I'd be really interested to see how your set-up works. Would it be possible for you to share your files/code and a short description of how you implemented your set-up? I am happy for you to remove/sanitize sensitive details relating to your portfolio. However, I would love to understand how I can develop a solution like this for myself.

Thank you for your help.


What I have is a sheet which says how many of each asset I own, and the desired allocation. Then, there is a cell that calculates the current allocation, based on the number of shares, and the current price of the share.

The current price of the share is fetched from another sheet using a vlookup. That sheet is populated by the script. The script is here! https://gist.github.com/2717042

The overall system is based on research I found here: http://seekingalpha.com/article/15134-the-seeking-alpha-etf-...

Lovely design, but unfortunately loading times are super slow for me... The header and footer loads fine, but the loading graphic for the middle section was turning for approx. 60-90 seconds before the content loaded :(

Then, once the content is loaded, the animation between the "About Framous > Select a layout > Select Photos > Select a Frame > Get Framous!" pages also takes too long, which spoils the user experience in my opinion.

Great start though. If you can improve these issues, I think you will have a really nice site.


Yes, super slow for me as well. Love the concept though!


Will this be available for playback later also? Timezone differences mean it will be hard to tune in live.


Same here. Anyone know if there's a transcript for this or later playback?


Starts right now


I think billybob is arguing that a short message/url like "Find this device online: www.example.com/device" is better than both "Find this device online: {QR Code}" AND "Visit http://www.example.com/cms/products/industrial?product=09278....


This could also be an awesome way to disrupt the courier business in cities.

e.g. sender logs a job online (& provides payment details), sender prints a barcode sticker, sender drops off package with the building doorman/concierge and/or walks to designated quadcopter landing zone adjacent building, outgoing package scanned and loaded onto quad-copter, quad-copter delivers package to recipient's landing zone, quad-copter/system sends notification to recipient to advise that package has been delivered, recipient goes to quad-copter landing zone to collect package, recipient scans barcode or provides electronic signature to acknowledge receipt.

Terms & Conditions: Anyone who implements this idea (or minor variation) must give hook and I a $1 royalty each for every job logged ;)


If you don't mind me asking... How do you afford these cars at such a young age?


It's a long story but at the end it's a combination of strong salary, extreme tax advantages, and sales from a startup medical services firm.


Consider the stats at the end of the article for a moment.

The total value of YC companies is $3 billion. While, the total amount invested by YC is $5 million.

Very impressive results when you consider that YC takes about a 6% stake for its initial investment. Congratulations to all involved.

As suggested, I just tried to change the title but the "edit" option is no longer available for this item on my submissions page... Any ideas?
