In addition to Eevblog and other great resources mentioned, the two things that helped me most with that are the Phil’s Lab YouTube channel and Arlektra educational kit: - https://m.youtube.com/c/phils94 - https:&#x2F

Plus, given that the auction was about getting rid of the increasingly weird 25% equity holder, it’s not a far stretch to assume that the minority guy just rigged the auction with „who do I know who I could talk into starting a fake bidding

Oh, surprising re Signature, but 100% backstop should calm things down. Any fiat <-> crypto rails left in the US, after the FDIC buries SEN on, I dunno, Tuesday?

Curious if anyone knows if SVB would have been eligible on Thursday? https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/12/201.108 is the list of supported collateral.

There … is? Right below that there’s another bracket of “trying to tweet through it”, a lot of the folks behind the We Support An SVB Successor thing, which then, as Paul Graham did, lectured people that they can’t really do anything becaus

One of those rare opportunities to clearly assess VCs from the outside, and surprisingly good steady reaction by him and Khosla. Who else?

Tempted to come up with a market manipulation angle, but actually great question. If eg Founders Fund put on a decent short right before mailing the portfolio, I wonder how one could pierce through a “how’s that different from Hindenburg &#

Great question and no idea. They’re sophisticated cats and thus guess the answer is “the deal is whatever you can negotiate with them.” But it wouldn’t be very likely that anyone would give you the same terms for a junior tranche. Not inves

+1 re LTCM resolution, also great example. I’d rather hope that in the unlikely event of there being no private market buyer(s) and a public solution becoming necessary, that lawmakers will at least force some wider ecosystem stakeholders t

It is, but if that’s how you apply it to your partner who built 4 decades worth of plumbing that underpins your community, then stuff falls apart.

Good point, and obviously not a great time for SVB equity holders or EVE sensitivity regulation, but looking through their 10Ks or Marc Rubenstein’s great math yesterday at https://www.netinterest.co/p/the-demise-of-sil

NPR had an excellent story of how a bank takeover and wind-down works back in 2009: https://www.npr.org/2009/03/26/102384657/anatomy-of-a-bank-t... “On a mid-January night, some 80 agents of the Federal

Sure: no failures myself yet, although battery is an issue on 4 hour+ flights, and tapping into a layer of redundancy by charging always feels a bit odd. The iPad is actually mounted on the yoke right in front of you, some people mount it t

I’m not sure those mpg numbers are correct: the more fuel efficient Piaggio EVO update, with winglets etc, in the extended range version can hold about 450 gallons of Jet A and has a 1770nm range, so even with plenty of reserves that doesn’

Feel the same, rooting for them but website is still a bit light on actual data and a lot of startup speak, wondering how they would get that big of an improvement vs similarly shaped (Avanti EVO) or powered (DA62) aircraft. Other question
