Had a flight with @Delta where it timed out. After 2 hours on the plane, the flight could not take off as a flight attendant never showed up. It was 4AM when we deplaned. I was not offered a hotel, food, water, nor compensation. This is against @FlightRights

In the past week, banks have taken out nearly $165 billion in short-term Federal Reserve loans, taking advantage of two backstop tools to shore up liquidity.
Here is a good explanation. 1 thing that is not mentioned is clients switching funds from checking to savings where SVB needs to payout interest. SVB had low interest rates (1.1%) compared to competitors to keep costs low. Clients left (~11%) so it also accelerated the chaos.
Many of my startup friends see that I used to be an investment banker and have consequently asked me to explain to them what's going on with SVB as I would explain it to a 7 year old, so here goes:

JP Morgan bought student loan startup Frank for $175M in 2021, thinking they had 4M customers. In reality: customers were fake.
The big story we should be talking about is how devs at the startup refused to generate fake students… so CEO Charlie Javice had to outsource this.

We can finally have a Menu of prices of the US Healthcare system which will help us fight the obscene amount of cost of everything and give control back to people so they make their own choices.
Here is a billion dollar idea:
Health Insurance companies need CPT codes to give you pricing. Doctors can’t give you CPT codes until you see the doctor. That’s why you can never know how much things costs in the US healthcare system until afterwards.
Create your own platform where individuals can finally know the costs of basic visits (covers most of the cases) PRIOR to going/choosing the doctor. Sell your API data as a SaaS product or monetize this valuable data in 100 ways.
