One segment I have been absolutely upbeat is IT/Tech. Tech has always been the hidden moat for many companies - AP/BFL to name a few. Tech is no longer a vertical in market. It has become horizontal that cuts across every single vertical.

 Be it Pharma/API, Finance, Insurance, Manufacturing, Retail, CD, or any other segment, Tech is going to give you edge over peers.
The spend on IT/Tech is going to increase stupendously in coming 4/5 years to levels we haven't even imagined. The investment in tech is going to help big get even bigger and put very hard survival barriers to new entrants.
BFL/HDFC Life from Fin/Insurance segment have one of the best tech platforms. IndiaMart relies on customer data monetization, Dmart has a very small but extremely strong team of data scientists
Even Nestle has very strong data scientist pool, Asian Paints story is well knows to everyone now. Not investing in IT/Tech is going to be your biggest mistake in investing journey.
If you think API/Pharma is in structural bull-run, Tech is on the next level. Pick right companies and just sit back!
Platform based companies know how best to monetize customer data. Retail companies like Dmart know how to slice customer segments are draw build demand & advance planning for days/months/years to come.
Nestle knowns which flavor in which segment (city/rural) in which area/locality would sell best. HDFC Life knows which profile, at what age is more prone to buy & continue paying premiums for the lifetime of the policy
To conclude: Do not take IT/Tech lightly. The IT spends going to go up. DeFi, FinTech are only going to intensify the spends.
Time to reach 50mn users is reducing at rapid pace. It took 68yrs for Airlines to have their first 50mn customers, 18 yrs for ATMs, 4 yrs for YouTube, and Pokemon Go took 19 days. Ref: HDFC Life Tech Insights
Only the payments segment is decently penetrated by PhonePe, Gpay, Amazon etc. Marketplace lending, Fintech Enablers, P2P lending, Insurance are still in early phase of tech revolution
The slice & consume approach is going to bring a lot many opportunities for tech startups. Unbundling of services will give rise to many companies, and even increased money flow in Fin/Tech/IT space
This will enrich digital/tech value chain across different segments such as consumer/insurance/pharma/services/retail/Auto etc.
The role of underwriter will go eventually once adoption of tech gets commoditized. The role of DP/Validator must go eventually as well.
The consumer experience will lead the way. People would want seamless experiences across different situations - be it work/leisure/personal. Whoever enables seamless consumer experience will have sticky customer base
The revolution that rocked enterprise software i.e. move from inside to outside (product to customer) also rock many companies including likes of HDFC Life/Dmart/Relaxo and many more. Names are not reco. Just for example
Digital assets will be on rise for all companies eventually as they continue to invest into core systems, enables, and consumption front.
With this, a lot of products will undergo on the fly transformations. Products will be made to suit individual customer and one product fit all time is now gone. Be it custom pricing algos or custom insurance products, cognitive platforms/algos will witness humongous rise
We are staring at scenario where we go from days to hours, and hours to minutes before a product is put together and consumed.
The next phase of growth will come from channels that were not existent earlier, enabled by technologies that were not used earlier. Hence, spend on tech is only way to accelerate growth & lead on.
For e.g. Swiggy integrating into OLA is one example of new channels based growth. Or purchasing a smartphone and bundling an insurance along. Platforms will provide some amazing integration capabilities to whoever is ready to grab such opportunities.
Embedded Finance/Insurance is already present in India & have integrated at platforms level quiet well. See those add insurance while you buy air ticket or a smartphone? That is embedded insurance
Taking example of insurance & how tech can being in growth: Automation in claim settlements can bring in as high as 30% reduction in costs - You don't need underwriter/claim validation officers
Companies will look to avoid risks rather than fighting to mitigate risks. Reason? - Tech will enable insights/analytics to such finer levels that you can actually know how to avoid risk. Earlier, such insights were unknown
Insurance companies are only spending 2% of their innovation efforts on claims automation, while distribution remains highest at 9%. Imagine the growth lined up ahead.
New data will give rise to new insights which will in turn give rise to new products and new business models, companies will transform from traditional insurance to InsureTech, Financials to FinTech
Even companies that haven't digitized their core yet can double their profits in 5 yrs only by digitizing existing business (even if we say now new business growth comes in)
We are at a tipping point in digital revolution where big becomes bigger, and laggards/late adopters will eventually die. So go back to your PF and see where does your company fits in.
As Tom king says - “It doesn’t matter how much business you sell today, it’s whether or not you can identify where [future] profits and losses lie, and what you need to jettison.”
And when we look back at companies now with this context, how on earth businesses such as Dmart/Bajaj/HDFC Life/Relaxo are expensive? Not at all. Change your perspective else you will forever remain at sidelines

@sagarbandodkar2 @soicfinance That's an impossible ask. Some cos don't differentiate between digital & cloud rev. Some do, but then don't segment further. Some categorize as DX or CX rev, while some categorize everything as digital. Even if someone refers AR, it isn't realistic to get the right split.

🕵️‍♂️ How Google's PageRank algorithm works

The PageRank algorithm gives each page a rating of its
importance, which is a recursively defined measure of importance, based on if important pages link to it.
It's recursive because the importance of a page refers back to the importance of other pages that link to it

Here's how it works in practice:
1⃣ We start with some pages and crawl them for links


2⃣ Each page has 1/N points (where N as the total number of pages)


3⃣ Add points to each page for the amount of links to it, divided by the number
of links emanating from the sources of these links

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices

https://t.co/qyl4Bt1i5x


PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

https://t.co/w7oNG5KUkJ


The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.

For people curious about the Roam API and confused by the syntax, or interested in why Conor went with Datomic/Datascript and not a traditional database, this older talk by Roam developer @mark_bastian is a great overview.

He gives great examples using Spiderman of how even modeling something fairly trivial in SQL is much more complex than in Datomic. But the real kicker is when you're trying to interrogate the data to find recursive relationships.


Right now the Roam data model (at least that's exposed to developers) is just about pages, blocks, and children with tags. Already you can see how finding the page containing a block with a certain tag etc is useful.https://t.co/jWJnuKu1RG


But imagine when attribute relationships are fully represented

You should be able to model the entire Spiderman story in Roam.

Aliases:: [[Spidey]]

etc, and do these kind of queries.

⚡️🧠Impact = Environment x Skill

A framework for making big career decisions by @iambangaly (Reforge Partner, Former Instacart, Instagram)

Full post -> https://t.co/dU0l7e0BWR

🧵 Thread...

1/ Career decisions about your next role/opp are the most impactful decisions you might make in your career. As an operator, all of your eggs are in one basket at a time, and we get a limited number of swings at the plate. So getting good at these decisions is important...

2/ At FB, Bangaly managed Rotational PM's. At the end of a rotation, he'd have the same convo: How are you going to choose your next rotation/role?

As a result, Bangaly got a lot of reps guiding this type of decision and created a framework to help with it...

3/ The framework is Impact = Skills x Environment

The goal is not to try and boil this type of decision down to a spreadsheet of inputs that spits out the answer, but rather it helps with 4 things...


4/ It can help with:

- Identify individual variables that are inputs into the decision.
- Evaluate each individual variable in a structured way.
- Understand the relationship between each variable.
- Narrow the decision down to the most important variable

Thiruvairanikulam Mahadeva Temple
Ernakulam Kerala🚩
#temples

Temple is known as Sabarimala of Women

Thiruvairanikulam Mahadeva Temple is situated on the banks of the Periyar River. Siva Temple has a separate sannidhi for Parvathi Devi which will be open only for 12 days a year


The Nadathurappu Mahothsavam happens every year on Malayalam month of Dhanu. On opening day, a grand procession starting from Akavoor Mana carries the ornaments of Devi to the temple. Swayamvara Archana is the main pooja here to clear the obstacle in marriages.
Legend is that 👇


Vigraham existed in another place called Iranikulam. A Namboodiri of Sreemoolanagaram used to visit the Iranikulam temple regularly. Akavoor Chathan, a boatman will take him to the Iranikulam temple and back. Because of Bhakthi of Namboodiri, Shiva traveled with him to his place.


Akavoor Chathan identified Siva chaitanyam and their family built a temple here. Parvati devi herself will cook Nevidyam here for Shiva, which was witnessed by a priest. Devi was angry at this and decided to leave the place. But when the priest offered his sincere apology👇


Devi blessed him and told that she will be present here 12 days in a year. Thus the period which begins from Thiruvathirai Day in Dhanu is known as the Nadathurappu festival.
Temple Nada opens today night.

Here is the detailed information of about strategy,

Entry time : 9.30 - 10
Exit : Upto you

Strategy :
Sell weekly ATM CE & PE at almost equal price
For ex : Sell Nifty 17250 CE at 50 and Nifty 17250 PE at 48 so it will become short straddle

Buy monthly ATM or near ATM CE & PE at matching price (5-10 points diff should be fine) as hedge
For ex : Buy Nifty 17250 CE at 150 and Nifty 17300 PE at 155 so it will become long straddle.

Weekly Short straddle + Monthly Long straddle

Adjustment:

• If you feel slightly bullish/bearish then no adjustment needed
• If Nifty moves 50 up or down and sustain then just simply roll up or down half of qnty and keep rest of the quantity. If market goes up or down further then roll up or down rest.

• If Nifty moves one side or about to breach BEP then add equal amount of lot. This can balance tested side. For ex: If I bought 17300 CE 4 lot as hedge then add 4 lot so you will have only one side risk . Note: Remember to keep SL at cost price (only for additional lot bought)

Capital requirement:
2.2 L for 4 lot
Adjustment requires additional capital upto 1L

Note : High risk high reward strategy, please don’t execute until you fully understand. Kindly do paper trading or backtest.
RR : 1:1
POP : 45-55%

Time for a Thread🧵On yesterday’s “F&O Pe Charcha - Diary Of An Option Seller” with @Mitesh_Engr by @Paytm Money

Why Gain/loss ratio is important that the batting average
• More than the Win Loss ratio check the total Gain /loss ratio
• If your avg loss is 1% and avg gain is +5% then even if you are losing in 7 positions and winning in 3 out of 10 still you will be net profitable

Treat Trading as a business:
• Stick to a single strategy. Eg: A restaurateur usually wouldn’t be changing his recipe on a daily basis
• Mitesh Sir only works on BO or BD strategy, as he is a versatile trader

• Any trader should atleast experience 3 scenarios i.e. bull, bear & consolidation
• Target 4% per month i.e. 48% p.a.
• Option buying requires skill, everyday there wont be huge momentum, so buying options won’t yield good results, but high chances of falling into a bad habit

Stock Selection:
• In F&O segment there are ~150 stocks
• Not everyday all stocks will move
• Only 5-7 stocks move upside or downside
• Focus only these momentum stocks
• Check which one is moving
• Range BO/BD never disappoints. BO/BD from a rectangle (consolidation)

Yoruba History - by NNP
Yoruba History - by NN...
@YorubaHistory
The Ife Primary Education Research Project (1970-1983).

aka

The Ife 6-Year Primary Project.


In 1970, as the Director of the Institute of Education of the then University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife), later Dean Faculty of Education, Prof. Babs Fafunwa & his team embarked on one of the most groundbreaking research projects in education for Yorubaland.


The aim of the project was to test the hypothesis that the best instructional medium for good concept formation at a very tender age is the mother tongue.

This was bolstered by the observation that “of all the continents and peoples of the world, it is only in Africa…

…that formal education is offered in a language that is foreign to the child.”

So, Yoruba was to be used & tested as an exclusive medium of passing information or instructions to a set of pupils.

The project was based on the premise that:

(a). the child will benefit culturally, socially, linguistically & cognitively.

(b). the child’s command of English will be improved if he is taught English as an entirely separate subject by a specialist teacher through the 6 years.
