Daily Tech News 13 March 2023

Top Story

Crypto-friendly Signature Bank, with $88 billion in deposits, has gone splut and been taken over by the feds, the third bank failure in a week. (The Verge)

But there's no risk of contagion and if anyone tries to tell you otherwise they are Nazis.
Depositors with both Signature and Silicon Valley Banks will be made whole. (CNN)

Both banks have sufficient assets that this is not expected to cost anything; the FDIC is acting as a receiver. But the $250,000 limit on insured deposits is effectively dead at this point. What the fallout of that will be is more complicated.

Tech News

The Apex Storage X21 is a PCIe 4.0 x16 card that supports up to 21 M.2 SSDs. (Tom's Hardware)

That gives you up to 168TB of storage in a single slot, or 84TB with much cheaper 4TB SSDs.

Pricing has not been announced but it won't be cheap.

Disclaimer: Splut, it's what's for breakfast!

10 Evening and morning to everybody! It did cool off overnight. We hit about 85 F. yesterday (spit) and it's fallen to 60, with what look like damp streets from a bit of rain.

Of course I think 60 (if not less) should be the *high* in mid-flippin'-March.

13 As for work, the budget is supposed to be due by Wednesday. The big powers have yet to give us the figures for some of the salaries, though. And this is a new platform we're entering the numbers into. I'll bet a lot of people, including me, will ask for an extension of the deadline.

I have begun to accept that everything like this that has happened has been a planned and coordinated event. The 2008 "crisis" absolutely was, too. It was essentially no big deal and there were laws in place to handle it, but it was magnified by the media and became a massive nation-shaking financial occurrence that just so happened to put Obama in office.

They couldn't figure out how to do that with Trump so they used a virus that was essentially no big deal.

The question in my name field stands btw. I assume they weren't. Because it was all an op for the PATRIOT Act.

It's neat how things tie together so often.

A lot of people have forgotten it or never heard about it, but there was a BBC reporter giving a live on-air report about WTC #7 falling while it was in the live feed video background behind her.

She explained that officials believed WTC7 had fallen because of heat from fires even though it hadn't been struck by a plane.

20 minutes later WTC7 fell, and amazingly it was because of heat from the fire even though it hadn't been struck by a plane.

And COVID-19 is the most super contagious and deadly virus the world has ever seen and the only way to stop it is to wear this t-shirt material over your face and vote by mail.

But mostly who cares?

The point is why did the reporter say it had fallen and accurately make the official excuse 20 minutes before it had fallen while it is literally standing in the background of the video behind her as she talks about how the fire made it fall?

183 Supposedly, the banks still have the assets (mortgage backed securities) and those assets have not crashed (yet) so the money is still there. The banks just did not have cash on hand or any asset which could be made liquid soon enough to make good on cash withdrawals.

That, and they got killed in the bond market because FJB policies raised inflation so high that the Federal Reserve saw fit to jack up rates faster and higher than ever before that SVB bonds wouldn't sell on the market.

The Fed's own policies created this fiasco, and now the Fed will keep performing those exact same policies allegedly to fix what they destroyed.

184 The SF fed screwed up bigly on this one. There were problems six months ago that they missed.

185 Why pay taxes at all if the government can print money out of thin air and $4T deficits mean nothing?

People leaving the state taking their money with them is probably a big problem. I imagine that 90% of fired tech workers were from states other then CA.

Might be one of the reasons there are 87K new IRS agents waiting in the wings. Now, if a couple million or so taxpayers said F it....

191 Seems like the Fed is just as much at risk as the banks. When interest rates go up, and they will, the MBS the Feds hold will lose their value accordingly. Someone will say, hmmmm...lets cash in some US treasury notes before they lose too much value. Then the fun will begin.

193 89 I see we are either going to get a blizzard, a dusting of snow, snow and rain, rain or nothing in the next 24hrs. We just don't know how this storm is going to shape up. But we know exactly what the climate will be in 100 years.
