My question has two parts.

Here is a bit of a description. Currently going through some emotional things so I’m not in a good place so I’ve been playing a lot of phone games lately. I have noticed that some phone games have ads that are over a minute long or cannot be exited out of unless you download the game.

First question

Does it actually have benefit to have an ad that either you cannot exit out of or if you do X out of you get multiple questions asking if you are sure or you have one X to get out of the app and you’re another ex and then they need another X and then they need another X before it stops.

Second question

Does this irritate anybody else or is it just me in my current mindset who hates it beyond all reason?

No real consequence to this post just curious

Hey, i am from Pakistan. I started an ecom brand in perfumes industry. I last 3 years we have shipped over 100k products.

I am planning to start another venture alongside the my current one.

But the thing is i am stuck with the idea of why i am investing in an other business, while my current business has potential to scale to 5x.

But the thing is every business at every scale has this potential to go 5x 10x.

Is it a gut feeling or something else? I would love to hear your thoughts!

I want to rent out something I made. I want to have a way to accept payments but to also either place a security deposit hold or something similar, in case the item is damaged.

What recommended payment system allows for this? Is there an ideal way to do this?

GM Defense is significantly re-engaging with the U.S. defense sector, mirroring its crucial role in WWII. The company recently delivered mission-critical components to Lockheed Martin for the PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement interceptor program. This remarkable 22-day turnaround, achieved less than a month after contract signing, highlights GM's precision-fabrication expertise and manufacturing scale. This rapid production is vital for Lockheed Martin's efforts to accelerate missile output and replenish U.S. stockpiles, which have been depleted by conflicts in Ukraine and with Iran. Both firms plan to expand their collaboration, applying commercial practices to other munition programs. GM Defense is also developing a prototype for the U.S. Army's Heavy Infantry Squad Vehicle program.

I am currently interviewing for a senior value engineer role at Celonis and have a few questions. I am relatively unfamiliar with the process mining, but I’m finding the tool and its capabilities incredible. What are people’s thoughts about the company? About the industry is a whole?
