studies have shown nicotine is effective in reducing ADHD symptoms, so it seems that society's elimination of nicotine has revealed that it was covering up ADHD for all those years.
> If we were to make housing more dense but use the extra space as countryside that's not going to provide any more customers within the catchment area of the OP's coffee shop, is it?

If your current area has 400 residents but you can still easily walk to open fields, increasing that to 1200 residents in the same area would triple potential coffee customers while maintaining the same access to countryside.
If SVB didn't already have sufficient lines of credit (recall that 40+ billion was withdrawn in just one day) arranging a loan or credit for the cash amounts involved takes a large amount of time compared to the obligations a bank is under.

This kind of event is ostensibly prevented by regulations requiring "shock testing" of banks, but the GOP and trump rolled back those regulations for banks like SVB because government regulation is bad, and the CEO of SVB told congress that despite the established history of unregulated banks failing just like this, it would not happen again because magic.
SVB saw more than 25 percent of their deposits withdrawn. No bank could handle that. Ultimately the money has to go somewhere (it won’t fit under everyone’s mattress) so a big bank would be unlikely to fail.

Question: What’s the history of bullfighting in Spain?

Answer: Bullfighting, also known as "tauromachia," has a long and storied history in Spain, with roots that can be traced back to ancient civilizations. The sport is believed to have originated in 7th-century BCE Iberian Peninsula as a form of animal worship, and it evolved over time to become a sport and form of entertainment. Bullfighting as it is known today became popular in Spain in the 17th and 18th centuries. During this time, the sport was heavily influenced by the traditions of medieval jousts and was performed by nobles and other members of the upper classes. Over time, bullfighting became more democratized and was performed by people from all walks of life. Bullfighting reached the height of its popularity in the 19th and early 20th centuries and was considered a national symbol of Spain. However, in recent decades, bullfighting has faced increasing opposition from animal rights activists, and its popularity has declined. Some regions of Spain have banned bullfighting, while others continue to hold bullfights as a cherished tradition. Despite its declining popularity, bullfighting remains an important part of Spanish culture and history, and it continues to be performed in many parts of the country to this day.

I once found myself in an elevator at Magfest with a minor celebrity. I had been at their panel the previous day and had picked up on subtle cues that they were rather uncomfortable and out of place as they worked to satisfy their fans.

I said something approximate to, “I enjoyed your panel. It must be very difficult to meet your fans at their level of energy.” Which was apparently a secret password because the individual just opened right up and poured.

My takeaway from the elevator confessional was summed up in their final line, approximately: “my day job is their passion. How do I admit that I’ve never even played the game?”

This is kind of tangential to the point you’re making, but I was reminded of this because I think fans regularly mistake the end product as a representation of the artist, because often it is. But often it’s just a job. A very demanding job.

The trick to notetaking is to filter quickly and to use just enough structure to get through each project. Unless you are literally maintaining an archive, you aren't taking notes to be a librarian. Most of the things you could copy, you don't need to copy. The things you want to memorize, you want to dwell on artistically. So instead of copying those things legibly, draw them as a blind contour sketch. That transfers the "whole thought" into muscle memory, instead of atomizing it into the discrete symbols.

For shorter term written notes and research documents, I use spreadsheets. They are grids. Grids help organize things into nice cellular chunks. They can contain lots of asset types. I don't actually need the other spreadsheet functions, but if I did want to search my notes, I could export a CSV and write something to quickly filter through it. If I need a cloud spreadsheet there are options, but I've been alright with LibreOffice Calc.

If I only access the notes occasionally(e.g. financial records) or there's a need for intensive ideation then I have a paper spiral notebook. Again, I use grids as a way to add some organization - I got a bundle of A5 grid notebooks off Amazon so that I feel like "I have storage to waste". I also use a color multipen, and most recently I've added sticky notes to the arsenal. The point is to have some hierarchies and categories just already there by default - by position, by color or styling. The sticky notes are currently used as project to-dos that I can remove when done - thus when I look through those books I have a view into just current tasks, and done tasks - not things I said I'd do and didn't. If I need to share, I take a photo.

For on-the-go use I also keep a dollar store bound notebook and two pens(a multi and a fountain) in a fanny pack. I use a binder clip to close it flat and prevent dogearing, and I also keep sticky notes available in a tiny case I found at Daiso.

Notetaking bleeds into home/office organization too. You want to have duplicates for things and pre-divided space so that more of your projects are kept together - tools and notes available without a moment of "where did I put the...". Anything that turns into an unorganized pile with no "reset" state is calling for a space divider or binding of some kind, whether that's something small like a binder clip or manila folder, or large shelf storage, file boxes, etc. Electronic often becomes a huge hindrance for this kind of spatial organization by turning into a dependency gatekeeping information access behind an OS, apps, etc.

Sometimes there are units of info that you want to cross-reference - "plan A vs plan B", "section 2" and the like. For this you can invent short identifier codes or nmemonics. Then as the need arises you can decide how you want to collect and archive them.
Most of those are probably small, "startup" banks.

Training these nets mostly occurs on GPUs. CPUs are often hamstrung by their serial performance (e.g. operations that depend on the output of a previous operation end up stalling instruction pipelines.) GPUs still have a decent amount of room to parallelize and maximize compute.
Bullshit. There are no small businesses here. It's all VC funded. Let them fail. This way hopefully VC slows down. It's insane the amount of money that gets pumped into these disruptors. I don't need another subscription service for something that was not one for 100 years.

Also, it's on them if they only used 1 bank, and worse, it's a bank whose clients are all the same as you. So if there is an industry wide event, you ALL are hosed.

> I've commented elsewhere that I'd be pissed at the moral hazard of unsecured depositors getting a federal bailout

This is a very strange take that I disagree strongly with. There is no such moral hazard, and I would not call depositors being made whole any sort of bailout.

I would argue that one of the most important functions of the government, right alongside national security, is maintaining the illusion that bank deposits == money, and that they are callable on demand at par value for any individual or firm in the country.
Maybe a law on the corporate side would be good? Like you can’t have more than $50mm or 25% of cash (if greater than $10mm) in a single institution for more than a single quarter. (My numbers are not based on anything)

It could also prevent the largest banks from being the only safe place since you can’t park all your cash there.
It's a moral hazard if people over 250K got bailed out in the past. Look up the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.
