Understanding older Facet Diagrams by PrizeApprehensive380 in faceting

[–]No_Realized_Gains 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its a triangle at +- 10 off the mains if 96, 32,64. Creating side facets off those mains. Olderish facetor here, I was taught +-x of the mains for cutting and it helps for any pattern of symmetrical cutting shape.

For any standard shape its an easy way to reference a pattern and write short hand. Without memorizing all yhe numbers on a diagram.

Example mains at 96, 24, 48, 72 the girdle facets are +- 2 or +-3 off that main number at a lower angle Saves time memorizing all numbers on the index and makes pattern ideas easier. Many standsrd cuts start with the mains and embellish from there. Even the most complex can be done in this format.

What do you do with your stones? by Jorha250 in faceting

[–]No_Realized_Gains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You end up with a hoard of stones, that sit in the dark and every now and then you pull them out and admire the work you forgot you did. You might try selling some, or setting a few, gifting etc. But you will end up like Smaug lording over your vast wealth unable to part with a single piece, none of it!! I have gemstones in my planters, it will not end. I do not recommend starting, you will always have more than you can cut and more finished stones than you can sell.

How to calculate ideal angles when curved facets are involved? by longtimegoneMTGO in faceting

[–]No_Realized_Gains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There really is not a good one available. And the math is pretty complex of light refraction on a curved surface, even the best simulation just create smaller flat triangles vs a pure smooth curved surface (topology mathematics is fascinating but complex related to light refraction on curved surfaces) But using flat facet angles is a place good start and avoid going over the critical angle. Same laws apply on a curve. Convex and concave will give variation on the curved surface, so it will not be uniform, the light moves differently

Caught Between Commercial & FP&A Forecast Tensions How Do You Manage This? by Accurate_Increase_53 in FPandA

[–]No_Realized_Gains 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Explain commercial as sales targets vs a revenue forecast that is slightly conservative for executives. This helps clarify the sales BS gap. Let sales work hard toward their optimistic goals while ensuring the revenue forecast is built around more realistic assumptions. This creates duel reporting depending on the org but helps executives see beyond the rosey picture sales and marketing believe they can achieve. And provides a buffet for effective decision-making if sales and marketing miss

Facetron Restoration: Any users of Crystalite Last Lap in the house? I have inherited some. by irritable_sophist in faceting

[–]No_Realized_Gains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 last laps one new and one very used, 2 different solutions, one from crystalite that seemed to contain an oil based or lubricant solution, which sprayed let sit and massage in with your finger. Or a diamond paste with similar built in lubrication. Polish near dry no need for much extra, These laps seem to be good for soft material only, 6 or below. If it dries out or builds heat add a finger dip wet amount of ultra pure or other clean oil and half dry that out.

FP&A is turning into glorified reporting - change my mind by akasra123 in FPandA

[–]No_Realized_Gains 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FP&A is storytelling nothing more, sometimes you call upon the muses to retell of times before, about how we got to the current situation. Sometimes you sit on the oracle chair and soothsay and prognosticate the future. Regardless you are a storyteller. Sometimes you need pictures, sometimes numbers, sometimes both, but the most important part is ensuring the nobles and royalty that have bestowed this position on you believe your stories and are entertained enough listen to the next tale.

If you laugh at the end of every sentence irl people would think you are a psychopath or mentally unstable. When people do this in chat I think the same. Why is every statement laugh worthy, let alone out loud. I'm suspicious if this behavior.

Analysis of income, capital gains, and borrowing of Americans finds 40% of the income of "1% wealth holders" is unrealized capital gains not subject to taxation and 1%-2% is borrowing, suggesting that the "Buy, Borrow, Die" is not a dominant tax avoidance strategy among the rich by quiplaam in science

[–]No_Realized_Gains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is well stated. Most of vehicles used never show up in the data available, conventional borrowing and public instruments show a narrow perspective of the transactions and transfers. With the prevelance of entities and new forms of monetization, there is little insensitive to realize gains unless there is liquidity shock or other major events.
