  Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett talks about how investors can get rid of the pressure to predict stock markets. Veteran investor Warren Buffett believes that people should not become preoccupied with finding the perfect time to invest in stocks. Instead, they should just buy them, keep an eye on the market and decide whether they want to sell or buy more, Warren Buffett had said at annual shareholders meeting of his company Berkshire Hathaway last month, according to CNBC. Buffett said this strategy, which his business partner Charlie Munger also follows, will, to some extent, save investors from the stress of having to predict the stock market. Buffett added that this investing skill can be learnt in “fourth grade” but schools do not teach it. He also reflected on how when he tried to predict the market twice -- once at the start of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 and a second time during the Great Recession of 2008 -- his company suffered “We were optimistic in 2008 wh

Tesla still sells far more cars, but it took firm a decade to deliver as many electric vehicles as Hyundai and Kia have managed in a few short months Pipe down for a second Elon, the hottest things in the auto industry — the most electric electrics — now come from Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Corp. Earlier this year, the South Korean carmakers rolled out two new battery-powered cars — the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and its sibling, the Kia EV6 — which promptly tore up the sales charts, passing the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt and every other electric vehicle on the market not made by Tesla. In the US this year through May, Hyundai and Kia sold 21,467 of these two machines, besting even the white-hot Ford Mustang Mach-E, which was snapped up by 15,718 drivers. “From an EV perspective, they’re really just kind of cleaning the floor,” said Edmunds analyst Joseph Yoon. “I honestly don’t know if any dealers around me have any in stock.” TESLA still sells far more cars, but it took the company a decade to

 Global Finance selects the world's 10 best cities to live in based on eight metrics, including pandemic response. MARCH 14, 2022Author: Marc Getzoff (collected) Global Finance's 2022 best cities to live in ranking is derived from a score that reflects eight distinct metrics: economic strength; research and development; cultural interaction; livability; environment; accessibility; Covid-19 deaths per thousand for the country; and annual population growth rate. These factors are all critical for quantifying the quality of life of people living in urban areas. All of the metrics were normalized in order to properly quantify them into a single overall score and provide a measure of comparison. Where did we get the data? The first six factors (economic strength, research and development, cultural interaction, livability, environment, and accessibility) come from the Global City Power index. This study provides a myriad of scores that quantify different aspects of city life includin

  Samsung just announced the ISOCELL HP3 sensor as the successor to last year’s ISOCELL HP1 sensor, which we are yet to see in smartphones. The new sensor industry’s smallest 0.56-micrometer (μm)-pixels, which is 12% smaller pixel size than the predecessor’s 0.64μm, packing 200 million pixels in a 1/1.4” optical format compared to 1/1.22″ in the HP1. The ISOCELL HP3 can enable an approximately 20% reduction in camera module surface area, allowing smartphone manufacturers to keep their premium devices slim, said Samsung. Super QPD The Super QPD solution offers autofocusing capabilities to all the sensors. In addition, Super QPD uses a single lens over four-adjacent pixels to detect the phase differences in both horizontal and vertical directions. This paves way for a more accurate and quicker autofocusing for smartphone camera users, said Samsung. It offers 8K at 30 frames-per-second (fps) or 4K at 120fps video recording, with minimal loss in the field of view when taking 8K videos. Tet
