It wasn’t the shellacking many forecasters expected. Republicans seem likely to take control of the House of Representative from Democrats, once outstanding votes are counted. But the red wave Republicans hoped for didn’t materialize. If they do take control, Republicans’ majority may only amount to a few votes. Control of the Senate remains undetermined and could come down to a Dec. 5 runoff election between the two Senate candidates in Georgia. Democrats may feel vindicated. In midterm… Source link

Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg.Justin Sullivan/Getty Images (left), David Ramos/Getty Images (right) Meta’s effort to build the metaverse is a way to wrangle back control of consumer data from Apple, experts say. The attempt to gain a competitive advantage over Apple is reminiscent of Google’s effort to build Android. Google’s effort paid off, but it’s likely that Mark Zuckerberg learned the wrong lessons from recent history. Meta wants to wrangle control away from Apple. The company’s multi-billion… Source link

Liberal Democrats known as progressives have never commanded a political majority. Not even close, really. That’s why progressive candidates such as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren bombed in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, while the more centrist (at the time) Joe Biden won the Democratic nomination, then the presidency. The high point for progressives may have been the Green New Deal, which the newly elected Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York spearheaded in 2019… Source link

Google Meet is getting an automatic transcription feature for educators signed up to Google’s Workspace for Education Plus and Teaching and Learning Upgrade plans. The text-based documents should take up less space than a full recording for educators looking to store or share their past lessons and may also make it easier to review, search through, and send lessons to students. Google is also bringing polls and Q&A sessions to teachers who use Meet to livestream their lessons,… Source link

Faisal Masud knows what it takes to make a multibillion-dollar company thrive. The 49-year-old spent more than two decades working his way up the executive ranks at Amazon, Google, eBay and Staples. Now, he’s trying to implement lessons from those successful firms as the CEO of Fabric, a Seattle-based e-commerce start-up that launched in 2016 and is valued at $1.5 billion. (The company stylizes its name as “fabric,” to avoid confusion with online insurance company Fabric Technologies.) Masud… Source link

I’m entering year two of my second startup, this time as CEO, and I’ve been thinking a lot about best practices for starting and building a company. I spent nearly a decade working at Google and more than three years at Alphabet’s X, the moonshot factory. There I cofounded X’s first cybersecurity startup, Chronicle, before venturing out and founding Stairwell. Along the way, I learned some important management lessons and philosophies that continue to help me.  1. Create unique… Source link

If you aren’t taking a lot of notes each day as an investor, you aren’t learning and getting better at the craft of making money in the markets. And to be sure, there were a lot of lessons for investors in 2021.  Financial journalist Sam Ro of TKer tells Yahoo Finance Live he learned quite a bit about markets this year.  One lesson is the incredible resilience of corporate America in the face of surging inflation, labor shortages and COVID-19 pandemic uncertainty.  Nowhere is that view on… Source link

Antonio Brown taught us a few things last week. First, COVID-19 vaccination cards are nowhere near the foolproof passport we’ve treated them to be.  Second, if someone is determined to refuse a mandate to get a shot, obtaining some slick documentation to evade it isn’t that hard.  Third — and this was the detail that undercut Brown and two other players in the NFL’s investigation — eliminating loose strings in your story goes a long way toward “misrepresenting” your vaccination… Source link

The 10th anniversary of the death of legendary Apple (AAPL) CEO Steve Jobs on Tuesday brought a memorial from the company and a note of remembrance from current CEO Tim Cook.  The day also saw the release of a new business memoir entitled, “Play Nice But Win,” from Dell Technologies (DELL) Chairman and CEO Michael Dell, a longtime rival of Jobs in the high-profile and high-stakes battle between the PC and the Mac. But the competition hasn’t stopped Dell from admiring Jobs. In a new interview,… Source link
