And for Baidu, it marks a further effort to diversify its business well beyond advertising.\nBaidu’s Nasdaq-traded shares jumped more than 3.5% after hours. They climbed 6.67% on Tuesday.\nBaidu’s chip company would be a subsidiary, with the search giant likely to be the majority shareholder, the person said. Venture capital firms GGV and IDG Capital are involved in early stage discussions to invest in Baidu’s chip firm, the source added. Both firms have extensive investments in China.\nBaidu declined to comment when contacted by CNBC. IDG Capital was not immediately available for comment.Calls to GGV’s offices in Singapore, Shanghai and Beijing went unanswered.\nCurrently, Baidu has an in-house chip unit that has helped to develop its Kunlun semiconductors, designed to process huge amounts of data for artificial intelligence applications. But a standalone chip company is seen helping Baidu to better commercialize its technology, the source said.\nThe semiconductor business would aim to sell chips to customers in several industries including automakers, which are currently facing a global chip shortage.\nA standalone chip maker could also tie into other parts of Baidu’s businesses, such as its driverless car software.\nDiversification flurry\nBaidu’s move is part of push by the company to diversify its broader business — an effort which since September alone has seen the Chinese technology giant raise money for a biotech firm and a standalone electric vehicle company.\nAdvertising accounts for most of Baidu’s revenue currently, but other operations are contributing a growing percentage of sales. Ad-related revenue, which the company refers to in its earnings statements as online marketing services, accounted for around 80% of total revenue in 2018. That proportion fell to 71% in the third quarter of 2020, the most recent published results.\nBaidu’s semiconductor focus comes as the Chinese government tries to boost domestic independence around that critical technology — a trend that has accelerated during China’s trade war with the United States.\nChinese internet giant Tencent, the owner of messaging app WeChat,recently invested in an AI chip start-up.\nIn 2019, e-commerce company Alibaba launched its first chip to power artificial intelligence processes.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":248,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":381935146,"gmtCreate":1612919982585,"gmtModify":1703766922345,"author":{"id":"3564093190306412","authorId":"3564093190306412","name":"KelvinSoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b333224893edcbb4a1b5e5f42233597","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564093190306412","authorIdStr":"3564093190306412"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Alright 👍🏻","listText":"Alright 👍🏻","text":"Alright 👍🏻","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/381935146","repostId":"1176373590","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1176373590","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1612868893,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1176373590?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-09 19:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What new Amazon CEO Andy Jassy needs to do to become a leader in sustainability like Apple","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1176373590","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Andy Jassy, the incoming Amazon CEO, needs to improve labor relations, reduce packaging waste and fu","content":"<p>Andy Jassy, the incoming Amazon CEO, needs to improve labor relations, reduce packaging waste and further its climate goals if it wants to be a world-leading company from an environmental, social and governance perspective.</p>\n<p>Indeed, Amazon’s role model could be Apple,which advocates say has become a sustainability leader among megacap stocks.</p>\n<p>Amazon is starting to make strong operational strides such as investing in electric vehicles for its fleet and running data centers on renewable energy, but remains a laggard in other key ESG pillars such as workplace issues, racial and diversity inclusion and has more work to do on carbon reduction, say ESG advocates. Because of that, only a handle of ESG exchange-traded funds and mutual funds own the company.</p>\n<p>Outgoing CEO Jeff Bezos, the founder of the e-commerce giant, has “actually done the hard stuff, the hardest stuff being operations,” says Andrew Behar, CEO of As You Sow, a nonprofit shareholder advocacy group. “On other issues, though, he’s completely not even thinking about them.”</p>\n<p>Bezos will retain an influential position in the company as executive chairman and one of its largest shareholders. Jassy, the new CEO, is now the head of Amazon Web Services, the company’s cloud-computing business.</p>\n<p>Inhis letter to Amazon’s workforce, Bezos tried to burnish his ESG credentials:</p>\n<p>“As Amazon became large, we decided to use our scale and scope to lead on important social issues. Two high-impact examples: our $15 minimum wage and theClimate Pledge. In both cases, we staked out leadership positions and then asked others to come along with us. In both cases, it’s working. Other large companies are coming our way. I hope you’re proud of that as well.”</p>\n<p>Natasha Lamb, managing partner at Arjuna Capital, a sustainable and impact investment firm focusing on workplace issues for women and people of color, disputes Bezos’ claim of being a leader in these two areas, saying that there was great pressure on the company to increase worker pay and to sign the climate pledge.</p>\n<p>“He is not the poster child of the American dream, but of what is eating America alive, which is growing inequality,” she says.</p>\n<p>Amazonincreasedthe minimum wage to $15 in 2018 after years of criticism that it mistreated and underpaid workers, and the company caughtflakfor what workers said were poor health conditions in the pandemic. It is also fightinga unionization attempt at a warehouse in Alabama.</p>\n<p>Emanuele Colonnelli, an assistant professor of finance at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business who has done ESG research, agrees with Lamb. “A lot of the most promising steps toward ESG seem reactionary, as they have been taken only recently, at a moment in which regulatory and public pressure reached sky-high levels that became impossible to ignore,” he says.</p>\n<p>Although Amazon installed a higher minimum wage,MSCI considers the company a laggard when it comes to corporate behavior and labor management. Overall, MSCI gives Amazon a BBB rating, saying it is average for companies in the retail-consumer discretionary space.</p>\n<p>Lamb says Amazon has become what Walmartwas in the 1990s, criticized for shuttering small businesses. During the coronavirus, “everybody has become so reliant on Amazon, and those patterns are sticky. It has grave implications for small business.”</p>\n<p>Colonnelli says Amazon’s monopoly power can’t be denied and should be at the core of its ESG considerations. “It will be up to Jassy – and Bezos of course- to decide whether they want to be driving the change toward a business model that is less prone to anti-competitive practices, and therefore lead to a more equitable allocation of rents,” he says.</p>\n<p><b>A ‘real opportunity’ to be a leader</b></p>\n<p>Behar says As You Sow has interviewed Amazon employees and says the company has a “real opportunity” to be a leader on human capital management, such as increasing hourly employee wages, improving health care benefits, especially during the pandemic, and paid leave, as well as improving efforts around diversity equity inclusion.</p>\n<p>Lamb says with a new CEO coming on board, she wants greater clarity about defining gender and racial pay equity and to address diversity as a whole, noting that there are very few women and people of color in the company’s upper ranks. She says other shareholders are asking for a racial equity audit and for a worker representative on the board of directors, “which I think would be helpful.”</p>\n<p><b>Climate inroads</b></p>\n<p>When it comes to its climate pledge, Amazon is making some inroads. BloombergNEF said Amazon was the leading corporate buyer of clean energy in 2020, signing 35 separate clean energy power-purchasing agreements, totaling 5.1 gigawatts of power. BNEF says Amazon has now purchased over 7.5GW of clean energy to date, pushing it ahead of Alphabet GOOGL at 6.6GW and Facebook FB at 5.9GW as the world’s largest clean-energy buyer.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f08942b5eaf8d39eb7fe60ce0ba75c91\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"432\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Garvin Jabush, chief investment officer at Green Alpha Advisors, says Amazon’s investments in renewable energy and its $440 million investment in electric-truck start up Rivian are all impressive starts, but the company has a long way to go.</p>\n<p>Green Alpha Advisors doesn’t own Amazon because Jabush says it is still a large contributor to climate risk; he noted the company saw a 15% increase in carbon dioxide emissions in 2019. It also supplies advanced computing data to the oil and gas industry to help fossil-fuel companies locate new deposits.</p>\n<p>Both Jabush and Behar says Amazon faces material risk as it deals with electronic waste and plastic waste. Behar says it is trying to work with the e-commerce giant to reduce waste, noting the company could emulate Best Buy’s take-back program to recycle electronic waste. This could become a sustainable money maker by recouping the copper, gold and silver in used electronic parts, he says.</p>\n<p>Reducing plastic waste is also critical since Amazon is a big user of packaging. Amazon has reduced Styrofoam usage, but “they could commit to zero plastic in two to three years from now and it would make a big difference,” he says.</p>\n<p>Jabush says it’s always a debate at his firm each year about whether to buy Amazon because it is “a phenomenal business,” but he says until it reduces its climate impact, he won’t buy it. But with a new CEO, there’s an opportunity for change, Jabush says, pointing to how Tim Cook changed Apple after taking over from Steve Jobs.</p>\n<p>“Sustainability was low on their priority list, and Tim Cook has made Apple into by far the most sustainable megacap in the world right now,” he says.</p>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Because of that, only a handle of ESG exchange-traded funds and mutual funds own the company.\nOutgoing CEO Jeff Bezos, the founder of the e-commerce giant, has “actually done the hard stuff, the hardest stuff being operations,” says Andrew Behar, CEO of As You Sow, a nonprofit shareholder advocacy group. “On other issues, though, he’s completely not even thinking about them.”\nBezos will retain an influential position in the company as executive chairman and one of its largest shareholders. Jassy, the new CEO, is now the head of Amazon Web Services, the company’s cloud-computing business.\nInhis letter to Amazon’s workforce, Bezos tried to burnish his ESG credentials:\n“As Amazon became large, we decided to use our scale and scope to lead on important social issues. Two high-impact examples: our $15 minimum wage and theClimate Pledge. In both cases, we staked out leadership positions and then asked others to come along with us. In both cases, it’s working. Other large companies are coming our way. I hope you’re proud of that as well.”\nNatasha Lamb, managing partner at Arjuna Capital, a sustainable and impact investment firm focusing on workplace issues for women and people of color, disputes Bezos’ claim of being a leader in these two areas, saying that there was great pressure on the company to increase worker pay and to sign the climate pledge.\n“He is not the poster child of the American dream, but of what is eating America alive, which is growing inequality,” she says.\nAmazonincreasedthe minimum wage to $15 in 2018 after years of criticism that it mistreated and underpaid workers, and the company caughtflakfor what workers said were poor health conditions in the pandemic. It is also fightinga unionization attempt at a warehouse in Alabama.\nEmanuele Colonnelli, an assistant professor of finance at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business who has done ESG research, agrees with Lamb. “A lot of the most promising steps toward ESG seem reactionary, as they have been taken only recently, at a moment in which regulatory and public pressure reached sky-high levels that became impossible to ignore,” he says.\nAlthough Amazon installed a higher minimum wage,MSCI considers the company a laggard when it comes to corporate behavior and labor management. Overall, MSCI gives Amazon a BBB rating, saying it is average for companies in the retail-consumer discretionary space.\nLamb says Amazon has become what Walmartwas in the 1990s, criticized for shuttering small businesses. During the coronavirus, “everybody has become so reliant on Amazon, and those patterns are sticky. It has grave implications for small business.”\nColonnelli says Amazon’s monopoly power can’t be denied and should be at the core of its ESG considerations. “It will be up to Jassy – and Bezos of course- to decide whether they want to be driving the change toward a business model that is less prone to anti-competitive practices, and therefore lead to a more equitable allocation of rents,” he says.\nA ‘real opportunity’ to be a leader\nBehar says As You Sow has interviewed Amazon employees and says the company has a “real opportunity” to be a leader on human capital management, such as increasing hourly employee wages, improving health care benefits, especially during the pandemic, and paid leave, as well as improving efforts around diversity equity inclusion.\nLamb says with a new CEO coming on board, she wants greater clarity about defining gender and racial pay equity and to address diversity as a whole, noting that there are very few women and people of color in the company’s upper ranks. She says other shareholders are asking for a racial equity audit and for a worker representative on the board of directors, “which I think would be helpful.”\nClimate inroads\nWhen it comes to its climate pledge, Amazon is making some inroads. BloombergNEF said Amazon was the leading corporate buyer of clean energy in 2020, signing 35 separate clean energy power-purchasing agreements, totaling 5.1 gigawatts of power. BNEF says Amazon has now purchased over 7.5GW of clean energy to date, pushing it ahead of Alphabet GOOGL at 6.6GW and Facebook FB at 5.9GW as the world’s largest clean-energy buyer.\n\nGarvin Jabush, chief investment officer at Green Alpha Advisors, says Amazon’s investments in renewable energy and its $440 million investment in electric-truck start up Rivian are all impressive starts, but the company has a long way to go.\nGreen Alpha Advisors doesn’t own Amazon because Jabush says it is still a large contributor to climate risk; he noted the company saw a 15% increase in carbon dioxide emissions in 2019. It also supplies advanced computing data to the oil and gas industry to help fossil-fuel companies locate new deposits.\nBoth Jabush and Behar says Amazon faces material risk as it deals with electronic waste and plastic waste. Behar says it is trying to work with the e-commerce giant to reduce waste, noting the company could emulate Best Buy’s take-back program to recycle electronic waste. This could become a sustainable money maker by recouping the copper, gold and silver in used electronic parts, he says.\nReducing plastic waste is also critical since Amazon is a big user of packaging. Amazon has reduced Styrofoam usage, but “they could commit to zero plastic in two to three years from now and it would make a big difference,” he says.\nJabush says it’s always a debate at his firm each year about whether to buy Amazon because it is “a phenomenal business,” but he says until it reduces its climate impact, he won’t buy it. But with a new CEO, there’s an opportunity for change, Jabush says, pointing to how Tim Cook changed Apple after taking over from Steve Jobs.\n“Sustainability was low on their priority list, and Tim Cook has made Apple into by far the most sustainable megacap in the world right now,” he says.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":153,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":383517946,"gmtCreate":1612884157685,"gmtModify":1703766381071,"author":{"id":"3564093190306412","authorId":"3564093190306412","name":"KelvinSoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b333224893edcbb4a1b5e5f42233597","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564093190306412","authorIdStr":"3564093190306412"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Waiting for recovery","listText":"Waiting for recovery","text":"Waiting for recovery","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/383517946","repostId":"2110050003","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2110050003","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1612864080,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2110050003?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-09 17:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Singapore Airlines defers $4 billion of spending on Airbus, Boeing planes","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2110050003","media":"Reuters","summary":"Singapore Airlines Ltd said on Tuesday it would defer over $4 billion of spending on Airbus SE and B","content":"<p>Singapore Airlines Ltd said on Tuesday it would defer over $4 billion of spending on Airbus SE and Boeing Co planes after reaching agreements with the aircraft manufacturers to delay deliveries.</p>\n<p>It will convert 14 of its Boeing 787-10 orders to 11 additional 777-9s to meet its fleet needs beyond the financial year ending in March 2026, the airline said in a statement.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

It quadrupled last year and is up another 60% so far this year amid endorsements from high-profile investors like Paul Tudor Jones and companies like PayPal Holdings Inc.</p><p>Still, though Tesla’s investment of $1.5 billion makes up about 8% of its most recent cash reserves, it’s a drop in the ocean compared to the holdings of America’s blue-chip corporates. The purchase is worth just 0.05% of the $2.79 trillion of cash and cash-equivalents held on the balance sheets of S&P 500 members, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.</p><p><b>Too Risky</b></p><p>For the likes of treasurers, the asset class is just too risky, according to James Angel, an associate professor at Georgetown University. There is no compelling business case for Tesla, or any other corporation, to speculate in Bitcoin, he said in e-mailed comments.</p><p>“Corporate cash managers are generally quite conservative and invest corporate cash balances in safe liquid assets,” Angel said. “Bitcoin is highly volatile and can easily go up or down 10% in a day or 50% in a year -- certainly not a good short-term store of value.”</p><p>And while Tesla announced plans to accept Bitcoin for purchases, hardly anyone uses the cryptocurrency for anything beyond speculation. Data from New York-based blockchain researcher Chainalysis Inc. showed that only 1.3% of economic transactions came from merchants in the first four months of 2019.</p><p><b>Corporate Interest</b></p><p>Others disagree and insist there is growing interest from the corporate world. MicroStrategy’s CEO Michael Saylor last week hosted a seminar on corporate adoption and said beforehand that professionals from more than 1,400 firms were expected to join.</p><p>“Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset is not yet a mainstream business strategy, but firms like MicroStrategy and now Tesla are highly visible advocates,” said Seamus Donoghue, vice president of sales and business development at digital infrastructure provider Metaco. “With such vocal sponsors leading corporate adoption, further adoption will follow much faster than currently expected.”</p><p>Some sectors may warm to Bitcoin more quickly than others, with tech firms and financial companies likely to be more disposed to the idea of digital currencies, according to Fundstrat.</p><p>“I wouldn’t be surprised to have an announcement from some of the tech giants Facebook or Google within the year,” said Amber Ghaddar, founder of fintech firm AllianceBlock. “But I think the road is still long for the more traditional treasurers.”</p>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Tesla getting involved -- the fourth biggest company in the S&P 500 and helmed by the world’s richest man -- brings the discussion to the big leagues.“We see fundamental reasons for corporate crypto treasury exposure and expect others to follow suit,” wrote strategists at Fundstrat GlobalAdvisorsincluding David Grider on Monday, citing increased payment acceptance and the threat of disruption from blockchain. “We don’t think this happens overnight, but we do think there’s much more room for corporate treasury penetration and expect the trend to continue.”Bitcoin hit a fresh record above $47,000 on Tuesday after Tesla signaled its intent to begin accepting the cryptocurrency as a form of payment. It quadrupled last year and is up another 60% so far this year amid endorsements from high-profile investors like Paul Tudor Jones and companies like PayPal Holdings Inc.Still, though Tesla’s investment of $1.5 billion makes up about 8% of its most recent cash reserves, it’s a drop in the ocean compared to the holdings of America’s blue-chip corporates. The purchase is worth just 0.05% of the $2.79 trillion of cash and cash-equivalents held on the balance sheets of S&P 500 members, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.Too RiskyFor the likes of treasurers, the asset class is just too risky, according to James Angel, an associate professor at Georgetown University. There is no compelling business case for Tesla, or any other corporation, to speculate in Bitcoin, he said in e-mailed comments.“Corporate cash managers are generally quite conservative and invest corporate cash balances in safe liquid assets,” Angel said. “Bitcoin is highly volatile and can easily go up or down 10% in a day or 50% in a year -- certainly not a good short-term store of value.”And while Tesla announced plans to accept Bitcoin for purchases, hardly anyone uses the cryptocurrency for anything beyond speculation. Data from New York-based blockchain researcher Chainalysis Inc. showed that only 1.3% of economic transactions came from merchants in the first four months of 2019.Corporate InterestOthers disagree and insist there is growing interest from the corporate world. MicroStrategy’s CEO Michael Saylor last week hosted a seminar on corporate adoption and said beforehand that professionals from more than 1,400 firms were expected to join.“Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset is not yet a mainstream business strategy, but firms like MicroStrategy and now Tesla are highly visible advocates,” said Seamus Donoghue, vice president of sales and business development at digital infrastructure provider Metaco. “With such vocal sponsors leading corporate adoption, further adoption will follow much faster than currently expected.”Some sectors may warm to Bitcoin more quickly than others, with tech firms and financial companies likely to be more disposed to the idea of digital currencies, according to Fundstrat.“I wouldn’t be surprised to have an announcement from some of the tech giants Facebook or Google within the year,” said Amber Ghaddar, founder of fintech firm AllianceBlock. “But I think the road is still long for the more traditional treasurers.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":290,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":383156195,"gmtCreate":1612857451217,"gmtModify":1703765868350,"author":{"id":"3564093190306412","authorId":"3564093190306412","name":"KelvinSoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b333224893edcbb4a1b5e5f42233597","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564093190306412","authorIdStr":"3564093190306412"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/383156195","repostId":"1167253607","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1167253607","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1612850345,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1167253607?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-09 13:59","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Singapore prime minister’s wife Ho Ching to step down as CEO of $230 billion state investor","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1167253607","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nSingapore’s state investment company Temasek Holdings said Chief Executive Officer Ho Ch","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nSingapore’s state investment company Temasek Holdings said Chief Executive Officer Ho Ching will retire and step down from the board on Oct. 1.\nHo, the wife of Singapore’s Prime Minister ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/09/ho-ching-to-retire-as-ceo-of-singapores-temasek-holdings-on-oct-1.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

It has led to eight delistings…and a [Justice Department] case against tariff evasion,” he said.</p>\n<p>Ultimately, he said Muddy Waters would continue its work and that the market would determine whether it becomes uneconomical.</p>\n<p>Beyond investing, Carson launchedZer0es.TVlast year, with the intent of providing in-depth discussions about short selling and investing. In a recent video, he said that angst emanating from Redditors may also reflect pent-up frustration with COVID confinement and a desire to disrupt establishment structures as the gap between the wealthy and the impoverished widens.</p>\n<p>He said that the new landscape of social-media-driven trading may result in pros being more nimble.</p>\n<p>“We may just have to be more creative and smart in how we structure trades and manage risk,” he added, suggesting that pro investors may need to structure more complex trades to avoid being blown out of some positions.</p>\n<p>Block said he’s not betting that the markets will break down soon, but warned that we are at a point in the cycle where anything can go wrong.</p>\n<p>“We’re not in a tightening cycle, but there are a lot of things that can go wrong and can have a knock-on effect to the market, and a market that is very much tied to flows,” Block said.</p>\n<p>“I’m not taking the view that it’s about to end soon,” he said.</p>\n<p>On Monday, the market regained some of the ground lost in Friday’s drubbing, with the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,+0.76%,the S&P 500 indexSPX,+1.61%and the Nasdaq Composite IndexCOMP,+2.55%finishing solidly higher.</p>\n<p>Block rose to fame in 2011 after he revealed fraudulent practices at Chinese forestry company Sino-Forest Corp., which ended up filing for bankruptcy the following year.</p>\n<p>Block, on hisZer0es.TVwebcast, said he has little doubt about where this ends for individual investors, and described popular trading platform Robinhood as selling their clients to market makers, who in turn pay them for customer information, known as payment for order flow.</p>\n<p>“When you look at Robinhood, it’s the ultimate manifestation of the Silicon Valley model, right? You know, we are the products that are sold when you’re using Twitter, Gmail, etc.,” he said.</p>\n<p>“I have no doubt where this ends, right … for retail — I mean, in tears.”</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

It has led to eight delistings…and a [Justice Department] case against tariff evasion,” he said.\nUltimately, he said Muddy Waters would continue its work and that the market would determine whether it becomes uneconomical.\nBeyond investing, Carson launchedZer0es.TVlast year, with the intent of providing in-depth discussions about short selling and investing. In a recent video, he said that angst emanating from Redditors may also reflect pent-up frustration with COVID confinement and a desire to disrupt establishment structures as the gap between the wealthy and the impoverished widens.\nHe said that the new landscape of social-media-driven trading may result in pros being more nimble.\n“We may just have to be more creative and smart in how we structure trades and manage risk,” he added, suggesting that pro investors may need to structure more complex trades to avoid being blown out of some positions.\nBlock said he’s not betting that the markets will break down soon, but warned that we are at a point in the cycle where anything can go wrong.\n“We’re not in a tightening cycle, but there are a lot of things that can go wrong and can have a knock-on effect to the market, and a market that is very much tied to flows,” Block said.\n“I’m not taking the view that it’s about to end soon,” he said.\nOn Monday, the market regained some of the ground lost in Friday’s drubbing, with the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,+0.76%,the S&P 500 indexSPX,+1.61%and the Nasdaq Composite IndexCOMP,+2.55%finishing solidly higher.\nBlock rose to fame in 2011 after he revealed fraudulent practices at Chinese forestry company Sino-Forest Corp., which ended up filing for bankruptcy the following year.\nBlock, on hisZer0es.TVwebcast, said he has little doubt about where this ends for individual investors, and described popular trading platform Robinhood as selling their clients to market makers, who in turn pay them for customer information, known as payment for order flow.\n“When you look at Robinhood, it’s the ultimate manifestation of the Silicon Valley model, right? You know, we are the products that are sold when you’re using Twitter, Gmail, etc.,” he said.\n“I have no doubt where this ends, right … for retail — I mean, in tears.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":570,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":315871419,"gmtCreate":1612236749431,"gmtModify":1703759136313,"author":{"id":"3564093190306412","authorId":"3564093190306412","name":"KelvinSoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b333224893edcbb4a1b5e5f42233597","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564093190306412","authorIdStr":"3564093190306412"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Lets go","listText":"Lets go","text":"Lets go","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/315871419","repostId":"2108200001","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":141,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":315871943,"gmtCreate":1612236623882,"gmtModify":1703759135106,"author":{"id":"3564093190306412","authorId":"3564093190306412","name":"KelvinSoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b333224893edcbb4a1b5e5f42233597","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564093190306412","authorIdStr":"3564093190306412"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/315871943","repostId":"1155510692","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155510692","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1612233643,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1155510692?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-02 10:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon, Alphabet and Salesforce are all investing in a $28 billion company that crunches big data","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155510692","media":"cnbc","summary":"Databricks, a start-up whose software helps companies quickly process large sets of data and get it ","content":"<div>\n<p>Databricks, a start-up whose software helps companies quickly process large sets of data and get it ready for analysis, said Monday it has raised $1 billion in fresh cash, including from a few ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/01/amazon-alphabet-salesforce-back-databricks-at-28-billion-valuation.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

That same principle applies to Snowflake, which Salesforce had also invested in and has demonstratedstrong revenue growthfollowing its initial public offering last year.\nAmazon, the largest cloud provider, did not put money into Snowflake before it went public.

VC、名人圈层的新兴社交产品一直热度不减。它叫 Clubhouse,誉为“音频 Twitter”,还没正式上架,内测用户才五千,估值已达 1 亿美元。</p>\n<p>简言之这是个实时语音聊天室。打开 App,你可以查看房间里都有谁,在聊什么,决定是否继续听或直接加入群聊。</p>\n<p>它之所以持续引发热议,原因包括但不限于:</p>\n<p>1)<b>风评两极分化严重。</b>用过的人里,极度看好的表示,这是他们自 Instagram 之后首次看到让人如此兴奋的社交产品,体验新奇,且充满可能性;极度看衰的人则认为,这完全就是硅谷精英的自嗨。</p>\n<p>而这些评价完全不影响它在 Twitter 上继续疯狂刷屏。用上的人自然要点评一番,好让大家知道自己用过;还没用上的众多蝗虫用户,又都在求内测资格,以便成为前一种人。场面堪称火爆。</p>\n<p>2)<b>极度奉行快速迭代策略。</b>核心团队只有两个人,每天都会发布新版本、加入新功能。</p>\n<p>这俩都是连续创业者,一个曾在 Google 工作,在 Benchmark 担任驻地企业家一年多,出来创业做了个产品名为 Highlight,被 A16Z 投资并于 2016 年被 Pinterest 收购。</p>\n<p>3)<b>母公司投资阵容豪华。</b>Clubhouse 母公司 Alpha Exploration 在今年 2 月完成种子轮融资。投资者包括 Houseparty 联合创始人,知名天使投资人 Todd Goldberg,Superhuman 联合创始人,AngelList 联合创始人等。</p>\n<p>4)<b>Clubhouse 最新一轮融资引发美国两大重量级 VC 争相竞购。</b>Benchmark 报价 8000 万美元,A16Z 开出更好的价格并成功投了 A 轮——以 1 亿美元估值投资 1000 万。</p>\n<p>5)<b>用户行为和特征均十分特殊。</b>据说它的一些早期用户平均每天使用时长 8 到 12 个小时。而相较正常社交产品 1 个用户大概值 100 美元的价格,Clubhouse 单用户价值 20000 美元,足足是前者的 200 倍。</p>\n<p>这么神奇,它凭什么?</p>\n<p>这篇本文试图回答:<b>Clubhouse 究竟满足了什么需求?与替代品相比如何?未来的商业模式可能是什么?竞争优势又是什么?</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7426f00394a48d4726fd7b0331f920c1\" tg-width=\"482\" tg-height=\"970\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Clubhouse 之所以迅速引发讨论,其实是占了播客和社交这两个时下很火热、且所有人都难以抗拒的话题的便宜。</p>\n<p><b>播客的妙处在于,它可以是一种有效拉近用户和“名人”距离的社交方式</b>(尽管这种“社交”并不对等)。大多数人第一次选择去听其他人在聊什么,这里的“其他人”很大概率不会是他们之前不熟悉、没听过的人。而借由播客来了解你所关注的人的思考方式和说话方式,带来的直接结果就是,你听的越多,越喜欢他们。</p>\n<p><b>播客还可以是一种学习方式。</b>不要认为大多数人对“学习”不感兴趣:生活方式、游戏、体育这些都可以被学习。很多人花了大量时间在视频(快手、抖音、B站、TikTok、Twitch、YouTube)、图文(微博、Twitter、小红书)上,起因可能也只是因为他们想学习。</p>\n<p>只不过,他们并不是学习如何工作,而是学习如何生活。很多实践和社会性技能是学校不可能教的,但又必定贯穿正常人的一生。</p>\n<p>当然,播客并不是社交+学习的唯一途径,图文和视频也可以。但是 Clubhouse 又把社交元素加入进来,这种不需要脚本的实时对话,使得它相较其他社交产品又具有独特的优势。</p>\n<p>首先,声音的产生和消费不需要眼睛的参与,这使得音频比文字和视频的适用场景更广泛、适应性更强。</p>\n<p>音频的另一个好处是,当你进入一小撮人的实时交流时,它能产生一定的流动性。</p>\n<p>你如何在 Clubhouse 上认识人?进入一个关注者的房间,举手说话或单纯聆听。这个简单的机制解决了播客作为社交方式最大的问题之一:破冰。</p>\n<p>当然,此前并非没有产品尝试过把播客扩展为一种社交方式,但它们基本都没成功。</p>\n<p>Clubhouse 目前的氛围和用户群都表明它有望进一步实现这个梦想。而在此之前,我们可以看看过去的类似产品都是如何失败的。</p>\n<p>美国此前陆续出现一系列音频社交 App,<b>我们以 Anchor,Bumpers,TTYL,Talk Show 为例来具体分析。</b></p>\n<p>首先,Anchor 和 Bumpers都是 2015 年左右在纽约成立的,二者思路相似:带你认识“音频发烧友”。</p>\n<p>登录之后,你可以听到自己所关注的人的简短录音提要,然后决定是否评论、回复,或是发布自己的音频内容。不少人在这两个平台上都收获了相当多的粉丝。</p>\n<p>但最终,Anchor 成为播客工具,并于 2018 年被 Spotify 收购;Bumpers 成为视频工具,最终被 Coinbase 收购。</p>\n<p>什么地方出了错?录音提要。用户自发上传的简短音频不足以像真正的播客那样吸引人,同时又不足以像 Twitter、Instagram、Facebook 的 feed 流那样给人持续高频的刺激。</p>\n<p>如今所有亿级用户产品(微信朋友圈、抖音、快手、微博、小红书、Twitter、Instagram、Facebook、TikTok 等),都可以让你很快地发现一条有趣的推文/视频,因为浏览和消费内容的速度快、效率高。</p>\n<p>但是音频不行,即使每一分钟中有 3 个片段很有料,你依然很难快速找到。</p>\n<p>这就是我之前所说的播客固有的缺陷之一:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73239228942b39a5710a24a9b1d663e6\" tg-width=\"828\" tg-height=\"1164\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>或者这样理解,<b>同样是异步“对话”(图文、音频、视频),只要人们还足够喜欢、习惯 Feed 流的体验,那么他们就永远难以喜欢、习惯、尝试去探索一段“对话”。</b></p>\n<p>TTYL(Talk With Friends)跳出了播客固有的玩法,它允许朋友之间通过音频对话。但没有全局视图可供加入,也没有演讲者/听众的区别。这就带来了严重的社交流动性挑战。为了真正把这个产品用起来,你必须认识 50 个人才有可能。</p>\n<p>为什么?当你打开它时,它会向你的朋友发送通知,他们中的某些人可以选择加入。但问题是,比例会有多少?通常不超过 5%。如果你有 50 个朋友,会有 2 或 3 个加入,这远远不够。</p>\n<p>另外,由于他们都是你现有的朋友,所以你始终可以通过其他产品和他们交流,留在 TTYL 就变得没有必要,而这显然会限制产品的自发增长和进一步使用。</p>\n<p>Talk Show 曾经尝试把播客“实时化”。你可以通过它向朋友发送邀请,一起录制一段音频节目,他们可以通过 App 或电话加入。一旦你开始录制,就可以在 Twitter 或其他社交平台同步一个链接,这样其他人也能看到、可以同步收听。</p>\n<p>这个想法最初是为了减少录制音频的摩擦,因为对于创作者而言,生产一段高质量播客的成本是不低的。但它后来也没成功,虽然在创作者一侧有所改进,但对于听众来说,体验几乎没差别。</p>\n<p>Clubhouse 的诞生可能算是集合了以上所有产品的优点:</p>\n<p>1)你无需事先安排一场对话,这就要比录播客轻松很多。</p>\n<p>2)它保留了 TTYL 的交互式体验。</p>\n<p>3)由于对话是公开的,社交流动性得以解决。任何人都可以加入,主动发言或是单纯聆听,你完全可以在不想讲话时正常使用。</p>\n<p>4)它解决了困扰 Anchor 和 Bumpers 的“提要”问题,因为听有趣的人实时进行 40 分钟的交谈是一种更特殊的体验,它和 feed 流并不在同一维度竞争。</p>\n<p>倒数第二个问题,Clubhouse 存在什么缺陷?</p>\n<p>Clubhouse 的主要功能是提高对话的流动性、帮助人们更好地用音频沟通。这意味着,理想情况下,你可以随时加入,并进入一个你认为的最酷的人的房间,他们在谈论你真正感兴趣的内容。而当你加入时,他们会注意到你、甚至可能邀请你发言,然后大家聊得很愉快,听众也收获颇丰。</p>\n<p>但是,这种高质量的聊天永远是稀缺的,如何让它们更多、更快产生?</p>\n<p>不如这样思考,什么情况下这种高质量的聊天极难获得?如果消除了障碍,就可以达成目的。</p>\n<p>一个比较明显的障碍是,你如何判断哪个房间“最好”。如果同时看到二十个可供加入,你怎么知道加入哪个最不容易后悔?</p>\n<p>最直接的解决办法是:可以在每个房间的人物界面处添加更多的个人说明。</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/378950b15c6ab0d2424c3ec64f1b7ff4\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"740\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">此外,这种实时音频社交还可能需要一些功能:比如在冷场时抛出某个可供讨论的话题,内置一些可以共同参与的社交游戏,内嵌 1v1 私聊的功能(就像小组讨论时你和别人私下耳语),甚至是允许用户在想要发言时输入一些简短的文字,以便大家知道他们想说什么。</p>\n<p>最后一个问题,Clubhouse 未来如何赚钱。</p>\n<p>2C 社交产品一般都很晚才考虑商业化。而且过去的默认假设是,先做到一定规模,然后在信息流投广告。但在国外 Facebook、Google

VC、名人圈层的新兴社交产品一直热度不减。它叫 Clubhouse,誉为“音频 Twitter”,还没正式上架,内测用户才五千,估值已达 1 亿美元。\n简言之这是个实时语音聊天室。打开 App,你可以查看房间里都有谁,在聊什么,决定是否继续听或直接加入群聊。\n它之所以持续引发热议,原因包括但不限于:\n1)风评两极分化严重。用过的人里,极度看好的表示,这是他们自 Instagram 之后首次看到让人如此兴奋的社交产品,体验新奇,且充满可能性;极度看衰的人则认为,这完全就是硅谷精英的自嗨。\n而这些评价完全不影响它在 Twitter 上继续疯狂刷屏。用上的人自然要点评一番,好让大家知道自己用过;还没用上的众多蝗虫用户,又都在求内测资格,以便成为前一种人。场面堪称火爆。\n2)极度奉行快速迭代策略。核心团队只有两个人,每天都会发布新版本、加入新功能。\n这俩都是连续创业者,一个曾在 Google 工作,在 Benchmark 担任驻地企业家一年多,出来创业做了个产品名为 Highlight,被 A16Z 投资并于 2016 年被 Pinterest 收购。\n3)母公司投资阵容豪华。Clubhouse 母公司 Alpha Exploration 在今年 2 月完成种子轮融资。投资者包括 Houseparty 联合创始人,知名天使投资人 Todd Goldberg,Superhuman 联合创始人,AngelList 联合创始人等。\n4)Clubhouse 最新一轮融资引发美国两大重量级 VC 争相竞购。Benchmark 报价 8000 万美元,A16Z 开出更好的价格并成功投了 A 轮——以 1 亿美元估值投资 1000 万。\n5)用户行为和特征均十分特殊。据说它的一些早期用户平均每天使用时长 8 到 12 个小时。而相较正常社交产品 1 个用户大概值 100 美元的价格,Clubhouse 单用户价值 20000 美元,足足是前者的 200 倍。\n这么神奇,它凭什么?\n这篇本文试图回答:Clubhouse 究竟满足了什么需求?与替代品相比如何?未来的商业模式可能是什么?竞争优势又是什么?\n\nClubhouse 之所以迅速引发讨论,其实是占了播客和社交这两个时下很火热、且所有人都难以抗拒的话题的便宜。\n播客的妙处在于,它可以是一种有效拉近用户和“名人”距离的社交方式(尽管这种“社交”并不对等)。大多数人第一次选择去听其他人在聊什么,这里的“其他人”很大概率不会是他们之前不熟悉、没听过的人。而借由播客来了解你所关注的人的思考方式和说话方式,带来的直接结果就是,你听的越多,越喜欢他们。\n播客还可以是一种学习方式。不要认为大多数人对“学习”不感兴趣:生活方式、游戏、体育这些都可以被学习。很多人花了大量时间在视频(快手、抖音、B站、TikTok、Twitch、YouTube)、图文(微博、Twitter、小红书)上,起因可能也只是因为他们想学习。\n只不过,他们并不是学习如何工作,而是学习如何生活。很多实践和社会性技能是学校不可能教的,但又必定贯穿正常人的一生。\n当然,播客并不是社交+学习的唯一途径,图文和视频也可以。但是 Clubhouse 又把社交元素加入进来,这种不需要脚本的实时对话,使得它相较其他社交产品又具有独特的优势。\n首先,声音的产生和消费不需要眼睛的参与,这使得音频比文字和视频的适用场景更广泛、适应性更强。\n音频的另一个好处是,当你进入一小撮人的实时交流时,它能产生一定的流动性。\n你如何在 Clubhouse 上认识人?进入一个关注者的房间,举手说话或单纯聆听。这个简单的机制解决了播客作为社交方式最大的问题之一:破冰。\n当然,此前并非没有产品尝试过把播客扩展为一种社交方式,但它们基本都没成功。\nClubhouse 目前的氛围和用户群都表明它有望进一步实现这个梦想。而在此之前,我们可以看看过去的类似产品都是如何失败的。\n美国此前陆续出现一系列音频社交 App,我们以 Anchor,Bumpers,TTYL,Talk Show 为例来具体分析。\n首先,Anchor 和 Bumpers都是 2015 年左右在纽约成立的,二者思路相似:带你认识“音频发烧友”。\n登录之后,你可以听到自己所关注的人的简短录音提要,然后决定是否评论、回复,或是发布自己的音频内容。不少人在这两个平台上都收获了相当多的粉丝。\n但最终,Anchor 成为播客工具,并于 2018 年被 Spotify 收购;Bumpers 成为视频工具,最终被 Coinbase 收购。\n什么地方出了错?录音提要。用户自发上传的简短音频不足以像真正的播客那样吸引人,同时又不足以像 Twitter、Instagram、Facebook 的 feed 流那样给人持续高频的刺激。\n如今所有亿级用户产品(微信朋友圈、抖音、快手、微博、小红书、Twitter、Instagram、Facebook、TikTok 等),都可以让你很快地发现一条有趣的推文/视频,因为浏览和消费内容的速度快、效率高。\n但是音频不行,即使每一分钟中有 3 个片段很有料,你依然很难快速找到。\n这就是我之前所说的播客固有的缺陷之一:\n\n或者这样理解,同样是异步“对话”(图文、音频、视频),只要人们还足够喜欢、习惯 Feed 流的体验,那么他们就永远难以喜欢、习惯、尝试去探索一段“对话”。\nTTYL(Talk With Friends)跳出了播客固有的玩法,它允许朋友之间通过音频对话。但没有全局视图可供加入,也没有演讲者/听众的区别。这就带来了严重的社交流动性挑战。为了真正把这个产品用起来,你必须认识 50 个人才有可能。\n为什么?当你打开它时,它会向你的朋友发送通知,他们中的某些人可以选择加入。但问题是,比例会有多少?通常不超过 5%。如果你有 50 个朋友,会有 2 或 3 个加入,这远远不够。\n另外,由于他们都是你现有的朋友,所以你始终可以通过其他产品和他们交流,留在 TTYL 就变得没有必要,而这显然会限制产品的自发增长和进一步使用。\nTalk Show 曾经尝试把播客“实时化”。你可以通过它向朋友发送邀请,一起录制一段音频节目,他们可以通过 App 或电话加入。一旦你开始录制,就可以在 Twitter 或其他社交平台同步一个链接,这样其他人也能看到、可以同步收听。\n这个想法最初是为了减少录制音频的摩擦,因为对于创作者而言,生产一段高质量播客的成本是不低的。但它后来也没成功,虽然在创作者一侧有所改进,但对于听众来说,体验几乎没差别。\nClubhouse 的诞生可能算是集合了以上所有产品的优点:\n1)你无需事先安排一场对话,这就要比录播客轻松很多。\n2)它保留了 TTYL 的交互式体验。\n3)由于对话是公开的,社交流动性得以解决。任何人都可以加入,主动发言或是单纯聆听,你完全可以在不想讲话时正常使用。\n4)它解决了困扰 Anchor 和 Bumpers 的“提要”问题,因为听有趣的人实时进行 40 分钟的交谈是一种更特殊的体验,它和 feed 流并不在同一维度竞争。\n倒数第二个问题,Clubhouse 存在什么缺陷?\nClubhouse 的主要功能是提高对话的流动性、帮助人们更好地用音频沟通。这意味着,理想情况下,你可以随时加入,并进入一个你认为的最酷的人的房间,他们在谈论你真正感兴趣的内容。而当你加入时,他们会注意到你、甚至可能邀请你发言,然后大家聊得很愉快,听众也收获颇丰。\n但是,这种高质量的聊天永远是稀缺的,如何让它们更多、更快产生?\n不如这样思考,什么情况下这种高质量的聊天极难获得?如果消除了障碍,就可以达成目的。\n一个比较明显的障碍是,你如何判断哪个房间“最好”。如果同时看到二十个可供加入,你怎么知道加入哪个最不容易后悔?\n最直接的解决办法是:可以在每个房间的人物界面处添加更多的个人说明。\n此外,这种实时音频社交还可能需要一些功能:比如在冷场时抛出某个可供讨论的话题,内置一些可以共同参与的社交游戏,内嵌 1v1 私聊的功能(就像小组讨论时你和别人私下耳语),甚至是允许用户在想要发言时输入一些简短的文字,以便大家知道他们想说什么。\n最后一个问题,Clubhouse 未来如何赚钱。\n2C 社交产品一般都很晚才考虑商业化。而且过去的默认假设是,先做到一定规模,然后在信息流投广告。但在国外 Facebook、Google 统治线上广告的世界,小产品想杀出重围太难了。\n更何况,人们现在对隐私相当敏感。不掌握隐私没法精准投放,不精准就没人愿意投钱。\nClubhouse 创始人目前的想法是,他希望专注于通过这个产品的用户本身获利。可能的途径包括:打赏小费,高级创作者的订阅费,房间和用户头像皮肤,需要付费解锁的社交游戏等等。\n最终选择哪些途径,显然还要参考核心用户的体验,从他们使用过程去考虑。广告太死板,也太粗暴了。\n此外,一定的商业化收入还可以带来一个好处:与潜在收购方进行谈判。\nPeriscope 和 Vine 被收购是一场悲剧。如果他们有机会作为独立平台进行更多玩法的尝试,结局可能会不一样。而 Instagram 和 Snapchat 到今天依然强大,也许是有原因的。如果收购的太早,可能会无意中破坏很多价值。\n谁会是正确的收购方?\nTwitter 显然是一个。他们已经买了一家直播视频公司,再买一个音频公司应该也不排斥。他们的核心业务是最大限度地延长用户时长,以便展示更多广告。Clubhouse 符合需求。\n另外,如果 Clubhouse 基于用户的 Twitter 个人资料和关注者列表来拓展,可能会走得更快些。\nSpotify 是另一个潜在收购方。他们一直在避免将所有收入都支付给唱片公司,主要策略就是让用户在产品中消费其他类型的音频内容,即播客。Clubhouse 在一定程度上有潜力取代播客。因此,收购 Clubhouse 对 Spotify 而言,不仅是进攻方式,也是防御手段。\n对于 Spotify 来说,Clubhouse 还可能代表一种独特的内容形式,这是你在其他任何地方都无法获得的。如果还能发挥音乐版权效果,在房间中加入背景音乐,可以使 Clubhouse 体验变得更好。\n最后需要指出,社交是条极残酷的赛道,Clubhouse 的未来,要么化为乌有,要么举足轻重。\n国外 Facebook + Instagram + WhatsApp + Messenger 的局面几乎锁死了一众社交新品的天花板。但正如 Ben Evans 所言,硅谷是个运行各项实验的系统,既然是实验总归会失败,the key is for the ones that work to really really work。\n不管小环境还是大环境,有活力,有犯错的可能,才有希望。","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":125,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":315959222,"gmtCreate":1612194531266,"gmtModify":1703758715466,"author":{"id":"3564093190306412","authorId":"3564093190306412","name":"KelvinSoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b333224893edcbb4a1b5e5f42233597","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564093190306412","authorIdStr":"3564093190306412"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Omg

POINTS\n\nThe budget airline is on track for a net loss of between 850 million euros ($1.03 billion) and 950 million euros for its 2021 fiscal year, ending in March.\nThe carrier “expects the latest lockdowns and pre-arrival Covid test requirement to materially reduce flight schedules and traffic through to Easter.”\nRyanair shares are down about 12% since the start of the year.\n\nLONDON —Ryanairexpects this fiscal year to be “the most challenging” in its 35 year-history, the company said on Monday, as governments step up travel restrictions in an effort to containnew variants of Covid-19.\nThe budget airline is on track for a net loss of between 850 million euros ($1.03 billion) and 950 million euros for its 2021 fiscal year, ending in March. It reported a net loss of 306 million euros for the three months ending in December.\n“Covid-19 continues to wreak havoc across the industry,” Ryanair said in a statement. It added that Christmas and New Year traffic “was severely impacted” by travel bans imposed on U.K. travelers in late December.\nA number of European governments decided to impose restrictions on flights leaving the U.K. before Christmas after news that a new variant of Covid-19 identified in the county was spreading quickly. This contributed to a 83% drop in traffic in the month of December for Ryanair.\nThe carrier “expects the latest lockdowns and pre-arrival Covid test requirement to materially reduce flight schedules and traffic through to Easter.”\nThe new year saw European governments extending or introducing lockdowns as they faced a steep surge in new infections. More recently,countries in the region have discouraged non-essential travelas they look to bring down their number of daily cases. It is currently unclear when countries will start reopening their economies and go as far as encouraging travel abroad.\nHowever, European governments are in the process of vaccinating their populations in the hope that this will allow them to return to the normal day-to-day more quickly. However, thevaccine roll-out in Europe is facing production, supply and red tape issues.\n“We take some comfort from the success of the U.K. vaccine programme, which is on target to vaccinate almost 50% of the U.K. population (30 million) by the end of March. The EU now needs to step up the slow pace of its rollout programme to match the U.K.’s performance,” Ryanair said on Monday.\nRyanair shares are down about 12% since the start of the year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":44,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":315924591,"gmtCreate":1612194411513,"gmtModify":1703758711351,"author":{"id":"3564093190306412","authorId":"3564093190306412","name":"KelvinSoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b333224893edcbb4a1b5e5f42233597","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564093190306412","authorIdStr":"3564093190306412"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/315924591","repostId":"2108271505","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":87,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":315959222,"gmtCreate":1612194531266,"gmtModify":1703758715466,"author":{"id":"3564093190306412","authorId":"3564093190306412","name":"KelvinSoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b333224893edcbb4a1b5e5f42233597","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564093190306412","authorIdStr":"3564093190306412"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Omg ","listText":"Omg ","text":"Omg","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/315959222","repostId":"1168853013","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1168853013","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1612173617,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1168853013?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-01 18:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Ryanair expects a loss of over $1 billion this year as travel restrictions bite","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1168853013","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nThe budget airline is on track for a net loss of between 850 million euros ($1.03 billio","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nThe budget airline is on track for a net loss of between 850 million euros ($1.03 billion) and 950 million euros for its 2021 fiscal year, ending in March.\nThe carrier “expects the latest ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/01/ryanair-earnings-q3-2021-1-billion-loss-expected-on-travel-disruption.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

It reported a net loss of 306 million euros for the three months ending in December.\n“Covid-19 continues to wreak havoc across the industry,” Ryanair said in a statement. It added that Christmas and New Year traffic “was severely impacted” by travel bans imposed on U.K. travelers in late December.\nA number of European governments decided to impose restrictions on flights leaving the U.K. before Christmas after news that a new variant of Covid-19 identified in the county was spreading quickly. This contributed to a 83% drop in traffic in the month of December for Ryanair.\nThe carrier “expects the latest lockdowns and pre-arrival Covid test requirement to materially reduce flight schedules and traffic through to Easter.”\nThe new year saw European governments extending or introducing lockdowns as they faced a steep surge in new infections.

And for Baidu, it marks a further effort to diversify its business well beyond advertising.\nBaidu’s Nasdaq-traded shares jumped more than 3.5% after hours. They climbed 6.67% on Tuesday.\nBaidu’s chip company would be a subsidiary, with the search giant likely to be the majority shareholder, the person said. Venture capital firms GGV and IDG Capital are involved in early stage discussions to invest in Baidu’s chip firm, the source added. Both firms have extensive investments in China.\nBaidu declined to comment when contacted by CNBC. IDG Capital was not immediately available for comment.Calls to GGV’s offices in Singapore, Shanghai and Beijing went unanswered.\nCurrently, Baidu has an in-house chip unit that has helped to develop its Kunlun semiconductors, designed to process huge amounts of data for artificial intelligence applications. But a standalone chip company is seen helping Baidu to better commercialize its technology, the source said.\nThe semiconductor business would aim to sell chips to customers in several industries including automakers, which are currently facing a global chip shortage.\nA standalone chip maker could also tie into other parts of Baidu’s businesses, such as its driverless car software.\nDiversification flurry\nBaidu’s move is part of push by the company to diversify its broader business — an effort which since September alone has seen the Chinese technology giant raise money for a biotech firm and a standalone electric vehicle company.\nAdvertising accounts for most of Baidu’s revenue currently, but other operations are contributing a growing percentage of sales. Ad-related revenue, which the company refers to in its earnings statements as online marketing services, accounted for around 80% of total revenue in 2018. That proportion fell to 71% in the third quarter of 2020, the most recent published results.\nBaidu’s semiconductor focus comes as the Chinese government tries to boost domestic independence around that critical technology — a trend that has accelerated during China’s trade war with the United States.\nChinese internet giant Tencent, the owner of messaging app WeChat,recently invested in an AI chip start-up.\nIn 2019, e-commerce company Alibaba launched its first chip to power artificial intelligence processes.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":248,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":380920200,"gmtCreate":1612505585500,"gmtModify":1703762827752,"author":{"id":"3564093190306412","authorId":"3564093190306412","name":"KelvinSoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b333224893edcbb4a1b5e5f42233597","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564093190306412","authorIdStr":"3564093190306412"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice.

It has led to eight delistings…and a [Justice Department] case against tariff evasion,” he said.</p>\n<p>Ultimately, he said Muddy Waters would continue its work and that the market would determine whether it becomes uneconomical.</p>\n<p>Beyond investing, Carson launchedZer0es.TVlast year, with the intent of providing in-depth discussions about short selling and investing. In a recent video, he said that angst emanating from Redditors may also reflect pent-up frustration with COVID confinement and a desire to disrupt establishment structures as the gap between the wealthy and the impoverished widens.</p>\n<p>He said that the new landscape of social-media-driven trading may result in pros being more nimble.</p>\n<p>“We may just have to be more creative and smart in how we structure trades and manage risk,” he added, suggesting that pro investors may need to structure more complex trades to avoid being blown out of some positions.</p>\n<p>Block said he’s not betting that the markets will break down soon, but warned that we are at a point in the cycle where anything can go wrong.</p>\n<p>“We’re not in a tightening cycle, but there are a lot of things that can go wrong and can have a knock-on effect to the market, and a market that is very much tied to flows,” Block said.</p>\n<p>“I’m not taking the view that it’s about to end soon,” he said.</p>\n<p>On Monday, the market regained some of the ground lost in Friday’s drubbing, with the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,+0.76%,the S&P 500 indexSPX,+1.61%and the Nasdaq Composite IndexCOMP,+2.55%finishing solidly higher.</p>\n<p>Block rose to fame in 2011 after he revealed fraudulent practices at Chinese forestry company Sino-Forest Corp., which ended up filing for bankruptcy the following year.</p>\n<p>Block, on hisZer0es.TVwebcast, said he has little doubt about where this ends for individual investors, and described popular trading platform Robinhood as selling their clients to market makers, who in turn pay them for customer information, known as payment for order flow.</p>\n<p>“When you look at Robinhood, it’s the ultimate manifestation of the Silicon Valley model, right?

It has led to eight delistings…and a [Justice Department] case against tariff evasion,” he said.\nUltimately, he said Muddy Waters would continue its work and that the market would determine whether it becomes uneconomical.\nBeyond investing, Carson launchedZer0es.TVlast year, with the intent of providing in-depth discussions about short selling and investing. In a recent video, he said that angst emanating from Redditors may also reflect pent-up frustration with COVID confinement and a desire to disrupt establishment structures as the gap between the wealthy and the impoverished widens.\nHe said that the new landscape of social-media-driven trading may result in pros being more nimble.\n“We may just have to be more creative and smart in how we structure trades and manage risk,” he added, suggesting that pro investors may need to structure more complex trades to avoid being blown out of some positions.\nBlock said he’s not betting that the markets will break down soon, but warned that we are at a point in the cycle where anything can go wrong.\n“We’re not in a tightening cycle, but there are a lot of things that can go wrong and can have a knock-on effect to the market, and a market that is very much tied to flows,” Block said.\n“I’m not taking the view that it’s about to end soon,” he said.\nOn Monday, the market regained some of the ground lost in Friday’s drubbing, with the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,+0.76%,the S&P 500 indexSPX,+1.61%and the Nasdaq Composite IndexCOMP,+2.55%finishing solidly higher.\nBlock rose to fame in 2011 after he revealed fraudulent practices at Chinese forestry company Sino-Forest Corp., which ended up filing for bankruptcy the following year.\nBlock, on hisZer0es.TVwebcast, said he has little doubt about where this ends for individual investors, and described popular trading platform Robinhood as selling their clients to market makers, who in turn pay them for customer information, known as payment for order flow.\n“When you look at Robinhood, it’s the ultimate manifestation of the Silicon Valley model, right? You know, we are the products that are sold when you’re using Twitter, Gmail, etc.,” he said.\n“I have no doubt where this ends, right … for retail — I mean, in tears.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":570,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":383517946,"gmtCreate":1612884157685,"gmtModify":1703766381071,"author":{"id":"3564093190306412","authorId":"3564093190306412","name":"KelvinSoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b333224893edcbb4a1b5e5f42233597","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564093190306412","authorIdStr":"3564093190306412"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Waiting

VC、名人圈层的新兴社交产品一直热度不减。它叫 Clubhouse,誉为“音频 Twitter”,还没正式上架,内测用户才五千,估值已达 1 亿美元。</p>\n<p>简言之这是个实时语音聊天室。打开 App,你可以查看房间里都有谁,在聊什么,决定是否继续听或直接加入群聊。</p>\n<p>它之所以持续引发热议,原因包括但不限于:</p>\n<p>1)<b>风评两极分化严重。</b>用过的人里,极度看好的表示,这是他们自 Instagram 之后首次看到让人如此兴奋的社交产品,体验新奇,且充满可能性;极度看衰的人则认为,这完全就是硅谷精英的自嗨。</p>\n<p>而这些评价完全不影响它在 Twitter 上继续疯狂刷屏。用上的人自然要点评一番,好让大家知道自己用过;还没用上的众多蝗虫用户,又都在求内测资格,以便成为前一种人。场面堪称火爆。</p>\n<p>2)<b>极度奉行快速迭代策略。</b>核心团队只有两个人,每天都会发布新版本、加入新功能。</p>\n<p>这俩都是连续创业者,一个曾在 Google 工作,在 Benchmark 担任驻地企业家一年多,出来创业做了个产品名为 Highlight,被 A16Z 投资并于 2016 年被 Pinterest 收购。</p>\n<p>3)<b>母公司投资阵容豪华。</b>Clubhouse 母公司 Alpha Exploration 在今年 2 月完成种子轮融资。投资者包括 Houseparty 联合创始人,知名天使投资人 Todd Goldberg,Superhuman 联合创始人,AngelList 联合创始人等。</p>\n<p>4)<b>Clubhouse 最新一轮融资引发美国两大重量级 VC 争相竞购。</b>Benchmark 报价 8000 万美元,A16Z 开出更好的价格并成功投了 A 轮——以 1 亿美元估值投资 1000 万。</p>\n<p>5)<b>用户行为和特征均十分特殊。</b>据说它的一些早期用户平均每天使用时长 8 到 12 个小时。而相较正常社交产品 1 个用户大概值 100 美元的价格,Clubhouse 单用户价值 20000 美元,足足是前者的 200 倍。</p>\n<p>这么神奇,它凭什么?</p>\n<p>这篇本文试图回答:<b>Clubhouse 究竟满足了什么需求?与替代品相比如何?未来的商业模式可能是什么?竞争优势又是什么?</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7426f00394a48d4726fd7b0331f920c1\" tg-width=\"482\" tg-height=\"970\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Clubhouse 之所以迅速引发讨论,其实是占了播客和社交这两个时下很火热、且所有人都难以抗拒的话题的便宜。</p>\n<p><b>播客的妙处在于,它可以是一种有效拉近用户和“名人”距离的社交方式</b>(尽管这种“社交”并不对等)。大多数人第一次选择去听其他人在聊什么,这里的“其他人”很大概率不会是他们之前不熟悉、没听过的人。而借由播客来了解你所关注的人的思考方式和说话方式,带来的直接结果就是,你听的越多,越喜欢他们。</p>\n<p><b>播客还可以是一种学习方式。</b>不要认为大多数人对“学习”不感兴趣:生活方式、游戏、体育这些都可以被学习。很多人花了大量时间在视频(快手、抖音、B站、TikTok、Twitch、YouTube)、图文(微博、Twitter、小红书)上,起因可能也只是因为他们想学习。</p>\n<p>只不过,他们并不是学习如何工作,而是学习如何生活。很多实践和社会性技能是学校不可能教的,但又必定贯穿正常人的一生。</p>\n<p>当然,播客并不是社交+学习的唯一途径,图文和视频也可以。但是 Clubhouse 又把社交元素加入进来,这种不需要脚本的实时对话,使得它相较其他社交产品又具有独特的优势。</p>\n<p>首先,声音的产生和消费不需要眼睛的参与,这使得音频比文字和视频的适用场景更广泛、适应性更强。</p>\n<p>音频的另一个好处是,当你进入一小撮人的实时交流时,它能产生一定的流动性。</p>\n<p>你如何在 Clubhouse 上认识人?进入一个关注者的房间,举手说话或单纯聆听。这个简单的机制解决了播客作为社交方式最大的问题之一:破冰。</p>\n<p>当然,此前并非没有产品尝试过把播客扩展为一种社交方式,但它们基本都没成功。</p>\n<p>Clubhouse 目前的氛围和用户群都表明它有望进一步实现这个梦想。而在此之前,我们可以看看过去的类似产品都是如何失败的。</p>\n<p>美国此前陆续出现一系列音频社交 App,<b>我们以 Anchor,Bumpers,TTYL,Talk Show 为例来具体分析。</b></p>\n<p>首先,Anchor 和 Bumpers都是 2015 年左右在纽约成立的,二者思路相似:带你认识“音频发烧友”。</p>\n<p>登录之后,你可以听到自己所关注的人的简短录音提要,然后决定是否评论、回复,或是发布自己的音频内容。不少人在这两个平台上都收获了相当多的粉丝。</p>\n<p>但最终,Anchor 成为播客工具,并于 2018 年被 Spotify 收购;Bumpers 成为视频工具,最终被 Coinbase 收购。</p>\n<p>什么地方出了错?录音提要。用户自发上传的简短音频不足以像真正的播客那样吸引人,同时又不足以像 Twitter、Instagram、Facebook 的 feed 流那样给人持续高频的刺激。</p>\n<p>如今所有亿级用户产品(微信朋友圈、抖音、快手、微博、小红书、Twitter、Instagram、Facebook、TikTok 等),都可以让你很快地发现一条有趣的推文/视频,因为浏览和消费内容的速度快、效率高。</p>\n<p>但是音频不行,即使每一分钟中有 3 个片段很有料,你依然很难快速找到。</p>\n<p>这就是我之前所说的播客固有的缺陷之一:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73239228942b39a5710a24a9b1d663e6\" tg-width=\"828\" tg-height=\"1164\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>或者这样理解,<b>同样是异步“对话”(图文、音频、视频),只要人们还足够喜欢、习惯 Feed 流的体验,那么他们就永远难以喜欢、习惯、尝试去探索一段“对话”。</b></p>\n<p>TTYL(Talk With Friends)跳出了播客固有的玩法,它允许朋友之间通过音频对话。但没有全局视图可供加入,也没有演讲者/听众的区别。这就带来了严重的社交流动性挑战。为了真正把这个产品用起来,你必须认识 50 个人才有可能。</p>\n<p>为什么?当你打开它时,它会向你的朋友发送通知,他们中的某些人可以选择加入。但问题是,比例会有多少?通常不超过 5%。如果你有 50 个朋友,会有 2 或 3 个加入,这远远不够。</p>\n<p>另外,由于他们都是你现有的朋友,所以你始终可以通过其他产品和他们交流,留在 TTYL 就变得没有必要,而这显然会限制产品的自发增长和进一步使用。</p>\n<p>Talk Show 曾经尝试把播客“实时化”。你可以通过它向朋友发送邀请,一起录制一段音频节目,他们可以通过 App 或电话加入。一旦你开始录制,就可以在 Twitter 或其他社交平台同步一个链接,这样其他人也能看到、可以同步收听。</p>\n<p>这个想法最初是为了减少录制音频的摩擦,因为对于创作者而言,生产一段高质量播客的成本是不低的。但它后来也没成功,虽然在创作者一侧有所改进,但对于听众来说,体验几乎没差别。</p>\n<p>Clubhouse 的诞生可能算是集合了以上所有产品的优点:</p>\n<p>1)你无需事先安排一场对话,这就要比录播客轻松很多。</p>\n<p>2)它保留了 TTYL 的交互式体验。</p>\n<p>3)由于对话是公开的,社交流动性得以解决。任何人都可以加入,主动发言或是单纯聆听,你完全可以在不想讲话时正常使用。</p>\n<p>4)它解决了困扰 Anchor 和 Bumpers 的“提要”问题,因为听有趣的人实时进行 40 分钟的交谈是一种更特殊的体验,它和 feed 流并不在同一维度竞争。</p>\n<p>倒数第二个问题,Clubhouse 存在什么缺陷?</p>\n<p>Clubhouse 的主要功能是提高对话的流动性、帮助人们更好地用音频沟通。这意味着,理想情况下,你可以随时加入,并进入一个你认为的最酷的人的房间,他们在谈论你真正感兴趣的内容。而当你加入时,他们会注意到你、甚至可能邀请你发言,然后大家聊得很愉快,听众也收获颇丰。</p>\n<p>但是,这种高质量的聊天永远是稀缺的,如何让它们更多、更快产生?</p>\n<p>不如这样思考,什么情况下这种高质量的聊天极难获得?如果消除了障碍,就可以达成目的。</p>\n<p>一个比较明显的障碍是,你如何判断哪个房间“最好”。如果同时看到二十个可供加入,你怎么知道加入哪个最不容易后悔?</p>\n<p>最直接的解决办法是:可以在每个房间的人物界面处添加更多的个人说明。</p>\n<p><img

VC、名人圈层的新兴社交产品一直热度不减。它叫 Clubhouse,誉为“音频 Twitter”,还没正式上架,内测用户才五千,估值已达 1 亿美元。\n简言之这是个实时语音聊天室。打开 App,你可以查看房间里都有谁,在聊什么,决定是否继续听或直接加入群聊。\n它之所以持续引发热议,原因包括但不限于:\n1)风评两极分化严重。用过的人里,极度看好的表示,这是他们自 Instagram 之后首次看到让人如此兴奋的社交产品,体验新奇,且充满可能性;极度看衰的人则认为,这完全就是硅谷精英的自嗨。\n而这些评价完全不影响它在 Twitter 上继续疯狂刷屏。用上的人自然要点评一番,好让大家知道自己用过;还没用上的众多蝗虫用户,又都在求内测资格,以便成为前一种人。场面堪称火爆。\n2)极度奉行快速迭代策略。核心团队只有两个人,每天都会发布新版本、加入新功能。\n这俩都是连续创业者,一个曾在 Google 工作,在 Benchmark 担任驻地企业家一年多,出来创业做了个产品名为 Highlight,被 A16Z 投资并于 2016 年被 Pinterest 收购。\n3)母公司投资阵容豪华。Clubhouse 母公司 Alpha Exploration 在今年 2 月完成种子轮融资。投资者包括 Houseparty 联合创始人,知名天使投资人 Todd Goldberg,Superhuman 联合创始人,AngelList 联合创始人等。\n4)Clubhouse 最新一轮融资引发美国两大重量级 VC 争相竞购。Benchmark 报价 8000 万美元,A16Z 开出更好的价格并成功投了 A 轮——以 1 亿美元估值投资 1000 万。\n5)用户行为和特征均十分特殊。据说它的一些早期用户平均每天使用时长 8 到 12 个小时。而相较正常社交产品 1 个用户大概值 100 美元的价格,Clubhouse 单用户价值 20000 美元,足足是前者的 200 倍。\n这么神奇,它凭什么?\n这篇本文试图回答:Clubhouse 究竟满足了什么需求?与替代品相比如何?未来的商业模式可能是什么?竞争优势又是什么?\n\nClubhouse 之所以迅速引发讨论,其实是占了播客和社交这两个时下很火热、且所有人都难以抗拒的话题的便宜。\n播客的妙处在于,它可以是一种有效拉近用户和“名人”距离的社交方式(尽管这种“社交”并不对等)。大多数人第一次选择去听其他人在聊什么,这里的“其他人”很大概率不会是他们之前不熟悉、没听过的人。而借由播客来了解你所关注的人的思考方式和说话方式,带来的直接结果就是,你听的越多,越喜欢他们。\n播客还可以是一种学习方式。不要认为大多数人对“学习”不感兴趣:生活方式、游戏、体育这些都可以被学习。很多人花了大量时间在视频(快手、抖音、B站、TikTok、Twitch、YouTube)、图文(微博、Twitter、小红书)上,起因可能也只是因为他们想学习。\n只不过,他们并不是学习如何工作,而是学习如何生活。很多实践和社会性技能是学校不可能教的,但又必定贯穿正常人的一生。\n当然,播客并不是社交+学习的唯一途径,图文和视频也可以。但是 Clubhouse 又把社交元素加入进来,这种不需要脚本的实时对话,使得它相较其他社交产品又具有独特的优势。\n首先,声音的产生和消费不需要眼睛的参与,这使得音频比文字和视频的适用场景更广泛、适应性更强。\n音频的另一个好处是,当你进入一小撮人的实时交流时,它能产生一定的流动性。\n你如何在 Clubhouse 上认识人?进入一个关注者的房间,举手说话或单纯聆听。这个简单的机制解决了播客作为社交方式最大的问题之一:破冰。\n当然,此前并非没有产品尝试过把播客扩展为一种社交方式,但它们基本都没成功。\nClubhouse 目前的氛围和用户群都表明它有望进一步实现这个梦想。而在此之前,我们可以看看过去的类似产品都是如何失败的。\n美国此前陆续出现一系列音频社交 App,我们以 Anchor,Bumpers,TTYL,Talk Show 为例来具体分析。\n首先,Anchor 和 Bumpers都是 2015 年左右在纽约成立的,二者思路相似:带你认识“音频发烧友”。\n登录之后,你可以听到自己所关注的人的简短录音提要,然后决定是否评论、回复,或是发布自己的音频内容。不少人在这两个平台上都收获了相当多的粉丝。\n但最终,Anchor 成为播客工具,并于 2018 年被 Spotify 收购;Bumpers 成为视频工具,最终被 Coinbase 收购。\n什么地方出了错?录音提要。用户自发上传的简短音频不足以像真正的播客那样吸引人,同时又不足以像 Twitter、Instagram、Facebook 的 feed 流那样给人持续高频的刺激。\n如今所有亿级用户产品(微信朋友圈、抖音、快手、微博、小红书、Twitter、Instagram、Facebook、TikTok 等),都可以让你很快地发现一条有趣的推文/视频,因为浏览和消费内容的速度快、效率高。\n但是音频不行,即使每一分钟中有 3 个片段很有料,你依然很难快速找到。\n这就是我之前所说的播客固有的缺陷之一:\n\n或者这样理解,同样是异步“对话”(图文、音频、视频),只要人们还足够喜欢、习惯 Feed 流的体验,那么他们就永远难以喜欢、习惯、尝试去探索一段“对话”。\nTTYL(Talk With Friends)跳出了播客固有的玩法,它允许朋友之间通过音频对话。但没有全局视图可供加入,也没有演讲者/听众的区别。这就带来了严重的社交流动性挑战。为了真正把这个产品用起来,你必须认识 50 个人才有可能。\n为什么?当你打开它时,它会向你的朋友发送通知,他们中的某些人可以选择加入。但问题是,比例会有多少?通常不超过 5%。如果你有 50 个朋友,会有 2 或 3 个加入,这远远不够。\n另外,由于他们都是你现有的朋友,所以你始终可以通过其他产品和他们交流,留在 TTYL 就变得没有必要,而这显然会限制产品的自发增长和进一步使用。\nTalk Show 曾经尝试把播客“实时化”。你可以通过它向朋友发送邀请,一起录制一段音频节目,他们可以通过 App 或电话加入。一旦你开始录制,就可以在 Twitter 或其他社交平台同步一个链接,这样其他人也能看到、可以同步收听。\n这个想法最初是为了减少录制音频的摩擦,因为对于创作者而言,生产一段高质量播客的成本是不低的。但它后来也没成功,虽然在创作者一侧有所改进,但对于听众来说,体验几乎没差别。\nClubhouse 的诞生可能算是集合了以上所有产品的优点:\n1)你无需事先安排一场对话,这就要比录播客轻松很多。\n2)它保留了 TTYL 的交互式体验。\n3)由于对话是公开的,社交流动性得以解决。任何人都可以加入,主动发言或是单纯聆听,你完全可以在不想讲话时正常使用。\n4)它解决了困扰 Anchor 和 Bumpers 的“提要”问题,因为听有趣的人实时进行 40 分钟的交谈是一种更特殊的体验,它和 feed 流并不在同一维度竞争。\n倒数第二个问题,Clubhouse 存在什么缺陷?\nClubhouse

1v1 私聊的功能(就像小组讨论时你和别人私下耳语),甚至是允许用户在想要发言时输入一些简短的文字,以便大家知道他们想说什么。\n最后一个问题,Clubhouse 未来如何赚钱。\n2C 社交产品一般都很晚才考虑商业化。而且过去的默认假设是,先做到一定规模,然后在信息流投广告。但在国外 Facebook、Google 统治线上广告的世界,小产品想杀出重围太难了。\n更何况,人们现在对隐私相当敏感。不掌握隐私没法精准投放,不精准就没人愿意投钱。\nClubhouse 创始人目前的想法是,他希望专注于通过这个产品的用户本身获利。可能的途径包括:打赏小费,高级创作者的订阅费,房间和用户头像皮肤,需要付费解锁的社交游戏等等。\n最终选择哪些途径,显然还要参考核心用户的体验,从他们使用过程去考虑。广告太死板,也太粗暴了。\n此外,一定的商业化收入还可以带来一个好处:与潜在收购方进行谈判。\nPeriscope 和 Vine 被收购是一场悲剧。如果他们有机会作为独立平台进行更多玩法的尝试,结局可能会不一样。而 Instagram 和 Snapchat 到今天依然强大,也许是有原因的。如果收购的太早,可能会无意中破坏很多价值。\n谁会是正确的收购方?\nTwitter 显然是一个。他们已经买了一家直播视频公司,再买一个音频公司应该也不排斥。他们的核心业务是最大限度地延长用户时长,以便展示更多广告。Clubhouse

Apple","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1176373590","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Andy Jassy, the incoming Amazon CEO, needs to improve labor relations, reduce packaging waste and fu","content":"<p>Andy Jassy, the incoming Amazon CEO, needs to improve labor relations, reduce packaging waste and further its climate goals if it wants to be a world-leading company from an environmental, social and governance perspective.</p>\n<p>Indeed, Amazon’s role model could be Apple,which advocates say has become a sustainability leader among megacap stocks.</p>\n<p>Amazon is starting to make strong operational strides such as investing in electric vehicles for its fleet and running data centers on renewable energy, but remains a laggard in other key ESG pillars such as workplace issues, racial and diversity inclusion and has more work to do on carbon reduction, say ESG advocates. Because of that, only a handle of ESG exchange-traded funds and mutual funds own the company.</p>\n<p>Outgoing CEO Jeff Bezos, the founder of the e-commerce giant, has “actually done the hard stuff, the hardest stuff being operations,” says Andrew Behar, CEO of As You Sow, a nonprofit shareholder advocacy group. “On other issues, though, he’s completely not even thinking about them.”</p>\n<p>Bezos will retain an influential position in the company as executive chairman and one of its largest shareholders. Jassy, the new CEO, is now the head of Amazon Web Services, the company’s cloud-computing business.</p>\n<p>Inhis letter to Amazon’s workforce, Bezos tried to burnish his ESG credentials:</p>\n<p>“As Amazon became large, we decided to use our scale and scope to lead on important social issues. Two high-impact examples: our $15 minimum wage and theClimate Pledge. In both cases, we staked out leadership positions and then asked others to come along with us. In both cases, it’s working. Other large companies are coming our way. I hope you’re proud of that as well.”</p>\n<p>Natasha Lamb, managing partner at Arjuna Capital, a sustainable and impact investment firm focusing on workplace issues for women and people of color, disputes Bezos’ claim of being a leader in these two areas, saying that there was great pressure on the company to increase worker pay and to sign the climate pledge.</p>\n<p>“He is not the poster child of the American dream, but of what is eating America alive, which is growing inequality,” she says.</p>\n<p>Amazonincreasedthe minimum wage to $15 in 2018 after years of criticism that it mistreated and underpaid workers, and the company caughtflakfor what workers said were poor health conditions in the pandemic. It is also fightinga unionization attempt at a warehouse in Alabama.</p>\n<p>Emanuele Colonnelli, an assistant professor of finance at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business who has done ESG research, agrees with Lamb. “A lot of the most promising steps toward ESG seem reactionary, as they have been taken only recently, at a moment in which regulatory and public pressure reached sky-high levels that became impossible to ignore,” he says.</p>\n<p>Although Amazon installed a higher minimum wage,MSCI considers the company a laggard when it comes to corporate behavior and labor management. Overall, MSCI gives Amazon a BBB rating, saying it is average for companies in the retail-consumer discretionary space.</p>\n<p>Lamb says Amazon has become what Walmartwas in the 1990s, criticized for shuttering small businesses. During the coronavirus, “everybody has become so reliant on Amazon, and those patterns are sticky. It has grave implications for small business.”</p>\n<p>Colonnelli says Amazon’s monopoly power can’t be denied and should be at the core of its ESG considerations. “It will be up to Jassy – and Bezos of course- to decide whether they want to be driving the change toward a business model that is less prone to anti-competitive practices, and therefore lead to a more equitable allocation of rents,” he says.</p>\n<p><b>A ‘real opportunity’ to be a leader</b></p>\n<p>Behar says As You Sow has interviewed Amazon employees and says the company has a “real opportunity” to be a leader on human capital management, such as increasing hourly employee wages, improving health care benefits, especially during the pandemic, and paid leave, as well as improving efforts around diversity equity inclusion.</p>\n<p>Lamb says with a new CEO coming on board, she wants greater clarity about defining gender and racial pay equity and to address diversity as a whole, noting that there are very few women and people of color in the company’s upper ranks. She says other shareholders are asking for a racial equity audit and for a worker representative on the board of directors, “which I think would be helpful.”</p>\n<p><b>Climate inroads</b></p>\n<p>When it comes to its climate pledge, Amazon is making some inroads. BloombergNEF said Amazon was the leading corporate buyer of clean energy in 2020, signing 35 separate clean energy power-purchasing agreements, totaling 5.1 gigawatts of power. BNEF says Amazon has now purchased over 7.5GW of clean energy to date, pushing it ahead of Alphabet GOOGL at 6.6GW and Facebook FB at 5.9GW as the world’s largest clean-energy buyer.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f08942b5eaf8d39eb7fe60ce0ba75c91\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"432\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Garvin Jabush, chief investment officer at Green Alpha Advisors, says Amazon’s investments in renewable energy and its $440 million investment in electric-truck start up Rivian are all impressive starts, but the company has a long way to go.</p>\n<p>Green Alpha Advisors doesn’t own Amazon because Jabush says it is still a large contributor to climate risk; he noted the company saw a 15% increase in carbon dioxide emissions in 2019. It also supplies advanced computing data to the oil and gas industry to help fossil-fuel companies locate new deposits.</p>\n<p>Both Jabush and Behar says Amazon faces material risk as it deals with electronic waste and plastic waste. Behar says it is trying to work with the e-commerce giant to reduce waste, noting the company could emulate Best Buy’s take-back program to recycle electronic waste.

Because of that, only a handle of ESG exchange-traded funds and mutual funds own the company.\nOutgoing CEO Jeff Bezos, the founder of the e-commerce giant, has “actually done the hard stuff, the hardest stuff being operations,” says Andrew Behar, CEO of As You Sow, a nonprofit shareholder advocacy group. “On other issues, though, he’s completely not even thinking about them.”\nBezos will retain an influential position in the company as executive chairman and one of its largest shareholders. Jassy, the new CEO, is now the head of Amazon Web Services, the company’s cloud-computing business.\nInhis letter to Amazon’s workforce, Bezos tried to burnish his ESG credentials:\n“As Amazon became large, we decided to use our scale and scope to lead on important social issues. Two high-impact examples: our $15 minimum wage and theClimate Pledge. In both cases, we staked out leadership positions and then asked others to come along with us. In both cases, it’s working. Other large companies are coming our way. I hope you’re proud of that as well.”\nNatasha Lamb, managing partner at Arjuna Capital, a sustainable and impact investment firm focusing on workplace issues for women and people of color, disputes Bezos’ claim of being a leader in these two areas, saying that there was great pressure on the company to increase worker pay and to sign the climate pledge.\n“He is not the poster child of the American dream, but of what is eating America alive, which is growing inequality,” she says.\nAmazonincreasedthe minimum wage to $15 in 2018 after years of criticism that it mistreated and underpaid workers, and the company caughtflakfor what workers said were poor health conditions in the pandemic. It is also fightinga unionization attempt at a warehouse in Alabama.\nEmanuele Colonnelli, an assistant professor of finance at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business who has done ESG research, agrees with Lamb. “A lot of the most promising steps toward ESG seem reactionary, as they have been taken only recently, at a moment in which regulatory and public pressure reached sky-high levels that became impossible to ignore,” he says.\nAlthough Amazon installed a higher minimum wage,MSCI considers the company a laggard when it comes to corporate behavior and labor management. Overall, MSCI gives Amazon a BBB rating, saying it is average for companies in the retail-consumer discretionary space.\nLamb says Amazon has become what Walmartwas in the 1990s, criticized for shuttering small businesses. During the coronavirus, “everybody has become so reliant on Amazon, and those patterns are sticky. It has grave implications for small business.”\nColonnelli says Amazon’s monopoly power can’t be denied and should be at the core of its ESG considerations. “It will be up to Jassy – and Bezos of course- to decide whether they want to be driving the change toward a business model that is less prone to anti-competitive practices, and therefore lead to a more equitable allocation of rents,” he says.\nA ‘real opportunity’ to be a leader\nBehar says As You Sow has interviewed Amazon employees and says the company has a “real opportunity” to be a leader on human capital management, such as increasing hourly employee wages, improving health care benefits, especially during the pandemic, and paid leave, as well as improving efforts around diversity equity inclusion.\nLamb says with a new CEO coming on board, she wants greater clarity about defining gender and racial pay equity and to address diversity as a whole, noting that there are very few women and people of color in the company’s upper ranks. She says other shareholders are asking for a racial equity audit and for a worker representative on the board of directors, “which I think would be helpful.”\nClimate inroads\nWhen it comes to its climate pledge, Amazon is making some inroads. BloombergNEF said Amazon was the leading corporate buyer of clean energy in 2020, signing 35 separate clean energy power-purchasing agreements, totaling 5.1 gigawatts of power. BNEF says Amazon has now purchased over 7.5GW of clean energy to date, pushing it ahead of Alphabet GOOGL at 6.6GW and Facebook FB at 5.9GW as the world’s largest clean-energy buyer.\n\nGarvin Jabush, chief investment officer at Green Alpha Advisors, says Amazon’s investments in renewable energy and its $440 million investment in electric-truck start up Rivian are all impressive starts, but the company has a long way to go.\nGreen Alpha Advisors doesn’t own Amazon because Jabush says it is still a large contributor to climate risk; he noted the company saw a 15% increase in carbon dioxide emissions in 2019. It also supplies advanced computing data to the oil and gas industry to help fossil-fuel companies locate new deposits.\nBoth Jabush and Behar says Amazon faces material risk as it deals with electronic waste and plastic waste. Behar says it is trying to work with the e-commerce giant to reduce waste, noting the company could emulate Best Buy’s take-back program to recycle electronic waste. This could become a sustainable money maker by recouping the copper, gold and silver in used electronic parts, he says.\nReducing plastic waste is also critical since Amazon is a big user of packaging. Amazon has reduced Styrofoam usage, but “they could commit to zero plastic in two to three years from now and it would make a big difference,” he says.\nJabush says it’s always a debate at his firm each year about whether to buy Amazon because it is “a phenomenal business,” but he says until it reduces its climate impact, he won’t buy it. But with a new CEO, there’s an opportunity for change, Jabush says, pointing to how Tim Cook changed Apple after taking over from Steve Jobs.\n“Sustainability was low on their priority list, and Tim Cook has made Apple into by far the most sustainable megacap in the world right now,” he says.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":153,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":383152058,"gmtCreate":1612857520474,"gmtModify":1703765868866,"author":{"id":"3564093190306412","authorId":"3564093190306412","name":"KelvinSoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b333224893edcbb4a1b5e5f42233597","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564093190306412","authorIdStr":"3564093190306412"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Elon Musk all the way","listText":"Elon Musk all the way","text":"Elon Musk all the way","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/383152058","repostId":"2110059821","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2110059821","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1612856757,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2110059821?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-09 15:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Boots the Bitcoin Bandwagon Closer to Corporate America","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2110059821","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Other corporate treasurers will invest in Bitcoin: FundstratBitcoin surged to a record Tuesday after","content":"<ul><li>Other corporate treasurers will invest in Bitcoin: Fundstrat</li><li>Bitcoin surged to a record Tuesday after Tesla investment</li></ul><p>Tesla Inc.’s purchase of $1.5 billion in Bitcoin may have forced cryptocurrencies onto the agenda of corporate treasurers worldwide.</p><p>While crypto acolytes have been saying for some time that corporate adoption is imminent, in reality it had been limited to firms such as MicroStrategy Inc. and Square Inc.

It can help clean up data for exploration in data visualization software such as Salesforce-owned Tableau. The Databricks software gives companies a simple way to run this sort of software, without having to worry about configuring and updating it. Databricks is alsoincreasingly helping organizationsdeploy artificial intelligence models.\n“We’re 100 percent cloud-native,” Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi told CNBC in a 2019 interview. That same principle applies to Snowflake, which Salesforce had also invested in and has demonstratedstrong revenue growthfollowing its initial public offering last year.\nAmazon, the largest cloud provider, did not put money into Snowflake before it went public. Now it’s investing in Databricks at a later stage than it has historically done.\nNominations are open for the 2021CNBC Disruptor 50, a list of private start-ups using breakthrough technology to become the next generation of great public companies.Submitby Friday, Feb. 12, at 3 pm EST.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":77,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":315924591,"gmtCreate":1612194411513,"gmtModify":1703758711351,"author":{"id":"3564093190306412","authorId":"3564093190306412","name":"KelvinSoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b333224893edcbb4a1b5e5f42233597","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564093190306412","authorIdStr":"3564093190306412"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/315924591","repostId":"2108271505","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":87,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
