The recent banking troubles had no impact on AltTab beyond giving us a nice opportunity for a USDC trade :) We moved our banking relationship out of Silvergate before the trouble began and now we continue as normal.

If SVB depositors aren’t made whole, then corporate boards will have to insist their companies use two or more of the BIG four banks exclusively. Which will crush smaller banks. AND make the too big to fail problem way worse.  (SVB equity holders are wiped. That’s fine.)

LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky "Pre-pandemic,~1% of all jobs posted on LinkedIn were remote. As of today, that number is ~14%...but that's not the fascinating part. What's fascinating is north of 50% of all job applications on a daily basis on LinkedIn go to that 14% of remote jobs"

Had some questions about this recently in light of the discovery that FTX apparently had 0 controls on their margin program. When VCs ask "how are they doing so much with so few people" -- it's because they built none of this, which is rarely seen or appreciated until too late.
How does Kraken manage margin risk on its spot exchange? 1/9 Finite resources Kraken has a limited pool of funds available for margin trading. Once that pool of funds is exhausted, subsequent orders calling for use of the margin pool will be canceled. support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/…

Masks don't just protect you from Covid—they can also help you avoid flu. If you want to avoid getting sick in the coming weeks, get your flu shot and Omicron booster, wear a mask in indoor crowds, and wash your hands!

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

I just read FTX's Chapter 11 First Day Affidavit. In it, the appointed restructuring CEO John Jay Ray III, who oversaw Enron's bankruptcy proceedings, calls FTX's case the worst of his career. Its contents are shocking. Here are the highlights: 👇

) IMO Silvergate rumors are FUD… The issues around Silvergate are: (1) BTC prices below 16k puts their BTC collateralized loan book under stress; (2) the President and Chief Risk Officer of Silvergate stepped down over the last 48 hours. Both of these claims are false

The fate of the #Babylon5 pilot may be decided end of this month. Though much of @TheCW was bought by @NXSTMediaGroup the decision also rests heavily with @WarnerbrosTV. If fans want to show their support for B5 & let them know you want this to happen, now is the time #B5onCWin23

Some thoughts on Roche Freedman (RF), Ava Labs and the Crypto Leaks article. TLDR: It's just some noise and cheap shots that try to find the conclusion the publisher created.

Wasting my sleeping hours to read the new FUD and it’s bad. It’s selectively cut clips lacking context which is then filled in by the writer who has a clear bias.

15/ A short detour to highlight the worst DM of all time "Can I ask you a question?" This is utterly pointless because if the answer is going to be "no", then it would be "no" anyway and if it is going to be "yes" you wasted a cycle

Lots of discussion about this and inappropriate fearmongering. In the end, these vaccines are safe for our patients and reduce the risk of infection. All transplant recipients and their close contacts should get the vaccine. They also need to continue safety measures.
Important information for transplant professionals and patients. Great collaboration of transplant organizations.@AST_info @AST_IDCOP @DocSaimaAslam @EmilyBlumbergMD @mg_michaels @dktransplant @nikkitheomd @JeffTeuteberg @IshltPres @shahidh80523771 @MRMehraMD

It’s utterly STUNNING how few US financial institutions allow for the use of third party authenticators for 2FA as well as strong, long passwords. Then there’s ones that ostensibly have MFA but let you bypass it with “security questions” in a couple clicks.
