Silicon Valley Bank has been a critical component of America's startup ecosystem. I look forward to working with SVB's successor, and hope the FDIC will act quickly to establish one.

If this is true, the FDIC is about to make a mistake of historic proportions.

If a city is fussy enough to ban plastic straws, it's not a significant source of ocean plastic.

Update: The Financial Times has in effect combined those two graphs, and they do match pretty closely:

Just back from Hay on Wye, where I bought a few books.

I told him that if there was anything else he was worrying about, he should just tell us, because it would once again much less of a big deal than he was expecting. But he says there isn't anything now.

The reason he confessed was interesting. His older brother showed him a meme that he couldn't have understood without knowing about some fairly grownup stuff, and when he laughed at it, his brother turned and looked intently at him. The secret was out!
10 yo told me that in first grade he secretly watched 4 episodes of Family Guy on his iPad. He didn't understand all the jokes but he knew he shouldn't be watching it, and he was oppressed by guilt for several years before finally confessing to Jessica. (She didn't care.)
Randall Bennet has had a tough life, but has managed to achieve a lot nonetheless. What he's written could help people facing similar obstacles.

In 1500 Jacopo de' Barbari made this incredible huge aerial view map of Venice.
It measures 1.345 x 2.818 metres, made out of 6 woodcut blocks. It took three years to finish it.
The level of detail is simply amazing!
It was basically the Renaissance version of "Google Earth".

David Petersen (@typesfaster) posted this graph of the percentage of teens who meet their friends in person almost every day. If you crop and flip it, it's much the same shape as the graph of mental health problems.
