   In this situation, the reserve bank absolutely should take over SVB's assets and liabilities, that is what its for and what it can do easily and painlessly. The govt is not involved and no tax dollars are involved. No customer of SVB s

   GPT isn't really a conversing entity. Hey AI whateveryournameistoday, if you can reply here without human assistance then do it.

   Have loved every Civ since 1 but it seems theres certain fetures that they'll never change/improve like battles and wonders. I also thought the graphics in 6 were a backwards step and the world council too much of a break in the f

   You also need to live somewhere where there are sperm banks. Lots of countries don't have them.

   I don't think any philosophy is comprehensive enough to include all of mathematics and any partially complete choice is going to be subjective. You could even replace math with "x" and come to the same conclusion.

    I agree. Its like Jay Leno asking kids geography questions and televising 5 wrong answers.

    I think you have 4 eggs left. You broke 2 which means you cracked the shell and got the part you cook out. You fried those eggs and ate them. You still have 4 eggs. The trick is the word "broke". Normally if you break something yo

    I would hope those regulating the financial system would have enough sense without having to first witness real people losing billions in savings.

    It doesn't feel like a recession but something is wrong. Our "go hard, go early" approach to covid meant we avoided a lot of tragedy but the govt printed that money. Now we're having an inflation shock leading to an inte

    When I was a kid we had 2 clocks and they had to be changed manually. Now we have clocks everywhere and some change by themselves and some dont. I think the whole world should be on one timezone all the time. The numbers are artificial any

    47M. Have been having nightmares about the last year of highschool for about 20 years. TIL other people do too. I think its due to the anxiety felt at that time without the adult ability to recognise that anxiety. This was 1992 in New Zeala

    I was thinking of something more like Drake's equation. P = T * Hbar * Cbar^Dh * E * (Po)^N P = Productivity T = Tiredness Hbar = 2 PI/(HackerNews posts read) Cbar = 2 PI/(speed of light) Dh = Disruptions per hour E = Environ

    Before you watch this video again or another one like it I'd like you to think hard about how the victims' relatives feel about this video existing. Peace be with you.

    This may be a stupid question but what happens when two users update data in the same block? Also, does every update send an entire block over the wire?

    I'm not so sure, living paycheck to paycheck doesn't mean you have no discretionary spending at all. Maybe you have $500 a month for one off expenses and you already used up this months on a laptop for you kid at school or somethi

    But seriously, I wonder if the "clump of human brain cells" gets tired or needs to sleep or, need any other nourishment. The COHBC might learn faster but can it then keep playing at the same level 24/7? edit: disclaimer, I am
