Google’s public cloud has been chasing competing services from Amazon and Microsoft for so long, you might think it would be getting winded. But the critical Alphabet division keeps on keeping on, yesterday reporting revenues of more than $5.5 billion for the fourth quarter. That was the good news. The bad news was that Google Cloud accrued operating losses worth $890 million at the same time. It may be hard to understand how a business with a run rate greater than $22 billion is… Source link

A phenomenal fiscal year for Alphabet Inc. is about to close, and there are concerns that the future isn’t as rosy. Google’s parent company should expect “tricky waters to traverse in 2022” after it reports a solid fourth quarter on Tuesday, AB Bernstein analyst Mark Shmulik warned in a Jan. 27 note that shaved his price target of Alphabet GOOGL, +3.37% GOOG, +3.23% shares to $3,250 from $3,350. … Source link

Some Democrats despise him. Some Republicans lionize him. He seems to be pleasing all the wrong people, but this could make Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia exactly the type of purplish crossover politician voters would cheer as a 2024 presidential candidate. Manchin, of course, has gained fame and notoriety for saying he won’t vote for President Biden’s “build back better” legislation. There are only 49 other Democratic senators, so Manchin’s defection is a de facto… Source link

Ahead of last month’s United Nations global climate summit, Google, the world’s biggest provider of ads online, made a big announcement: It would stop placing ads on sites that deny the scientific consensus on climate change. Banned from profiting from its advertising program, Google said, were sites and videos falsely referring to global warming as a hoax or a scam. Also no longer welcome to run Google ads: Content falsely claiming that greenhouse gas emissions, or human activity, do not… Source link

Ethereum (ETH-USD) is defying broad underperformance in cryptocurrencies, with its recent price gains reflecting a surge of interest in smart contract platforms that are being rapidly co-opted by the nonfungible token (NFT) boom.  Amid newfound investor interest, the digital coin’s performance has even eclipsed Bitcoin’s (BTC-USD), which has languished for over a month after setting a new record high near $68,000. Currently trading around $4,400, Ethereum is the second largest… Source link

Solomon Bozeman wasn’t going to wait until they got back home — or even until after the game. The Arkansas-Pine Bluff head coach was so upset on Wednesday night at Hilton Coliseum that he actually made his players run sprints in the middle of the game. While it didn’t work — the Golden Lions fell to No. 19 Iowa State 83-64 in Ames for their eighth loss in nine games on the season — Bozeman’s move was certainly an unusual one for college basketball, to say the least. Bozeman called… Source link

The volatile but never boring market for Bitcoin (BTC) has been whipsawed in recent days, as investors ponder whether there are better returns to be had in other cryptocurrencies, even as a new COVID-19 variant and the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook shake up the landscape. With news of the Omicron strain of COVID-19 unsettling investors, Bitcoin shed over 2% on Tuesday as Fed Chairman Jerome Powell dropped several hints that the central bank is growing more attentive to inflationary risks,… Source link

Corvette pusher GM is feeling a bear raid on Wednesday even as execs at the company continue to supremely hype its push to electric vehicles and the profits they believe will rain down on the automaker as a result.  Shares of GM tanked nearly 6% in Wednesday afternoon trading in the wake of the company’s third quarter earnings report. Experts told Yahoo Finance there is some disappointment on the Street on how GM’s margins and and market share fared in the quarter, as well as cautious… Source link

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are shooting up the charts this week, continuing their break-away pattern from the stock market over the last month. While bitcoin’s (BTC-USD) volatile behavior still baffles plenty of investors, it’s increasingly the safest bet as regulators worldwide signal a tightening over the crypto sector. While the overall crypto market at times moves in lockstep with other risk-on assets, since October the asset class is showing some divergence. The S&P 500 (^GSPC)… Source link

ATLANTA — The game was screaming for someone, anyone to say “enough” — to cut through the emotion of the night and take command of this series. Khris Middleton stepped in and although he was probably hard to hear, his right wrist did the talking for him, the Milwaukee Bucks and the rest of the NBA took notice. Middleton has been with Giannis Antetokounmpo since the days both were battling in practice over playing time eight years ago, and while Antetokounmpo has blossomed into a… Source link
