FYI, all major banks switched off of fractional reserve banking more than a decade ago and have moved to another system that uses a multitude of different variables.

This is absolutely not how the stock market works. Market cap is not based on book value.

Indeed. The situation was caused by a combination of the reckless investing that SVB did, the FED failing to raise interest rates earlier, and irresponsible amounts of government spending.

This makes complete sense, however, why would big banks not want to compete against SVB by establishing a smaller division that handles startups? Obviously, the market is small compared to their usual markets, but there is still a lot of go

I have always wished that companies would tie their status pages to their monitoring systems, but alas, they don't due to PR concerns and overall disingenuousness.

Additionally, it's not quite right when the author compares YouTube to TikTok as direct competitors. I have used YouTube to learn an insanely great amount of new things which range from programming to car and home repairs. You cannot d

Sorry, but you cannot just add percentages together. If you lay off 11% from X and then lay off 17% from what you have remaining, the total amount laid off is not 28%. It does not quite work like that.

Occupy Wall street was not really about equality of opportunity. It was more about equality of outcome.

This is the type of equality of opportunity that is worth fighting for rather than the racist type which included acts such as affirmative action.

I have worked in the solar industry. As a reference, the average efficiency of "normal" solar panels is around 16% today.

What a gross trivialization of the chip design process. If all a company had to do was get first in line for TSMC's process, Intel would drop all their fabs and just pay that money to TSMC to beat AMD.

It's just another basic economic effect of having too much money supply in the system. Governments printing too much money at a fast rate is the core reason of why inflation happens.

Unfortunately, what they delivered was also extremely underwhelming. I expected something that would at least be a mid-range GPU, but they ended up releasing trash tier casual gamer cards. I do not believe that was their intent. AMD and Nvi

Not only have they become compromised from a technical standpoint, for some searches in particular, the results have been modified to be heavily politically biased and woke.

ChatGPT has become the place that people go when they don't want to write something and don't know what to write. It's not unlikely that Jennifer Tejada used ChatGPT.

If you look at it percentage wise, it is probably not a 50/50 split if you know what I mean.

That's because it's not a widely accepted term by any measure. I am all for Taiwan and its liberties, however, I cringe whenever I see journalists have made up a new term like "silicon shield" and expect people to adopt

Airlines also do it to prevent people from "gaming" the system. People buy multi leg tickets and miss parts of the flights purposely in order to get higher airline status and points, or just to get to one city cheaper. Sometimes,

You perfectly illustrate the problem with typical western thinking. The workers you refer to may be low paid when compared to the US and other western countries, but they are highly paid in their respective countries. A lot of the time, the

To a cynical curmudgeon, it is a pyramid scheme for 100% of startups. To normal people, it is a pyramid scheme when you have a company like Theranos, which represents a very small percentage of dishonest founders in technology, overall.

It's also an "open secret" that investors lose their investment when the founder fails. In addition, more than 90% of VCs are money losers, overall. Founders are taking the risk with their time, investors are taking risk with

Living in a place where electricity costs are very high, such as California, the AMDs have much better price to performance when compared to the Intel CPUs over a period of 3-5 years (which is how long I normally wait before upgrading CPUs)

As an SF resident for over a decade, it is absolutely accurate. SF was not as much like this before, but over the past 15 years, it has become an absolute hive of scum and villainy. I am not joking about this at all, several times I have se
