I'm unironically thinking about expanding my rock collection so I'm glad I'm not the only one on SA that does. :respek:

the phrasing here is driving me unreasonably nuts. no one would say it that way. Banks periodically lose, they don’t lose periodically!!!

lol petey trying to kick off a bank run

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-09/founders-fund-advises-companies-to-withdraw-money-from-svb posted:

Founders Fund, the venture capital fund co-founded by Peter Thiel, has advised companies to pull money from Silicon Valley Bank amid concerns about its financial stability, according to people familiar with the situation.

The firm told portfolio companies that there was no downside to removing their money from the bank, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public.

Shares of SVB Financial Group, the bank’s parent, plunged on Thursday after announcing a stock offering, selling substantially all of the available-for-sale securities in its portfolio and updating its forecast for the year to include a sharper decline in net interest income.

SVB Chief Executive Officer Greg Becker held a conference call on Thursday advising Silicon Valley Bank clients to “stay calm” amid concern about the bank’s financial position, according to a person familiar with the matter.

I’m not surprised. no editor is number one in my list of might have good/big ideas, is too much of a dumbshit to realize when you’re wrong and/or arrogant. worthless in the end

also, do you really think it's a good idea to go loving around directly in post tables? in the database comprised at least 50% of undocumented bitfields?

-rewrite tweet url client-side to some new thing that archives the tweet
- every tweet that gets posted gets archived by that thing on demand
- run a crawler to hit every forum page or whatever and the on demand thing converts the tweets
- no need to gently caress with the stored posts at all

ok I've read Matt Levine's newsletter now and it's just a straight up squeeze caused by their own model and interest rate changes so for a company "at the bleeding edge" they've sure failed in an old school way

e: and with zero retail deposits they've got no cushion against it *and* all their customers are massively correlated so if one starts pulling cash because they flushed the rest of theirs down the toilet, they probably all will
