Giannis Antetokounmpo, the two-time MVP who last year led the Milwaukee Bucks to their first NBA title since 1971, opened bank accounts with 50 different banks — each one of them holding $250,000, his boss, team owner Marc Lasry, told Bloomberg News.

individual depositors do not by definition have over $250k. they may or may not. the point is that FDIC insurance is nominally up to that amount
I think they meant "unless you're going to say that individual depositors who are being bailed out don't count as regular people because by definition to be in a position where they're affected by the bailout they must have more than $250k" or something like that

This makes me feel so tired

Not only is it incredibly dumb to blame this on the board having a modicum of diversity, rather than say the culture of silicon valley, it feels incredibly close to just saying that we should scapegoat minorities for any problems with the economy.

The author probably hasn't thought it through that far and is just trying to own the libs while making an excuse for silicon valley, but, like imagine if the bank run had actually lead to a major crash in the financial system and the WSJ was publishing an op-ed effectively blaming that on black and LGBT+ people.

and? it's still exactly what you said:

they are literally saying "everyone is insured, no limits" and "we are actively making new accounts and extending loans! no downside!"
"everyone" in that quote clearly specifically means "all banks" based on the alternative that is stated so this press release or whatever it is is not saying that

whether it is somehow bad for the FDIC to encourage more people to put their money in SVB I don't know

Even knowing that I must have been excited when I first started using the google search engine, signed up for gmail, and started using chrome the idea of anyone having any faith in google seems almost incomprehensible at this point

i agree. current-day machine learning is arguably a last gasp of trying to use brute force to solve problems in a way that "scales" without requiring insight, invention, or discovery. insert data, turn the crank, get a solution, hope it's within a reasonable epsilon of acceptable
What evidence do you have that it's a "last gasp" rather in the process of improving?

I don't think anyone was saying that but Shame Boy knew it was because of the previous time it happened and given that he knows it's from that it doesn't seem like it's unreasonable to be unhappy about it so I'm not sure you're helping anything by saying something that sounds a lot like saying they must be overreacting because you couldn't identify that image?

the main thing is that rando made a really dumb avatar purchase that would've been pretty funny in that they wasted their money on the lamest dunk of all time. but all the hand wringing has 100% vindicated their purchase, which is probably not the best outcome.

and that's the part of my post that you keep not getting
who cares if it's "vindicated their purchase". It's a lovely thing to do and if they keep doing it they should be banned or something.
