I'm not sure if it's tied to a specific repeal, but letting them keep the MBS at face value on their books is an obvious mistake in hindsight.

Also in retrospect they were likely insolvent or at best barely capitalized at the end of last year. Probably should have been pushed into receivership or forced to recapitalize then.

"Small business depositors at Silicon Valley Bank should be made whole."

Don't beat around the bush. You are asking for these depositors to be bailed out. "Depositors" is a weaselly way to say "companies that my friends and I have major equity positions in."

If these are great businesses, they'll find financing. Current equity holders will suffer a loss. That's how it's supposed to work. Eat your lumps and don't go begging for a bailout for your foolish risk taking and lack of due diligence.

Understandably you're trying to maximize the value of the equity that you and your friends own. But it's a bad look to pretend this is about workers paying their mortgages. If that's what you cared about you'd be signing a petition for mortgage forbearance or some other direct-to-worker bailout.

Stop lying. It's transparent and pathetic.

Show HN: Use QR code to send data to phone easily - Easytophone.com
Hello,

I created a web site where you can send text, calendar events and file to your phone easily.

Once the data is submitted, it shows a QR code where you can scan it with your phone. Tapping on the QR code will direct you to easytophone.com and the data download will start.

In terms of technology there is not much new or exciting. But maybe it will be useful for you?

I plan to show some ads in the future. Maybe have a paid option for larger files. Maybe API service??

Do you think there is a potential for some meaningful usage?

Do you see anything that can be improved?

This should work fine on iPhone. I haven't tested it on Android yet.

Any input is welcome!! Thank you!

From SVB's perspective, customer deposits are liabilities.

So your statement is true about SVB paying its employees. But it's equally true about SVB doing wire transfer for its customers.

When SVB 'sends' money to an account at another bank (whether that account belongs to a startup or to an SVB employee), SVB tells the other bank the amount and the account number. The other bank debits SVB's account at that bank for that amount. The funds don't 'come from' deposits (which are liabilities) but from balances SVB holds at other banks.
The GitHub documentation doesn't explain how to set it up. It only mentions TOTP apps in a smart phone.

They don't define what an "attack" is, nor show any examples, nor provide data. But digging into the source, it says "35% was designed to undermine her credibility as a journalist or commentator" -- ah, so you aren't allowed to even question a journalist's credibility (and it's "violence").

If they had held 3-month treasuries instead of 10-year bonds, the bank run would have been a non-issue since they could have liquidated the treasuries at the same price as they were listed on SVB's books.

They didn't become insolvent because of the bank run. The bank run exposed the fact that they were already insolvent.

If the securities can be easily liquidated then there's really no economic loss for these guys going under. The real economic cost of a bank run is the early liquidation of good firms. If all these small and medium banks just have to sell their liquid treasuries or MBS portfolios then no big deal. Whatever working capital they're providing is pretty straightforward for some other financial institution to provide. The rest is just transfers from one party to another, no need to intervene.
> But what bank can survive a bank run?

Not all banks are equally likely to have a bank run.

China for example restricts banks from being over exposed to a single sector, so the rapid collapse of an industry does not trigger liquidity issues as badly ad those that hit SVB.

Not dodd-frank or Basel 3 required this tho.
Indeed. Which is what has diluted this conversation so heavily. Everyone wants to point at the tech Startups using SVB for boring banking as the why (and the "I told you VC was a bubble") instead of the 2008 style wall St gambling the bankers engaged in using tech startup money. The VCs might be responsible for the bank run but they aren't why the bank made stupid mortgage investments and ultimately failed.
What other banks have the same issue?
Public companies file public records, so yes, it is public.

And First Republic Bank looks like it could be the next to fail, likely within days, barring intervention. Without a systemic backstop the runs will almost certainly continue

The FDIC kinda reminds me of one of the few bureaucracies in the US that:

a) serve the American people (and not some shadowy cabal of billionaires intent on squeezing the average Jane and Joe in every conceivable way via capturing the tools of the state)

b) is staffed by people who are extremely qualified and truly enjoy their job (compared to the DMV in most states...)

It reminds me of this America in Decay essay [0], which goes over the rise and fall of truly great political institutions in the US before they became captured by conflicting interests, nepotism, and outright double dealing (think: revolving door between SEC and finance; don't want to put the screws too closely to your next potential employer). The FDIC is one of the last from that era it seems.

> I'm far from a crypto expert so could you clarify what I'm missing?

USDC isn't an algorithmic stablecoin or backed by non-cash assets. It is a coin that is redeemable 1:1 for cash, always. They have approximately $40b in coins and is only "short" $3.3b. Right now the first 91% to redeem can still get a full dollar, not everyone who redeems gets 91 cents.

People who have no idea how it works are panic selling fearing a crash. Other people are buying up as much as they can because you're effectively selling someone a dollar bill for 95 cents, a deal I'd take every day.

>I am not sure if you were aware, but there are a lot of houses in the world.

>In comparison, there aren't nearly as many high end, elite educational institutions.

The college enrollment rate is under 70%, and I am not sure if you were aware, but the percentage of people in homes is much greater than this.

I mean, you just proved the point I was making. High-end, elite, Division 1 schools overwhelmingly offer athletic scholarships, vs not offering them. Stanford, Duke, Northwestern, and UC Berkeley have greater student enrollment than all the ivy leagues combined. People always try to do mental gymnastics with some "any non-Ivy League is by definition not an elite school" but using any objective ranking measure, just add Georgetown, UCLA, Notre Dame, UNC, Michigan, and suddenly the enrollment of athletic-scholarship-offering schools are >10x that of the ones that don't offer them.

You're making rather wild unsubstantiated claims at this point ("# houses > # schools == ivy leagues have greater impact") after repeatedly failing to demonstrate how HOA is not a good analogy to this situation. Comically these claims are completely false - over 25% of the USA lives in HOA communities, but nowhere near that many D1 schools (and even less by enrollment) does not offer athletic scholarships. Congrats, you inadvertently proved that Ivies not giving academic scholarships has a negligible effect, especially compared to housing.

Probably not, SVB’s exposure was unique in that most investments during 20-21 were in crypto and web3.

Both those technologies have yet to see real revenue… so in turn, lots of companies have been drawing down their balance for the last 18 months without 1. Making money or 2. Raising more.

TLDR the amount of money invested in speculative and unrealized companies led to unique exposure for svb

It's a fairly straightforward conclusion that most visible stars are more massive than the Sun. Star mass directly affects the fusion reaction rates at the core, which in turn directly affects the luminosity and the lifetime of the star.

The brightest stars can even shine through dust clouds (or simply emit enough radiation to ionise and dissipate them altogether).

(Space) telescopes can see far dimmer magnitudes than can the human eye at sea level, so more Sun-like stars and red dwarfs show up considerably more easily, given these star types (K and M types) emit strongly in the infrared, which the Earth itself blots out).
That pretty much implies ALL deposits are insured, not just up to 250k. Which can’t be true because there really isn’t that much money to backstop all deposits across all banks.

My last flight LGW-DXB-SYD-ADL was delayed 2 hours in DXB, which meant I couldn't make my SYD-ADL flight. We had to fly SYD-MEL-ADL, with layovers in between, adding an extra 8 hours to our already very long flight.

I would definitely prefer to cut out one stop by taking LHR-DOH-ADL, LHR-PER-ADL, or this proposed LHR-SYD-ADL because of this. (Also because Emirates had disappointing service.)

Google flights says LHR-PER-ADL has 14% lower emissions than LHR-DOH-ADL. No data for LHR-SYD-ADL given it doesn't exist yet.

no, it can't be mutated by events. The hooks only react to inputs in the side channel and only during execution.

If you attach an event handler, that "attaching" is an effect and executed outside the rendering. If the handler changes some state of the context, a rerender is triggered.
Another thing which comes to mind, you can try enabling or disabling p-states, intel_pstate=enable/disable in the kernel parameters for grub. If memory serves if cpu-freqinfo gives you a list of governors that means pstates are disabled, if they are enabled you will just get two governors at most. P-states work well with some configurations and cause issues with others. Been awhile since I have had to deal with this but I have one laptop that did have issues with p-states enabled, things would run hot and I would get glitches and laptop would just crash under very heavy loads, disabling p-states solved it. My other laptop would never get to speed and was very sluggish unless p-states was enabled.

I have not had to deal with this sort of thing since I gave up rolling release distro so I do not remember the exact details.

Not privy to their financial management, but it's unlikely that they keep billions of dollars in cash. How it usually works when you have huge piles of legit cash coming in is, you buy short duration T-Bills that you keep rolling over and/or money market funds. The richer you are, the less actual cash you need. When you have excellent credit and incoming cash flow, you barely need any actual cash to pay people; you just need to issue an IOU or have your bank advance the cash for you.
Or maybe it's a problem with people railing against the stack pretending it doesn't solve any problems in at least 1 thread per day.
