what the hell are you even talking about? what is an "interesting" banking function. I have been a banking client as a regular person and with big banks and sell side brokerages and they were all focused on facilitating our business. if you want stability and not to have your shit taken by cartels when you get big enough to be noticed, you have to operate in a jurisdiction with law and order and rules. there are no "interesting" startups in places with no rules.
these specialist banks are not worth much, there is no retail banking advantage to having tech companies as clients. the individual people who run the companies are most likely already wealth management clients of the same banks that might acquire SVB.
this is chilling. thank you I guess for completely dropping any pretenses here. this system of well-roundedness was, as other people have alluded previously, invented to exclude high achieving ethnic groups ( as per the perception of the in-group ) from overrunning elite institutions of learning. this system is being employed to cap Asian admissions.
he called the market then, very well, he told you when to get out, I watched it. he said I just sold my beach house, get flat. I told my friends to get flat the week before.
they shot the balloons as theater to show they are tough on balloons after the political opposition started hassling them about the balloon, I wouldnt call it a panic
at population level critical thinking is a dangerous hero myth. AI shows us clearly that our own faculties are very limited and there is no individual defense against propaganda and lies.
the public interest is dead, look at the sentiment here on HN. everyone has taken red pills from either Peter Thiel, Joe Rogan, or some influencer at the listener's socio-economic level, who propagandizes them about the Individual and how you cant trust anyone but other bros who also dont trust anyone.
I think the china balloon incident became political very quickly and then the political part of our government decided to ask the defense department to clean up things that we have previously been accepting as unexplained but acceptable becasue they were not attributable to state actors. a UAP that isnt owned by China or any other country that is just hanging out, I think we previously were letting them hang out.
