Yes, it is certainly possible to buy Berkshire and chill.

Past performance may not tell you anything about the future; if you're going to buy any company, even Berkshire, do it because you like the business and the price, not because you like the record.

In general, it's expected that Berkshire's rate of growth will approach that of the market simply because it's so big.

A correct prediction of any Berkshire price movement is worth billions of dollars. I don't know what's going to happen when Buffett turns over the reins. You can make arguments for price movement in either direction. I'm certain that the trading volume in the days following the news will be significant.

Hello :)

So in my perspective, no one can make us =).

But - we can choose to be. Or choose not to be. I.e we, individually say if we are or are not. It is our choice.

I choose to be (as much as I can, and I may not be able to do much in these circumstances but I try in others of my life as much as possible and I dedicate most of my time to others).

I choose to be because I believe this builds a better planet and it encourages help rather than a "I'm not helping i'm not responsible. Find the person to blame and make them pay". But how do we ever find the person to blame?

Is it the refugee coming over in hope with their family for a better life?
Is it the people fighting in the war?
The people who started the war?

Who should pay the price?

In my studies of humanity and cultures the place that most inspired me was an island where every child was taken care of by every family on that island. There were no barriers, parents treated every kid as their own.

So, forgive my post if it has come across as convincing people they should take responsibility that was not the case. I was asking a genuine question in the sense, why can we not help? Why does responsibility matter really?

Ignorance and Indolence...

There is an apocryphal story about Gauss (18th cent mathematician). As an 8 yr old he was given a punishment or busywork to add the numbers up from 1 to 100. The kind of tedious task intended to punish or control kids.

He had the quick insight that it was really just 50 pairings of 101 so solved it in less than a minute. So there is a kind of productive laziness and a constructive ignorance of the process.

Even as an 8 yr old I imagine he understood what the teacher was trying to do by giving him such a task and he remained willfully ignorant of it.
Took me a few attempts. You will know when your success was accepted because you'll see a message stating so.
> it seems to me that an American court has the power to demand that an American citizen produce an item or information under his control, even if it happens to be in another country

Does the American government have the power to compel someone to violate foreign law in order to produce an item held in a foreign country? Can the American government force an American citizen to violate Greek law and take a million Euros out of Greece for that hypothetical divorce settlement?

This is the scenario in question here. It is illegal in Ireland for Microsoft to provide the requested information to the US Government. The data resides in Ireland so complying would require performing an illegal act in Ireland. Does US law for some reason override Irish law? Can the US government compel Microsoft to violate Irish law?
Well, it may have just needed refinement. Usually no one installs extensions except by personal recommendation, so you'd have to start by asking people you know to test it, then A/B test and iterate til you got a product that your friends actually wanted to use, regardless of your involvement.

I'm one of the first paying customers of Pocket.

Alas, their quality has been going down recently. The most important feature - keeping the location inside an article between app invocations, is not working. For long articles, if I stop in the middle and want to resume later, there's a 80% chance that Pocket will happily set me right in the beginning.

Besides, their rendering for articles with code sucks, so I almost always use "web view", a decision Pocket also forgets every other time.

So I end up using Pocket as a convenient keyboard-shortcut to save articles, but on my phone actually open them into Chrome, which has no problem remembering the location in a tab.
Sincerely. I'm European, I'm from Euro zone. I walk in the streets in my country's capital at night and a see dozens of homeless hungry people just by walking a couple of Km.

I just can't put my head around on why we should help the refugees before we help our own people. It just doesn't make any sense to me. We are giving millions to find houses for these refugees/migrants but we let our own live and die on the streets...

This is a good Humanitarianism move, it eventually will boil down to education, job, welfare however, the government needs to be prepared.

Due to the huge inequality of birth rate among different races/religions, I foresee gradually the Arabic population will take over Europe, over probably one or two hundred years that is. Similar thing will happen in USA, with the Latino will become majority, over time that is.

"It’s not hard to generate massive revenue’s with a really bad business model. One case study is Groupon and how, at one point, they were spending almost 80% of revenues on marketing."

I've found the amount of marketing spend required to sustain revenue to be a contrarian indicator.

While "if you build it they will come" doesn't work in a pure sense (in most cases), if you have a good product and business model it should "take off" on its own at some point after you've primed the pump. It should not require you to constantly ram it down the market's throat to sustain revenue. If revenue has no "buoyancy" without marketing pushing on it, that's an indicator of something that people maybe don't really want/need that much.

For example: if Apple ceased all of their marketing spend I would expect a small revenue dip and a dip in growth but not a huge one. Their revenues would not crash and burn. That's because people like them and tell their friends and that would sustain some level of growth even without marketing spend.

Sure, as I mentioned, the physical key analogy isn't a perfect match.

Latino don't live in closed communities. The often marry and have kids with the other local communities and there is very little prejudice about that from both parts. The real separation between communities in this case is socio-economic.

The desire to play is the most moving part of this parable.

Amazing things come from this impulse even though it is transitory and trivial on the surface. I am pretty sure that Space Travel is not widely played any more but the desire to play it has shaped my life in more ways than I could count:

"When Bell Labs withdrew from the Multics research consortium, Ken Thompson was left with some Multics-inspired ideas about how to build a file system. He was also left without a machine on which to play a game he had written called Space Travel, a science-fiction simulation that involved navigating a rocket through the solar system. Unix began its life on a scavenged PDP-7 minicomputer[14] like the one shown in Figure 2.1, as a platform for the Space Travel game and a testbed for Thompson's ideas about operating system design."

If that were the case no one would ever install native apps. But the reality is given the choice, most people will use the app. I know this is a fact because mobile is my bread and butter.

That works for file and message/mail contents, and there already are functional external solutions for that (f.e. GPG). I agree that needs to be better integrated and supported.

But Google needs to know my search query to be able to serve me a results page. Google will know my phones location if I use their WiFi-positioning-system. Google needs to know my address and payment information to have me buy apps.

Encryption can not help me here. I need to be able to trust Google not to collect that data without my consent, that they do not store that data longer than needed to provide me the service and that they do not share that data with anybody that has no right to it. That can only be guaranteed by laws.

This is about laws, and the need for such laws will not go away by encryption alone.

Allowing refugees is a feel good band aid. Yes it does directly benefit those who gain asylum but it does nothing to help the majority left behind.

The real solution is to make positive changes in their homelands, bg force if necessary. This dilly dallying helps no one except radicals bent on violence and the corrupt regimes and Russia's meddling. Europe needs to do something. Sometimes you do need violence to make things better, world war two has left a deep scar on Europe which has made it overly cautious and allergic to necessarily addressing unjust violence.

The government has this ability with near all other relationships you have. So much so that they have codified the few that it doesn't apply to.

(What's appropriate is another discussion)

Ultimately, realize that any dealing you have is open to the government if they so desire and make that part of your decision making process.
