.ೃ࿐ELECTION DAY

summary — in which austin accidentally lets it slip that hasan’s faceless (yet public) girlfriend is the woman they’re currently watching analyse the maps on CNN. 

pairings — hasan piker x politicalcorrespondent!girlfriend!reader

pronouns — she/her

word count — 1893

note — i personally would have “6’4 jacked boyfriend” as his contact name so that whenever weird men try to hit on me they see that but thats just me (and this reader insert ofc) (also this is nothing special just me rambling tbh — what’s to say this political!reader doesn’t become a mini series)

THE DAY WAS HERE. election day. not only was it the day your boyfriend had spent hours upon hours preparing for for weeks, but you, too. you were a political journalist and correspondent currently working the map for CNN during the weeks in the lead up to the election. 

it was a big day for you. four years ago you were streaming your own map coverage to fifteen thousand people on twitch, accessing your sources across multiple states to provide statements on what was going on nationwide. being asked a couple months ago to run the maps in front of millions was certainly a step up, but it gave you control to speak objectively without bias unlike most of the other news anchors and correspondents that were pushing right-wing sentiment over any other coverage. 

you hadn’t seen hasan in a few weeks now unless you counted facetimes and tuning into his streams. you’d get texts while he was streaming and the occasional kaya video ( because apparently she’d been whining with your leave ). it wasn’t the same, but you were both incredibly career-driven people, so being hours apart by plane wasn’t as daunting as it probably should’ve been.

“you’re gonna be late to stream,” you laughed softly, fiddling with the cap of the bottle of water someone had gotten you. endless tabs were open on your laptop in front of you, following aspects of every state because there was still hours to go before the polls closed, so you were only needed in short segments for now to go over 2020 and 2016 county votes in particular states at a time. 

“you’re right,” hasan’s voice was slightly staticky through the phone. “i might have to focus on kornacki or fox news so that i don’t spend too long staring at you.”

“aw,” you let go of your phone, holding it between your ear and shoulder to screw the cap back on the bottle. one of the directors caught your attention across the room, holding up his hand to say that she had five minutes before they were back on air again. “i’m back on in a few . . . i’ll have your stream open on my laptop, though!”

“good luck today,” hasan said softly as he started his stream, leaving it on his opening scene while his mic was muted. people were already flooding in by the thousands. “i’ll talk to you in, what, twelve hours? i love you.”

“twelve hours,” you hummed in agreement, “i love you more,” you sighed softly, noticing that the twitch tab was reloading to take her to his ‘starting soon’ overlay. “good luck.” you ended the phone call first, quickly putting it back on do not disturb and placing it over on the table that was full of analytical notes. the board that now had the map of the united states of america was lit up again, an empty canvas waiting for you to load up the old votes to load up projected blue and red areas.

TOO MANY HOURS TO count and three hundred thousand viewers into the election, hasan was still going strong. despite the pull to watching CNN more than he probably should, he managed to force himself to switch between fox news to laugh at republican propaganda and msnbc. though, he would one hundred percent lying if he said he didn’t have CNN up on his second monitor. 

things were steadily climbing, and josh ( ettingermentum ) was back after mike from PA left the call. josh, who had been raging on ( no seriously, no one had really heard him be that loud all day ) about how the democrats fucked up was finally broken up when austin joined the call, the atmosphere shifting.

christmas sign in full view and a cold slab of a slice of pizza being shoved into his mouth, austin’s discussion on if he was being sent to prison if the republicans dominated was dwindled until josh left the call to analyse the polls for twitter. 

“ugh, can we watch something else?” austin asked, barely swallowing his mouthful of pizza first. “all i’ve done is watch fox today.”

“yeah,” hasan chucked humourlessly, clicking around mindlessly between tabs as he tried to find msnbc’s coverage. because the tabs were so small thanks to the fifty million twitter tabs he had open, he almost groaned in frustration when he accidentally clicked on the CNN tab.

 the tab where you were conveniently fiddling with the data of state of pennsylvania. it was already a dangerous game having you on screen when the chat knew what the silhouettes of you looked like — photos from behind of you walking with hasan, photos of your eyes after he tried to do your makeup, mirror fit checks with your face covered by the phone . . . chat only needed to be railroaded enough to work it out. 

just as he was about to switch tabs again, austin opened his mouth. “oh, man, i miss her,” there was a shift in his tone, more than just him speaking without thinking. familiarity shone through. from the way he casually uttered your nickname to the sigh, it was probably worse than railroading. it was the train forgetting to slam the brakes on worthy. 

hasan wisely kept his mouth shut as he switched to fox news — anything was better than CNN currently — and his eyes slowly zeroed in on the chat. question marks upon question marks until it eventually morphed into ‘holy shit she looks familiar’ and ‘girlfriend reveal????’ to ‘omg face reveal’ and his breathing faltered. 

someone switched the chat to emote only mode in the few moments he was silent for, austin thankfully following suit. glancing at his second monitor, you were still doing your thing, this time discussing the iowa flip from blue to red, completely oblivious. 

“austin,” hasan finally said, tone flat. there was no use making a big fuss out of denying it — that would just make it more obvious. 

austin chuckled nervously, awkwardly. “uh . . . sorry, hasan. i didn’t think about it . . . awkward.”

“clearly,” he grumbled, digging his fingers into his hair for a moment as he thought. the election was put on hold in his mind for a moment as he switched the screen to the full facecam. he wasn’t going to directly deny or confirm anything, so instead he said, “take what you will from what austin said. in saying that, don’t go harass her, clearly she was faceless for a reason. anyway,” hasan cleared his throat, “moving on, back to the election . . .” and he swiftly moved on like nothing ever happened ( while the mods were timing out anyone who asked about it for an entire week ).

“PENNSYLVANIA AND NEVADA ARE expected to be the closest as of currently,” you gestured to the map that demonstrated the slight wave from the blue shift. “we’re looking at about half a percent, but election night is full of surprises so . . . we’ll continue to keep an eye on that for now.” the directors in the back signalled that the camera was no longer live, and you nodded and took a deep breath. the polls weren’t looking as good as everyone had expected it would look for the democrats.

finally off the air for a much needed break, you wandered back over to your little table off to the side. notes were piling up, but upon noticing the spam of notifications flashing across your phone. weird, you thought, your notifications usually not showing up unless it came from verified accounts across all social media platforms . . . until you noticed that it was coming from your private instagram and twitter account. super weird. 

and then the text from hasan. 

6’4 SUPER JACKED BOYFRIEND: uhhh so austin accidentally told 300k people we’re dating 

6’4 SUPER JACKED BOYFRIEND: call me when ur done? so sorry

oh. on one hand the first part was exciting. three hundred thousand? it was a new viewership record for him. on the other? that means a shit ton of people knew the secret you guys had spent almost two years safeguarding. you’d wanted to keep your face out of everything because you had your own career and didn’t want his to intertwine with it. a healthy work-life balance was keeping that shit separate, but it was only really time until people found out anyway. it wasn’t the best kept secret, anyway. 

still, you weren’t mad. you sent off a quick text saying ‘it’s alr’ with a smiley face emoji and shut your phone off completely, shoving it off to the side and turning your laptop back on. you’d be back in california tomorrow, anyway, it could be dealt with then.

THE AIRPORT WASN’T AS secretive anymore. tired after only getting a couple hours of sleep because you got back to your hotel at some god awful hour this morning, it was an instant relief to see hasan waiting for you, dresses comfortably to not draw too much attention to himself — which was difficult because he was fucking huge.

either way, you had no energy to do anything but collapse into his waiting arms, letting him engulf you until you were suffocating. “this is nice,” you mumbled. “sorry i didn’t call, was so tired.”

“you’re fine,” he promised, pulling you back slightly to look at him. “i missed you,” he slipped his hand into yours, and he took your suitcase with his other hand. it was nice to be able to publicly be in his presence without worrying, so much so that you leant into his arm, tiredness dragging your feet.

“missed you more,” you said honestly, but there was more on your mind than just small talk. “where’s austin? motherfucker’s been blowing up my phone.”

hasan chuckled, “if i hear him apologise one more time i’m gonna commit a hate crime.” he then shook his head, “he wanted to stay at the house but i told him to come ‘round tomorrow . . . want you to myself first.”

you knew what that was code for, so you shook your head with a silent laugh. “let me sleep first, god.”

and sleep you did. the house was silent thankfully so you were content tucked up in hasan’s arms, stealing him from clocking in with his twitch chat for ten hours in a fit of selfishness that you were entitled too.

“austin might’ve saved our relationship,” you teased, trailing your fingers up his arm that was tightly wrapped around you, both on the verge of falling into dreamland. “now we can go out on proper dates again.”

“you can tell him yourself,” hasan’s arms tightened around her a little bit more, so full of warmth that the blanket was starting to render useless. “when he knocks our door down tomorrow morning.”

“aw, come on,” you tapped his arm a little harder, fighting the urge to gnaw on his forearm. “you love him.”

“i love you, he’s just my side piece,” he kissed the side of your neck tenderly, “night, baby.”

“g’night,” you mumbled back with a soft smile, the world drifting away for just that little bit longer until tomorrow rolled around. you could deal with your very public relationship then.

I love your bsd analysis bc they all feel so prim and proper and I don't understand most of them but I'm still having a good time

I'm glad you're having a good time!

Most, if not all, of my bsd analyses are drafted in one sitting when the inspiration strikes and are generally streams of consciousness. But before I post, I do reread them several times and revise them to try and ensure I'm saying what I mean and not being dismissive or unfair to others. So, that might be where the prim and proper vibe comes from haha.

If they're hard to understand, that's because they're both an analytical and creative exercise. I write them in my literary voice, which recklessly mashes together poetry and prose, and I write them based on my collective understanding of the canon and source material, which I don't have the time or bandwidth to distill more than I already do. I also write with the understanding that my interpretations are about exploring themes, parallels, and imagery and not about drawing definitive conclusions, so I often write to be as open-ended as my thought processes.

(The reason I write the way I write instead of for clarity & with definitive, black/white reasoning is because I think the former is fun and I'm easily bored/dissatisfied by the latter. I also just think the latter is not how any well wrought media is meant to be read, so I don't read it that way.)

Anyway, glad you're having a good time, because so am I!

If you live in Russia, there’s no avoiding Yandex. The tech giant—often referred to as “Russia’s Google”—is part of daily life for millions of people. It dominates online search, ride-hailing, and music streaming, while its maps, payment, email, and scores of other services are popular. But as with all tech giants, there’s a downside of Yandex being everywhere: It can gobble up huge amounts of data.

In January, Yandex suffered the unthinkable. It became the latest in a short list of high-profile firms to have its source code leaked. An anonymous user of the hacking site BreachForums publicly shared a downloadable 45-gigabyte cache of Yandex’s code. The trove, which is said to have come from a disgruntled employee, doesn’t include any user data but provides an unparalleled view into the operation of its apps and services. Yandex’s search engine, maps, AI voice assistant, taxi service, email app, and cloud services were all laid bare.

The leak also included code from two of Yandex’s key systems: its web analytics service, which captures details about how people browse, and its powerful behavioral analytics tool, which helps run its ad service that makes millions of dollars. This kind of advertising system underpins much of the modern web’s economy, with Google, Facebook, and thousands of advertisers relying on similar technologies. But the systems are largely black holes.

Now, an in-depth analysis of the source code belonging to these two services, by Kaileigh McCrea, a privacy engineer at cybersecurity firm Confiant, is shedding light on how the systems work. Yandex’s technologies collect huge volumes of data about people, and this can be used to reveal their interests when it is “matched and analyzed” with all of the information the company holds, Confiant’s findings say.

McCrea says the Yandex code shows how the company creates household profiles for people who live together and predicts people's specific interests. From a privacy perspective, she says, what she found is “deeply unsettling.” “There are a lot of creepy layers to this onion,” she says. The findings also reveal that Yandex has one technology in place to share some limited information with Rostelecom, the Russian-government-backed telecoms company.

Yandex’s chief privacy officer, Ivan Cherevko, in detailed written answers to WIRED’s questions, says the “fragments of code” are outdated, are different from the versions currently used, and that some of the source code was “never actually used” in its operations. “Yandex uses user data only to create new services and improve existing ones,” and it “never sells user data or discloses data to third parties without user consent,” he says.

However, the analysis comes as Russia’s tech giant is going through significant changes. Following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Yandex is splitting its parent company, based in the Netherlands, from its Russian operations. Analysts believe the move could see Yandex in Russia become more closely connected to the Kremlin, with data being put at risk.

“They have been trying to maintain this image of a more independent and Western-oriented company that from time to time protested some repressive laws and orders, helping attract foreign investments and business deals,” says Natalia Krapiva, tech-legal counsel at digital rights nonprofit Access Now. “But in practice, Yandex has been losing its independence and caving in to the Russian government demands. The future of the company is uncertain, but it’s likely that the Russia-based part of the company will lose the remaining shreds of independence.”

Data Harvesting

The Yandex leak is huge. The 45 GB of source code covers almost all of Yandex’s major services, offering a glimpse into the work of its thousands of software engineers. The code appears to date from around July 2022, according to timestamps included within the data, and it mostly uses popular programming languages. It is written in English and Russian, but also includes racist slurs. (When it was leaked in January, Yandex said this was “deeply offensive and completely unacceptable,” and it detailed some ways that parts of the code broke its own company policies.)

McCrea manually inspected two parts of the code: Yandex Metrica and Crypta. Metrica is the firm’s equivalent of Google Analytics, software that places code on participating websites and in apps, through AppMetrica, that can track visitors, including down to every mouse movement. Last year, AppMetrica, which is embedded in more than 40,000 apps in 50 countries, caused national security concerns with US lawmakers after the Financial Times reported the scale of data it was sending back to Russia.

This data, McCrea says, is pulled into Crypta. The tool analyzes people’s online behavior to ultimately show them ads for things they’re interested in. More than 300 “factors” are analyzed, according to the company’s website, and machine learning algorithms group people based on their interests. “Every app or service that Yandex has, which is supposed to be over 90, is funneling data into Crypta for these advertising segments in one form or another,” McCrea says.

Some data collected by Yandex is handed over when people use its services, such as sharing their location to show where they are on a map. Other information is gathered automatically. Broadly, the company can gather information about someone’s device, location, search history, home location, work location, music listening and movie viewing history, email data, and more.

The source code shows AppMetrica collecting data on people’s precise location, including their altitude, direction, and the speed they may be traveling. McCrea questions how useful this is for advertising. It also grabs the names of the Wi-Fi networks people are connecting to. This is fed into Crypta, with the Wi-Fi network name being linked to a person’s overall Yandex ID, the researcher says. At times, its systems attempt to link multiple different IDs together.

“The amount of data that Yandex has through the Metrica is so huge, it's just impossible to even imagine it,” says Grigory Bakunov, a former Yandex engineer and deputy CTO who left the company in 2019. “It's enough to build any grouping, or segmentation of the audience.” The segments created by Crypta appear to be highly specific and show how powerful data about our online lives is when it is aggregated. There are advertising segments for people who use Yandex’s Alice smart speaker, “film lovers” can be grouped by their favorite genre, there are laptop users, people who “searched Radisson on maps,” and mobile gamers who show a long-term interest.

McCrea says some categories stand out more than others. She says a “smokers” segment appears to track people who purchase smoking-related items, like e-cigarettes. While “summer residents” may indicate people who have holiday homes and uses location data to determine this. There is also a “travelers” section that can use location data to track whether they have traveled from their normal location to another—it includes international and domestic fields. One part of the code looked to pull data from the Mail app and included fields about “boarding passes” and “hotels.”

Some of this information “doesn’t sound that unusual” for online advertising, McCrea says. But the big question for her is whether creating personalized adverting is a good enough reason to collect “this invasive level of information.” Behavioral advertising has long followed people around the web, with companies hoovering up people’s data in creepy ways. Regulators have failed to get a grip on the issue, while others have suggested it should be banned. “When you think about what else you could do, if you can make that kind of calculation, it's kind of creepy, especially in Russia,” McCrea says. She suggests it is not implausible to create segments for military-aged men who are looking to leave Russia.

Yandex’s Cherevko says that grouping users by interests is an “industry standard practice” and that it isn’t possible for advertisers to identify specific people. Cherevko says the collection of information allows people to be shown specific ads: “gardening products to a segment of users who are interested in summer houses and car equipment to those who visit gas stations.” Crypta analyzes a person’s online behavior, Cherevko says, and “calculates the probability” they belong to a specific group.

“For Crypta, each user is represented as a set of identifiers, and the system cannot associate them with a natural person in the real world,” Cherevko claims. “This kind of set is probabilistic only.” He adds that Crypta doesn’t have access to people’s emails and says the Mail data in the code about boarding passes and hotels was an “experiment.” Crypta “received only de-identified information about the category from Mail,” and the method has not been used since 2019, Cherevko says. He adds that Yandex deletes “user geolocation” collected by AppMetrica after 14 days.

While the leaked source code offers a detailed view of how Yandex’s systems may operate, it is not the full picture. Artur Hachuyan, a data scientist and AI researcher in Russia who started his own firm doing analytics similar to Crypta, says he did not find any pretrained machine learning models when he inspected the code or references to data sources or external databases of Yandex’s partners. It’s also not clear, for instance, which parts of the code were not used.

McCrea’s analysis says Yandex assigns people household IDs. Details in the code, the researcher says, include the number of people in a household, the gender of people, and if they are any elderly people or children. People’s location data is used to group them into households, and they can be included if their IP addresses have “intersected,” Cherevko says. The groupings are used for advertising, he says. “If we assume that there are elderly people in the household, then we can invite advertisers to show them residential complexes with an accessible environment.”

The code also shows how Yandex can combine data from multiple services. McCrea says in one complex process, an adult’s search data may be pulled from the Yandex search tool, AppMetrica, and the company’s taxi app to predict whether they have children in their household. Some of the code categorizes whether children may be over or under 13. (Yandex’s Cherevko says people can order taxis with children’s seats, which is a sign they may be “interested in specific content that might be interesting for someone with a child.”)

One element within the Crypta code indicates just how all of this data can be pulled together. A user interface exists that acts as a profile about someone: It shows marital status, their predicted income, whether they have children, and three interests—which include broad topics such as appliances, food, clothes, and rest. Cherevko says this is an “internal Yandex tool” where employees can see how Crypta’s algorithms classify them, and they can only access their own information. “We have not encountered any incidents related to access abuse,” he says.

Government Influence

Yandex is going through a breakup. In November 2022, the company’s Netherlands-based parent organization, Yandex NV, announced it will separate itself from the Russian business, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Internationally, the company, which will change its name, is planning to develop self-driving technologies and cloud computing, while divesting itself from search, advertising, and other services in Russia. Various Russian businessmen have been linked to the potential sale. (At the end of July, Yandex NV said it plans to propose its restructuring to shareholders later this year.)

While the uncoupling is being worked out, Russia has been trying to consolidate its control of the internet and increasing censorship. A slew of new laws requires more companies and government services in the country to use home-grown tech. For instance, this week, Finland and Norway’s data regulators blocked Yandex’s international taxi app from sending data back to Russia due to a new law, which comes into force in September, that will allow the Federal Security Service (FSB) access to taxi data.

These nationalization efforts coupled with the planned ownership change at Yandex are creating concerns that the Kremlin may soon be able to use data gathered by the company. Stanislav Shakirov, the CTO of Russian digital rights group Roskomsvoboda and founder of tech development organization Privacy Accelerator, says historically Yandex has tried to resist government demands for data and has proved better than other firms. (In June, it was fined 2 million rubles ($24,000) for not handing data to Russian security services.) However, Shakirov says he thinks things are changing. “I am inclined to believe that Yandex will be attempted to be nationalized and, as a consequence, management and policy will change,” Shakirov says. “And as a consequence, user data will be under much greater threat than it is now.”

Bakunov, the former Yandex engineer, who reviewed some of McCrea’s findings at WIRED’s request, says he is scared by the potential for the misuse of data going forward. He says it looks like Russia is a “new generation” of a “failed state,” highlighting how it may use technology. “Yandex here is the big part of these technologies,” he says. “When we built this company, many years ago, nobody thought that.” The company’s head of privacy, Cherevko, says that within the restructuring process, “control of the company will remain in the hands of management.” And its management makes decisions based on its “core principles.”

But the leaked code shows, in one small instance, that Yandex may already share limited information with one Russian government-linked company. Within Crypta are five “matchers” that sync fingerprinting events with telecoms firms—including the state-backed Rostelecom. McCrea says this indicates that the fingerprinting events could be accessible to parts of the Russian state. “The shocking thing is that it exists,” McCrea says. “There's nothing terribly shocking within it.” (Cherevko says the tool is used for improving the quality of advertising, helping it to improve its accuracy, and also identifying scammers attempting to conduct fraud.)

Overall, McCrea says that whatever happens with the company, there are lessons about collecting too much data and what can happen to it over time when circumstances change. “Nothing stays harmless forever,” she says.

What is Solr – Comparing Apache Solr vs. Elasticsearch

In the world of search engines and data retrieval systems, Apache Solr and Elasticsearch are two prominent contenders, each with its strengths and unique capabilities. These open-source, distributed search platforms play a crucial role in empowering organizations to harness the power of big data and deliver relevant search results efficiently. In this blog, we will delve into the fundamentals of Solr and Elasticsearch, highlighting their key features and comparing their functionalities. Whether you're a developer, data analyst, or IT professional, understanding the differences between Solr and Elasticsearch will help you make informed decisions to meet your specific search and data management needs.

Overview of Apache Solr

Apache Solr is a search platform built on top of the Apache Lucene library, known for its robust indexing and full-text search capabilities. It is written in Java and designed to handle large-scale search and data retrieval tasks. Solr follows a RESTful API approach, making it easy to integrate with different programming languages and frameworks. It offers a rich set of features, including faceted search, hit highlighting, spell checking, and geospatial search, making it a versatile solution for various use cases.

Overview of Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch, also based on Apache Lucene, is a distributed search engine that stands out for its real-time data indexing and analytics capabilities. It is known for its scalability and speed, making it an ideal choice for applications that require near-instantaneous search results. Elasticsearch provides a simple RESTful API, enabling developers to perform complex searches effortlessly. Moreover, it offers support for data visualization through its integration with Kibana, making it a popular choice for log analysis, application monitoring, and other data-driven use cases.

Comparing Solr and Elasticsearch

Data Handling and Indexing

Both Solr and Elasticsearch are proficient at handling large volumes of data and offer excellent indexing capabilities. Solr uses XML and JSON formats for data indexing, while Elasticsearch relies on JSON, which is generally considered more human-readable and easier to work with. Elasticsearch's dynamic mapping feature allows it to automatically infer data types during indexing, streamlining the process further.

Querying and Searching

Both platforms support complex search queries, but Elasticsearch is often regarded as more developer-friendly due to its clean and straightforward API. Elasticsearch's support for nested queries and aggregations simplifies the process of retrieving and analyzing data. On the other hand, Solr provides a range of query parsers, allowing developers to choose between traditional and advanced syntax options based on their preference and familiarity.

Scalability and Performance

Elasticsearch is designed with scalability in mind from the ground up, making it relatively easier to scale horizontally by adding more nodes to the cluster. It excels in real-time search and analytics scenarios, making it a top choice for applications with dynamic data streams. Solr, while also scalable, may require more effort for horizontal scaling compared to Elasticsearch.

Community and Ecosystem

Both Solr and Elasticsearch boast active and vibrant open-source communities. Solr has been around longer and, therefore, has a more extensive user base and established ecosystem. Elasticsearch, however, has gained significant momentum over the years, supported by the Elastic Stack, which includes Kibana for data visualization and Beats for data shipping.

Document-Based vs. Schema-Free

Solr follows a document-based approach, where data is organized into fields and requires a predefined schema. While this provides better control over data, it may become restrictive when dealing with dynamic or constantly evolving data structures. Elasticsearch, being schema-free, allows for more flexible data handling, making it more suitable for projects with varying data structures.

Conclusion

In summary, Apache Solr and Elasticsearch are both powerful search platforms, each excelling in specific scenarios. Solr's robustness and established ecosystem make it a reliable choice for traditional search applications, while Elasticsearch's real-time capabilities and seamless integration with the Elastic Stack are perfect for modern data-driven projects. Choosing between the two depends on your specific requirements, data complexity, and preferred development style. Regardless of your decision, both Solr and Elasticsearch can supercharge your search and analytics endeavors, bringing efficiency and relevance to your data retrieval processes.

Whether you opt for Solr, Elasticsearch, or a combination of both, the future of search and data exploration remains bright, with technology continually evolving to meet the needs of next-generation applications.

Why Developers Are Turning To SDKs For Alternative Income Streams

In today’s fast-changing tech landscape, many developers are searching for new ways to earn extra income. Building and selling apps isn’t the only option anymore. More and more developers are discovering that using Software Development Kits (SDKs) can open doors to smarter and easier ways to make money on the side.

One popular method is SDK monetization. This involves integrating third-party SDKs into your app that provide services like analytics, ads, or something unique like proxy sharing. Companies such as Infatica, for example, offer SDKs that let developers earn by sharing unused internet bandwidth in a secure and responsible manner. With this type of solution, developers can make money without adding clutter or ads to the user experience.

So why are SDKs becoming more popular among developers? Think about it—once your app is up and running, it takes time and effort to keep it profitable. By adding an SDK that brings in passive income, devs can keep the lights on while their main focus stays on building great features or launching new projects. It’s a way to make extra money with work you’ve already done.

For developers with apps that have a steady user base but aren’t making much money, SDKs can be a game changer. Just one small addition to the back end could start generating income without affecting how the app looks or works from the user’s side. It’s also relatively easy to get started compared to building and marketing new apps from scratch.

Another point to consider is flexibility. Developers can try different SDKs to see which ones fit best with their app and user base. Some focus on user experience enhancements, while others bring in revenue through other sources. Picking the right one depends on what feels right based on your skills and goals.

At the end of the day, SDKs offer a practical path for developers to earn passive income, especially as the app market gets more crowded and competitive. It’s a way to work smarter, not harder. Whether you’re an indie dev or part of a small team, looking into SDK options could be a smart step toward a more sustainable and flexible income stream.

How Accounting Services Improve Financial Transparency and Decision-Making?

In any successful business, clear financial insight is essential. Accurate, timely, and organized financial information not only builds trust with stakeholders but also guides critical business decisions. This is where professional accounting services play a transformative role. By maintaining clarity in financial records and ensuring compliance with regulations, accounting services directly improve both transparency and decision-making processes.

Enhancing Financial Transparency

Financial transparency refers to the open and honest disclosure of a company’s financial activities. Professional accounting services ensure that all transactions, assets, liabilities, and income streams are recorded accurately and presented clearly in financial statements. This transparency builds confidence among investors, lenders, regulatory bodies, and even employees.

With accounting services in place, businesses can avoid discrepancies and maintain consistency in reporting. Accountants adhere to established financial standards, such as GAAP or IFRS, which promote uniformity and accountability. This reduces the risk of fraud or manipulation and allows stakeholders to rely on the financial data being presented.

Reliable Record-Keeping and Reporting

One of the core responsibilities of accounting services is maintaining detailed financial records. These records are not just for audits or tax filings—they provide a real-time picture of the company’s financial health. Regular bookkeeping, reconciliations and accurate reporting give business owners a solid foundation to evaluate performance, spot irregularities, and ensure that operations are running efficiently.

Proper documentation also facilitates smoother audits and financial reviews. When records are well-kept, external auditors or potential investors can quickly access and verify information, reducing delays and enhancing the credibility of the business.

Supporting Strategic Decision-Making

Accounting services go beyond just number-crunching. They offer actionable insights by analyzing trends, comparing budgets to actual results, and forecasting future outcomes. With this data-driven support, business owners and managers can make informed decisions regarding investments, cost management, resource allocation, and expansion strategies.

For instance, through regular financial reports, a business might identify a decline in profit margins and trace the cause of rising production costs. This insight can prompt changes in sourcing, pricing strategies, or operational workflows to restore profitability.

Improving Cash Flow Management

Accounting professionals also help businesses maintain healthy cash flow. By tracking receivables, payables, and operational expenses, accountants ensure that companies have enough liquidity to meet obligations and seize growth opportunities. They can also create financial models and projections to anticipate future cash needs and avoid shortfalls.

This financial foresight helps decision-makers plan more effectively—whether it’s negotiating better payment terms, securing financing, or investing in new technologies.

Conclusion

Accounting services in Fort Worth, TX are fundamental to building financial transparency and enabling smart, confident decision-making. By ensuring accuracy, consistency, and compliance in financial reporting, they lay the groundwork for trust and accountability. Simultaneously, their analytical expertise empowers businesses to navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and drive sustainable growth. In a competitive and rapidly evolving marketplace, having strong accounting support is not just a back-office function—it’s a strategic advantage.

Mobile Apps That Move Business Forward: Crafting Solutions for the Digital Age

The Mobile Evolution Is Here Over the last decade, mobile phones have transitioned from communication devices to powerful platforms that support daily life. Consumers are using mobile apps for shopping, entertainment, productivity, and much more. For businesses, this shift means one thing—going mobile is not a trend, it’s a fundamental change in how customers interact with products and services.

Why Your Business Needs a Mobile Strategy A responsive website is no longer enough. Users expect dedicated mobile applications that offer speed, convenience, and seamless functionality. Mobile apps give businesses a direct line to customers, enhancing visibility and enabling engagement on a deeper level. Notifications, loyalty programs, in-app purchases, and instant support—all these features help retain users and build long-term loyalty.

Built Around Your Brand, Not the Other Way Around Unlike generic platforms, custom mobile apps are built with a specific purpose and audience in mind. The design, functionality, and user experience are tailored to reflect your brand’s identity and business needs. This not only makes the app more usable but also reinforces your brand message with every interaction, increasing credibility and customer trust.

Unlocking New Revenue Streams Mobile apps are not just tools—they’re opportunities. With smart monetization strategies such as in-app purchases, subscriptions, or premium content, businesses can open new sources of income. Even service-based companies can streamline bookings, orders, and payments within the app, reducing friction and improving conversion rates.

Connecting Teams in Real Time Mobile applications aren’t just for customers—they’re also transforming internal communication. Whether your team is remote, in-field, or spread across different regions, internal apps can connect departments, simplify task management, and enable real-time updates. These tools lead to improved productivity and better coordination, even across complex operations.

Harnessing the Power of Analytics Every tap, swipe, and scroll within a mobile app tells a story. Custom mobile applications can be integrated with analytics tools that provide valuable insights into user behavior. This data helps businesses understand what features are working, what needs improvement, and how to continuously evolve the app experience for better results.

Security You Can Trust With mobile apps handling personal information, transactions, and sensitive business data, security must be a top priority. Custom-built apps can incorporate strong security layers like biometric authentication, encrypted data storage, and secure APIs. These measures not only protect your app but also increase user confidence in your platform.

Scalable Solutions That Grow With You One of the biggest advantages of custom mobile applications is their ability to scale. Whether your user base increases, you expand your service offerings, or need to adapt to new technology trends—your app can evolve without disruption. This scalability ensures that the app remains a strong pillar of your digital strategy as the business matures.

Final Thought In a competitive digital environment, having a custom mobile app isn’t just a smart move—it’s a strategic investment. Businesses that embrace innovation through dedicated mobile experiences are better positioned to connect, grow, and lead in their industry. This is the promise and power of mobile application development in usa, where mobile technology drives real business transformation.

Optimize Your Funnel: Better Marketing Qualified Leads Tactics

In today’s competitive B2B landscape, businesses need more than just a steady stream of leads—they need Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) that are genuinely ready for sales engagement. The quality of leads directly impacts conversion rates, sales velocity, and overall revenue performance. That’s why optimizing for Marketing Qualified Leads is a strategic priority for forward-looking demand generation teams in 2025.

Modern lead qualification is no longer a manual process or based on guesswork. It requires a precise blend of behavioral tracking, data analytics, and intent signals to identify which prospects are worth passing to sales. Below are strategic tips to help you sharpen your MQL framework and drive high-value opportunities through your pipeline.

1. Define Clear Qualification Criteria

One of the most common mistakes in B2B marketing is an unclear or inconsistent definition of Marketing Qualified Leads. In 2025, successful organizations are aligning with sales to build a shared understanding of what qualifies a lead as "MQL."

This includes key demographic factors (such as company size, job role, industry), behavioral indicators (like repeated website visits or content downloads), and engagement thresholds. When both marketing and sales agree on qualification standards, handoffs become smoother and conversion rates increase.

2. Use Intent Data to Prioritize High-Value Prospects

Not all leads express buying intent equally. Leveraging third-party intent data helps marketing teams identify which accounts are actively researching solutions similar to yours. These signals offer insight into what stage of the buying journey the lead is in and whether they should be flagged as Marketing Qualified Leads.

Tools that track keyword intent, competitive page visits, and content consumption can help prioritize outreach and avoid wasting time on low-intent prospects.

3. Implement Behavioral Scoring Models

Modern lead scoring systems go beyond static data points. In 2025, behavioral scoring plays a critical role in determining Marketing Qualified Leads. This includes how often a lead visits your website, which pages they view, whether they open emails or click CTAs, and how recently they interacted.

By assigning weights to different behaviors, you can better predict readiness and move only the most sales-ready leads to the next stage of engagement.

4. Refine Lead Nurturing Workflows

Just because a prospect isn't ready to buy immediately doesn't mean they won't be later. Optimized nurturing campaigns ensure that potential Marketing Qualified Leads stay engaged with valuable, relevant content until they show signs of readiness.

Segmented email campaigns, retargeting ads, and dynamic content personalization all contribute to gradually moving prospects closer to the MQL threshold. In 2025, automation and AI allow these workflows to adjust in real-time based on user behavior.

5. Align Sales and Marketing Around the MQL Handoff

Lead qualification doesn't end when a lead is labeled as an MQL. In fact, the transition from marketing to sales is a critical moment that can either accelerate or stall the buying journey. For 2025, successful organizations have built detailed MQL handoff protocols to ensure sales receives all relevant context about the lead's journey.

That includes campaign origin, downloaded assets, previous interactions, and identified pain points. This alignment helps sales teams engage more effectively and close deals faster.

6. Enrich Leads with Real-Time Data

In 2025, real-time data enrichment is essential for accurate Marketing Qualified Leads. Static data like email addresses and company names isn’t enough. You need to know current job roles, firmographics, technology stacks, funding rounds, and recent buying signals.

Enrichment tools pull this data from various sources to ensure each MQL has a complete profile, enabling personalized outreach and deeper insights for sales teams.

7. Leverage Predictive Analytics for Qualification

Predictive analytics uses historical data and machine learning to forecast which leads are most likely to convert into customers. This allows you to automatically identify Marketing Qualified Leads based on patterns and probabilities rather than guesswork.

By modeling your highest-performing customers and applying that data to new leads, you can enhance your qualification accuracy and improve pipeline efficiency.

8. Segment Leads by Funnel Stage

Not all Marketing Qualified Leads are equal—some are closer to buying than others. That's why segmenting MQLs by their stage in the funnel is a top strategy in 2025. Leads showing pricing page visits or demo requests may be bottom-of-funnel, while those reading educational blogs may be mid-funnel.

By customizing messaging and follow-up actions for each segment, businesses ensure that every MQL receives the right information at the right time, moving them forward in the journey.

9. Audit and Optimize Regularly

Even the most advanced lead qualification models require ongoing refinement. Top-performing teams in 2025 conduct quarterly audits of their Marketing Qualified Leads process to identify breakdowns, gaps, or misaligned scoring.

This includes reviewing closed-won versus closed-lost MQLs, analyzing sales feedback, and testing new qualification criteria. Continuous improvement ensures your MQL model stays relevant and competitive.

10. Prioritize First-Party Data Sources

As third-party cookies continue to phase out, first-party data is becoming the backbone of Marketing Qualified Leads strategies. Website interactions, form fills, webinar signups, and content downloads provide the most accurate and compliant data for lead scoring.

In 2025, companies are investing more in owned data capture strategies, such as gated content and interactive tools, to enhance the quality of MQL identification.

11. Create Dedicated MQL Performance Dashboards

Visibility is key when optimizing for Marketing Qualified Leads. In 2025, real-time dashboards are being used to track MQL performance metrics, including conversion rates, time-to-MQL, sales acceptance rates, and pipeline contribution.

Marketing and sales teams collaborate better when they can visualize performance, diagnose problems quickly, and celebrate what’s working—all in one unified view.

12. Focus on Quality Over Quantity

Gone are the days when marketing success was measured by the number of leads generated. In 2025, it’s about delivering fewer, better Marketing Qualified Leads. This shift has changed how campaigns are built—targeting narrower, high-value audiences with personalized content rather than casting a wide net.

The result is a more focused pipeline, higher conversion rates, and more efficient sales cycles.

13. Train Teams on Evolving MQL Strategies

A high-performing MQL strategy depends on the people behind it. Marketing and sales teams need regular training to understand evolving buyer behavior, new technologies, and updated scoring methods.

Empowering your teams with the latest knowledge ensures they’re aligned and capable of adapting your Marketing Qualified Leads strategy to match market changes.

14. Use Lead Scoring Transparency to Build Trust

Many sales teams are skeptical of lead scoring unless it's transparent. In 2025, businesses are adopting open lead scoring models that clearly communicate how MQLs are generated.

By showing how a lead’s score was built—based on real actions and data—sales reps feel more confident in outreach, and marketing builds credibility with their counterparts.

Drive Results with These 7 Steps for Data for AI Success

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries—from predictive analytics in finance to personalized healthcare and smart manufacturing. But despite the hype and investment, many organizations struggle to realize tangible value from their AI initiatives. Why? Because they overlook the foundational requirement: high-quality, actionable data for AI.

AI is only as powerful as the data that fuels it. Poor data quality, silos, and lack of governance can severely hamper outcomes. To maximize returns and drive innovation, businesses must adopt a structured approach to unlocking the full value of their data for AI.

Here are 7 essential steps to make that happen.

Step 1: Establish a Data Strategy Aligned to AI Goals

The journey to meaningful AI outcomes begins with a clear strategy. Before building models or investing in platforms, define your AI objectives and align them with business goals. Do you want to improve customer experience? Reduce operational costs? Optimize supply chains?

Once goals are defined, identify what data for AI is required—structured, unstructured, real-time, historical—and where it currently resides. A comprehensive data strategy should include:

Use case prioritization

ROI expectations

Data sourcing and ownership

Key performance indicators (KPIs)

This ensures that all AI efforts are purpose-driven and data-backed.

Step 2: Break Down Data Silos Across the Organization

Siloed data is the enemy of AI. In many enterprises, critical data for AI is scattered across departments, legacy systems, and external platforms. These silos limit visibility, reduce model accuracy, and delay project timelines.

A centralized or federated data architecture is essential. This can be achieved through:

Data lakes or data fabric architectures

APIs for seamless system integration

Cloud-based platforms for unified access

Enabling open and secure data sharing across business units is the foundation of AI success.

Step 3: Ensure Data Quality, Consistency, and Completeness

AI thrives on clean, reliable, and well-labeled data. Dirty data—full of duplicates, errors, or missing values—leads to inaccurate predictions and flawed insights. Organizations must invest in robust data quality management practices.

Key aspects of quality data for AI include:

Accuracy: Correctness of data values

Completeness: No missing or empty fields

Consistency: Standardized formats across sources

Timeliness: Up-to-date and relevant

Implement automated tools for profiling, cleansing, and enriching data to maintain integrity at scale.

Step 4: Govern Data with Security and Compliance in Mind

As data for AI becomes more valuable, it also becomes more vulnerable. Privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA impose strict rules on how data is collected, stored, and processed. Governance is not just a legal necessity—it builds trust and ensures ethical AI.

Best practices for governance include:

Data classification and tagging

Role-based access control (RBAC)

Audit trails and lineage tracking

Anonymization or pseudonymization of sensitive data

By embedding governance early in the AI pipeline, organizations can scale responsibly and securely.

Step 5: Build Scalable Infrastructure to Support AI Workloads

Collecting data for AI is only one part of the equation. Organizations must also ensure their infrastructure can handle the scale, speed, and complexity of AI workloads.

This includes:

Scalable storage solutions (cloud-native, hybrid, or on-prem)

High-performance computing resources (GPUs/TPUs)

Data streaming and real-time processing frameworks

AI-ready data pipelines for continuous integration and delivery

Investing in flexible, future-proof infrastructure ensures that data isn’t a bottleneck but a catalyst for AI innovation.

Step 6: Use Metadata and Cataloging to Make Data Discoverable

With growing volumes of data for AI, discoverability becomes a major challenge. Teams often waste time searching for datasets that already exist, or worse, recreate them. Metadata management and data cataloging solve this problem.

A modern data catalog allows users to:

Search and find relevant datasets

Understand data lineage and usage

Collaborate through annotations and documentation

Evaluate data quality and sensitivity

By making data for AI discoverable, reusable, and transparent, businesses accelerate time-to-insight and reduce duplication.

Step 7: Foster a Culture of Data Literacy and Collaboration

Ultimately, unlocking the value of data for AI is not just about tools or technology—it’s about people. Organizations must create a data-driven culture where employees understand the importance of data and actively participate in its lifecycle.

Key steps to build such a culture include:

Training programs for non-technical teams on AI and data fundamentals

Cross-functional collaboration between data scientists, engineers, and business leaders

Incentivizing data sharing and reuse

Encouraging experimentation with small-scale AI pilots

When everyone—from C-suite to frontline workers—values data for AI, adoption increases and innovation flourishes.

Conclusion: A Roadmap to Smarter AI Outcomes

AI isn’t magic. It’s a disciplined, strategic capability that relies on well-governed, high-quality data for AI. By following these seven steps—strategy, integration, quality, governance, infrastructure, discoverability, and culture—organizations can unlock the true potential of their data assets.

In a competitive digital economy, your ability to harness the power of data for AI could determine the future of your business. Don’t leave that future to chance—invest in your data, and AI will follow.
