I'd love a superforecaster podcast, recorded today with predictions on major current events a year forward... Released 364 days later. Listening to the past predict the present would be eye-opening / hubris-checking, I think

@DivaJain2 AFAIK you need to first register as a SFR counterparty or be a primary dealer. SVB was neither. Question for me is why they didn't use the discount window, which provides >overnight liquidity against exactly the kind of securities SVB had in HTM, without forcing it to move to AFS

Great piece by Kluender @ HBS on an issue that impacts c. 80 million drivers - even if you can afford

@carolinecapital 100%, both as an individual and in a team. Once everyone has a shared fact basis, there're very few genuinely hard & significant decisions. And for those, I tend to think a tie-breaker is beneficial to essentially "own the wrong" - normally lead / CEO

@Trevornoah @thedailyshow love your work but you need to signpost this kind of satire better as (sadly) it's close enough to reality that a lot of ppl believe it and get fired up (check out comments to your youtube share)

@felixsalmon any sense for difference in lockup treatments (either for mgmt or pref equity holders) btw SPAC and IPO routes?

[David Bergendahl @dbrgndl]

@felixsalmon any chance for a live Slate Money episode over Twitch/Zoom/other?

@benedictevans ever seen handset marketshare breakdown for the US specifically? Trying to figure out what median vs. avg. smartphone is.

[David Bergendahl @dbrgndl]

@felixsalmon love the SlateMoney numbers round. Any chance of introducing a "listener-suggested number"? Works well for Political Gabfest

@ezraklein Everyone's using "veillance" (sp?) on podcasts and I have no non-contextual understanding of what that means. Help! WHAT DOES IT MEAN 😖
