Remember that gift we gave you because we’re such a great company to work for? Yeah, we’re going to need you to destroy that. And come in on Saturday.

This is HN though. Shouldn’t we pull out all of our VC money from JPMorgan Chase, just to be safe? Tell all your friends.

I think you’re not accounting for the density of Tokyo dropping. By the 4th millennium there will only be five Japanese people left, two of them catgirls.

If lunar colonies aren’t very challenging, why aren’t there hundreds by now?

Japanese is a wonderful language for puns. Not only do they have homophone puns (so many homophones) and rhyming puns, but also visual puns like Katamari Damacy 塊魂.

Under this definition, every non-central bank would become insolvent if subjected to the same conditions as SVB. If you take away $42B in one day in withdrawals, every single bank no longer pay its debts to depositors. Which is fine but not

As much as I agree with the first half of your statement, the climate impacts of crypto far outstrip the genocide-inducing effects of social media.

Nah, we in NATO don’t blame landlocked countries with small economies for having, well, ambiguous relations with nearby Russia. It’s the places that have a choice, like Serbia, India, and Hungary, that are at risk of moving themselves onto

I see it the other way around. The VCs started a panic. Name one other bank that could survive $42 billion in withdrawals in a single day. Other than Bank of Zimbabwe, obviously. Even Wells and JP Morgan would collapse under that strain. Th
