cnbc.com Arjun Kharpal 2025-10-26 02:30:42

Alibaba posted a better-than-expected bottom line in the June quarter on Friday, fueled by accelerated sales at its cloud computing unit and a continued revival of its e-commerce business, sending shares higher. Still, the Chinese giant's revenues came in under analyst forecasts. U.S.-listed shares of the Chinese giant had gained nearly 13% on Friday after the company announced results. On Monday, Alibaba's Hong Kong-listed shares surged more than 19% before paring some gains. Here's how Al

Ford and the Birth of the Model T

news.ycombinator.com Brian Potter 2025-10-22 18:52:48

This is an excerpt from my forthcoming book, The Origins of Efficiency, out September 23rd. Ford’s status as a large-volume car producer began with the predecessor to the Model T: the Model N, a four-cylinder, two-seater car initially priced at $500. At the time, the average car in the US cost more than $2,000, and it seemed nearly unimaginable that a car with the capabilities of the Model N could cost so little. In 1906, the year the Model N was introduced, Ford sold 8,500 of them, making the

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-25 20:46:00

A while ago, Apple used to include a software feature with macOS on older iMac models. It was called Target Display Mode, and it allowed you to turn an iMac into an external display once your iMac was too dated to be a usable computer. The company got rid of it with the introduction of the 5K iMac due to technical limitations at the time – though said limitations no longer pose a challenge. As mentioned, Apple previously got rid of the feature due to technical limitations. After the company int
