From the manufacturers to the team who worked on the OS (it is embedded-C RTOS) to those who made the player, and to Jio's 4G network, a delicate and intricate web of things makes this happen 🙏😇

It's remarkable how many people who've never run any kind of company think they know how to run a tech company better than someone who's run Tesla and SpaceX.

1) Discovered a bug from the replies. Old photos were getting deleted from the gallery. Fixed them now.
2) Passed some plot-related feedback to the storytellers.
3) Added a few content suggestions (Reels, etc.) to the roadmap.

It is interesting to see: how people, who have not run a neighbourhood, have the most to say about Kim Jong Un should run his country.

Apne apne interpretation hain Civics ke 😀
My interpretation is "my vote is my voice". It is what I have to say about the elections in my constituency. If I expressed approval for someone, they'd have my vote. If I reject all candidates, my vote says that.
Their last 25 tests
Rahane: 2 hundreds. 7 fifties. Avg of 31. Dropped
Dhawan: 5 hundreds. 4 fifties. Avg of 41. Dropped
Vijay: 6 hundreds. 3 fifties. Avg of 33. Dropped
Rahul: 3 hundreds. 3 fifties. Avg of 27. Playing
Not saying dropping Rahane, Dhawan, or Vijay was a bad idea
I have a lot of regard for KL Rahul’s talent and ability, but sadly his performances have been well below par. A test average of 34 after 46 tests and more than 8 years in international cricket is ordinary. Can’t think of many who have been given so many chances. Especially..cont

When people talk about great teams, they'll talk about hard work, trust, respect, looking out for one another, etc. All good things.
But there's one quality amongst teammates on great teams that often goes unrecognized by all but the most astute organizational observers:

Microsoft found that organizational structure was by far the strongest predictor of code quality and that org metrics could predict product bugs better than code metrics.

The decentralized & autonomous nature of cryptocurrencies always threatened the state's monopoly on money, and through it, its primary source of revenue, i.e. taxes. So a bill like this was always on the horizon.

the real gap in the western zeitgeist is the absence of the concept of uncle and unclehood as it exists in the east.
the east is ruled by uncles. the men all know that they will become an uncle when they get past a certain age and state of mind.
but the west does not know.

The number one reason your code sucks is an inability to separate layers of abstraction. Code that deals with the OS, that uses the framework and that does business logic is all crammed together in one toxic bhel puri of abstraction.

Good on you to measure impact this way.
But given that these grads would have earned *some* salary even if Scaler didn't exist, you might wanna consider measuring _incremental_ addition instead.

Tks. Will consider that.
Unlikely we'll have 0 pre-rolls. I know our sports rights economics won't work out if we did that given that we stream for free.

Criticising is fast & easy. And so is dismissing criticism on that count alone.
Besides, if you're asking me to pay for it, I don't care if you took 2 years to make a shit movie. If it's bad, imma criticise it. And no, I don't need to be a filmmaker to earn the right to do that.
Criticizing is fast and easy. Creating is slow and difficult.
The two hours you spent on a book or movie usually took two years to produce.
Anyone can tear down someone else's work. The true test of insight is whether you can help them improve it or build something of your own.

Such confident film-making!
Completely different from anything he's made & anything you've seen
I have many problems with the story (particularly, how it ends), but the craft of the master director left me gasping 🤯
One of my all time favourite films.
RGV & the stellar cast got a lot of well-deserved plaudits, but the unsung heroes were Hemant Chaturvedi for his sepia closeups,
Jaideep Sahni for his uncompromising story & taut dialogues, Chandan Arora for his sharp cuts, and Dwarak Warrier
Company turns 22. Released on this day in 2002.
RGV's Magnum Opus, in my opinion.
Such a brilliantly crafted scene. So much tension and anxiety in the air. Why can't we make such kind of films anymore?

Finally, marketing ROI is a nebulous subject.
Many want the LTV/CAC of that particular brand marketing intervention to be >1. Many think of it as an investment in 'brand equity'.
