He overheard them talking about the Provincial Party Committee secretary, who was upset about a news story. The official told the reporters negative stories would no longer be published. A month later, a mysterious virus started spreading though Wuhan's residents, causing pneumonia-like symptoms. In early January, Chinese officials called this new virus "preventable and controllable." They said they had seen "no evidence of person-to-person transmission." Throughout the week of January 11, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission published the same number of confirmed cases: 41. Those official statements failed to convince Zhang. In his mind, he kept hearing what he'd overheard the reporters talking about in the restaurant. Read more ....

The Coronavirus Outbreak Will Be Worse For The Global Economy Than SARS Posted: 08 Feb 2020 05:48 AM PST CNBC: Coronavirus: The hit to the global economy will be worse than SARS * The new coronavirus outbreak will be worse for the global economy than the 2003 SARS outbreak was, data analysis firm IHS Markit predicts. * Since the SARS outbreak, China has grown from the world's sixth-largest economy to the second biggest today. * The longterm economic impact of the new coronavirus outbreak will be determined largely by China's containment measures, the report says. The new coronavirus outbreak will be worse for the global economy than the 2003 SARS epidemic was, data analysis firm IHS Markit predicts. While both outbreaks originated in China, nearly two decades separate the SARS outbreak from the new coronavirus outbreak. In that time, China has grown from the world's sixth-largest economy to the second biggest today behind the U.S. The country has been a main growth driver worldwide, with the International Monetary Fund estimating that China alone accounted for 39% of global economic expansion in 2019.

Roman Pilipey/Pool via Reuters Wang Xiangwei, SCMP: Coronavirus: what Xi fears most is Chinese turning on the Communist Party * It's not just lives, health and the economy that are threatened by the deadly disease. * China's authoritarian centralised system of rule is, too Back on January 21 last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping told a gathering of senior officials that they must be on guard against "black swans" and "grey rhinos" which could threaten the rule of the Communist Party amid a slowing economy. At that time, Xi's use of animal metaphors sparked discussions among observers who generally interpreted his warnings as being related to different kinds of economic risks. "Black swans" are events that cannot be predicted but have a profound impact on markets, while "grey rhinos" are known risks that have the potential to cause great harm but which people choose to ignore. One year later, Xi's wildlife metaphors about the dangers facing the country have proved prophetic on a more literal level. Read more .... WNU Editor: The Chinese Communist Party and the centralization of rule from Beijing has always had a tenuous relationship with the Chinese people. This outbreak, if not under control in the coming months, is going to test that relationship. But as much as Xi is worried about the Chinese turning against the Communist Party, an even bigger concern for him is if the Communist Party turns against him.

economic news of india - world economic news - economics news for students - indian economy news Posted: 08 Feb 2020 08:12 PM PST economic news of india - world economic news - economics news for students - indian economy news Are cos using good-old jugaad to bring women on Board? Budget reignites fight over who gets what A school play landed this town in a legal mess Exit polls predict easy win for AAP in Delhi Government appoints DoT's Mahmood Ahmed on MTNL board as director Samsung plans big comeback with premium smartphones in India Most steel, cement, infra stocks are value traps: Shankar Sharma Samsung plans big comeback with premium smartphones in India IIMA concludes Cluster 1 placement: McKinsey & BCG- top recruiters Are cos using good-old jugaad to bring women on Board? Posted: By Rama BijapurkarThe response that we have seen so far to the new law mandating reservation of board seats for women has been disappointing and shows how far we are from real inclusion. Ironically, this applies to both those supporting and opposing the move. There has been jugaad in the best Indian tradition to comply with the new but to continue with the old way — a telling comment on the governance standards of boards which managed to do that well. The plethora of well-meaning men and organisations that have sprung up to "mentor" and "train" potential women directors are more patriarchal than progressive in their prescriptions, reflecting a poor understanding of what inclusion is really about (more on that later). They have tried to justify what doesn't need to be justified — does equal rights for equal qualifications need to be justified? Some have put forward data in support, correlating women on boards with higher market cap (giving the sex in Sensex a whole new meaning), and some have asserted that the mere presence of feminine energy on boards will make boards work better.To be absolutely clear, the purpose of introducing reservation for women on boards was simple and singular — to correct the exclusion of capable and qualified women from corporate boards. It was not meant to provide yin to the existing board's yang or to bestow boards with wonderful feminine qualities of mothers and maids. Reservations came into being because existing boards were making little effort to include qualified women. "We would love to, but we can't find any" was the refrain. The answer, of course, lies in the poor governance of how nomination committees function.The search for new board members typically begins with the question "who do we know who fits the bill" (whatever the bill may be that needs to be fitted). And, predictably, given the gender ratios in the world of work at senior levels, the obvious answer was almost always a man.What is the real story on how India Inc has complied with the reservation law? Professor Neharika Vora of IIM-Ahmedabad has done a study on this for FICCI, due to be released next month. Here is a tiny preview of her findings: women now comprise 14% of board directors, a big jump from five years ago. Women directors from the family are a popular choice for promoter businesses. While this is a good and fairer outcome for gen-next daughters — nowadays as well educated as sons — it doesn't improve board governance for obvious reasons.The other finding is that there is the phenomenon of companies complying by appointing women below 30 years of age who are not related to the promoters, have fairly ordinary education and virtually no business experience. Clearly, boards that have done this have scant respect for the quality of their own boards and its ability to govern, leave aside the spirit of inclusion. Interestingly, the study shows that male directors below 30 are far better educated and, typically, members of the promoter family.Board membership entrusts onerous fiduciary responsibility on a person to supervise management that is smart and in control of the business. Hence, a well-established selection criterion for potential board members is that they should have had substantive senior-level experience in their chosen work arenas and should have demonstrated success in their "regular careers". In the case of women, that basic criterion seems to be considered less important. Training outfits and well-meaning mentors are pushing women candidates who have not had the kind of "regular career" experience that equips them for the judgment calls that boards need to make, or the confidence to call out the management where needed. In fact, women are being told that being a board director can be their "regular career". If we persist down this track, the universe of male directors will always be better qualified for the job than the universe of female directors, loading the deck against women directors in terms of contribution to the board.A lot of the training and mentoring advice being given to women is producing "board clerks", not real directors — the accent is on board procedures rather than on processes, on the rituals rather than the religion, on rules rather than on roles. It also tends to be about equipping women to follow the existing rules of the boardroom — fitting in rather than being themselves. It is the dishonest ticking of the diversity box, having people who look different but think and act the same way as everyone else.Real inclusion also needs chairmen who know how to run inclusive boards having members with diverse styles (men and women do have diverse styles. This is well-documented by research around the world). Whenever I have suggested to any women director training shops that they will do better to train the board and the nomination committee chairs on this, I have found that the same enthusiastic trainers of women are nowhere as eager to mess with men in power!The good news is that we are seeing wonderful green shoots of genuine inclusion as a wider pool of very talented women directors is making its way into the more professionally run, board-managed companies. They are women who have already proved their mettle during the course of a substantive career, and have already had experience at holding their own even while in a minority. They place performance ahead of "fitting in" and don't hesitate to challenge group-think or the status quo when needed. My hope and ask is that they will frame the debate better and take charge in laying down the rules of what genuine inclusion and diversity mean. The writer is one of India's most experienced independent directors and an independent management consultant. Budget reignites fight over who gets what Posted: The 2020-21 Union budget and the 15th Finance Commission report have reignited the debate over the relationship between the Centre and states on sharing finances.Revenue Source & OutflowStates contribute funds to the Centre by levying central taxes such as GST within their borders and receive funds from the Centre in a variety of ways. 74031598 States' Revised SharesThe 15th Finance Commission (FC) has slightly modified the formula for distributing states' share of central taxes — the largest component of transfers to states. 74031603 Top Tax CollectorsWhen it comes to generating tax revenue, the most populous states are not on top, meaning smaller southern states have to subsidise the larger but less productive northern states 74031612 Population & DevolutionFC's new tax revenue devolution formula relies a lot on states' population. 74031619 Cash CrunchA big issue affecting the finances of states is revenue crunch. With GST, loan waivers and income support schemes, most states are cashstrapped, forcing them to borrow more. 74031625 A school play landed this town in a legal mess Posted: District Jail, Bidar. When Najbunnisa's daughter came to visit her, the 11-year-old was worried about how her mother was managing in the prison. "She told me not to be tense, to look after my health, to eat well — things I should be telling her," says Najbunnisa. But when it was time to leave, the girl could not bear to be parted from her mother. "She was sobbing. She didn't want to leave. But what could we do? I can't keep her here with me," says the anxious single mother.Najbunnisa has been incarcerated along with Fareeda Begum, the headmistress of Shaheen Urdu Primary School, where the former's daughter studies, in the north Karnataka district bordering Telangana. It is hard for the two middle-aged women — one a struggling widow, the other a mother of two girls and a teacher for close to three decades — to wrap their heads around the fact that they have been accused of sedition, that, too, over a play performed by young students like Najbunnisa's daughter. The charge of the colonial era Section 124 A carries a maximum term of life imprisonment."When the police took us from school, they did not tell us we were being arrested. They said it was for more questioning," says Fareeda Begum. That was on January 30. They have been in jail ever since.The play — performed at the school on January 21 — was about the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). "Part of the National Curriculum Framework is to create awareness about current social subjects. This was just another assignment given to students," says Thouseef Madikeri, CEO of Shaheen Education Foundation. The school in Bidar is one of the 43 it has across nine states and is well-known in the district and outside, particularly for the success of its students in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). The corridors of the school, much of which appears as if it's under construction, have pictures of successful students and display cases with newspaper clippings on its initiatives. "This is a minority institution but 50% of the students are from other communities. Many come from impoverished back backgrounds and we give scholarships of up to 100%" says Madikeri. 74033373 The children, teachers say, were given two days to prepare and they presented a 10-minute sketch for which they themselves wrote the dialogue. In the play, the 11-year-old, who plays an old woman, says she does not have any identification papers and would hit with slippers the person asking for it. (An English translation from Dakhini, a form of Urdu spoken here, says, "The person who was selling tea is now asking for our papers. Where are his papers?") What was meant to be a routine school activity turned into a Kafkaesque nightmare after the play was live-streamed on Facebook by one of the parents, based on which a police complaint of sedition and insulting the prime minister was filed the next day.The complainant, Nilesh Rakshal, told ET Magazine over the phone: "Young schoolchildren were using words against the PM, which I found objectionable. I felt it was against the Constitution that respects the post of PM." The 35-year-old says he filed the complaint as a "citizen and social worker". When asked if he had been a member of the Bajrang Dal (a 2015 court verdict describes him as a district convener of the Dal), he insists that whatever he was in the past, he is not a member of any party now. He adds that he did not mention sedition in his complaint.The police swung into action after Rakshal's complaint, with groups of them reportedly arriving to question the young students and staff repeatedly for five days thereafter. "They kept asking us the same questions 20-25 times, telling us we were teaching the wrong things and made the children re-enact the dialogue. They even asked us, had the prime minister been a Muslim, wouldn't you have prevented this," says one of the teachers, who was interrogated. The first day, in contravention of the Juvenile Justice Act, the policemen reportedly came in uniform, unaccompanied by members of the Child Welfare Committee. Following a furore, the policemen started coming in plain clothes but the administration says they took children to parts of the school that were not in the range of CCTV cameras."They asked me the same questions many times," says the 11-year-old who had allegedly said the controversial line. She refuses a biscuit, saying she has an upset stomach, but otherwise speaks bravely, and says she has been to see her mother twice. Firdaus, the neighbour who had been looking after her, says the little girl has not been eating much. "She hasn't been well, she keeps asking about her mother at home. We looked after her because there was no one else," she says. Najbunnisa had moved to Bidar from the village of Hallikhed just three months ago, for the sake of her daughter's education and the two were getting by with what little money she got from renting out some farmland. 74033377 According to the FIR, the police say the headmistress was present when the play was staged and that they "felt" it was on her instruction. "There is no evidence. They just say they 'felt' this was so," says Keshavarao H Srimale, one of the lawyers who moved the bail application for the two women and filed anticipatory bail for the trustees of Shaheen, who are also mentioned in the FIR. The mother was held because she allegedly told her daughter what to say, a charge Najbunnisa denies. Nagesh DL, SP of Bidar who took charge on February 1 after his predecessor was transferred, earlier told ET that the police had booked the case based on information received and that they had been following the Supreme Court order on filing FIRs.Divided cityIn a sign of the polarisation the case has created in Bidar city, Srimale says about 30 lawyers tried to pass a resolution at the Bar Council, saying no lawyer should represent the two women and the management of Shaheen group because they had insulted the prime minister. The motion was defeated but they then moved a third-party application in support of the complainant, saying they wanted to assist the public prosecutor. "We take such measures only in the rarest cases that go against society. They were talking against the PM and NRC. The teachers should not have taught the students such things," says Anil Kumar Karanji, a lawyer who supported the motion. However, he adds that Shaheen institutions have a good reputation.Activists in the city, which was the capital of the powerful Bahmani sultanate of the Deccan in the 15th century, says sedition was slapped as a reaction to the anti-NRC protests in Bidar. "There was a huge rally of 50,000 people in Bidar on December 23. Sedition charges have been slapped to create panic among protesters and to suppress free speech," says Mubashir Sindhe, cofounder of the Secular Citizens Forum, an umbrella platform of 26 organisations protesting against the CAA.The case has sparked outrage in the city also because of the popularity of the school. "Earlier, if our children wanted to study science or get training for entrance exams, they would have to go to Kalaburagi or Bengaluru. But now, we have Shaheen where students get first-class education," says Swamidan Mudhale, a Dalit rights activist. "This case is just to tarnish their reputation."Activists, family members and the Shaheen school management are now waiting for the bail hearing on February 11. The 11-year-old girl hopes she can finally be reunited with her mother. Exit polls predict easy win for AAP in Delhi Posted: NEW DELHI: Arvind Kejriwal is set to return as Delhi chief minister and his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will virtually sweep the assembly elections, exit polls predicted Saturday.As polling came to a close at 6 pm, with the Election Commission of India (ECI) projecting a voter turnout at 60.24% (as of 9:50 pm), a poll of polls covering 10 exit polls gave 52 seats to AAP, 17 to the Bharatiya Janata Party and one to the Indian National Congress.The polls, which are sample surveys conducted among voters exiting polling booths, signalled that the Delhi voter responded to AAP's campaign that focused on "kaam", or getting work done.Kejriwal, a former civil servant and activist who stormed into electoral politics with an anti-corruption campaign in 2013, led a campaign focusing on the development work his government did in Delhi, especially in education and healthcare, as well as sops such as lower electricity bills and free bus rides for women.The exit polls gave AAP between 47 and 68 seats in the 70-member Assembly.They predicted an absolute rout for Congress, which ruled Delhi for three terms between 1998 and 2013. The maximum seats to AAP were given by India Today TV-Axis exit poll, which predicted 59-68 seats for the party, while giving 2-11 for the BJP and none to the Congress.If these figures hold, the results will come as a disappointment for the BJP, which had hoped its sweep in the Lok Sabha elections in 2019 would reflect in the assembly polls.Delhi's voter turnout saw a sharp fall over the 2015 elections. According to the Election Commission of India, voter turnout till 9 pm was projected at 60.24% — lower than 67.12% in 2015. 74033662 Traditionally, a lower voter turnout is read as a vote for the incumbent.The voter turnout in Delhi has been similar during the Congress regime under Sheila Dikshit, when she won consecutive terms. In 2003, when Delhi voted a second time for the Dikshit government, the voter turnout was 53.42%, and a comparable 57.58% was the turnout in 2008.Later, in two consecutive elections — 2013 and 2015 — voters turned out in big numbers to vote Dikshit out of power. In 2013, 65.63% of Delhi turned out and the percentage increased further to 67.12% in 2015.Across constituencies, Matia Mahal in Central Delhi registered the highest voter turnout of 68.36%, whereas Bawana assembly constituency in North district saw the lowest turnout at 41.95%. Among districts, North East district registered the highest (62.75%) voter turnout, while the lowest turnout was recorded in South East district (54.15%), according to the ECI app. Government appoints DoT's Mahmood Ahmed on MTNL board as director Posted: NEW DELHI: The Central government has appointed Mahmood Ahmed, Deputy Director General of the Licensing Finance Assessment (LFA), Department of Telecom as its nominee director on the board of MTNL, a PSU under the ministry.He has been appointed for a three-year period or till the period of superannuation, an official order said.As part of the revival package announced by the Union Cabinet in October last year, MTNL will be merged with the BSNL. Pending this, MTNL will act as a subsidiary of BSNL. MTNL is listed but has its net worth already eroded. BSNL is unlisted.In November last year, MTNL received DoT approval to be a subsidiary of BSNL by transferring the government's shareholding to it following the Union Cabinet's in-principle approval to their merger earlier. In the next fiscal the merger of BSNL and MTNL will take effect with formal notification after structural changes takes place in MTNL to merge with BSNL. The government holds 56.25 per cent in MTNL. Its share price was up after a long time, 4.55 per cent at Rs 8.05.MTNL currently has a lean structure after the VRS where 14,000 employees took voluntary retirement. It has reported losses in nine of the past 10 years and BSNL too has been ringing in loss since 2010. The total debt on both the companies is Rs 40,000 crore, of which half of the liability is on MTNL alone.The next fiscal Budget provides MTNL financial support of Rs 372 crore on account of minimum alternate tax, refund of CDMA spectrum, payment of interest on MTNL Bonds and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) service. The Central government will infuse Rs 6,295 crore in MTNL for 4G spectrum. Besides, Rs 1,133 crore will be provided to MTNL as grant-in-aid for payment of GST. Samsung plans big comeback with premium smartphones in India Posted: NEW DELHI: Eight years back, Samsung became the leader in the mobile phone industry in India with the roll out of "Galaxy S3" from its Noida facility.Today, as the Indian smartphone market witnessed a modest 8 per cent (Year-on-Year) growth in 2019, the South Korean giant registered declining shipments among the top five brands.The last eight years or so have seen Chinese invasion like never before (Chinese smartphone brands captured 72 per cent of the Indian market in 2019 compared to 60 per cent in 2018), launching devices with top-notch features while taking the average selling point (ASP) further down.A premium player from the very beginning, Samsung faced the heat as smartphones became more affordable with each passing year, and players like Xiaomi and Vivo captured the affordable to mid-premium segments, forcing the company to launch online exclusive M-series in the budget segment and revamping the 'A' series in the mid-segment, which have so far been successful attempts.The company understands that it is best known for the Rs 30,000 and above segment and has begun 2020 by launching 'Lite' devices of its successful premium brands -- along with taking positive strides in the 5G and foldable space."The mobile business aims to improve profits by expanding sales of premium models, such as the enhanced 5G lineup and new foldable devices," the company said while declaring its financial year 2019 and Q4 results on January 30.Samsung expects smartphone revenues to rise on improved product mix with the launch of new flagship models and foldable devices.In India, the company now seems to be back on its premium strategy, with launching 'Lite' version of S10 and Note10 Lite in the range where OnePlus currently rules.According to Navkendar Singh, Research Director, IDC India, considering the size and potential of the Indian market, it is certainly not saturation for the market or any brand like Samsung.The other brands in the market are relatively new entrants while Samsung has been in India for more than two decades now as a lifestyle brand."These brands are able or willing to infuse freshness in their brand in terms of marketing and investments in retail etc," Singh told IANS.Samsung has, in fact, actually started doing well in the online space for the past couple of quarters.Its Galaxy M series, in particular the Galaxy M30s device, performed well in the online segment, helping revive its online share in the fourth quarter of 2019 at an all-time high of 16.6 per cent.However, this happened at the cost of ceding space to brands like Vivo in the offline space."This is interesting since offline has always been Samsung's forte for a ling time," said the IDC executive.For 2020, market competition is forecast to intensify as manufacturers increasingly adopt high-performance components, including application processors (APs), memory and cameras.In response, Samsung plans to differentiate its premium smartphones by expanding 5G adoption and introducing new designs for foldable products."The company is trying hard to get back to growth path. To revive in 2020, it needs to build portfolio across price tiers. Launching the 'Lite' version of its flagship phones S10 and Note 10 is a good step in that direction," said Shilpi Jain, research analyst with Counterpoint Research."Also, it needs to be more aggressive in its marketing strategies across all platforms to fight the competition," she added.Samsung aims to improve earnings by expanding sales of premium smartphones and enhancing the competitiveness of its mid to low-end lineup.Tweaking its portfolio would be a godsend for Samsung to revive its growth path.In India, Samsung needs to go aggressive in the $200 to $500 segment."This segment is expected to see growth from the upgraders this year. Almost all brands are expected to bring in models in this price range and the competition will be very stiff," said Singh. Most steel, cement, infra stocks are value traps: Shankar Sharma Posted: Data shows Nifty and gold have given exactly the same return in last 10 years. And Nifty gives you all the stress when you invest in it. With gold, it is a lock-and-key stress-free return. My question is, why then foreign investors are so obsessed with Indian stocks? Data shows we have got positive flows in last nine out of 10 years, barring one or two.I do not attach any value to foreigners buying India. They are buying many things. Okay, we Indians are wo kuen mein medhak wala humara hota hai. ke humare ka dollar aya hai to hume lagta hai ke duniya mein kahin aur dollar ja hi nahi raha hai (we have a frog-in-the-well approach to it. If there are FII flows to Indian markets, we feel, dollar is not flowing to anywhere else).There is no such thing. They give money to many countries, rightly or wrongly, deserving or undeserving. In India, we have has hardly had any ETF business, which has changed in last 10-15 years. A lot of it is basically ETF money, but you talk to individual FIIs or non-ETF players, but I do not see a single happy face. All of it has come down to buying eight stocks. If you try to make a diversified portfolio with a little bit of risk mitigation, you suddenly go into a very poor return characteristic. So the market is forcing you to just buy ETFs.What should those people do who are invested in those eight or 10 stocks? Should they stay invested?This polarisation of the market is a pretty new phenomenon. It started in 2018, when smallcaps crashed. So a lot of the money basically moved to largecaps and the economic distress of 2017, 2018, 2019 has been terrible. So polarisation of the money moving from smallcaps to largecaps has kept on increasing. Those are still okay, but not great. I am not a votary of buying an Asian Paints at 70-80 PE, or whatever it is. It is a great company, but the strange thing is, India has many unique things. One is, if you look at valuation and you buy based on valuation, you have to turn it upside down. This means you short low PE stocks and you buy the high PE ones. I mean this trade has worked for 25 years. So if you short ONGC and you buy an Asian Paints, by and large you would probably never go wrong. Foreigners come here and buy their ONGCs, but they never buy Asian Paints. Then they keep crying. But India is unique in the sense that the premium for quality and governance in a country which has no governance -- from the government downward to corporate India -- a handful of companies which have survived and which do not have great governance – the market just says 'hey, I do not care about what PE you are trading at. As long as you are not likely to go bust suddenly, you will have an accounting hole. Something like what happened in Delhi in some power companies, the erstwhile Thapar Group. Then suddenly you have more debt than what was declared. These kind of things I am not going to get when I buy a certain kind of companies. Hence leave the PE aside, forget about it. It is an outdated outmode, at least in India. It does not work anymore. I am not saying that is right, but I am not the one to say that is wrong either. A market men say let us revisit cyclicals, revisit industrials when the economy comes back. Steel, cement, infrastructure…will these stocks come back?I find the whole debate around structural versus cyclical – from what you pick up on Twitter and elsewhere -- a total nonsense. Cyclicals do not last five years.We are in a cyclical slowdownI think the economy started slowing down even prior to demonetisation, which happened in late 2016. It was already on a downtrend. So are you telling me we are in a slowdown since 2015, and now you are in 2020. Five years? What kind of nonsense is this? This is a structural problem. This large-scale decimation of job earners, of corporate India, of MSMEs is not coming back. So we will play, at least I will play, it realistically. I am not going to live in a fool's paradise and say that suddenly all those dead companies are going to come back. By the way, even at the peak of the infrastructure boom -- and we were the only firm to call that this nonsense cannot go on any more -- people used to say in 2007, 2008, 2009 if India has to grow, infrastructure has to grow. You remember that one of those things?We have argued that with..I am sorry, India has to grow, but whosoever told you that infrastructure has to grow, now we have grown 5-6% compounded, has infra grown? It has not grown. These kind of theory suddenly comes out in the market. So I do not subscribe to that view that industrials are coming back anytime soon.Government support, liquidity… You bust as a consumer, you bust as a company, you bust as a government. How do you come out? Paisa chahiye na, paisa hi chahiye na, baat se toh nahi ho sakta na, boss. My good intentions cannot revive my company, unless I find some way to make money. We all know, every housewife knows that. So why are we suddenly hoping that the industrial economy will suddenly zoom up with not even a rupee of stimulus being given directly in the Budget. The corporate tax cut is not a stimulus for capex. It is a stimulus for a handful of banks and a handful of FMCG companies, none of which are interested in capex anyway. So this is a hope trade I'd not understand if you apply your mind to it from where will industrial revival happen unless you inject large amounts of money.So what is the future for steel, cement, infra names? They have underperformed. Do you think they will continue to underperform? Okay metals are a global commodity, but India-centric businesses, cement, EPC, road companies, infrastructure companies have destroyed wealth. Do you think this trend will continue? They will continue to act as what is called value traps?They are value traps, and again there will be an odd one here or there. But I do not think one should start thinking about these stocks just yet. For me, the Budget was important only from one perspective: that it told me what the government's thinking is. The government's thinking is, figure it out that I am not there to write out big cheques for you guys. Apna raasta nikalo boss, jo bhi nikalna hai. Why should I go and spend time buying deadbeat companies when there is enough money to be made buying safety.

Today Crunch News, News Updates, Tech News Posted: 08 Feb 2020 04:49 PM PST Today Crunch News, News Updates, Tech News Startups Weekly: Asana numbers likely to be what the market wants ‘A city where you can pilot almost anything and figure out if it’s going to work’ Why your next TV needs ‘filmmaker mode’ California’s new privacy law is off to a rocky start This Week in Apps: Chinese giants take on Google Play, Iowa caucus disaster, TikTok’s power over App Store charts Facebook has acquired Scape Technologies, the London-based computer vision startup Uber claims top spot in Indian ride-hailing market Facebook’s Twitter account compromised, hacker group claims credit Startups Weekly: Asana numbers likely to be what the market wants Posted: 08 Feb 2020 11:00 AM PST [Editor’s note: Want to get this weekly review of news that startups can use? Just subscribe here.]  Asana may get more attention than the average SaaS company due to the Facebook pedigrees and outspoken views of its founders, but in practice it’s a low-profile, cash-efficient machine. Today, the productivity toolmaker does not need to raise cash via a traditional IPO, as we explored this week following its filing for a direct listing, even though it hasn’t raised that much money compared to other unicorns. Alex Wilhelm dug into public numbers on Extra Crunch to make an educated guess about its pricing prospects: Let's presume that Asana crossed the $100 million ARR mark as 2018 came to a close. And, for the sake of discussion, that its eight quarters of revenue growth acceleration left the company with a 60% expansion rate. Then, Asana would have closed up 2019 with $160 million in ARR. (You can easily change up the numbers by tweaking when the company reached the nine-figure ARR mark and its ensuing growth rate.). … Asana is likely worth more than its final private valuation of $1.5 billion. Presuming it can get a bog-standard 12x multiple on its ARR, the company would be worth $1.8 billion. If it can do better, or is larger than that, the value of the firm quickly rises. Unlike Casper’s struggles, and One Medical’s somewhat surprising consumery pop, Asana is a straightforward bet for a good public performance based on traditional SaaS metrics. Stay tuned for more next week. VCs are still pouring money into open source In this week’s investor survey, Arman Tabatabai talked to 18 of the most active and successful investors in open-source and devops software about the latest trends. The money going into the sector has grown by 10% CAGR over the last five years, and nobody he talked to plans to slow down — in fact, many said the market was under-heated, or just halfway there. Why? Every company is trying to become more of a software company, developers now get to make more adoption and purchasing decisions, and there are countless software problems yet to solve. The investors in Part 1 of the survey on Extra Crunch: Vas Natarajan, Accel Stephanie Zhan, Sequoia Capital Tomasz Tunguz, Redpoint Ventures Deepak Jeevankumar, Dell Technologies Capital Anna Khan, CRV Peter Levine, Andreessen Horowitz Ilya Kirnos, SignalFire S. Somasegar, Madrona Venture Group The investors in Part 2: Gaurav Gupta, Lightspeed Venture Partners Julia Schottenstein, New Enterprise Associates (NEA) Peter Sonsini, New Enterprise Associates (NEA) Salil Deshpande, Uncorrelated Ventures Ethan Kurzweil, Bessemer Venture Partners Sakib Dadi, Bessemer Venture Partners Jenny Gao, Bessemer Venture Partners Mike Droesch, Bessemer Venture Partners Lonne Jaffe, Insight Partners Jai Das, Sapphire Ventures The latest startup funds are even more meta It seems like everyone wants to invest in tech startups these days, including any large company or government body — and even tech startups. In the latest news on this long-running trend, cap table management unicorn Carta is starting its own fund to invest in companies. Given its in-house data and broad relationships in the industry, this seems like great positioning for some hot deals (as long as the clients on the platform don’t mind, of course). Meanwhile, a couple of successful, currently active founders will also be ramping up their seed investments. Superhuman founder and CEO Rahul Vohra and Eventjoy founder Todd Goldberg are teaming up to create “The Todd & Rahul Angel Fund” which will put $7 million from an LP base of other founders and operators to work. The dollars involved may be small, but the signaling is likely to be very high. Organized (tech) labor Silicon Valley investors and founders have avoided unions for decades by giving employees a cut of the ownership directly. But is this arrangement changing? The rise of gig work, the questions about high valuations and future stock prices, the grind of life at many unicorn startups, and general concern about tech culture and ethics have combined to make some workers look harder at unions, as Megan Rose Dickey covered this week in an ongoing series. Other workers, meanwhile, are striking out to form tech coops that share ownership from the start. She talked to a couple folks on this front as well, including one coop that is helping ride-share drivers to make more money.

More posts by this contributor The tech of giving back: an interview with Salesforce’s Chief Philanthropy Officer Omidyar Network CEO opens up about VC-influenced philanthropy As founding executive director of Tech:NYC, Julie Samuels is one of the state’s most prominent advocates for the tech sector, both in Albany and at City Hall. Samuels, a lawyer by training, came to New York after serving as executive director of Engine, a San Francisco organization on which Tech:NYC is modeled. In an interview with TechCrunch, Samuels spoke about several issues, including her rationale for why, despite the controversy over Amazon's decision not to build its second headquarters in Queens, the area is well-positioned for the next wave of tech innovation. TechCrunch: What is the need for organizations like Tech:NYC and Engine? Julie Samuels: As the tech industry matures, it is incredibly important that there are organizations [that] represent these companies politically, civically, making sure they have a seat at the table with so many public policy debates. There is no shortage of public policy debates surrounding technology. It is also incredibly important that there are organizations who are talking from the viewpoint of smaller companies and startups. There are a lot of organizations that represent the biggest and most well-known companies, including Tech:NYC. But [we] also have hundreds of members who are small and growing startups. We think that diversity of the ecosystem is what really sets the technology sector apart and it is something we want to foster and celebrate. Who are your members, then? Why your next TV needs ‘filmmaker mode’ Posted: 08 Feb 2020 09:02 AM PST TVs this year will ship with a new feature called “filmmaker mode,” but unlike the last dozen things the display industry has tried to foist on consumers, this one actually matters. It doesn’t magically turn your living room into a movie theater, but it’s an important step in that direction. This new setting arose out of concerns among filmmakers (hence the name) that users were getting a sub-par viewing experience of the media that creators had so painstakingly composed. The average TV these days is actually quite a quality piece of kit compared to a few years back. But few ever leave their default settings. This was beginning to be a problem, explained LG’s director of special projects, Neil Robinson, who helped define the filmmaker mode specification and execute it on the company’s displays. “When people take TVs out of the box, they play with the settings for maybe five minutes, if you’re lucky,” he said. “So filmmakers wanted a way to drive awareness that you should have the settings configured in this particular way.” In the past they’ve taken to social media and other platforms to mention this sort of thing, but it’s hard to say how effective a call to action is, even when it’s Tom Cruise and Chris McQuarrie begging you: I'm taking a quick break from filming to tell you the best way to watch Mission: Impossible Fallout (or any movie you love) at home. pic.twitter.com/oW2eTm1IUA — Tom Cruise (@TomCruise) December 4, 2018 While very few people really need to tweak the gamma or adjust individual color levels, there are a couple settings that are absolutely crucial for a film or show to look the way it’s intended. The most important are ones that fit under the general term “motion processing.” These settings have a variety of fancy-sounding names, like “game mode,” “motion smoothing,” “truemotion,” and such like, and they are on by default on many TVs. What they do differs from model to model, but it amounts to taking content at, say, 24 frames per second, and converting it to content at, say, 120 frames per second. Generally this means inventing the images that come between the 24 actual frames — so if a person’s hand is at point A in one frame of a movie and point C in the next, motion processing will create a point B to go in between — or B, X, Y, Z, and dozens more if necessary. This is bad for several reasons: First, it produces a smoothness of motion that lies somewhere between real life and film, giving an uncanny look to motion-processed imagery that people often say reminds them of bad daytime TV shot on video — which is why people call it the “soap opera effect.” Second, some of these algorithms are better than others, and some media is more compatible than the rest (sports broadcasts, for instance). While at best they produce the soap opera effect, at worst they can produce weird visual artifacts that can distract even the least sensitive viewer. And third, it’s an aesthetic affront to the creators of the content, who usually crafted it very deliberately, choosing this shot, this frame rate, this shutter speed, this take, this movement, and so on with purpose and a careful eye. It’s one thing if your TV has the colors a little too warm or the shadows overbright — quite another to create new frames entirely with dubious effect. So filmmakers, and in particular cinematographers, whose work crafting the look of the movie is most affected by these settings, began petitioning TV companies to either turn motion processing off by default or create some kind of easily accessible method for users to disable it themselves. Ironically, the option already existed on some displays. “Many manufacturers already had something like this,” said Robinson. But with different names, different locations within the settings, and different exact effects, no user could really be sure what these various modes actually did. LG’s was “Technicolor Expert Mode.” Does that sound like something the average consumer would be inclined to turn on? I like messing with settings, and I’d probably keep away from it. So the movement was more about standardization than reinvention. With a single name, icon, and prominent placement instead of being buried in a sub-menu somewhere, this is something people may actually see and use. Not that there was no back-and-forth on the specification itself. For one thing, filmmaker mode also lowers the peak brightness of the TV to a relatively dark 100 nits — at a time when high brightness, daylight visibility, and contrast ratio are specs manufacturers want to show off. The reason for this is, very simply, to make people turn off the lights. There’s very little anyone in the production of a movie can do to control your living room setup or how you actually watch the film. But restricting your TV to certain levels of brightness does have the effect of making people want to dim the lights and sit right in front. Do you want to watch movies in broad daylight, with the shadows pumped up so bright they look grey? Feel free, but don’t imagine that’s what the creators consider ideal conditions. Photo: Chris Ryan / Getty Images “As long as you view in a room that’s not overly bright, I’d say you’re getting very close to what the filmmakers saw in grading,” said Robinson. Filmmaker mode’s color controls are a rather loose, he noted, but you’ll get the correct aspect ratio, white balance, no motion processing, and generally no weird surprises from not delving deep enough in the settings. The full list of changes can be summarized as follows: Maintain source frame rate and aspect ratio (no stretched or sped up imagery) Motion processing off (no smoothing) Peak brightness reduced (keeps shadows dark — this may change with HDR content) Sharpening and noise reduction off (standard items with dubious benefit) Other “image enhancements” off (non-standard items with dubious benefit) White point at D65/6500K (prevents colors from looking too warm or cool) All this, however, relies on people being aware of the mode and choosing to switch to it. Exactly how that will work depends on several factors. The ideal option is probably a filmmaker mode button right on the clicker, which is at least theoretically the plan. The alternative is a content specification — as opposed to a display one — that allows TVs to automatically enter filmmaker mode when a piece of media requests it to. But this requires content providers to take advantage of the APIs that make the automatic switching possible, so don’t count on it. And of course this has its own difficulties, including privacy concerns — do you really want your shows to tell your devices what to do and when? So a middle road where the TV prompts the user to “Show this content in filmmaker mode? Yes/No” and automatic fallback to the previous settings afterwards might be the best option. There are other improvements that can be pursued to make home viewing more like the theater, but as Robinson pointed out, there are simply fundamental differences between LCD and OLED displays and the projectors used in theaters — and even then there are major differences between projectors. But that’s a whole other story. At the very least, the mode as planned represents a wedge that content purists (it has a whiff of derogation but they may embrace the term) can widen over time. Getting the average user to turn off motion processing is the first and perhaps most important step — everything after that is incremental improvement. So which TVs will have filmmaker mode? It’s unclear. LG, Vizio, and Panasonic have all committed to bringing models out with the feature, and it’s even possible it could be added to older models with a software update (but don’t count on it). Sony is a holdout for now. No one is sure exactly which models will have filmmaker mode available, so just cast an eye over the spec list of you’re thinking of getting and, if you’ll take my advice, don’t buy a TV without it. California’s new privacy law is off to a rocky start Posted: 08 Feb 2020 09:00 AM PST California’s new privacy law was years in the making. The law, California’s Consumer Privacy Act — or CCPA — became law on January 1, allowing state residents to reclaim their right to access and control their personal data. Inspired by Europe’s GDPR, the CCPA is the largest statewide privacy law change in a generation. The new law lets users request a copy of the data that tech companies have on them, delete the data when they no longer want a company to have it, and demand that their data isn’t sold to third parties. All of this is much to the chagrin of the tech giants, some of which had spent millions to comply with the law and have many more millions set aside to deal with the anticipated influx of consumer data access requests. But to say things are going well is a stretch. Many of the tech giants that kicked and screamed in resistance to the new law have acquiesced and accepted their fate — at least until something different comes along. The California tech scene had more than a year to prepare, but some have made it downright difficult and — ironically — more invasive in some cases for users to exercise their rights, largely because every company has a different interpretation of what compliance should look like. Alex Davis is just one California resident who tried to use his new rights under the law to make a request to delete his data. He vented his annoyance on Twitter, saying companies have responded to CCPA by making requests “as confusing and difficult as possible in new and worse ways.” “I’ve never seen such deliberate attempts to confuse with design,” he told TechCrunch. He referred to what he described as “dark patterns,” a type of user interface design that tries to trick users into making certain choices, often against their best interests. “I tried to make a deletion request but it bogged me down with menus that kept redirecting… things to be turned on and off,” he said. Despite his frustration, Davis got further than others. Just as some companies have made it easy for users to opt-out of having their data sold by adding the legally required “Do not sell my info” links on their websites, many have not. Some have made it near-impossible to find these “data portals,” which companies set up so users can request a copy of their data or delete it altogether. For now, California companies are still in a grace period — but have until July when the CCPA’s enforcement provisions kick in. Until then, users are finding ways around it — by collating and sharing links to data portals to help others access their data. “We really see a mixed story on the level of CCPA response right now,” said Jay Cline, who heads up consulting giant PwC’s data privacy practice, describing it as a patchwork of compliance. PwC’s own data found that only 40% of the largest 600 U.S. companies had a data portal. Only a fraction, Cline said, extended their portals to users outside of California, even though other states are gearing up to push similar laws to the CCPA. But not all data portals are created equally. Given how much data companies store on us — personal or otherwise — the risks of getting things wrong are greater than ever. Tech companies are still struggling to figure out the best way to verify each data request to access or delete a user’s data without inadvertently giving it away to the wrong person. Last year, security researcher James Pavur impersonated his fiancee and tricked tech companies into turning over vast amounts of data about her, including credit card information, account logins and passwords and, in one case, a criminal background check. Only a few of the companies asked for verification. Two years ago, Akita founder Jean Yang described someone hacking into her Spotify account and requesting her account data as an “unfortunate consequence” of GDPR, which mandated companies operating on the continent allow users access to their data. (Image: Twitter/@jeanqasaur) The CCPA says companies should verify a person’s identity to a “reasonable degree of certainty.” For some that’s just an email address to send the data. Others require sending in even more sensitive information just to prove it’s them. Indeed, i360, a little-known advertising and data company, until recently asked California residents for a person’s full Social Security number. This recently changed to just the last four-digits. Verizon (which owns TechCrunch) wants its customers and users to upload their driver’s license or state ID to verify their identity. Comcast asks for the same, but goes the extra step by asking for a selfie before it will turn over any of a customer’s data. Comcast asks for the same amount of information to verify a data request as the controversial facial recognition startup, Clearview AI, which recently made headlines for creating a surveillance system made up of billions of images scraped from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to help law enforcement trace a person’s movements. As much as CCPA has caused difficulties, it has helped forge an entirely new class of compliance startups ready to help large and small companies alike handle the regulatory burdens to which they are subject. Several startups in the space are taking advantage of the $55 billion expected to be spent on CCPA compliance in the next year — like Segment, which gives customers a consolidated view of the data they store; Osano which helps companies comply with CCPA; and Securiti, which just raised $50 million to help expand its CCPA offering. With CCPA and GDPR under their belts, their services are designed to scale to accommodate new state or federal laws as they come in. Another startup, Mine, which lets users “take ownership” of their data by acting as a broker to allow users to easily make requests under CCPA and GDPR, had a somewhat bumpy debut. The service asks users to grant them access to a user’s inbox, scanning for email subject lines that contain company names and using that data to determine which companies a user can request their data from or have their data deleted. (The service requests access to a user’s Gmail but the company claims it will “never read” users’ emails.) Last month during a publicity push, Mine inadvertently copied a couple of emailed data requests to TechCrunch, allowing us to see the names and email addresses of two requesters who wanted Crunch, a popular gym chain with a similar name, to delete their data. (Screenshot: Zack Whittaker/TechCrunch) TechCrunch alerted Mine — and the two requesters — to the security lapse. “This was a mix-up on our part where the engine that finds companies’ data protection offices’ addresses identified the wrong email address,” said Gal Ringel, co-founder and chief executive at Mine. “This issue was not reported during our testing phase and we’ve immediately fixed it.” For now, many startups have caught a break. The smaller, early-stage startups that don’t yet make $25 million in annual revenue or store the personal data on more than 50,000 users or devices will largely escape having to immediately comply with CCPA. But it doesn’t mean startups can be complacent. As early-stage companies grow, so will their legal responsibilities. “For those who did launch these portals and offer rights to all Americans, they are in the best position to be ready for these additional states,” said Cline. “Smaller companies in some ways have an advantage for compliance if their products or services are commodities, because they can build in these controls right from the beginning,” he said. CCPA may have gotten off to a bumpy start, but time will tell if things get easier. Just this week, California’s attorney general Xavier Becerra released newly updated guidance aimed at trying to “fine tune” the rules, per his spokesperson. It goes to show that even California’s lawmakers are still trying to get the balance right. But with the looming threat of hefty fines just months away, time is running out for the non-compliant. Here’s where California residents can stop companies selling their data This Week in Apps: Chinese giants take on Google Play, Iowa caucus disaster, TikTok’s power over App Store charts Posted: 08 Feb 2020 08:25 AM PST Welcome back to This Week in Apps, the Extra Crunch series that recaps the latest OS news, the applications they support and the money that flows through it all. The app industry is as hot as ever with a record 204 billion downloads in 2019 and $120 billion in consumer spending in 2019, according to App Annie's recently released "State of Mobile" annual report. People are now spending 3 hours and 40 minutes per day using apps, rivaling TV. Apps aren't just a way to pass idle hours — they're a big business. In 2019, mobile-first companies had a combined $544 billion valuation, 6.5x higher than those without a mobile focus. In this Extra Crunch series, we help you keep up with the latest news from the world of apps, delivered on a weekly basis. This week, we look at the app making headlines for causing a disaster in Iowa, TikTok’s power to move apps up the charts, all the news from Apple’s new betas, the plan from Chinese mobile giants to take on Google Play, subscription scams, plus app trends and other news. Headlines Iowa’s caucus app was a disaster A smartphone app really screwed things up in Iowa. The app, built by Shadow Inc., was designed to help the Iowa Democratic Party tabulate votes from the caucuses. But instead of helping, the app failed, causing a massive delay of almost an entire day. According to The New York Times, the app was quickly put together in just the past two months — and wasn’t properly tested. Facebook has acquired Scape Technologies, the London-based computer vision startup Posted: 08 Feb 2020 02:30 AM PST Scape Technologies, the London-based computer vision startup working on location accuracy beyond the capabilities of GPS, has been acquired by Facebook, according to a regulatory filing. Full terms of the deal remain as yet unknown, although a Companies House update reveals that Facebook Inc. now has majority control of the company (more than 75%). However by looking at other filings, including a recent share issue, I understand the price could be about $40 million. Further filings show that Scape’s previous venture capital representatives have resigned from the Scape board and are replaced by two Facebook executives. Scape’s backers included Entrepreneur First (EF) — the startup is an alumni of the company builder program — along with LocalGlobe, Mosaic Ventures, and Fly Ventures. Noteworthy is that EF and Fly Ventures have both already had a joint exit to Facebook of sorts, when Bloomsbury AI was acqui-hired by the social networking behemoth (a story that I also broke). Founded in 2017, Scape Technologies was developing a "Visual Positioning Service" based on computer vision which lets developers build apps that require location accuracy far beyond the capabilities of GPS alone. The technology initially targeted augmented reality apps, but also had the potential to be used to power applications in mobility, logistics and robotics. More broadly, Scape wanted to enable any machine equipped with a camera to understand its surroundings. Scape CEO and co-founder Edward Miller previously described Scape's "Vision Engine" as a large-scale mapping pipeline that creates 3D maps from ordinary images and video. Camera devices can then query the Vision Engine using the startup's “Visual Positioning Service” API to determine their exact location with far greater precision than GPS can ever provide. The Visual Positioning Service was made available to select developers via Scape's SDK. Meanwhile the acquisition by Facebook, no matter what form it takes, looks like a good fit given the U.S. company’s investment in next generation platforms, including VR and AR. It is also another — perhaps, worrying — example of U.S. tech companies hoovering up U.K. machine learning and AI talent early. Update: A Facebook spokesperson provided the following statement: "We acquire smaller tech companies from time to time. We don't always discuss our plans." Uber claims top spot in Indian ride-hailing market Posted: 08 Feb 2020 02:17 AM PST Uber facilitated 14 million rides a week in India last year, the American ride-hailing firm said as it claimed the tentpole position in the key overseas market. In a report (PDF) published on the sidelines of its quarterly earnings Thursday afternoon, Uber said that it commanded over 50% of the ride-hailing market in India — among some other regions — and was the category leader. The publicly listed company cited its internal estimations for the claim, it said. In comparison, Uber handled 11 million rides a week in India in 2018, a spokesperson told TechCrunch. Slide from Uber’s report The revelation is especially interesting, since both Uber and its chief local rival Ola have tended to avoid talks about the number of rides they serve in India. In a 2018 blog post, Ola revealed that its platform "moves over two million people every day." A spokesperson for the Indian startup, which like Uber counts SoftBank as an investor, declined to reveal the new figures, but issued a statement in which it identified itself as India's "largest mobility platform." "As India’s largest mobility platform, Ola serves over 200 million customers through a network of 2.5 million driver-partners across a wide range of offerings including two, three and four-wheelers," the spokesperson said, adding that the ride-hailing firm operates in 250 cities and towns in India. Last month, Uber sold its food delivery Uber Eats' India business to local rival Zomato for about $180 million in a move that some analysts said could help the ride-hailing firm better focus on its core business in the country. An Uber spokesperson told TechCrunch that the company plans to expand from about 50 Indian cities where it currently operates to 200 in the country by the end of the year. It will focus on onboarding two-wheelers and three-wheelers in many of these cities, the firm said. Uber’s expansion in India comes as Ola is entering one of the American firm’s key territories. Last week, Ola said it will begin operation in London on February 10.   Facebook’s Twitter account compromised, hacker group claims credit Posted: 07 Feb 2020 04:35 PM PST There’s this brilliant feeling on Fridays if you’re a reporter when you think that all the things you have to write about are complete. You kickstart some work for Monday. Maybe you tighten up a to-do list. Hell, you might even read some email. But then on Fridays like today, something eye-catching happens and the Great Content Gods demand written sacrifice and here we are. Facebook’s Twitter main page and Messenger were temporarily vandalized by a person or persons claiming to be from the OurMine hacker collective. The action, and the group, should sound slightly familiar as it hacked a bunch of sports-related Twitter accounts just this January. Trawling the TechCrunch archives turns up the OurMine name more times than I reckoned it would. For example, OurMine also hacked the Twitter account of Niantic’s CEO back in 2016. Later that year, OurMind also hacked several media-related Twitter accounts. Hell, OurMine actually hacked TC once — a fact that this episode brought to my attention. TechCrunch has reached out to Facebook for comment on the compromise. We’re not expecting to hear back anything of substance but, if we do, we’ll update this post. Twitter provided public comment regarding the hack, saying that it “locked the compromised accounts and are working closely with our partners at Facebook to restore them” when it noticed the matter. What was posted? The following, per a screenshot taken by TechCrunch’s security sage Zack Whittaker: lol, what is this, 2016? pic.twitter.com/G59Z5gnZfp — Zack Whittaker (@zackwhittaker) February 7, 2020 As you can see from the screenshot, the tweet appears to have been posted via Khoros. Khoros, in case you also didn’t know, sells software to help companies use social media to interact with customers and users. So, perhaps the Folks With Time On Their Hands got in that way. Either way it was taken down quickly. (Khoros is based in Austin and has raised no known venture capital, per Crunchbase.) And with that, Friday really is a go.
