A general rule is that you burn about 100 calories in a mile jog. A 12oz can of Coke has about 140 calories, a quarter of a cup of nuts has about 200 calories, an apple has about 100 calories.

Exercise is important for many reasons, but not for preventing obesity. Unless you're running marathons, or exercising like somebody who is, the amount of calories you will burn from exercising will in no way whatsoever compare to what you eat. If you start eating more because you go to the gym, you'll almost certainly end up gaining weight.

The answer today is the same as it's been for thousands of years.
What’s not the same about it? Explain it to me.

Why should I care more about a startup worker who doesn’t get a paycheck next week than a taxi driver who can no longer feed his family because of new market entrants or a laid off machinist in an industry struggling to compete with subsidized overseas labor.

Make it simple I’m dumb and think each of them has the same claim on human dignity and a financial safety net.
I get what you’re saying, but how many well-intentioned startups have imploded and ran out of money the day before payday due to some unlikely risk? Lots (I was in 1-2 of them). Should we also try to salvage them?

“Well-reputed bank” is not the same as zero risk money management. Look at the fine print of every one of those business checking accounts and you see there is clearly some risk, including loss of capital if you’re over the $250k limit. Everyone who has a retirement account in money markets at a “well-reputed bank” knows about this risk, so how can we let the CFO slide on finance risk management that was clearly their most important responsibility? Business continuity insurance, lines of credit, investor infusion, etc. Debt sales, etc. There are ways to get around an unexpected cash crunch.

But there’s no excuse for not knowing the risk and expecting a $1M checking account to work like your personal checking account. This was the CFOs job at every one of the companies that is now in a crunch.

I don't buy it. Tolerance towards fatness has risen since the 80s, as have weights; both have gone up at the same time. The more tolerance our society has for fatness, the fatter people get. If more tolerance for fat people were the key to getting people to lose weight then there should be an inverse relationship between the two, but that just hasn't happened.

You can purchase insurance for excess deposits. Businesses that have to keep large amounts of cash on hand routinely do this.
The problem is is that the amount of debt is percentage of GDP, and therefore the interest rates that we need to pay are significantly higher now. This kind of analysis is hopelessly naïve without taking into account overall macro situation.
Given that their liabilities excess their assets by a few billions, there's even less than zero in there.

I absolutely agree the FDIC limit should go way up.

> The disagreement if there is one is the 250k+, why should there be an exception just because these are tech startups?

That's not what I'm suggesting, nor is it what I think most people who think depositors should be made whole are suggesting. In basically any bank run scenario in which depositors had behaved reasonably (which is like 99% of companies putting their money in banks), I would support depositors being made whole. Regardless of the specifics of the situation, I think the upside of maintaining our collective faith that bank deposits are safe is much larger than the downside of whatever needs to be done to achieve that.
Halfway there! Keep it up and you'll be healthy in no time.
> Maybe EBPF is in that vein?

Not just that :) It was "inspired by". Well, it's the same idea.

> The notion of "pausing" the system to step through things interactively was usually untenable.

That's not what EBPF would be used for in such a system. You'd write a bit of code that can be loaded into a running program and executed as a particular condition occurs. Like how you can attach some code to evaluate on a breakpoint in many other debuggers.
It does mean you can't fight it with little advocacy groups or well-meaning think tanks. According to history, you need a strong labor movement led by principled socialists.

> BMI

You don't need to look at BMI, or any number besides fat % for that matter, to see we have a massive fucking issue. If your belly protrudes far enough that you can't see your own feet, big boned or not, you're obese

Obesity is BMI 30+, unless you're a semi-pro/pro athlete or have genetic defects at 30+ BMI you're definitely fat af, here are examples of 30 BMI: https://www.lipedema.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Obesity-...

There is absolutely no chance you have a 30+ BMI because of "big bones"

When Apple Music launched and updated the UI few versions later I thought Spotify has an upper hand with its simpler UI and better discovery of music. They somehow managed to make their UI worse. Incredible how companies that become popular because of their simpler UI down the road make it complicated and worse.
Monday, FDIC allows $250k. Let's say within the same week they're able to provide 50% of the depoits back. There are still many companies that will not survive waiting +3 months for the other potential remaining 50%.

With 4-bit quantization it will take 15 GB, so it fits easily. On 96 GB you can not only run 30b model, you can even finetune it. As I understand, these model were trained on float16, so full 30b model takes 60 GB of RAM
I think there are several reasons:

1. Historically being fat was considered a sign of good health. Of course, this was during times of massive food scarcity and the definition of fat was probably very different from what we consider fat today.

2. Massive amounts of money involved in telling people to eat/drink more, and then spend more money in gyms and taking pills to lose that weight. As opposed to just eating less and then living normal healthy active lives. There’s not much money in the latter.

3. People wanting to stop fat-shaming (which is also unequivocally bad…fat shaming only makes it harder for people to lose weight), trying to convince other people that someone being fat does not make them bad, quickly morphing into being fat is good.

You’re right that full ID checks happen (I think? Ryanair force a visa check for all non EU/EEA passengers, nothing to do with CTA. What happens on AerLingus/BA? I think they just check ID, not visas)

But non-British/non-Irish do benefit from and indirect make use of the CTA though.

They arrive as domestic passengers in to the UK from Ireland and therefore they do not enter the UK in the same manner as passing through border control.

Also, if they were in a certain visa situation in the UK (eg spouse visa renewal) where leaving the UK would automatically revoke their UK visa application, AIUI, they can still travel to CTA without having their application revoked.

What do you mean practically when you say they’re not meant to make use of it? They’re meant to fly Dublin-Paris-Manchester? At MAN they bus you to domestic and boom you’re in the UK. They have no choice.

Edit: It’s clear there are provisions in place for the direct benefit of Irish and UK citizens, but due to practicalities etc that others get fringe benefits too.
good for me, I never update.
Interesting finding, thank you.
Yea, being obese isn't health in any way shape or form. Unless you have some sort of exceptional physique that takes you out of the common medical model. You probably don't have that.

I fucking hate it. I have at least managed to get under a 40 BMI its a huge slog to even get try to get down to only overweight. And even then in realistic terms even if I do, its 100% impossible to stay there over your lifetime after being obese. Age will just catch up with you.

I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
In most cases depositors recover 90% or higher.

Insured deposits are paid on first day the bank opens. More than 50% of uninsured deposits are paid within a week. Another 20% or so gets paid within a year or sooner in quarterly installments. Remaining amount gets paid in yearly installments and in all cases was paid within 3 years.

Haircut is guaranteed in this political climate since there is no appetite for a bailout. At least not for SVB. The later ones could be bailed out but SVB is a goner.
It does. SVB is preferred by startups because they do things that other banks won't, riskier things. It's not the same as any old bank.
This seems pretty knee-jerk, especially given,
that the current glances that the business was probably too conservatively managed. The problem here was not holding safe assets - but the value of the government bonds depreciating dramatically because of the rising interest rates and a flush supply of higher interest rates due to massive government deficit spending. It’s also a reflection of the extremely aggressive mark to market rules that have been put in place.

You can make a very solid argument at the risk here is actually risk that was forced into these companies by the government.
Before demonizing short sellers was a thing there was demonizing speculators.
YC doesn’t make you keep your money anywhere, they don’t even suggest any place or even say anything about startup banking (unless you were to ask one of the partners for advice). Even a cynical take would suggest they’d prioritize their portcos who launched banks for startups (like Brex), but even still in my experience they haven’t even done that.
Maybe the take should be that like you scale your infrastructure and put it in different regions, maybe your banking should be treated the same way, it doesnt require you to be an analyst, it is just another way of covering your bases.
Java is frequently a good example (but not the only one). For some reason many senior Java developers abuse OO principles, and make sure that when they throw an exception from Hello World, the stacktrace won't fit on the screen. Those lines are not free: each abstraction layer adds extra cpu cycles, and uses bytes on the stack.

I absolutely think that depositors should be made whole - and - they will.

At the same time, I think a lot of the VCs who systematically talked shit about government regulations while trying to shill crypto as a solution should very publicly eat crow. I won't lie: it will give me a great deal of personal satisfaction, but, it will also make any "bailout" (or, whatever you want to call it ) a much easier lift politically.
the depositors shouldn't get paid beyond what remains of the assets of the bank!!!
I feel like there is some disconnect. Maybe I don't understand your question

I was answering why startups need a bank, and it isn't just for loans.
The most basic needs for an account is so that you can 1) store the money you get from VCs, 2) pay your employees, 3) receive payments from customers.

Do you see why a company needs a bank account?

Without a bank you need to operate in cash and have a room somewhere full of physical cash with guards, ect.
Somewhat completely off topic, but with interest rates "skyrocketing" compared to recent history, would it be feasible to "buy back" one's fixed rate debt? Or sensible?
One important aspect is that we may be embedded in a vicious circle of discontinuity events and smoothing. A broad expectation that smoothing will be applied after a discontinuity event will tend to make people more willing to accept the future risk of discontinuity events in their decision making.

Less risk-avoiding behavior regarding discontinuity events makes discontinuity events more likely. Then, when the next discontinuity event happens, if smoothing is again applied, it reinforces this expectation, which reinforces the probability of future discontinuities, etc.

For this reason, swearing off active smoothing could actually result in a smoother system, eventually (after the pain of transition, of course).
You've missed the point of BMI. It's a population metric. The application of it to the individual really only works in the edges (too skinny, too fat) where it becomes obvious. I've never seen a BMI confidence interval (doctors are bad at statistics) but I would imagine the 95% CI would reveal the exact thing you stated. I am an example of this as well. By DEXA I measure at ~19% bodyfat yet my BMI is 27.6. However, it has never been a problem of misdiagnosis and a doctor has never been compelled to bring up my weight.

This argument you're presenting is used by the "fat positivity" movement to discourage the use of population measures that ARE effective in creating useful statistical analysis of health risks. Like all animals humans are subject to the laws of physics. When you have more mass per unit height your body has to work harder. If you then go on and continue to add or maintain this mass you develop health problems. You don't need an MD to see the intention of the metric nor the absurdity of promoting fatness as a "positive" trait. The only thing this reveals is that the progressives have gaslighted society into believing a lie by using "science" as a kudgel to beat you into compliance with.

It is if you have funds over the FDIC limit. There are services that take care of that for you, there are many standard practices that exist to protect against this, all were ignored.

Of course it does..

Why would they not?
... that's what banks do, they just do it at scale. So you want every person to be their own bank?

Why not just let the FDIC do their job, trust in the banking system and save yourself the trouble of worrying about a bank run.

The VCs put money into a startup and encouraged them to engage in risky banking practices. If these startups succeed the VCs get a payout, if they fail they get nothing.

A taxpayer-funded bailout of the depositors is socialized risk, privatized reward. Why should the taxpayers stand for that?

Minus the “purchased” part. He just wants it.
Thinking of the Reddit redesign: depends what you mean by "works".

Does it work for end users? As long as too many don't leave or are replaced by new users who didn't know any better, who cares?

If it encourages people to download an app instead of using a broken web UI, allowing for better data collection and monetization, then it "works" just fine.
The VCs caused the run on the bank is what I'm reading.
That LITERALLY exists.

You're already footing the bill if you have insurance; it's the same thing.

And these beliefs are a consequence of for-profit healthcare.

If socialized healthcare was a reality, there would be a big incentive for having a lean population. We don't have that today, because there is profit to be made.
Hi! Curious if you know and can share why Spotify does not allow removing items from the listening history? Are their AI models so crazy huge that editing history would cost them billions to recompute?

Nothing screeched to a halt. Money stopped flowing as freely as it once did. The layoffs are relatively massive, but the companies involved are still enormous organizations. Things have slowed down, and things are fraying at the edges, but the economy is still largely fine. This is the intended outcome of the present monetary policy.
Is 4 bits too small? Or is the quantization method just not sophisticated enough.

Yes.

Every big bank[x] has to submit daily risk reports. If those reports are late by more than (IIRC) 48h, they feel the consequences. Then there are end-of-week, end-of-month, and end-of-quarter reports too.

The daily reports may take a couple of hours to run. Spread across a compute grid of few thousand cores. I work for a company that provides a quant analysis and computation platform for financial institutions. We tend to skip our weekly client-facing code promotion at the end of quarter, to make it absolutely sure that there are no unexpected changes that could mess up their gargantuan report runs.

I do expect interest payments from any money of mine that's not in my physical posession. Checking accounts don't pay interest so I don't use them. They're just a temporary register for my "pay bills" and "invest" operations.
Very little of these discussions have anything to do with serious policy debate. They're a prism through which the whole site† filters their preexisting beliefs about venture capital and the startup industry. When you internalize that, it's much easier to look at an 800-comment third- or fourth- order HN thread about SVB and just nope out. There are no stakes to these threads. They're just here because the community needs to vent its reaction to the news and its valence.

I'm also aware that Spotify sounds bad. That might be part of the reason I don't use it?

I think you'd benefit from a world view with more nuance than tribes of enlightened LP buyers versus ignorant Spotify subscribers.

No, but I understand the phrase “be made whole” to mean that depositors should not face the risk of losing that 20-30%. They should take some “hit” as OP put it above.

If the fraction was to stay constant deposits would increase as fast as loans.

In fact the problem of the US banking system in the last years has been that deposits have been increasing much faster than loans.
