The growing clamor surrounding Spotify (SPOT) took a new turn over the weekend, with at least two more artists vowing to depart the platform over podcaster Joe Rogan — who the streaming giant backed in a statement. On Sunday, Spotify broke its silence after the company refused to give into Neil Young’s ultimatum to drop “The Joe Rogan Experience” — the most popular podcast on Spotify — over controversies surrounding his stance on COVID-19 vaccinations. The legendary rocker’s music will… Source link

New York Giants co-owner John Mara still believes in Daniel Jones. Mara offered a blunt assessment on why Jones deserves another chance to start, saying the Giants have “done everything possible to screw” him up. Mara said the team needs to surround Jones with better help. That will allow the team to make an “intelligent evaluation” of Jones’ play. Jones failed to live up to expectations after being selected with the No. 6 pick in the 2019 NFL draft. He showed some promise his rookie season,… Source link

In 1998, a computer science PhD student called Larry Page submitted a patent for internet search based on an obscure piece of mathematics. The method, known today as PageRank, allowed the most relevant webpages to be found much more rapidly and accurately than ever before. The patent, initially owned by Stanford, was sold in 2005 for shares that are today worth more than $1bn. Page’s company, Google, has a net worth of well over $1tr. It wasn’t Page, or Google’s cofounder Sergey Brin,… Source link

New York Giants co-owner John Mara knew firing Joe Judge was the right decision. Mara spoke about that choice Wednesday, explaining he felt the team hit “rock bottom” toward the end of the season. Mara’s full quote is actually much worse. He thought the team hit rock bottom weeks ago, only for the team to one-up its own failure every single week. That’s an honest — and scathing — assessment of Judge’s final weeks with the team. Judge drew headlines after a blowout loss against the Chicago… Source link

“Relentless” was a word Joe Judge used as an anchor in the first media conference of his New York Giants coaching career. It was the kind of buzzy, coach-speak term that rolls off the tongue well in interviews and can be easily plastered somewhere in the team facility. If Ted Lasso has “Believe,” Joe Judge has “relentless.” Relentless in losing … in making mistakes … in overseeing decline.  They’re relentless reminders that fruit of the Bill Belichick coaching tree is usually long… Source link

The New York Giants lost their fifth straight game by double digits on Sunday, and this was the ugliest of them all. Facing the 5-10 Chicago Bears, a team widely expected to fire their head coach after this season, the Giants weren’t just bad on offense, they were historically putrid. With starting quarterback Daniel Jones shut down for the season, back-up Mike Glennon finished the day 4-of-11 for 24 passing yards, two interceptions and four fumbles (two lost). Of Glennon’s four completed… Source link

Starbucks workers from one of the three cafes in Buffalo, New York scored a victory on Thursday, voting to create the coffee giant’s first ever union over the company’s objections.   An effort fueled by staffing shortages and poor working conditions exacerbated during the pandemic culminated in a victory for organizing. The Regional Labor office counted the eligible votes from the Elmwood Avenue location in Elmwood Village, where 19 eligible workers voted yes compared to 8 who voted against… Source link

The complaint doesn’t detail what happened at the meeting, which the states said occurred on Aug. 6, 2019. But Apple spokesperson Fred Sainz said Friday that no representative from his company attended the meeting. A Microsoft spokesperson declined to comment on the meeting. Facebook did not immediately offer a comment when asked Friday. The documents — filed as part of an antitrust suit by Texas, 14 other states and Puerto Rico — are emerging at a time of rising frustration in… Source link

As the global oil and gas markets are recovering from the steep sell-off last Monday, threats in the market are not just linked to demand-supply concerns. Cybersecurity specialists reported this week that hackers managed to get access to a large amount of data from Saudi oil giant Aramco. The company has confirmed that around 1TB of (confidential) data was stolen from its servers. According to AP sources, the data has been put on offer on the darknet for a price of $50 million. It is at… Source link

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) recently launched the subscription option for full self-driving. Loup Ventures Managing Partner Gene Munster offered his take on what this means for the company. FSD Can Move The Financial Needle: The subscription option can accelerate FSD adoption, given the cost shifts from $10,000 upfront to $200 per month, or $99 for cars that already have advanced Autopilot, Munster said in the note. This, according to the analyst, is an important step along the long-term path… Source link
