Radar Empresarial: la previsión de ingresos de CrowdStrike decepcionan

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy analizamos las cuentas de Crowdstrike, la compañía de software que protagonizó los fallos de seguridad que provocaron miles de retrasos en vuelos de todo el mundo. La compañía, después de esto, parece que empieza a ver la luz. Crowdstrike presenta unos ingresos de 1.100 millones de dólares, en línea con lo esperado por los analistas. Además, su beneficio por acción de 0,73 centavos supera en 7 centavos la previsión del mercado. Todo esto hizo que las acciones de la compañía llegaran a subir un 2% aunque las malas noticias llegarían después del cierre. Sus títulos caen en after hours más de un 6% después de una mala previsión de ingresos para lo que queda de año. La empresa cree que estos llegarán a 4.740 millones de dólares, 50 millones menos de lo que dicta el consenso de mercado. A pesar de esto, George Kurtz, CEO de la empresa, destaca el momento de fortaleza que para él vive Crowdstrike. Aunque dicha fortaleza puede verse afectada por los planes del Departamento de Eficiencia Gubernamental de la Administración de Donald Trump. Entre los objetivos de DOGE, se encuentra el recorte masivo de cualquier gasto que se considere superfluo y aquí también se ha visto afectada la ciberseguridad. DOGE ha despedido a más de 130 empleados de la Agencia de Ciberseguridad y Seguridad de Infraestructura. Además, ha eliminado iniciativas críticas como el Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA) y el Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM), esenciales para la detección y mitigación de amenazas cibernéticas en tiempo real. Aún así Kurtz confía en el producto estrella de la compañía: Falcon Flex. Falcon Flex es un modelo de licencia flexible para la plataforma de ciberseguridad CrowdStrike Falcon. Lo más destacado de la herramienta es que permite adaptar los módulos que mejor vienen a la empresa que los contrata y se adapta mejor a las necesidades de seguridad de dicha compañía. Su éxito ha sido todo un éxito, sobre todo entre las empresas más pequeñas debido a la adaptabilidad de la herramienta. En este trimestre las suscripciones han aumentado un 31%. De hecho, George Kurtz ha asegurado que una empresa tecnológica perteneciente a la lista Fortune 100 está suscrita a este servicio. CrowdStrike, como tantas otras empresas, no es ajena al momento de inflación que vive Estados Unidos. De hecho, esto según Reuters, provocará que haya un descenso del gasto en ciberseguridad a pesar de que según la web especialista Tecnet One, los ciberataques han aumentado un 150% comparado con el año pasado. Además, CrowdStrike se enfrenta a la feroz competencia de otras empresas similares como Palo Alto o Fortinet.

Send us a textThe countdown to America's most competitive mountain running showdown has begun. In this episode, host James Lauriello sits down with race director Tom Hooper and co-host Nick Tusa to dissect the upcoming Sunapee Scramble – the USATF Mountain Classic Championships that will determine who represents Team USA at the World Mountain Running Championships.This race promises unparalleled drama as athletes tackle a brutally demanding 9.2-mile course with over 3,200 feet of elevation gain. The uniquely designed two-loop format mimics the world championship course in Spain, featuring both service road climbs and highly technical descents through what locals call "the glades" – described as "really steep, really fast, really mushy." It's a course that demands complete athletes, or as Hooper puts it, "Swiss army knives" of mountain running.The conversation dives deep into the compelling storylines shaping both fields. On the men's side, all eyes are on the brewing rivalry between defending champion Dan Kurtz and rising star Mason Copey, who recently outpaced Kurtz on Mount Sanitas. Meanwhile, the women's race presents a fascinating battle between established elites like Ali Ostrander, Rachel Tomajczyk, and Lauren Gregory against emerging talents such as Sophie Wright and Flannery Davis Love. With only four men's spots and three women's spots available for Worlds (plus Grayson Murphy's automatic qualification), several American stars will inevitably be left heartbroken.What makes this selection race particularly significant is the extraordinary depth of talent – many competitors boast sub-14 minute 5K and sub-30 minute 10K credentials – paired with the technical challenges that will expose any weaknesses in descending ability. The trio offers detailed analysis and bold predictions about who will triumph on this unforgiving New Hampshire terrain.Curious about which rising stars might have their career-defining breakthrough? Which established veterans might miss the world team? Or how the unusually wet, cold conditions might reshape the competitive landscape? Tune in for expert insights into what promises to be the most competitive selection race ever assembled on American soil.Follow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

Episode Notes Because the triune God has graciously revealed himself, he is knowable. But because he is infinite, there is always more to him than finite creatures can comprehend. Dr. Ronni Kurtz explains and explores the profound and often overlooked doctrine of incomprehensibility in his book Light Unapproachable: Divine Incomprehensibility and the Task of Theology. In this episode, he and Dr. Keith Plummer discuss the biblical basis of the doctrine; its historical development; and why its contemplation should elicit worship, foster humility, and produce joy-filled hope.

Dr. Josh Kurtz,Assistant Professor and Program Director for the Pediatric CardiologyFellowship at the University of Louisville, shares his insights on theintegration of generative AI in clinical education. Drawing from both hisclinical experience and educational leadership, Dr. Kurtz discusses the promiseand pitfalls of AI in medicine, emphasizing that while AI tools can enhancediagnostic thinking and reduce cognitive biases, they still lack the nuance andcontextual judgment essential in complex medical cases. He notes that learnersmay increasingly rely on AI over traditional resources like UpToDate, andstresses the importance of educators modeling thoughtful AI use. Dr. Kurtzadvocates for evolving assessment strategies—such as requiring learners todefend their AI-assisted decisions or explain their prompts—to ensure criticalthinking remains central. Ultimately, he encourages clinical educators toengage with AI firsthand to better guide and assess learners in this newtechnological landscape. Do you havecomments or questions about Faculty Feed?

With Passover around the corner our minds are on the many preparations required to join our families around the Seder Table—and yet, who can forget the events of five years ago, when so many of us were isolated, locked-down, sheltering in place during that COVID Pesach of 2020. We're pleased to share this episode of R. Moshe Kurtz's “Shu”t First, Ask Questions Later” podcast, examining the COVID Zoom Seder controversy. Kurtz is joined by R. Yehuda Halpert, who takes us back to the pandemic halakhic literature, identifies important topics that the Jewish world wrestled with during those unprecedented days, and shows how those questions are still resonant for Jewish practice in 2025. Readers of TraditionOnline.org know Moshe Kurtz as the author of our “Unpacking the Iggerot” series, exploring the responsa of R. Moshe Feinstein zt”l. His “Shu”t First, Ask Questions Later” podcast can be found at Spotify and all other platforms—search it out and subscribe now. It's an engaging weekly discussion about response literature and fascinating halakhic curiosities; it has also hosted many of TRADITION's regular authors. Stay tuned! Yehuda Halpert will be returning to TraditionOnline right after Pesach as the guest editor of a series on COVID+5, in which rabbis, educators, mental health professionals, and communal leaders will be sharing with us their takes on how the landscape has changed in the half-decade since the pandemic, what we got right and what we got wrong, and some of the enduring lessons and challenges of that time on the Jewish world. Yehuda Halpert is Rabbi of Congregation Ahavat Shalom in Teaneck, NJ, and is an attorney and tax counsel at Debevoise & Plimpton, LLP. Moshe Kurtz serves as the Assistant Rabbi of Agudath Sholom in Stamford, CT, and is the author of Challenging Assumptions.

Send us a textFrom track star to mountain master, Dan Curts path to the pinnacle of sub-ultra trail running defies conventional wisdom. While many elite athletes flock to western training hubs like Boulder or Flagstaff, Kurtz has embraced the harsh New England winters and technical terrain of his Northeast home. "Four below this morning," he mentions casually, "but that teaches you something that has to translate to real mountain running."After a collegiate career at Iowa State that left him questioning his relationship with running, Kurtz found renewed purpose in mountain races. Now a three-time Team USA representative who has competed at World Championships in Thailand and Innsbruck, he offers rare insights into the challenges and rewards of pursuing excellence on the trails. His candid discussion about breaking his toe in Thailand, rebuilding fitness through skiing, and preparing for the upcoming season reveals the unfiltered reality of professional trail running.The conversation explores fascinating territory beyond racing, from van life and Brooks' emergence as perhaps "the best sub-ultra trail team on the planet" to the neurological aspects of race-day cramping. Kurtz makes a compelling case for the Northeast as an underappreciated training ground, suggesting that the increased presence of high-profile races like the Cirque Series might finally bring deserved attention to the region. With honest reflections on the pressure to make another World Championship team and admiration for innovators like Jack Kenzel and Jim Walmsley, this episode offers a window into the mind of an athlete operating at the cutting edge of mountain running's evolution.Want to hear more from the athletes reshaping trail running?

Activist and author Yves Engler has been jailed by Montreal police for criticizing media figure Dahlia Kurtz and her support for Israeli atrocities in Gaza, after Kurtz said Engler's comments made her feel “afraid for my safety”. After Engler wrote about the charges against him, he reported that he was subsequently charged for “harassing the police” by drawing public attention to his case. It's fascinating how everyone who supports Israel always collapses into playing the victim at the earliest opportunity—even western police forces tasked with persecuting Israel's critics. Israel models this victim-LARPing behavior, and its entire goon squad follows its example. Reading by Tim Foley.

“The horror! The horror!” Joseph Conrad's ‘Heart of Darkness' - the inspiration for Francis Ford Coppola's ‘Apocalypse Now' - is one of the most celebrated literary works of all time, though now increasingly contentious. Based on Conrad's own terrible journey into the Congo in 1890, and the horrors he beheld there while it was under the sway of King Leopold of Belgium's monstrous regime, the novella, published in 1899, delves into man's capacity for evil - the primal beast lurking beneath the surface of all humans - and has long stood as the preeminent cultural representation of European colonialism. It tells the story of Mr Kurtz, a great ivory trader who has disappeared deep into the African interior, and appears to have lost his mind, having penetrated some terrifying, ancient truth. Initially, Conrad's disturbing account was viewed as the ultimate attack on imperialism, though aspects of the novella have also invited accusations of racism and imperialism, in part owed to Conrad's own sympathy for Empire. So what is the truth at the heart of 'Heart of Darkness'? And who was Joseph Conrad himself? What horrors did he behold to have inspired such a poignant account of the nightmares within and without…? Join Dominic and Tom as they discuss Joseph Conrad, ‘Heart of Darkness' and the real life events that inspired it, and the long term reverberations of the novella in culture and literary criticism today.

The league has learned its lesson from hulking First Base sluggers like Alonso, and consequently, it's become more challenging for them to land the big contract.a.Your thoughts on the deal. Are there any changes at all in where you draft him2.Phew. Jack Flaherty managers give a sigh of relief when he re-upped with the Tigers for a two-year deal that is front-loaded with an opt-out. So, assuming he doesn't get hurt, he'll likely opt out. a.Will he be more of the 2024 version on the 2022-23 pitcher? 3.The Angels were at it again, signing Yoan Moncada to a one-year, $5 million contract. a.This is why I'm so critical of the Angels. This is a dumb deal to me. He hasn't been able to stay healthy, and if it weren't for a .406-fueled 2019 season, where he hit 25 home runs and batted.315, I'm not sure anybody would be thinking about him.

I studied the data, and while he stole 34 bases last season, he's not a burner with sprint speeds in the 63rd percentile. A .370 BABIP drove his .307 batting average, and given his poor exit velocity, I don't see that sticking or much power. Am I too low on Robles? I don't get the hype, as he's going as the 49th OF off the board. b.One of our Patreon members reminded me that we don't talk enough about Seattle's poor hit park factors (T-Mobile).
