Understanding a SWOT Analysis
Understanding a SWOT analysis

SWOT analysis is a method for evaluating the performance, competition, risk, and potential of a business, as well as a part of a business such as a product line, division, industry, or other entity.

توصيات العملات

SWOT analysis was first used for business analysis. Now it's often used by governments, nonprofits, and individuals, including investors and business.

Example of a SWOT analysis
توصيات الذهب
Five years later, the SWOT analysis of the Value Line has proven effective as Coca-Cola remains the sixth strongest brand in the world (as it was at the time). The value of Coca-Cola shares (traded under the ticker symbol KO) rose by more than 60% in the five years after the analysis was completed.

توصيات الذهب

The strengths describe what the organization excels at and what separates it from the competition: a strong brand, a loyal customer base, a strong balance sheet, unique technology, etc. For example, a hedge fund may have developed a proprietary trading strategy that returns results of outperforming the market. You must then decide how to use these results to attract new investors.

Weaknesses prevent the organization from performing at an optimum level. They are areas where the business needs improvement to remain competitive: weak brand, above average turnover, high levels of debt, insufficient supply chain, or lack of capital.

Advantages of a SWOT Analysis

A SWOT analysis is a great way to guide business strategy meetings. It is a powerful thing to have everyone in the room discussing the company's core strengths and weaknesses and then move from there to identify opportunities and threats, and finally share ideas. Often times, the SWOT analysis you envision before a session changes all the time to reflect factors you were not aware of and would never have picked up without group input.

Speaking of NSA, libsodium looks nice, but isn't anyone a bit worried that it's still hosted on Github ?

That Microsoft is in bed with NSA is common knowledge at this point, and that the libsodium authors choose to (keep being) associate(d) with them doesn't exactly fill me with confidence…

(yes, the actual risk of NSA messing with the repository without libsodium authors' knowledge is probably very low, but still, it doesn't give the best impression… )

comeon, like someone said below, GraphQL is just newest Corba/SOAP thing. A language to define interfaces, i.e. contracts. Whatever you make of them or with them. And whatever you make your server do on them.

How well you do it, is.. up to you. Languages and making them are extremely powerful tools, ehm, if you master them.
And in any case, one can abuse any thing, by lazyness or by misunderstanding, and grind it into snailing or halt. Anything.

Here, defining and implementing something like graphcool exposing interesting part of (django) query-ORM into a simple language, took about 3-4k lines server side, +under 1k client-side, mostly utility stuff. Except graphene/graphql/django on python on server, nothing else is needed. Zero libraries in client. And now one can talk in that "language" in client, not worry about what server thinks of it, and/or switch the server into another platform/language any time - the contract is defined..
Yes, open source sounds like the right place for ideas like this, for the reasons you mention.

Consider Emacs, whose hundreds of extensions give you this mix-and-match setup, or something similar to it.

I think I might really like working with a system that works in this way, with a bit from here, a bit from there -- but I'd want access to the code, because it would take a lot of tweaking to make things nice.
The sentiment of mutual understanding accross polticial lines expressed in many comments here is beautiful.

However, let's not forget that on election night the current US president clearly proved his staunchest critics right.

What might have happened if Fox News had adopted his "stolen election" narrative?

This is, quite literally, how autocratic strongmen destroy their countries for personal gain. There's more than enough historical precedent from around the world to know the playbook.

You must be pretty young. Gore did the same thing in 2000.
Sorry, this doesn't seem productive anymore, so I'm going to called it a night. I appreciate the perspective.
Interesting. The westbound cables on that map all look like the are going too far South too. It would be interesting to know why.

Looking at the map of the Amitié cable, maybe they try to keep as much of the cable as possible in deep water. https://www.submarinenetworks.com/en/systems/trans-atlantic/...

The election process is still ongoing, the media is simply saying Biden is their guess.

Allegations of cheating will be investigated before we get the final result.
HN is populated by many software engineers, we understand the principle of GIGO - garbage in, garbage out. Voters can be asked for an ordinal preference order or for approval. 99% of voters have these and can explain their choices (which isn't to say their choices are necessarily logical/rational).

Voters do not as a rule have a mathematical score for a candidate, excluding the case where they score equivalently to Approval.

Take a candidate which you did not vote for but do not hate, is your score for the candidate 1, 2 or 3.141529? Can you give an explanation for your score and why it is that exact value and not a bit higher or lower?

Asking people for information they do not have (a mathematical score for each candidate) leads to GIGO - unless just about everyone does Approval, in which case Score's just a more complicated, worse version of Approval.
Ah. The AP. Ideologically it's NTY's parent org. Called #7 before it came down[2]. Amazing really.

I believe there is some evidence to suggest that there was a mistaken correlation between getting older and getting more invested in the world as it is (i.e. getting richer).

Given that the age at which people tend to switch is increasing, I wonder if there may be something to it.
Thanks for the tips - I'm tied to node at the moment - wasm-avif has serious issues with thready safety an memleaks :( tried it.
Own domain and hosting have their set of issues. Like how to make sure you don’t loose your domain to attacker due to phishing attack against your registrar support person.

If you are just an individual you may have difficulties in proving your ownership of a domain in case you loose it.
That's kinda the point
I work in film post production/audio as a freelance mixing engineer. While I have a certain amazement at stuff audiophiles will claim to hear, hearing the difference between compressed and uncompressed is certainly not impossible, but it depends on the signal you use to compare.

I am a cables person, but for me this is more about reliability and ease of use than sound. When I disconnect the cable stuff it ends. When I connect it and I don't use cheap or broken cables they just work. And they also work with somebody elses gear.

There is a reason professional wireless receiver/transmitter bodypacks cost upwards 500€ per pair.
...and you've just turned Phtoshop into a slightly worse version of Gimp. Congratulations. Without adjustment layers and other non-destructive editing features, Photoshop becomes a whole lot less useful as a professional tool.
> If you have three public releases, you probably put in more work overall than if you had only two public releases.

Or maybe you put in less work into each release?
I see comments like this occasionally and I ask myself, what do people who make them actually do? Genuinely? My three main hats are developer, accountant and 3d designer and while most of my accounting work these days is done via web based services none of my dev work or 3d design work. Sure I consume a lot of stuff on the internet but the vast majority of actual creation is done via native software. Some of it is open source especially dev tools, but the most content creation tools are closed source and with the exception of Blender there are no or at least very few open source content creation tools that are widely used professionally in any field that I'm aware of. (Before the OSS fanatics start what abouting about gimp, Krita, openscad etc. please note the caveats of professional and widely used)

Well he did serve half as long as the others, and we did come pretty close to a few. I don't think it's a very good metric regardless though, because it depends hugely on external factors and world politics which the President doesn't have as much control over. As war-mongering as Bush may have been, 9/11 was an external force. If something similar would've happened during Trump's presidency on US ground, I have zero doubt he would've started another war.
That very much depends on how much of those original 146 odd million votes are 'mobile', and with the way people vote straight 'R' or 'D' for life the margins are a lot thinner than you might expect. > 40% of both parties voters would never in a lifetime vote for the other party no matter how terrible the candidate for 'their' party.
Hasn't this been a feature in desktop vms for over a decade? Or am I missing something
I find it much more comfortable.

A standard row-staggered keyboard is terribly asymmetric. With your hands on home row, the distances to the modifier keys are different for left/right; but even the distances to the inner columns of keys aren't symmetric. That asymmetry makes it uncomfortable to use the right-hand modifier keys; and more awkward to type, in general.

It's fairly hard to accurately touch-type the number-row with a standard row-staggered keyboard; but this is more accessible with an ortholinear keyboard.

Moreover, ortholinear keyboards (because they're so niche) tend to have firmware customisation, which allows for some improvements. (e.g. allowing different keyboard 'layers').
Color/ size seem to be the common consensus, and I will work that in. Edges clutter things too much
What’s really unfortunate is you get downvoted for pointing out a fact. Probably by people who complain that the right won’t accept facts.
Even quarantining everyone for a whole month probably wouldn't do it. Did you see that article about the immunosupressed woman who was spraying out viable Covid-19 virus for like 70 days without any visible symptoms of Covid?

I think there's an important distinction between recommendation algorithms, which is how I'd describe what you're referring to, and _algorithms designed to maximise engagement_.

Recommendation algorithms try to provide content that you'll enjoy, like new movies to watch.

Engagement algorithms will try to find content that keeps you engaged, even if that means enraging you. They don't just exploit biases, rather they exploit what triggers you.
Do you realise how combatitive your tone is? What benefits do you think it brings to the discussion?
Every talk should include a link to the slides at the beginning and end of the deck, preferably with a shortened URL. This allows live viewers random access but also improves recorded talks. I often want to evaluate the content of a talk to see if I should invest 30-60 minutes watching. This would also help users with accessibility needs.
How is a single endpoint for all queries a good idea from both front and back end perspectives?
How is writing queries in the front end and exposing those queries a good idea?
How is exposing the back end data structures a good idea?

GraphQL is bad. You increase transparency on the client side and decrease maintainability on the server side. It's the worst of both worlds.
I don't understand how people are advocating it, but then again you know how it goes, "eat more shit, millions of flies can't be wrong"

Plus now you have to learn yet another query language.

It's been well-known for MONTHS that COVID is significantly more deadly than the regular flu.

To still try to downplay COVID and act like it's no worse than a regular flu is, quite frankly, willful ignorance.
> "sorry I gotta install my OS before I can look at <thing>"

Sorry if I'm missing the point, but why does using a terminal program require a whole separate OS? Or, conversely, why does using a graphical program force you to ditch all your terminal programs? Couldn't you just switch to a separate pseudo-tty, or even just use a maximised terminal window? You can switch between terminal programs with the usual tmux key bindings while still being able to "exit" to the GUI when needed.
Many countries now have phone number based payment systems (e.g. Siirto and MobilePay in Finland). So maybe it is a time for universal system?
You're starting from a solution. What exactly is the problem in this case? Generate a balance statement? You will have to divide it into smaller problems until each problem is small enough that it has an obvious solution. The fact that you only need an addition of some numbers in a table is the result of lots of thinking that you just glossed over.
It'd be weird to have access to the command line but not to the jars themselves, I think. Creating a jar is simple if you have a zip program.
The comment is talking about how the gp has their priorities wrong. Separation policy, etc are actual problems, and more important than “my neighbors don’t love this country like I do: they don’t admit to being inspired by its founding myths, they don’t like to sing the anthem or say the pledge of allegiance”. Come on, in a country with a reputation for rough, independent individuals, that’s your top grievance? So the comment has a clear point, and it relates to what the gp stated. That’s a dialogue. You’re the one refusing to further engage with the counterpoint, which is how the dialogue was disrupted.
I’ve spent the best part of a year trying to get on with split and ortholinear layouts and frankly I hate them. I think it’s a design that only works for very orthodox typists, and I don’t find that efficient for me (e.g. I would never ever want to use the same finger for two different keys in succession, that feels maddeningly slow).
>It's also disingenuous to suggest the extreme left isn't dominating the messaging from the left.

Except it's not disengenuous to say that at all. We can see that by the candidates each party has supported. Biden is considered a pretty centrist democrat by pretty much any metric. Trump, however, can't be considered a moderate. He's enabled fascist White nationalist supporters. Biden hasn't done the same.

Also, for the record, BLM and SJWs aren't equivalent extremist left compared to literal Nazis - the left wing extremist equivalent is Communism and the position to kill and eat the rich. That is the level of extremism that Trump has facilitated in office. If Biden also enabled people who explicitly call to overthrow the US government, I'd say you have a fairer point.
You definitely won’t find common ground if you think the Republicans accept or even tolerate Nazis and white supremacists. They have about as much to do with them as the democrats have to do with the KKK (which was started by democrats).
Isn't that what app-stores are for, i.e. to police the apps?
Your order of magnitude is off (log2 = n + * 3)
That is not accurate

Spotify is a choice on your behalf. You can pay their monthly fee and get access to their entire library for as long as you pay them

Or you can buy the mp3s own them forever from apple/amazon/etc. The artists never continue to ask me to pay them.

Personally, I find it better to buy the mp3s. I'll use spotify or pandora and put up with the ads when I want to discover or whatever
I would agree. The explanation I have for it in the US is tribalism. Thats it. I'm an immigrant to the US and feel like I have an outsiders perspective. I find that American's suffer a from a severe case of Proportionality Bias https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportionality_bias when they think about American Politics. They think that because Trump has had a large effect on American Politics, there has to be larger forces at play. "He's some kind of political genius", "He's playing 3D chess", "There is some kind of unexplained magic to his words" etc etc. It's much more basic than that, he found a way to speak to the baser parts of one of the tribes and turn them against the other tribe.He makes his tribe feel good and promises to get the other tribe who are very bad people. It's amazingly and shockingly basic.
Stranger danger happened because women in the suburbs went from being SAHM’s to working professionals. This turned the suburbs from villages (where there were plenty of adults around to keep an eye on everyone) to “bedroom communities” which are largely abandoned during the day.

It’s one thing to let your kids walk to and from school when you know there are lots of other parents around. It’s entirely another thing when you know the place is a ghost town until all the parents get off work and come back home.
I mean it is an interesting article and all, but I miss the scientific evidence? It is a lot of statements that are clearly derived from the author‘s experience, but can they be applied to everyone?
Back in 1980 my Science Fair project was a class-D stereo modulation system.... ah, memories.
>You can't get any clearer messaging on anti/pro science.

Surely you can get clearer messaging than an out-of-context misinterpreted quote.
Just in case anyone is curious as to why someone would use mutt, here are a few:

1. I can edit and compose emails in my favourite editor

2. Near instantaneous launch

3. Can launch multiple instances, allowing for viewing/searching to happen concurrently

4. Rapid search with advanced searching features - i.e. find all emails that have 1 or more attachments sent to me from within a month of 1/1/2019 from someone with a "csu" email - would be l ~f csu ~X > 0 ~d 1/1/2019*1m

5. Deal rapidly with emails - I have 'd' for delete and move to next and 'y' for archive and move to next, I can zip through emails quicker than on any other email client I have used

6. I can work effectively when I'm offline or have patchy internet/signal (i.e. on a train) using mbsync or similar to store emails locally and sync up with my gmail account when I have internet.

7. Highly configurable - custom set-up for what data I want to see in my inbox, and what colours to use and what to highlight

8. Intelligent reply-all - it knows I have several email aliases that belong to me so I don't reply to myself
I have sympathy for this because my particular combination of political preferences does not fit any party. And I am not even in the US where the choice is, let us say, rater one-dimensional.

The problem with it is that one might end up with the people voting for, among other things, more generous unemployment benefits, many nice infrastructure projects, lower taxes, and a balanced budget.

I guess one could attempt to solve this by putting a price tag on what people vote for as in 'we have this nice project but taxes would increase from this to that amount'. Of course, when actually doing it the project would go over budget and what do you do then?
Not sure but I can hazard a guess that people haven't gotten over the new shiny Js framework that gets released every few weeks!

It seems like the right thing to do though. Would be curious to hear what others have to say.
Looking at my stats, Spotify earns my bands somewhere between $0.000022999977 and $0.090333931633 per play.

As an indie artist I'd much prefer they let people just download my music as well, enjoy it and support me in other actually meaningful ways.

The recorded music is just a tiny bit of the service that an artist provides. This whole discussion is just diseased from the pop industry that runs on abusing copyright and drills our heads full of constantly repeated songs.

The idea that this is a healthy artistic environment and has anything to do with actual musicians is ridiculous.
Couldn’t they process the payment on someone else’s rails?
The extra distance for NY/NJ-Bristol cables to cover is "just" ~400-500km (extra ~7%), plus if you look at ocean floor map [1] it seems they prefer not to put the cable in the relatively shallow waters of Newfoundland or Nova Scotia (maybe this decreases possibility of a damage by anchors, or they compensate a bit in length by going deeper, i.e. shorter circumference due to smaller radius).

The other possibility is that the direct path passes underwater mountainous region with quite variable depths in mid-Atlantic [1], so going up-down or follow the valleys anyway would increase the cable length. The right answer is likely a combination of all these to minimize cable cost, maintenance and latency.

All digital surveys skew heavily to a younger demographic and heavily male. You have basically captured the political opinions of the fraction of the potential electorate least likely to vote. How exactly is that worthwhile?
When you think like that, you've already lost.

Like, if you believe that all humans have rights and dignity, then you shouldn't be saying crap like that.

If you don't then how are you different from your enemies?
I don't use GraphQL and I have subscriptions or real time updates as well.
On the backend whenever I do a equivalent of INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE I send a message over a websocket connection out to the connected clients.
The client sends it's context whenever that changes so that the client only receives the necessary updates.
I don't need GraphQL for that and I know what my code does, but with GraphQL I don't. I use Go on the server side and Angular or Flutter on the client side.
You underestimate Indian grandmothers - they are better than the rest of us at using things like WhatsApp to it's fullest.
Too bad no one will take Apple to court after all these shenanigans.

It's quite funny actually, I was planning to join the Apple ecosystem with a new iPhone this year, and then they pull all of these shenanigans.

That's why in practice, you should avoid declarations like that. Break down the components into separate `typedef`s with descriptive names that are easy enough to understand in isolation. Then combine those stepwise following the same rule.
He may know a lot about the topic, but has little experience in actually modeling elections. He also has skin in the game and an incentive to make sure everyone knows that his miss was completely not his fault and was in fact due to failures by someone else, someone over there who you don't know, yes, she lives in Canada...
