The best quip I saw was some saying they'd changed their name from Credit Suisse to Debit Suisse.

This will destroy the boiler plate industry. So bye javascript, it's not been nice. What will stay, is human level systems engineering, Running things, designing etc. And for a very long time, you're going to have to check AI&#x27

I don't think people make that distinction in their lived felt experience. Mods == Reddit.

All this does is change how you go about getting computers to work for you. Someone off the street still needs to know how to express themselves correctly to get a result that's not crap. And they don't know what they don't

Well every subreddit is run by a small group of despots. So I would expect that's who they are talking about in a sense.

Go watch the launch of the metaverse and consider who would actually want to spend time and money there. Meta is trying to own vr like apple owns it's app store. But apple make a great set of products, that I don't like personall

Soon you'll all be fighting for your jobs. Many of you will be dying for your jobs. A few of you will be forced through a fine mesh screen for your jobs. They will be the luckiest of all. -- Zuck probably. I feel like 10K people are ta

You're talking about the gold standard, there's better things to do with gold. These crisis are like car crashes, they happen. But in the end, it's still fun to drive cars really fast, overloaded on wet, winding roads at twi

They did make ventilators at scale. Covid's a bad example IMO, mostly because there was and is so much politics around the issue that there wasn't really a concerted push from government at the time. From the outside the administr

Yes you're correct. Another poster has detailed the process, but most of the depositors monies will be paid back in due time.

by gonzo41 4y ago
Yes, it's share holders who will realize the loss. Anyone owed money by the bank, ie depositors is now in a line to be paid as the FDIC sells everything and pays out the obligations.

I didn't say totally whole, i said largely whole. Everyone will get at least 250K, and then probably something like 75-85% of what ever else they had relatively quickly and then who knows.

There's strategic reasons to have those companies beyond they employ a stack of people. The US sees the big auto makers through they eyes of a country that needed at one point to start manufacturing around 100,000 bombers to fight in a

SVB probably has enough assets to make most depositors largely whole, but it'll take time. Shareholders are going to wear a total loss. Which sucks for them but this is part of share market game. I suspect cooler heads will not prevail

SVB was in the top 20 banks in the US. It was a big bank.

You see mods on reddit go on ego trip ban spree's all the time. It's classic 90's mod meltdown stuff. I don't think subscribing to a benevolent master is a good model. What happens if their gaze turns to you? Moderation

Same effect happens with newspapers. Check your sources.

I usually don't block adds on my work computer. As I'm not really assaulted by retail adds on the regular work sites.

A tiktok / short would be better, because yes you could show the effect, show the button, and then show the studios. Watch the Insider Business shorts, they are great example for exactly this style of stuff.

by gonzo41 4y ago
Yes. This could be a killer youtube short/tiktok etc, or better a NPR short. But without all those words those banner adds would look lonely.

The federal state has a bigger monopoly on violence. You think the FBI would step in?

It's actually kind of amazing that there's not any real consequence to making that bad call. It sucked up a lot of energy, lots of people tried to stake and early adopter position in the metaverse and it turns out everyone just di

When the b-52 aircraft retires it will have been flying for about 100 years. I can't think of software system that has the same longevity. Maybe a credit card mainframe written in cobol. But what JS developer is going to learn that the

Neoliberal economic policy is an ideology that only needs to work out for the first generations of neoliberals. After that they've 'got their's' and everyone else gets' to deal with the consequences. Example: See th

I tend to agree. One way to ease that pain is for apple to make itself a supplier to others rather than the supplier and consumer of it's own parts. A top of the line iPhone costs ~$500 to 1000 bucks! why not try and go after the middl
