> FDIC insurance doesn't cascade into your customers' accounts, because if it did, you'd be a bank.

It does cascade. It's called pass-through deposit insurance, it's codified in 12 CFR § 330.5 and 330.7. It has existed since the founding of the FDIC. Its enabling statute expressly provided that deposit insurance should be calculated based on the beneficial owners of a deposit account, regardless of in whose name the account is. [0]

Common arrangements include: HSAs, HOA accounts, UTMA/UGMA accounts, guardians and conservators, mortgage servicing accounts, escrow and title agents, payroll processors, brokerage cash sweep programs, prepaid cards, and yes, fintechs. [1]

emilio2601on Jupiter 2 – RVA23-compliant SBC features SpacemiT K3 octa-core RISC-V AI SoC

A couple notes - while the headline says it's an octa-core chip, it actually has 16 cores with different VLENs:

- 8× X100 cores @ 2.4 GHz (general-purpose, VLEN=256)

- 8× A100 cores @ 2.1 GHz ("AI-optimized", VLEN=1024)

By default, programs only run on the X100 cores, but there's a way to start processes on the A100 cores: https://github.com/sanderjo/SpacemiT-K3-X100-A100/blob/main/...

A more detailed write-up on the uarch can be found here (PDF auto downloads): https://forum.spacemit.com/uploads/short-url/60aJ8cYNmrFWqHn...

I believe this is the first RVA23-compliant RISC-V SBC on the market - excited to get my hands on one and test.

> the Porter team made the migration surprisingly easy all things considered

As the second engineer who worked on this migration I'd like to add on to this — the Porter team went above and beyond for us on this process and made it so easy for us.

At first I was wary of all the moving parts we'd have to manage but they took care of a lot of complex things for us and let us have our site running over on Porter very quickly. Even at our not sky-high Heroku spend, the ~3 engineer-months we spent on this are probably paid back by now. Can't recommend them enough.
