This entire discussion is just so ludicrous
a) if you believe it is existentially dangerous, put in actual controls with a real regulatory body. Lock that shit down.
b) if you don’t, chill the fuck out. Or treat like the Internet
c) there is no c
I’m solidly in (b).

SVB was just a badly run bank that went bust. Happens all the time.
What's special about SVB is that many influential people banked with them, and are now lobbying for special treatment.
Let's hope our system is fair.

The FDIC has taken SVB in receivership and will manage its resolution. This has happened hundreds of times over the last decades and there is a well tested game plan as I mentioned earlier. Thread.

If you give feedback about your directs' motivations, intents, beliefs, values or emotions, there is almost no model that will help you be effective. Professional feedback only works when it's about BEHAVIOR

As a trader, there is barely a time that you can transparently share edge, but since FTX has gone down, it is clear that this strategy is never coming back, and I thought I would share insight on how i extracted round 5000% of value from the incompetency off SBF (1/x)

This was a super interesting conversation, for me, with @davecwright.
Twitter the org is going through a values overhaul. Twitter the platform is next and I predict a culture war over it. War is a model of political discourse.. is there another way? @edelwax has an another way, and it's not "Ask Elon"!

Read these 3 pages. I post them every so often because I think it is some of the tightest, wisdom-packed writing on managing complex systems ever.
And almost every system is a complex system today, which is why cascading failures are swirling around us. researchgate.net/publication…
