rather then ban, I would prefer posts/comments are labeled as such. with features: - ability to hide AI labeled replies (by default) - assign lower weight when appropriate - if a user is suspected to be AI-generated,…
the "If you owe the bank 1M, you have a problem. If you owe the bank 1B, the bank has a problem" adagium scaled up ?
The 250bn figure is one pushed by the private owners, trying to defend their high yields. It's likely inflated with bonuses and short term schemes to juice returns. Meanwhile, they've extracted 85bn in dividends since…
Not if they might become a competitor, or thrive (proving that the sale was a good idea). Better to keep them weak and likely to fail.
Sweden is part of the expanded 5 eyes (now 14 eyes). As a workaround for restrictions on domestic spying, they subcontract their dirty work to each other. Hence, you can expect the US to assist in pressuring them…
No, that's not right. Public health insurance in the EU does not use that concept. Participating insurance companies are not allowed to set rates that way, since it doesn't serve the public good.
presumably it has a semantic model of sorts, defining intrinsic relationships between entities (parent-child, composed-of, sibling-of, and so on) A bit similar how certain joins in SQL can be very straightforward with…
Its support and security posture could very well be better than average. Looking a other breaches (Qlik Attunity, Microsoft AAD, ...) indicates that being better then average is not enough if you're a sufficiently…
I'm not sure it does, perhaps it violates the spirit but not the letter. You need a way to give your employees access to customer data; for support cases. So you build a "request access" form in your ITSM. Now you can…
No, that sounds about right. This is a new, agile, cloud-first company that grew very quickly and has faced significant turnover. You don't get such growth by doing everything right. Looking at linked-in, the unlucky…

1. After $EVENT, we are in a horrible state of affairs. Something must be done. 2. $THING is something. 3. Therefore, we must do $THING. (We don't examine whether $THING could've prevented or alleviated $EVENT - there…
not quite the same, but Iain M. Banks is in my top 5, along with Vernor Vinge.
LIDL famously burned around 500M € on a SAP rollout before pulling the plug.
seconded. it would provide an on-ramp to get familiar with the software without forking over 500k
Current wisdom was that higher interest rates would be good for a bank (after all, deposits are sticky). That didn't turn out to be the case for SVB (high concentration of risk, ...) but is more true for a more…
yep. Due to the SVB failure, large banks are now backstopped by a guarantee that they can loan from the FED at 100% of the value of the bonds at redemption time (even though they're worth less right now, due to rates…
