Just because you've purchased a canned lesson plan doesn't mean you have to implement it exactly.

I imagine a lot of teachers are buying the plans to avoid 80% of the work, and then adjusting them to fit their specific pupils.

And some of them are probably lazily teaching them straight off the shelf as well. So it goes.
Obviously the devil's in the details. But it seems more like fair company at a great price than great company at a fair price. The latter is what Berkshire is known for.

If it's the former type of a deal it's interesting: Maybe prices are so good he couldn't resist. Maybe these newspapers do represent a great "company."

I can empathize with this, but for reasons the author doesn't mention.

You don't suppress your outward signs of wealth for the sake of your millionaire co-workers. You do it so that you can keep your non-millionaire friends.

You know, those fun people you hang out with and have for the last dozen years. The ones you have barbecues with on the roof of their (and until recently, your) shabby apartment building. The ones you rope into dirtbag backpacking trips, hopping chicken buses through Central America. And the ones who, through accident of fortune, now make roughly 15% of your currently inflated salary.

We say that money doesn't matter. But try buying that house you can now afford in that neighborhood with the gate and watch how it affects your friends the first time you invite them over for drinks by the pool.

I don't know what the solution for this is. But lying low seems to be a good plan until somebody comes up with a better idea.

Not all valuable scrapeable data is copyrightable. I also know of a number of sites I've scraped that don't even bother attempting to restrict your access to their data through T&Cs even though its the basis for their site (not that they'd have much of a legal basis for enforcing that, anyway). Ultimately if you're in the business of selling raw data with no value added, the problem is your business model, not scrapers.

Your post is a logical fallacy. The fact that a bad metric exists does not mean all metrics are bad.

Yes.

That was, to some extent, my point :-)

That and the fact that many HN folk will have encountered management doing dumb things like equating velocity or cycle time or lines of code with productivity. Which may explain their aversion to simplistic metrics like this.

To address your specific fallacy, the output of coding is heterogeneous while the output of teaching is homogeneous. If I code today, it's a realtime optimization system. Tomorrow it might be a search product. When I taught, the output was always the same: students who understand calculus.

Really? I can easily see it from the opposite point of view. When I code I'm just delivering running-tested-features. When I teach (which I have done, and still do) every student is different - they often start from radically different positions of attitude, aptitude and existing knowledge.
the problem is you simply cannot assess from the outside which areas really are needed - at least not in reasonable time. intra-company services that are reflected in the books (fake money being charged for services) muddles the picture considerably as everyone claims profits - but all it does is shifting monopoly money around.

and again, internal pain to measure is useless. the company money machine is not self sustaining, it needs money from outside, from customers. once you have pain servicing them, you have cut enough and can start make positive adjustments.

if HR is complaining after cuts - congrats, you have identified broken internal processes. make do with the people you have. resources shape processes, not the other way round. Not enough people to run the multi-layered holiday approval process? Have the direct manager approve, no one else. Voila, just saved millions in internal cost. HP services employees track their expenses in several systems, in parallel. Manual entry. The organizational retardation of such a place is amazing.
I was thinking exactly the same thing.

This is why I'm annoyed by this new bubble. When it pops its going to stigmatize the entire profession again, just like last time.
I hate natural light and windows; give me a windowless room where I can set the temperature, light level, etc. exactly, independent of time of day.

The first thing after "private offices for anyone who wants them" is "24x7 HVAC adjustable as close to individually as possible"; I have a shared office in an invite-only coworking space which I largely don't use because the HVAC shuts off at 6pm and is on again at 9am, with huge windows -- it's barely ok in the evenings/mornings during the week, but unusable on weekends.
The greatest thing about Buffett is his willingness to change his mind.

He started out by investing in "cigar butt" companies that were often valued at huge discount to their book value. Then he changed: bought lots of Coke stock.

He said he was not able to predict the outcomes of technology companies and therefore was very unlikely to invest in the sector. Then he changed: bought lots of IBM stock.

He has stated in a number of his letters to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders that the newspaper business has lost its "moat", its competitive advantage. Now he's changed: buying a huge number of local media properties at an incredible discount.

Buffett's adaptability, patience, and willingness to change tack is what makes Berkshire Hathaway such a powerhouse. As his partner Charlie Munger said of their performance over the last 40 years: "if you stripped out the top 20 bets we've made then our performance is a joke". They've made big bets on lots of distressed assets. This bet is relatively tiny compared to Berkshire's size. They are look for more "elephants" like the Burlington North railway.
Hm, I think a few people have missed the point of the post by the 'omg how self-entitled' posts I've just scanned through. This isn't just about getting bigger monitors, or a fancy email or a dozen other things, it's about companies that don't understand the development environment that works best is whatever the developer needs. Your company makes software? The developers are their biggest asset.

Plus given a blank cheque most of us wouldn't go wild, we understand what we need and skip the rest.
In this case, there was someone with basically good judgement, but they were operating from high within their hierarchical framework, which inherently induces delays. In retrospect, Philip, David, or both, should have been copied on the ticket and directly overseen the policy violation that they deliberately set in motion.

Simply ordering policy violations from the throne doesn't work in practice. Either the person who made the decision or a trusted lieutenant who understands what's going on has to see it through to the end, otherwise the bureaucracy in the middle will simply continue on its preprogrammed course.
Very profound! Now do one on PHP.
What the hell is the point of this? Seriously? Just come out with it. I love a good bit of snark and sarcasm but I'm tired of crap like this getting posted every week. Let's actually have a discussion about something instead of what literally amounts to flamebait.

Honestly, call me thick but I do not get the point. At all. This uses jQuery. But it also uses CSS3. And/But it also doesn't work without Javascript. Call me stupid, but there's no consistent advocacy anywhere. And there's a Twitter share button which I find is often hated by those who are quick to let you know they use noscript.

Or is this mocking the whole debate anyway. Somehow I think I'll regret having pondered it this long anyway.

edit: I'm sorry, I'm glad I flagged this. This is garbage. The troll is already proud of the response he's gained, it's pretty obvious looking at those who've tweeted this, that they don't know what to make of it either: https://twitter.com/#!/idiot/status/203403905500069888 and the image: http://i.imgur.com/JMFd6.jpg (Especially given that this is undoubtedly aimed at me.)
Buffett should understand by now that it's bad to be getting into the buggy business when the automobile shows up on the scene. He's obviously looking to get one last puff out of the classic cigar butt scenario, but he lost big on that type of gamble with Berkshire Hathaway textiles (obviously BRK is no longer under threat of a modest bet like this putting a dent in their company).

may have passed the point where HN first views make a difference

Something is evolving. It might be YC, and HN needs to keep up. Fascinating.
As an Turkish citizen living in Turkey. this move is bold but too early move. Also it's nothing about killing books. It's just a AKP(the ruling party) pr move without any bases.

We even lack the tech to run governmental sites in a stable and secure way. Forget about making this kind of technological movement worthy for the kids.

These will be highly restricted tablets - even not working outside of classrooms -, and with highly censored Internet. We have a tendency to restrict any sites against Islamic creationism so most of any pro-evolution or even scientific evolution ones will be restricted. I believe they will put the kids on a "white-listed" restriction zone.

Other than these points, we lack a decent educational system. Every government has been trying to circumvent the system according to their views and change curriculum, exam and admission ways annually. And there are too many children lacking the basic thinking and reading abilities. So these tablets won't make any good to them.

-- loosely related political point of view start --

Even governments have been circumventing how long and "how" the education system is. This year AKP legislated an education system of 4+4+4 which means, well I have no fucking idea! But as much as I've heard it would make possible 4 year old kids to be admitted for elementary school which will have "optional" Quran and "Prophet Muhammad" lessons and women to be continue education without attending the last 4 years.

-- loosely related political point of view end --

In the light of these information, I again don't believe this bold move means anything for the children. It's just a pr and social engineering move.
I was chatting to a recruitment consultant a while back (we were hiring rather than my looking) and they were saying that something like 90% of people who accept a counter offer leave within a year. If you're unhappy somewhere unless money is the reason you're unhappy, a counter offer (assuming as most are it's just financial) isn't going to change that.

The only way you should consider a counter offer is if it really addresses the reasons you're looking to leave and you really believe that they'll deliver on it.
They said the same about the internet but most kids just play games or go on Facebook :-)

I read a recent study by teachers using iPads in the classroom - they said that they didn't help learning as the children just played games or messed around with them instead.
"Simple economics" is an oxymoron. Theory of value goes far beyond the market price as the final judgement of value.

On even a higher level, economics just describes possible outcomes of a game under a set of rules. It does not prevent us from using our own judgement of fairness on the rules themselves.

Your analogy is flawed. When you sit for an exam you agree not to cheat (whether explicitly, as a student who has signed acceptance of an offer to study subject to the institution's regulations, or owing to the law of the land).

I don't think anybody is arguing everything should be free and uncopyrightable. People are simply observing that preventing information flow is difficult, and - whether you like it or not - there are plenty of people out there who don't share your sense of ethics. Furthermore, much data is uncopyrightable (facts) and it's only the presentation and organisation of the data that is copyrightable. If your business can be destroyed because somebody copied your data I'm sorry to say but you didn't actually have a business to begin with.
So much linkbait...
I can't even, honestly, tell if that's the point. I don't care. I'm a developer who has used jquery and half a dozen other libraries at various times. I think it has pros and cons and I tire of the "always javascript, never javascript" just as I tire of "democrats suck, republicans suck".

Email addresses, agreed, not so much. But one thing that annoys me where I work is our logins are of the form 'u0123456' (roughly sequentially allocated, but starting from 0100000)... and they're tied to our source control system. So you look through the commit logs, and all you can see are Unumbers - no names. Half the whiteboards in the office are covered in lookup tables of U-to-name.

It's a real downer when someone joins the company too - pretty much the first thing you have tell them is "you're a number now - everything in the company is accessed by this number". You can see in their eyes an "oh shit what have I gotten into" moment.
I'm evaluating D3 and other libs for charting. If you could provide more details on specific things that were slow, resource heavy or buggy, that would be very useful.
JS is not really good, sadly. Harmony is looking better all the time, but still nowhere near as sane as most other dynamic languages.

clarification edit:
Of course, I'm not looking for a definitive answer. just asking for fun. Think of this as a estimation/guesstimation question.
He didn't change his mind about being unable to predict the outcomes of technology companies at all. In fact, he reinforced that very statement in discussing having purchased IBM.

He bought IBM because, in his own words, he no longer considers it an unpredictable technology company (subject to changing trends), but rather a company that services infrastructure, like a plumber. He sees an IBM that is no longer highly subject to unexpected shifts in technology. They're more like Accenture than the IBM of 1980 at this point.

He didn't change, IBM did. It's why you won't see him doing very many more tech investments. Intel is a far more curious investment on his part than IBM, but it was a piddling investment compared to IBM.

He was right about newspapers, and he's breaking his own rules. He'll buy almost anything at the right price, and that's the case here, he's buying a cigar butt.

The greatest thing about Buffett is his unwillingness to change. It's his dedication to not changing his principles that has kept him from blowing up as most do over such a long duration. Instead he tries to follow the same strict capital allocation rules that work over and over and over again, and always will.
Good luck getting this government to consider the Constitutionality of any bill (or executive order, for that matter) they pass.

That is why I insist on communication via chat clients when I'm busy. I'm not immediately interrupted as I would be if someone walks up or shouts out as I can ignore the little flash of the chat window on the task tray for a few minutes, sometimes tens of minutes, while I bring my train of thought to a more orderly stop.

If people start with "Hi, I have a problem" and don't state what the problem is I just respond with "drop me the details and I'll have a quick think" and get back to my work. Even if they respond immediately to that it might take me ten or fifteen minutes to get look at their message again - that is their time wasted, not mine.

Some problems require a more urgent response so I'll accept a walk-up or a shout for those, and some problems are best illustrated by showing them than describing them, I just have to trust people to know what they are and what is less urgent. And of course a message will come in at a time when I am eminently interruptible, in which case people get an immediate response anyway.

I find it works except for people who insist on not following the process, but they soon learn I'm far more helpful if they don't irritate me!
FWIW Lotuses aren't very expensive cars.
Yeah, seeing how Schumer and Casey are hell-bent on making an example of him, he probably will end up paying WAY more than 67 million. He'll end up paying with his citizenship if they get their way.
I completely buy the idea that there's potential for new learning tools in tablets (or any computing device over books) but has anyone actually done it? Has anyone moved from potential and successfully effected this? At the very least tell me you're going to makes copies of lectures and video examples of everything available.

Changing from paper to electronic still images is kinda "meh".

Are you asking for a definitive figure or perhaps even a tentative figure? Because the answer is infinite. Once we hit the ceiling of storage, we just add more space to accommodate our needs, there's no definite figure. I'm sure perhaps a statistician could maybe work out some kind of vague figure that would be invalidated the moment it's published. It's like asking how much oxygen is available to the human race, trees are being planted and contributing oxygen all of the time, there's no figure on how many trees there are exactly, only estimates.
