  Salesforce Cuts 1,000 Jobs as AI Push Reshapes Workforce San Francisco, Feb 2025 – Salesforce has announced another round of layoffs, cutting over 1,000 jobs worldwide , even as the company doubles down on its artificial intelligence (AI) strategy .   The latest cuts follow earlier reductions of 700 roles in January 2024 and 300 in mid-2024. According to the company, the restructuring reflects both a post-pandemic slowdown in enterprise software demand and a strategic pivot to AI-driven growth . AI at the Center of the Shift At the heart of this transition is Agentforce , Salesforce’s flagship AI platform. While jobs in some traditional functions are disappearing, the company is hiring aggressively in AI and sales , with reports suggesting 2,000 new roles focused on AI sales . “AI is now doing between 30–50% of our internal work,” said CEO Marc Benioff , but he emphasized that the technology is meant to augment, not replace, human talent . “Humans must remain at the c...

Real estate is one of the most crucial sectors of the Indian economy, directly linked with housing affordability, infrastructure growth, and social stability. However, the increasing involvement of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in the property market has sparked debates on whether their unrestricted participation is actually detrimental to resident citizens. While foreign remittances and NRI investments contribute to capital inflows, the adverse impact on affordability and accessibility for ordinary Indians cannot be ignored. Artificial Price Inflation One of the biggest challenges is the artificial inflation of property prices . NRIs often earn in stronger currencies like the US Dollar, Pound, or Euro, giving them significantly higher purchasing power compared to local buyers. When NRIs invest heavily in prime urban areas like Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, or Bengaluru, demand spikes disproportionately, pushing up property prices beyond the reach of middle-class Indians. A two-bedroom apa...

  Python does not have explicit access modifiers like public , private , and protected as in some other languages like Java or C++. Instead, it relies on naming conventions to indicate the intended level of access. Here's how it works: 1. Public (default) Any attribute or method is public by default. This means it can be accessed from anywhere in the code.  class MyClass:     def __init__(self):         self.public_var = "I am public" obj = MyClass() print(obj.public_var)  # Accessible from anywhere 2. Protected (indicated by a single underscore _ ) By convention, attributes or methods with a leading underscore are considered protected , meaning they are intended to be used only within the class and its subclasses. This is a convention and not enforced by the language. class MyClass:     def __init__(self):         self._protected_var = "I am protected" obj = MyClass() pr...

Launched in early 2024, the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G sits firmly in the mid-range smartphone category. But does it offer enough to entice buyers in a crowded market? Let's delve into its features and see if the A55 5G lives up to the "Awesome" moniker Samsung has given it.

Raghuram Rajan image courtesy: thehindubusinessline.com "Emergency declared after Raghuram Rajan says no to 2nd term: the sun will not rise for next 15 days" read a heading in Unreal times. That faking news is kind of how paranoid and extreme the reactions have been. Of the 50,000 people who have tweeted about the issue 49988 don't seem to know what they are talking about! I see this as an opportunity for another "Made easy" article! Indian Economics and RBI made easy. I will write another piece on Stock markets. For now let us stick to RBI. Why exactly do we need something like an RBI? For a variety of reasons. Say, you have earned 5 lakh Rs. Being a middle class guy you go and put that in an FD in ICICI Bank. What if the manager is secretly traveling to Kashi and dumping your money in Ganga ? Or worse, what if he is using this money to produce Himesh Reshammiya's next film("Hamaarrrrrraa Surroorrrr" with as many "R"s stuffe...

Its a long post ... have patience to read it completely... I'll divide my answer into points and it might be long. So, lets start with some History. Its the pre-independence era. There was a company formed and named Associate Journals Limited ( AJL ). This was a publishing house which published newspapers in Hindi and Urdu portraying views about the importance of freedom, etc. The  National Herald  was the English newspaper which was published by AJL. Jawaharlal Nehru was the chairperson of AJL at the time it was established. During the Emergency, this paper stopped its publication. It revived itself in 1986 but fully stopped its publication again in 2008 with a debt of about 90 crores. Now, let's come to what the "scam" here is. So, AJL is running in loss. The Indian National Congress( INC ) decides to give it a loan of about  90 crores  to cover its losses and pay it debts. In November of 2010, a new company called The Young Indian Limi...

Annually, approximately 3000 TMC of Godavari river water is wasted into the Bay of Bengal. In a bid to direct that water to arid regions in Rayalaseema, CBN conceived the idea of Pattiseema project. Image courtesy: South Report The Pattiseema lift irrigation project would lift the surplus flooding water from river godavari into the Right Canal of Polavaram which is nearly complete. Under the Bachawat tribunal and inter-state agreement, 80 tmc of water can be diverted from River Godavari to River Krishna.  The water from Pattiseema project will travel 160 kms. and will join River Krishna at Vijayawada in the up waters of Prakasam barrage. Water will then be supplied to the Rayalaseema through Pothireddypadu head regulator for its Irrigational and Domestic needs making it a drought free region.

A  Redditor asks about difference between milk storage in the US & India "  My friend in US says they buy big bottles of milk and use it over weeks. I'm from India and we buy milk in pouches. It gets stale in 2-3 days. How does milk in US stays fresh for weeks? " Then an Engineer who designs Dairy Equipment and has specifically studied milk distribution in India showed up on the thread and he explained the difference between milk storage in the US & India. Here is the Answer:- The vast majority of Indian milk distribution is usually carried out at " ambient temperature " meaning it isn't cooled in any way, and isn't distributed in pouches. Usually, it takes about 4 hours for milk to be transported to your doodhwallas (milk delivery people), who then add water to it, and sell it on to their customers. Average time for milk to go from cow to the customers is 6 hours. By most dairy standards, this milk is already unfit for human consumpti...

It was part of a Saudi-led ground operation in Yemen, involving US-made Abrams M1 tanks and other armored vehicles. A video shows what are said to be Houthi rebels in Yemen using old Soviet-designed Fagot anti-tank guided missiles to destroy American-made, Saudi Arabian-owned and operated Abrams M1 MBT. A direct hit by a Fagot missile just below the M1’s turret led to the detonation of the tank’s ordnance payload stored in the turret’s back. This is the weakest spot of America’s main battle tank, which leaves the crew with virtually no chance of survival. The Fagot antitank missile system entered operational service in 1970. Its missile uses a 2.5 kg High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) warhead which can penetrate up to 600 mm of conventional steel armor and has an effective range of up to 2,500 m through the use of an improved solid propellant sustainer rocket motor and lengthened guidance wire.

The Goods and Service Tax Bill or GST Bill, officially known as The Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Second Amendment) Bill, 2014, proposes a national Value added Tax to be implemented in India from April 2016. "Goods and Services Tax" would be a comprehensive indirect tax on manufacture, sale and consumption of goods and services throughout India, to replace taxes levied by the Central and State governments. GST would be levied and collected at each stage of sale or purchase of goods or services based on the input tax credit method, irrespective of State. Image courtesy: Kashmir Reader India has a dual tax system for taxation of Goods And Services. The tax system is described by Central Taxes and State Taxes, which may be further subdivided into Excise Duty, Service Tax, VAT and Customs Duty. In 2005 VAT was introduced for intra-state transactions, using the input tax credit principle. Until a few years ago, there were only three countries that did not ...

If tensions should spiral out of control, here's what Moscow should be concerned about. When it comes to a potential war between NATO and Russia over the Ukraine or some other hotspot, everyone's attention is focused on the capabilities of U.S. versus Russian weapons. The U.S. is only one member of NATO, and it happens to be one of the members that isn't even on the European continent. Should NATO and Russia come to blows, it is certain that European forces will go into battle alongside--perhaps--American troops. If this scenario happens, here are five NATO weapons Russia should fear: Britain's Challenger 2 tank: Backbone of the UK's tank force, the Challenger 2 would be in the forefront should Britain commit heavy armor to a European conflict against Russia. The Challenger 2 is heavily protected with Dorchester (another name for Chobham armor) and armed with a 120-millimeter cannon. It has an off-road speed of about 25 miles per hour. ...
