That precedent was set at least as far back in the early 90's when they made depositors of Bank of New England Bank whole after it failed in 1991. This isn't something that started with the financial crisis of '08 https:&#x

Because a major component of this is human nature causing bank runs they are betting that by doing this upfront it will be cheaper than not doing it and risking a high number of similar bank runs in the coming month as word spreads it isn&#

If there is something about your job that is making you miserable daily, especially if it effects your mood outside of work definitely make a move. Beware of strongly linking your general happiness to your job generally though. If your ar

It is meant to be cost competitive with Iridium’s Short Burst Data service I believe. Compared to Iridium it is incredibly cheap for similar service.

Swarm was bought by SpaceX a year or two ago. They were originally launching their own micro satellite constellation. Not sure how it works since SpaceX bought them.

That's not what was reported in the news. Sounds more like when the Ohio governor requested federal assistance he was given the cold shoulder. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-admin-turns-down-ohio...

On one hand yes BUT on the other he donated something like $40 million to Democratic Party candidates last cycle. 2nd largest donation. https://fortune.com/2022/11/10/sam-bankman-fried-ftx-joe-bid...

They were all inexperienced is maybe the most plausible explanation. There was reported to be no board of directors and the CEO of the related proprietary trading firm Alameda was only a couple years out of school with one prior year of wo

Helium isn’t truly world wide. Swarm is more like a direct competitor to Iridium Short Burst Data (SBD) service. Works anywhere on the globe. Helium relies on people nearby running a node so it only works where people live and have an in

I don’t understand why the new mail.mil doesn’t have an option for email only without the Office 365 apps. Seems like that would solve the cost issue.

It won't be a big deal. Just like there are apartments without washing machines and people deal with it. The batteries are big enough that you really only need to charge once a week with a good EV and an average amount of driving. T

Seems like the time to short the market was before it crashed. If your were lucky enough to have sold the top it’s probably time to start thinking about buying again.

I’d guess that the fact that they are allowing service you can pause now means that they are probably at break even on the user terminal hardware cost. 1 million terminals shipped means roughly $1 billion a year in revenue. Some customers

This guys thread will almost certainly be wrong and look stupid in the long term. Pessimistic predictions sound smart in the present because with anything new it's hard to know how it will play out. Long term though any early issues

Your statement is false. You can both pause service and sell the equipment to someone else when you no longer need or want it.

Caring for an elderly parent who is in both mental and physical decline can be tough. In any case it is a deeply personal decision without a definitive right or wrong answer. After seeing my Aunt try to care for my grandmother for years onl

Apple also appears to be taking an ownership stake in the company so that probably aligns the incentives and reduces the chance of them cutting and running.

I would guess it’s because the average user just doesn’t use enough ram for it to matter. My current desktop built in 2014 has 64GB and it seems like I never come close to using it all even running multiple virtual machines and things like

“He may not realize he's lying, but he lies constantly.” You have to know what your saying is untrue for something to be a lie. Otherwise it is simply called being wrong.

Would be better if the usb connection was recessed so the plug body wasn’t sticking out like that and the cable could flex better. Would love an option totally without wireless. I like the idea of a high quality compact keyboard.

Transferring funds between agencies or departments is onerous it isn’t substantially easier to do that than just going direct.

How much extra pollution are you going to create hauling around the extra weight of those heavy glass bottles? I think using plastic only for emergencies is perfectly rational and appropriate. Or buy a reusable plastic jug and use that.
