hypothesis

I'll preface this by saying that I have not seen this one myself.

But it is somewhat common for certain manufacturers to sell routers that claim to be OpenWrt-based/compatible, without actually being supported by vanilla OpenWrt. So you get a custom OWRT build, often with no further support, which is not that different from having a OEM firmware.

That's not good enough! You will need superior defense capabilities: e.g a house-sized Faraday cage.

According to wikipedia they are now building prisons like that.

Do they even have those? I thought that upcoming release just got 2.5G WAN port working in rare cases.

Nevermind devices under your control, how are you going to stop your neighbor’s devices from tracking you?

According to recent follow up article, you’re not alone in getting such impression:

“A 2018 statewide CBS News poll found that three-quarters of new parents who were surveyed had no idea the state would store the leftover blood spots indefinitely for research or that they would be accessible to law enforcement.”

It is also interesting that they are no longer tracking said access anymore, so there is no way to confirm or deny their claims of “rare” instances.

Was it clear that DNA samples are stored indefinitely and paid access is allowed to outsiders? There is an article that is a few years old, but is very eye opening.

Given that outsize influence, you would think they would sue Bloomberg… I guess they don’t really care…

Is this something similar to OpenWISP? It all sounds cool, but might be an overkill for small installations…

I honestly can not tell if this is real or if everyone in this thread is laying too thick...

> As in, orders of magnitude larger than I normally deposit.

> It was in and out and nary a peep was heard from them the entire time.

It could be a blessing in disguise, as they could have instead put a hold on transactions and forcing you to show up in a branch in person to unblock it. Because their ML systems told so.

> If you can tolerate T-Mobile, Google Fi is better in almost every way security wise -- and I am very anti-google services these days. It uses the T-Mobile network.

Be careful there, because T-Mobile rot spreads to any downstream MNVO. Sim-jacking is still possible and data breach is happening above Google Fi level. There were articles about that IIRC.

Not sure if you can easily automate this, but changing user agent to ChromeOS based Chrime used to surface that link.

Ok, this one is “interesting”: podman-compose have a dev brach that has some lots of things addressed, but they don’t have any recent tags and it’s not clear if they are going too. There is an issue somewhere, alluding that development is stalled because k8s is the way or similar thing.

Debian recently packaged 1.0.3 that is also old.

This is just WebSQL story all over again, right? “Go redo it from scratch” is the most ridiculous excuse in the book.

Sound like no one even knew it was a thing, which also might explain that nobody used it.

That seems to account for layoff and upcoming pricing changes.

> It was a failure to have a group of professionals with mutual interests work it out together.

I saw plenty comments to the effect that maybe getting out first and leaving competition in the dust is also ok. For all we know someone could also have picked up a distressed bank, save feds stepping in forcefully.

Sounds exactly like “held-to-mortality” plan! It does appear to work in at least some cases. The rest is getting bailed out.

According to some comments here, such a narrow bank was proposed, but was denied license by the Fed, which apparently even fought in court to uphold the denial.

Those tweets include documents that show doc as restricted to “non-operative office-based medicine or administrative medicine”. Clearly they thought that he is okay in this exact position.

Might as well buy treasuries with higher rates and tax benefits. Should not take much longer to setup…

I couldn’t find earlier data points, but at the end of 2019 they apparently had $61B in deposits…

People in this thread are speculating that CRO might be out of job precisely because they weren’t fully on board with things happening there.

> The real question is why the regulators didn't notice.

From what I read, it looks like some banks are trying to stay below $250B threshold that would trigger higher scrutiny.

You would think that there are people around POTUS who would understand PR, but maybe it’s just doesn’t matter anymore?

Ok, that makes sense.

My question was more about mechanics of this. Do they plan to keep FDIC fund and grow it or maybe you wind it down and just assess “as needed”, since the other guy is now completely on the hook.

So, going forward, are they planning to do a “special assessment” for every failure? Because before banks were paying premiums into the system, just like an insurance.

Now, I have no knowledge if Biden himself tweeted that.

But would you retweet something that calls your actions “bailout”? Especially if you don’t want it to be called as such?

Here’s POTUS being okay with it called a “bailout”. Can we move on to discuss substance?

So, at least two banks failed this week, 16th largest and a smaller one. Then Fed panics and effectively institutes an “unlimited” insurance/backstop policy, as a direct result.

I don’t know if I would call those events “pedestrian”.
