I recently added price charts to my mobile portfolio tracker app, FINARKY, and wanted to share some of the design decisions behind them, like focusing on percent changes instead of raw prices or handling interaction.
There’s a lot of work there!
I’ve also developed a portfolio tracker as a side project ( https://finarky.com/ ). It’s much simpler, minimalistic (that’s how I like it), and at the same time provides the Personal Rate of Return, which I miss in other more-featured and cluttered apps (with features that i don’t need).
I don't know, but this Morningstar article from 2013 says...
"Even though personal rates of return are crucial numbers for any investor trying to reach a goal, few fund families provide these returns on investors' account statements. Why not? Many fund companies brush off any suggestions for improved disclosure by arguing that providing more information would only confuse investors, or by pointing to surveys showing that shareholders are satisfied with the status quo."

In any case, for me, the PRR is the best measure I know to understand how my portfolio is performing. I don't think it's confusing... if my PRR is 10%, it means that a fixed-rate account with a 10% APY would have provided the same returns when applying to it the same cash inflows and outflows as my investments. I think that effectively communicates the performance of the portfolio (and lets me compare it with other portfolios, or particular investments).
I think European regulations like GDPR or cookie laws have made the Internet worse, not better. They're not effective and make things more complicated for everyone.
I think that people in government should design rules to provide equal opportunities to everyone. I think that will benefit you even if you see yourself only as a consumer. I agree with what the article says, the European regulations only benefit the bigger companies, which have the resources to handle the red tape.
Don't forget articles 15 and 17 (former 11 and 13 I think) of the copyright directive. Link taxes and content filters which only benefit the big tech corps.
I disagree on the GDPR one. It's the only piece of legislation that protects my data online.
Prior to GDPR any data that you create wasn't yours and was freely sold, traded and aggregated. Even if you asked Google, Facebook or whoever for YOUR data to be sent back to you; they wouldn't be obligated to.
I think that when there's regulation, the problem is that sometimes filing a complaint may take too much time, and same for the police to check anything. It should be automated.
I submitted this to Hacker News some months ago, and seems relevant here...
I assume that in order to find images of relevant outfits for the expressed "needs", the images have to be tagged with colors, brands, garment types... If that tagging is manual, I wonder if it could be automated using the object detection feature of an image analysis service like Amazon Rekognition or Google Cloud Vision.
Maybe automated tagging would allow richer tagging, and that could be key to find the best results for each user's taste.
This will be a great social experiment...even more so when there are 500k Model 3s around, competing with the Model S/X crowd for the same superchargers.
Paying $10 for an extra 20 mins to finish their coffee may be worth it to someone in a $100k Model S, less likely for a $40k Model 3...
Maybe Tesla should consider the following: All the time passed the point your battery is charged is deducted from you next charging session.
For example: Your battery charges in 30 minutes, but you stay at the station for an hour (30 minutes of charging + 30 minutes of idling). Next time you go to a charging station you get penalized for a certain amount of time (percentage of you idle time). Of course, this will probably never happen, but it would get the point across!
I don't agree. Planck (https://github.com/mfikes/planck) is quick and great for command line utilities written in ClojureScript. It runs on macOS' built-in JavaScriptCore. There's also an alpha version that runs on Ubuntu.
Feedback welcome!
