In 1962, Warren Buffett began buying Berkshire Hathaway stock for his investment fund, Buffett Partnership Ltd., at $7.50 per share, anticipating that as the company liquidated textile mills there would come a tender offer when he could sell the shares at a profit. A year later, Buffett's fund owned 7% of the company.[17] In 1964, Buffett offered to sell his shares back to the company for $11.50 each.[17] Seabury Stanton, the manager of Berkshire Hathaway, told Buffett orally that he had a deal.[17] A few weeks later, Warren Buffett received the tender offer in writing, but the tender offer was for only $11.375 per share. Buffett later admitted that this lower, undercutting offer made him angry.[18] Instead of selling at the slightly lower price, Buffett bought more of the stock at an even higher price to take control of the company and fire Stanton; Stanton and his son resigned in 1965.[19] However, this left Buffett's fund with a major interest in a declining textile business.
Hi! The way to think about it is that Unicode is just a way to encode text as a series of numbers (codepoints), but Unicode itself doesn’t specify how those numbers are stored on disk or sent over the wire in a network. One obvious way to store the numbers is to encode them as four-byte integers (Unicode codepoints will never exceed the limit of what can be stored in four bytes), which is what UTF-32 does. That’s inefficient though, because frequently-used and infrequently-used codepoints all take up four bytes. UTF-8 is an encoding scheme for Unicode that lets you encode frequently-used codepoints with as little as one byte (in the case of ASCII chatacters). UTF-16 falls in between, representing everything as either two bytes or four bytes.

There’s no denying that S3 is a feat of engineering. Building and Operating a Pretty Big Storage System is a top-tier technology flex. But S3’s feature set is falling behind its competitors. Notably, S3 has no compare-and-swap (CAS) operation—something every single other competitor has. It also lacks multi-region buckets and object appends. Even S3 Express is proving to be lackluster.
