I'm pretty sure the rule is around owning a certain fraction of a stock (to make sure it's publicly known if you're trying to buy a controlling stake, because this would affect the price), not the dollar-value of it. And Berkshire owns ~0.18% of AAPL.
It's not about whether the app works, it's about the kind of person who would try to use an app for that purpose at all.
pretty convinced from what data? source please? thanks!

They are once the quarterly 13F reports come out.

https://www.sec.gov/answers/form13f.htm

For smaller companies it can also come out in a 13D which is faster (within 10 days), but only if the investment is more than 5% of the company. That's why there are a lot of ownership stakes of 4.9%.
Agreed, setting any volume above 7 or so completely torches all voice recognition.
I love TypeScript, but one thing that I find increasingly irksome is the phenomenon of TypeScript advocates who present a dismissive attitude towards workflows that don't include TypeScript.

Why would I ever use this instead of TypeScript? A totally reasonable answer to this question is that I don't want my JavaScript sources to require transpilation before they will run in a modern browser.
Sure, I'm not saying it isn't the solution - just that you're going to end up with quite a particular self-selected demographic.

Although personally I put more stead in human interaction to promulgate happiness than an app. :)
I agree. Qualcomm and the rest can own the frontend and get half a nickel in profits per handset shipped, while Intel owns the backend and sells server CPUs by the millions with gross margins of hundreds of dollars per unit and next to nothing in the way of competition.

Your analogy is terrible. Marijuana is not comparable to anything you can buy over the counter. Unless you chug a bottle of cough syrup and then drive, which is just as illegal as driving drunk or stoned.

I'm not familiar with US law so I might be wrong but I believe in the case of crimes the perpetrators get prosecuted by the state, not the targeted company, so any implied contract would be irrelevant.

First sign up for a subscription with a live card make sure signups are still working properly.

Setup a plan to renew on a live card tomorrow, make sure that's working.

Setup tracking on which users visit your cancellation page but don't cancel. Setup a page to view this in your dashboard. Email each one personally and ask them how their experience is going see if they have any questions or have suggestions to improve your app make it more valuable to them.

Adding a required text box on the cancellation page asking why they are leaving is a good way to get feedback.

Personally email every user you can, start with cancellations say "Just reaching out to see if there is a reason you cancelled and are there any improvements I can make to make the application better? Any feedback you can provide would be appreciated".

Next email new signups to see how their experience is going.

Check all your domains, browse through your funnel make sure signups are working nothing is broken on the site.

Test out your app run through with a new account as a user and make sure things are working properly.

Check error logs any issues users could be seeing.

Check your traffic, organic search rank and make sure you haven't fallen out of favor with Google. (Investigate your typical traffic sources/analytics).

Add code to start tracking logins, how users are using your SaaS to see if you can see which users are active or maybe active then drop off. Follow up with them see if you can help.

Good luck turning the ship around.
It's actually quite heart-breaking to see the extent gone to to reveal the bug, and then to disclose it in full, for zero reward.

Whether or not a bug bounty programme exists at a company, if a bug this severe comes through the door, it should warrant a reward.
I can't imagine that's how cognition and an activity like driving interact. It's not like negative reinforcement in a social setting (getting demoted at work and as a result getting discouraged and becoming a worse performer, for example) - most people realize driving is an inherently dangerous activity, and most people don't want to die (even if they're doing moderately risky things like driving stoned), so they're not going to have an emotional reaction like "Welp! Guess I'm just fated to drive like shit since I'm stoned right now, hope I make it home, but first lets do some donuts." No, they're going to overcompensate and drive more safely.

If anything, I'd be concerned the opposite effect would occur - data suggesting that driving stoned is safe will cause stoned drivers to lower their guard and not compensate for their impairment as much, and thus raise stoned driving accident rates.
> Berkshire Hathaway was down 12% last year

It's easy to cherry pick dates to suit your argument.

12 months leading to end of 2015: down 12%
24 months leading to end of 2015: up 11%
36 months leading to end of 2015: up 40%

~5.5 months between end of 2015 and today: up 8%

Was your statement true? Yes. Misleading? Even more so.

Your other statements... well maybe you're 100% right and not even misleading on those, but after choosing such a bad statement for your lede I'm not going to bother looking them up.

Edit: Actually I was curious enough to look into one more of your "facts". According to Business Insider, S&P 500 doesn't even come close to beating B.H. But maybe you have better data than them. http://static2.uk.businessinsider.com/image/54f4d8a6dd08955d...
Every innovation eventually becomes commoditized. So if you want to remain high-margin you have to continually innovate.

(But to be fair to Intel they did, and do - they keep producing better and better CPUs. It's just that demand for that whole category has shifted)
I doubt there is any. Else they would have quoted a cumulative increase in fatalities.

You hit the nail on the head. I've always thought ofvthem as a more diverse and digital Walmart. Bezos wasn't coasting on a nice stream of profit: he was building an empire.
A huge number of those companies will be dormant, wholly owned subsidiaries, or one-man-band operations (e.g. contractors with limited companies)

Of course it's a moot point because companies don't have citizens' best interests in mind. They want cheap labor, big markets, lobbying power, and regulations that raise barriers to entry for their industries.

On all of those counts, the EU is fantastic for big business, but not necessarily for ordinary citizens.
Ah, I understand what you're saying now. Still, I think it'd be a stretch to assume that none of those fatalities were actually related to the marijuana use. But I agree, it doesn't necessarily imply causation, just a correlation (which as you say, could in part be coincidental).
I'll take my best shot at guessing his answers. The Great Firewall employs many techniques for censorship. The simplest block sites and poison your dns cache. Http packets are inspected to deterministically decide whether are block a connection.

Https is an improvement, but they still use machine learning to make estimates on encrypted contents of packets. If packets going to and from a location (i.e. Your vpn server) meet some criteria with some confidence, they perform attacks on that connection and subsequent connections To the same endpoint. I'm not sure on the specifics, but these attacks will cause ~90% of that connection's traffic to drop. The system is dynamic, so your countermeasures have to be as well.

I'm guessing HK because it's physically and politically close. It's considered Chinese territory, but not under China's GFW. I've heard from friends that GFW censorship is more aggressive around sensitive times (i.e. Tiananmen square anniversary) and news.

If any of this is wrong or inaccurate, someone please correct me. I'd love to have a better mental model of the GFW so that I could better work remotely from there.
On the other hand, studies have shown that red wine is good for the heart and chocolate as well. So the best of all worlds is to get stoned, drink a lot of red wine and then drive while eating chocolate. Why is there no study yet showing that?
Would it really be a good investment for GCHQ to keep enough sockpuppet accounts on HN to upvote something like this to the front page?

What would they gain? And if they really have an eye on HN, that would probably mean that NSA as well. If that is true, would it inhibit a community like HN to self-censor?

Making Klart was pretty much "scratching my own itch". I do think many tools out there for this task has too many features for my taste. I'm adding features for color extraction and organization soon but will always keep it very simple and clean.
Not for Berkshire. They hold onto shares for a long time and have less than 50 companies (the ones they really like just get acquired). The new AAPL stake is .83% of the portfolio.
This seems to be Microsoft's pattern. Make the APIs super low level and difficult to use, and build tooling on top to make it palatable. If you're doing simple stuff with Visual Studio, no problem, but as soon as you need to go deeper, good luck.

I think it's probably embedded in MS developer culture, leftover from the old days when the ulterior motive was to make Windows "easy to develop for, difficult to port away from".
A corporation, being a legal fiction, can only act through physical persons. So in that respect, no corporation can be truly autonomous. It sounds like what they have done is taken all the paperwork associated with corporate activity: by-laws, annual meeting minutes, resolutions, etc., and put them into a block chain. A more proper description would be a paperless corporation.
... But they still have a copy of it.

I don't really understand what story the article is trying to tell. The headline implies the report is gone, but further down the article it says the CIA have a copy in a vault somewhere.

So why is this deletion seen as problematic when the report still exists? Why is this even a story? What is the story exactly?
Agree 100%.

I wouldn't tolerate unleashed dogs begging for food, shitting in the streets and otherwise accosting strangers for no reason.

I refuse to tolerate this behavior from Human Beings.

That was not the best evidence I could find; it was the first evidence I could find, after about fifteen seconds' search. This kind of thing happens all the time. It is not hard to turn up the proof if one cares to look.

You are moving the goalposts. Previous poster said "incriminates me and is discovered with a subpoena". They did not say "to the exclusion of all other evidence". Search histories are already being used as evidence, this is indisputable. Nobody ever claimed they were being used as the only evidence.
Those things are true for all white collar exempt salaried employees, including most employees on this site. Why shouldn't teachers be treated the same way?

Actually 16.9% isn't much below INTC's 18.2% operating margin for 1Q16. The 5% number is more just an outlier due to revenue dropping much faster than expenses - the article mentions losing Samsung and possibly Apple as customers in a pretty short period of time. That certainly does suggest trouble ahead for QCT but I would argue that it doesn't necessarily say much about the industry as a whole.
I agree with what you're saying but I was talking about the SPY example listed above. The prospectus [0] for SPY says that it's not actively managed and that it rebalances at least monthly.

I've seen a terminal cancer patient breathe her last after the nurse (with doctor authorization) overrode the safeties on the infusion system to give her an overdose of painkillers. She wasn't ever getting out of that room alive, and everybody knew it. She died with her family and loved ones at her side.

I think what a lot of people (in America) may not understand about the national euthanasia discussion is that in the absence of firm policy, we don't have no euthanasia; we have ad-hoc, case-by-case, absolutely-functionally-necessary euthanasia. The notion that doctors can always do no harm is a polite fantasy that blinds people to the messy realities near the boundary of human life and death.

Similarly to the abortion question, end-of-life euthanasia is something people find medically necessary sometimes, and in the absence of a society-wide consensus that allows for it, doctors, nurses, and patients are left doing the best they can and bearing the moral responsibilities alone. Unlike the abortion question, absolutely everyone is going to be in a place where they are either caring for someone who is dying or dying themselves.

Berkshire has too much money and too few ideas as to what to do with it. Why not the second largest stock with tons of untaxed cash? And they can push for tax amnesty to repatriate it.
>Comparing to past theoretical entry points to buying Apple is irrelevant. I'm not sure why all of us didn't invest in Apple 10 years ago!

Shortsightedness?

Without any hindsight involved, 10 years ago the continuous rise for several years seemed inevitable AT THE TIME.

Now it's not so clear.

But it's not because "it's easier to predict the last 10 years than the next ten years".

Rather it's because it was easier to predict the next ten years in 2006 than it is now.

That's not entirely true.

Intel has invested in plenty of things that haven't worked out, for instance, Itanic, Ultrabooks, Realsense, etc.

Also companies like Intel and Microsoft have bought into the Clayton Christensen theory of "disruption" to the point where they really are throwing their existing customers under the bus. That is, Windows 8 was perceived as a tablet operating system, Intel only sells high-end chips under the Xeon brand, etc.

Had Intel stuck more piggishly to making better PC's, we might have mainstream water-cooled desktops running at 5Ghz+ and more reasons for people to upgrade.

There are behaviors that are definitely creepy and should be avoided. People are willing to overlook them if they find the person attractive. That doesn't change the fact that it's best to avoid those behaviors, and that you can simultaneously be unattractive, non-creepy, and successful in social situations.

It's unfair in the way that unattractiveness is always unfair--no matter what you do, you're judged by a much harsher standard than anyone else, and people desperately want to diminish that reality so they can continue to believe in just world fallacies and retain a sense of control about what happens to them. But in the end there's only two ways to respond: understandably bitter anger at the unfairness of the world, or getting over it. Neither will fix the world, but one will make you happy.
What I described is actually how it works as I was taught in a university law course. Your "economic analysis" sounds to me like logical speculation on your part, which while it may be a superficially valid way to parse the situation, and under historical common law could have been how courts determined the outcome, is from what I learned simply not how courts actually handle it. "Saved costs" is not a category from which a judgement could be obtained, while "profits" is, and "profits" is an actual motivation to set up an unclean liability shifting arrangement.

You will see this case continue to move forward through the courts which it would not--plaintiff's lawyers would not even pursue it--if you were correct.

and as a final point, I was not drawing an analogy to independent contract workers, I was using one as an example of an arrangement a court would see through; remove that term and my argument still applies.
Vast majority? Really?
Yes, this is a key problem with the study. THC metabolites are cleared very slowly. Testing positive indicates that you used marijuana within a week or two. It doesn't mean that you're stoned.

For alcohol, a comparable test might look at long-term changes in liver biochemistry associated with alcohol consumption. In that case, there probably wouldn't be any correlation with accident rates.
My computer science lecturers can't even put together a webpage so yeah it is asking a lot. (They didn't close tags in their tables for some bizarre reason)
I'm on vacation in Colorado right now, and you can point out the stoned drivers. They tend to drive slow and passive, they fear the merge, and spend lots of time stopped at stop signs making sure they really are stopped and not going to crash. The impression I have is that their judgement and reactions are definitely impaired, but in a stark contrast to the invincibility and carelessness of alcohol induced drivers.
Religious, racial, or cultural affinity? The impression of exclusivity by putting a ceiling on the number of investors and raising it in increments? The whiff of possible insider knowledge based on bluster and one or two Amazon bestsellers, some press releases, a TED talk, an appearance on Shark Tank, or instagram pictures partying with captains of industry and celebrities? A magical belief system? Why do people put money into anything but Vanguard now?
Why phrase it as a question? The linked article is a PR piece that obviously argues that Ontolo is the fastest crawler, parser, indexer.

The actual article title "400,000,000+ Prospects a Day: Behind the Scenes of ontolo" seems less click baity.
>If you are drunk, you can get arrested in some places (indiana) for walking home - instant public intoxication charge.

If you're so drunk that you'd get pulled over as a pedestrian, then you most certainly should not be driving.

>Still more places don't have safe options to walk or ride bikes if you are impared. These things need fixed to be able to do what you are encouraging.

How about some personal responsibility? Society isn't responsible for enabling people's drinking. If you can't get home without driving, then don't drink (or if it's a long visit, have only one or two, at the beginning).

Hi!
Thank you for your feedback!

Sure you can take screenshots today and organize them yourself. But the organization bothered me and this is why I decided to make Klart :). It was just to much hassle (for me).
Your goals are worthwhile. I recently built a tool not unlike yours, sharing many of the same goals vis-à-vis ease of use. Unfortunately it's currently closed source, but hopefully it'll be opened up soon and we can compare notes. There is definitely space for tooling which trade flexibility for ease of use. I wouldn't worry too much about Domenic's flame bait anyway, he has a habit of missing the point. (I mean, he did champion JS promises after all..)
if someone is engaging in crime, they're a criminal

There are reasons why people turn to crime. If we deal with those reasons before the crime happens then, in general, everyone is better off.

it's a nutjob trying to attack someone with a lethal weapon.

Someone who is dangerously insane probably shouldn't be living on the streets. They represent a danger to the public. It's clearly preferable that those people are given aid in whatever ways necessary so no one gets stabbed. That's the problem with looking down on these people and referring to them as trash - you put yourself in the position of thinking they shouldn't be helped at all, so you end up having to live with the threat they pose.
Excellent post. I always love seeing readable breakdowns of machine learning exercizes. I especially appreciate seeing what breaks and how it's fixed. <3!

This is almost certainly a bet by Ted Weschler or Todd Combs - Buffett's chief investing lieutenants.

Buffett has maintained his aversion to tech as he doesn't "understand"[1] it, and I see nothing to indicate he's changed his mind at this stage in the game.

Also - a $1bn investment is relatively small change for Buffett, but fits squarely within the size range of Ted and Todd's reported $8-10b (each) investment warchest.

[1]: Not "understanding" doesn't mean he doesn't or couldn't understand the technology aspects; rather, it means he doesn't have the ability to see which of the participants will survive and thrive in 10 years time to justify an investment today. IBM is a notable exception.
> Some websites require JavaScript to display images nowadays. What's wrong with <img>?

Because trifecta of retina (hi-dpi) displays, responsive design (use the same code for both mobile and desktop) and miserly bandwidth caps, (especially on mobile networks), means that traditional <img> tags won't do it any more.

<picture> is designed to help with this - and I'm pleasantly surprised to find that it has landed in a surprising number of browsers http://caniuse.com/#feat= picture - but you'll still need a polyfill, which is if course JavaScript.

Pages with a lot of images also use lazy loading to reduce bandwidth usage even further.

Of course a <noscript> should be included, but it's getting harder and harder to make the claim that it is economical to support people without JS.
Agreed. I think the value of results like this is to challenge selection biases. I have family in Colorado where marijuana was recently legalized, an action I support despite never smoking it nor having desire to. They're worried about the legalization resulting in everyone driving high, and they constantly cite 1 incident where someone rear-ended a cop while high. It's illogical to take anything from a single incident simply because it was relevant enough to make headlines and ignore all the other different incidents that don't make headlines because there's nothing novel about them.
