Just to 2nd waht d4nyll said, try https://app.thestorygraph.com/ or https://hardcover.app/ Both are great for book tracking, and I think Story Graph has better "social features" then most (and the

It is a good question, and I am not sure either.

That isn't a good analogy. Cities have multiple water sources, and it is a very complex system. Not to mention we have special trucks and responses when that happens (at least in the USA). Nuclear has some problems.

The killer app is replacing my giant monitor with this device. When I travel this is a game changer for me. Right now I lug a small second screen so I can work. I will happily drop $5k to fix this problem and just travel with this plus a sm

True but as we need to cut them off, so that seems like a great move over the long term and a little pain now.

True, but 88% is high, this article doesn't seem to make a good case for why the other trends are worrisome... And Russia going insane is probably a good example, where they are shifting their oil direct to local currency since they ha

“The dollar's share of traded currency volumes is just shy of record highs, at 88%, while the euro's share has shrunk by 8 percentage points in the last decade to a record low of 31%. The share of the Chinese yuan, meanwhile, has

It can be good as pain motivates, and hopefully they vote better or cause change vis different policies.

Same here, a lot of my work requires wide screen and traveling means carrying and extra lcd. I hope this tech emerges!

Ya I don't understand that comment, no users go down there when you actually test. It isn't a bad secondary navigation, but kinda odd to say.

The stock market is bipolar daily. Who cares? This affects all banks, as it changes the financial environment. Well-run banks will manage it well. Badly run banks will close. The Fed was faced with a choice, fight inflation or not. They cho

It is only affecting badly run banks it looks like. And yes, their mandate is heavily fighting inflation. There are 4,000+ banks in the USA. Seems ok. Congress can also pass better laws to max size banks if they are concerned.

I just don't think you understand the banking industry... they failed to manage the change in interest yields and lost consumer confidence. The SVB report is damning in terms of poor management and excessive risk-taking that then back

Gotcha, makes sense :)

How? They did perfectly. The bank failed to manage risk. And consumers fled.

I didn't downvote :); that is others, I guess. Right, but the concentration isn't a bad thing just because it is concentrated. It might just be a reflection of the changing nature of the world (globalization, finance changes, etc)

why? IE, why does this matter for HN in your opinion? generally curious as it seems like a non issue Adjusted for inflation is this in the top 10 versus the 80s?

I don't understand, the bank is having a massive run on it and collapsing. Thus the FDIC steps in per the norms of the last 50 years and fixes it. The system works like a charm? How is this bank fine? They have lost confidence and ever

I don't quite get like this is making the front page of HN. Banking system working as intended, FDIC doing a great job like normal.

We should take care of earthlings first. Then we can help the creatures from Venus. I really hate them though because their flag is red.
