Every company mid sized onwards has dedicated FP&A teams that do rolling forecasts at least 2 quarters into the future and also have an operating plan (budget) decided before the FY begins. Projections go out to Wall Street. Executives look at top line summaries, upcoming revenue streams, profitability ratios and so on. Decisions are made on those numbers

only 5 lines of javascript in the whole infernal thing. No thanks, I won't be having any of that in my program

I feel exactly the same way. HTMX is a godsend. That and a Tailwind UI purchase can make anybody very dangerous at frontend. I'm curious for other viewpoints though: what exactly about js gives that icky feeling. For me it's just the inconsistent syntax. With TS, on the other hand just seeing a node modules folder makes me nauseous. The whole thing gives me a feeling of a lack of control over what's happening and has thrown me off front end for many years until now

Thank you so much for Appwrite! The community on Discord is very helpful and the self hosting guide is great. Very unlike my terrible experience with Supabase who seem to do their best to cripple the self hosted option

It might be just me, but I think reading hard sci-fi is much more educational and memorable, not to mention entertaining, than non fiction

Spoilers for Three Body Problem: For instance, I can never forget the way the Alcubierre drive is explained in the final book, or the benefits of particle accelerator with the circumference of the asteroid belt

And the fact is: the CEO did not. It's deception, plain and simple. Not big, evil, Theranos-level deception, but deception still.

If you think the blog post is bad, just watch the video on windsor's website: https://www.windsor.io/#video

The CEO plainly says he has time to work on other important things. Jesus, even creating the video in the first place, requires you to say Hey First Name

Apologies for commenting before reading the article. But I'm curious what the sales process is for spyware. I understand the underground groups do all their stuff anonymously, but what sales ops do legitimate companies like NSO Group practice? Do they have sales targets/quotas? Do they vet their clients? What channels do they sell through?

Hey, I'd give anything for more people to be interested in space! If saying something like it rains diamonds on a planet to make people at least mildly interested in this kind of thing, I'm all for it, even though such a thing is banal at the cosmic scale

Taste buds also become much less sensitive at high altitudes apparently

Please, humans are overrated. They lie, they cheat, they conceal and they are certainly biased. In my city an unmarried couple or people of certain religions are not allowed to rent some places

There is a medical revolution in the pipes having to do with metabolism and inflammation.

Could you please elaborate and perhaps link relevant literature, I've been fascinated with inflammation

The sophistication is relevant because he proves that the vulnerability he originally reported could take over any icloud account but he wasn't able to do so himself as it was patched between the time he first reported it and 8 months later when he tries it again. Apple then seems to refuse to acknowledge this and offers only 18K vs. 350K

I don't think the value proposition of an always-on device connected to a vast advertising network is very high to begin with

This is more of a hacker perspective though. All my non technical friends have been seduced by offers of either Alexa or Google Home. Because in my region, they are commonly sold at a huge price discount with almost any medium to large purchase. EX: Buy a laptop - Google Home at 50% off

If it succeeds even a little, though, they'll bake it into our TVs

My mom LOVES being able to search for content using Alexa on the Firestick remote, so this is the most terrifying and likely possibility by far

I want to call out that while the implication in the title might be true, nothing in the article provides any proof. By proof, I mean something like a quote from a big tech honcho to the effect of 'I don't see a future in India'. The article just spouts recent tech happenings in the last 3 years or so (chronologically beginning with Facebook's troubles pushing Free Basics on the Indian market, rightfully rejected)

I'd like to take your comment a step further, if you don't mind

I stopped watching baseball when this scandal was uncovered.

Do you really think that this is the only scandal that's going on right now? Or that it started with this particular instance? There's probably so much going on behind the scenes since decades now that the sport has likely never been fair or clean. And this is not just baseball, it's with every sport up to and including the Olympics

I guess I'm just trying to understand why people watch sports in the first place. Because for the vast majority, it is almost ALWAYS because it's an exhibition game and/or entertainment and the notion of fair play is the last thing on their minds..

You know I used to think exactly like this when I was younger, but nowadays, I realize that putting the burden of understanding technology on the user is very unfair. Just because someone is worth half a million dollars doesn't mean they should automatically know how to identify scam apps...

While the series is funded by and will be aired on Netflix, it is unlikely that the streaming behemoth is aware of how the producers of the show are soliciting talent

Literally a line from the article. Clickbait headline

Home workout equipment - kettle bells, dumbbells, weight plates, barbell and a pull-up bar but most especially the squat rack

I understand the sentiment behind the post, but what exactly is the author proposing? The tech is out there, most people seem aware such a thing exists and yet she wants us all to be angry at something...?

millions of women who will reconsider whether they want to be in a public facing role at all — is an existential problem for representative democracy.

Wow, really? Seems like needless fear mongering to me

I'm keen to see Starlink deals with government censorship requests. Can a country even effectively enforce their requests? How will China enforce the Great Firewall for instance?

You seem to have described nations and religions as well. It applies to anything with a large number of interest groups involved

Can someone help me out with my cognitive dissonance. On the one hand, I keep reading about how climate change will destroy everything very soon and the first person to die of serious climate change has already been born and on the other hand, there's always hopeful news like this... If the first is true why bother with renewable energy at all and why celebrate it as a milestone. If the latter is true, then what's the point of worrying about the climate at all?

Wallstreetbets user activity is very similar to the_donald and weekendgunnit.

What?! I mean sure the culture at both is very meme focused but the similarities pretty much end there

Pray tell me, what is the benign reason for all the territorial aggression that China is showing? Is the West supposed to ignore all that and the 'whole world will win'?

I'm curious what Americans think of this situation. There seems to be a separate rule set where right wing news sources are outright banned in the US but in other countries it's the exact opposite. Related news in India right now:

Personally, I think Facebook, Twitter et al should never have regulated content and should have censored things only after a valid court order is received (from local jurisdictions). Everything else should have been the wild west

There are no communities like this because of Eternal September like phenomena. If HN acquires a million readers tomorrow, it'll be unrecognizable very soon. Nicheness on its own creates valuable communities. Another contributing factor is the 'appalling' UI. I love it, everyone else on HN loves it but an outsider is immediately repelled

I predict that in 5 years Dell, HP and Lenovo will be struggling. Time will tell...

I mean most casual users don't use laptops already, either preferring their phones or tablets. Those that do, need it for work (or a nicher crowd - gaming). And there's no way in hell the primary buyers of Dell, HP and lenovo computers, companies, with no reason to pay the apple tax will pay for expensive 1000$+ MBPs for each employee

If you want to buy it wait a couple of days for the steam sale coming up

Can you really blame the academy though? They've been hammered pretty much non stop by comedians and popular media that they're not inclusive enough with absolutely no one defending them probably in fear of getting canceled. And once this happens, everybody throws their hands up and says no that's not really what we wanted. The real issue here is that everybody's got a mouth these days...

We need to embrace neurodiversity, not stigmatize it.

Or stop needlessly labeling things

You sure about the causation there? It could very well be that iPhone market power propelled those products and the products without the brand behind it would not stand on their own
