I find it interesting because it is the only data that exist that can quantify and contextualize the anecdotal reports of the volume and impact of helicopter use at Davos.
"We went to all this trouble because there is perennial fascination with the flying habits of the 2,800 Davos delegates. Use of private aircraft, though often wildly overstated, highlights the vast wealth and power that descends upon this small skiing town in the Swiss Alps each year. And their transportation choices are frequently criticized for their environmental impact at a conference that seeks solutions to reducing carbon emissions, among other topics."
I was on the island of Sint Maarten for a while. Its a hub in the Caribbean for megayachts and superyachts. You should have a look there around Christmas... Talking about helicopters, wealth and power... And there are many more of those of places and events around the world.
Of course once you’ve made enough money it would be impossible to put it all into one stock without drastically affecting the stock’s price. Before long, you’d find that there were not enough shares to buy, or that you had purchased an entire company—a situation that we ignored for our analysis.
While we're here, what problem are you trying to solve by writing this article? It's hard for me to believe that you really think that snapping a photo is a dangerous distraction while paging through sectionals or check-lists isn't.
"“Did you take the strats?” asked one (meaning Goldman’s trading strategies). “No,” said Serge. That was one thing the prosecutors hadn’t accused him of."
"McSwain [the FBI agent] later conceded that he didn’t seek out independent expert advice to study the code Serge Aleynikov had taken. (“I relied on statements from Goldman employees.”) "
"the F.B.I. had not sought help from someone who actually knew anything at all about computers or the high-frequency-trading business"
The President is the only one authorized by Section 337 to take this action. Although the President assigned his authority to the trade representative on his behalf, this action is only permitted under the law to the extent it is done by the President.
(1) If the Commission determines that there is a violation of this section, or that, for purposes of subsection (e) of this section, there is reason to believe that there is such a violation, it shall—
[...]
(B) transmit to the President a copy of such determination and the action taken.... If, before the close of the 60-day period beginning on the day after the day on which he receives a copy of such determination, the President, for policy reasons, disapproves such determination and notifies the Commission of his disapproval, then, effective on the date of such notice, such determination and the action taken under subsection (d), (e), (f), (g), or (i) of this section with respect thereto shall have no force or effect."
My point is not that you shouldn't use your phone how you please, it was that the current state of technology forces us to use them in a manner consistent with a pocket watch. There's a reason people dont use pocket watches anymore.
As I point out, some electronics makers are future looking enough to see the value in a wrist worn device. I'm also pointing out that over time multiple devices tend to combine into fewer devices, and we should advocate for one of those devices to be similar to a watch. It's a proven form factor, just like pocket watches are a disproven form factor.
