- Comment on YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know 3 weeks ago:
To hope you find new content. YouTube had been putting random low watch count videos in my feed. I never click on them because of their low view count. The thumbsnails make them look like they’re high quality videos. Without the view count I have no idea if they have 1,000 views or millions. They’re hoping I will click on them, subscribe, and spend more time in the app.

- Comment on “Immensely disappointing”: Nike killing app for $350 self-tying sneakers 4 months ago:
Running shoes will focus on function with support, breathability, moisture wicking, and breathability. They aren’t necessarily the most comfy shoes to walk in because your gait is different walking vs running. The front of the shoe will have more cushion to help support you pushing off in your running stride.
Sneakers are meant to be more stylish everyday shoe. They focus more on form over function.
You’re right there can be overlap. Adidas ultra boosts are stylish enough to be worn every day and are technically a running shoe. Not a lot of runners use them but they do offer the function of a running shoe.

- Comment on After earning $544 million in its most recent quarter, Unity says even more layoffs are 'likely' 1 year ago:
Revenue is how much you sold stuff for. Profit is how much did you make after paying for everything to run your business. They got $544M but spent $668M, so they didn’t make a profit.

My kind of post
- Comment on After earning $544 million in its most recent quarter, Unity says even more layoffs are 'likely' 1 year ago:
It’s a bit more complicated than that. There are a lot of accounting tricks to be constantly making losses but end up cash flow positive.
I don’t work or invest in Unity so I don’t have a great understanding of their metrics but companies I worked at would constantly capitalize new projects to add expenses in the future. You can structure sales deals so a new feature is added late in the contract. That pushes revenue out, but you can collect more cash early.
If unity didn’t do share buy backs this quarter, they would have a positive cash flow. Which points to they should be a profitable company but instead are using accounting tricks to post losses to lower tax bills.
- Comment on After earning $544 million in its most recent quarter, Unity says even more layoffs are 'likely' 1 year ago:
They didn’t earn $544M, they had $544M in revenue. They lost $124M but it’s all due to their decisions. They have a great operating margin in the 60s and spent all the money elsewhere.

- Comment on Don't worry - AI will actually make your jobs better, Microsoft says | TechRadar 1 year ago:
That is what happens with technology. Fewer people doing the same work. Before Excel it would take hundreds of finance professionals to manage budgets, now it’s a dozen.
The question is if there is enough new work to go around for people now that a lot of basic tasks are getting automated with AI. It so, more work will be available for people, if not, expect a lot more unemployment.
