"Accounting for exposure to the market beta, size, value, momentum, betting against alpha, quality and leverage factors explains a large part of Buffett's past performance. In other words, accounting for the general tendency of high quality, safe and cheap stocks to outperform can explain much of Buffett's performance. In fact, controlling for these factors makes Buffett's alpha or his ability as a manager to produce returns in excess of the risk taken through factor exposure, statistically insignificant."

Under today’s system of fractional reserve banking, all commercial banks are technically insolvent, since they would go bankrupt if everyone with the right to withdraw their money decided to do so at the same time. Fractional reserve banking is the reason why commercial banks are so vulnerable to bad news and economic downturns and so rely on central banks to be saved.

quote from Commisar Danilov in Enemy at the Gates (2001): "I've been such a fool, Vassili. Man will always be a man. There is no new man. We tried so hard to create a society that was equal, where there'd be nothing to envy your neighbour. But there's always something to envy. A smile, a friendship, something you don't have and want to appropriate. In this world, even a Soviet one, there will always be rich and poor. Rich in gifts, poor in gifts. Rich in love, poor in love."

Except not with blackjack and hookers, because blackjack would require complexity and interactivity and hookers would mean capitalism and advertising. But definitely no Homers.

Power consumption:

• ASUS VivoPC normal: 15W. Firefox spinning fans: 35W
• Dell Vostro is about 65W.
• Raspberry Pi 3: 2.4W

Assume electricity unit rate is 30p per kWh. There are 8760 hrs in a year. So the running cost for a Pi 3 is 0.3*8760*2.4/1000 = £6.31. Pretty good.

"Useless Tree"

A carpenter and his apprentice were walking together through a large forest. And when they came across a tall, huge, gnarled, old, beautiful oak tree, the carpenter asked his apprentice: “Do you know why this tree is so tall, so huge, so gnarled, so old and beautiful?” The apprentice looked at his master and said: “No…why?”

“Well,” the carpenter said, “because it is useless. If it had been useful it would have been cut long ago and made into something else.
