- Comment on After earning $544 million in its most recent quarter, Unity says even more layoffs are 'likely' 7 months 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.

- Comment on After earning $544 million in its most recent quarter, Unity says even more layoffs are 'likely' 7 months 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' 7 months 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 7 months 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.

- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
I would. I didn’t have HBO growing up so I missed out on so much of their TV shows. I got it 2 years ago and had no issue paying $300 for 2 years. Got to watch a lot of shows I always wanted to watch. It doesn’t have a big enough catalog to keep me subscribing for a 3rd year.

Not quite just voice but still impressive
