As Big Tech Profit Growth Slows, Investors Hunt for a New Thing
Yakuza family speaks out against rise in organized 'yamibaito'crimeNEW YORK (AP) — The leaders of Kamala Harris' presidential campaign insist they simply didn't have enough time to execute a winning strategy against Donald Trump , pointing to “ferocious" political headwinds that were ultimately too much to overcome in the 107-day period after President Joe Biden stepped aside . Harris' leadership team, speaking on the “Pod Save America” podcast that aired on Tuesday, defended strategic decisions over the campaign's closing days, some of which have faced scrutiny in the weeks since Trump's decisive victory . Specifically, they defended Harris' outreach to Republican voters, her unwillingness to distance herself from Biden, her silence on Trump's attacks on her transgender policies and her inability to schedule an interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan. “In a 107-day race, it is very difficult to do all the things you would normally do in a year and a half, two years,” said Harris campaign senior adviser Jen O'Malley Dillon. David Plouffe, another senior adviser, added, “There was a price to be paid for the short campaign." The pointed reflections on Harris' loss came just before she declared she was “proud of the campaign we ran” during a conference call with supporters as the party begins a painful process of self-examination. Trump won every swing state and made gains among key voting groups traditionally aligned with Democrats — young voters and voters of color, among them. Backed by the resounding win, the Republican president-elect is claiming a mandate to enact his populist agenda as he prepares to return to the White House on Jan. 20. Harris acknowledged her defeat during the conference call, but praised the political organization her team built that featured more than 408,000 volunteers who knocked on nearly 20 million doors and made over 219 million phone calls. “What we did in 107 days was unprecedented,” she said, noting that her campaign also raised more than $1.4 billion, which marks a record for U.S. presidential campaigns. Still, Harris' campaign finished the election in debt . And none of the Harris advisers acknowledged any mistakes during the wide-ranging podcast interview hosted by former Democratic operatives. Instead, they indicated that Harris had few options given the compressed timeframe and the broad anti-incumbent headwinds that have challenged elected officials across the world. They also gave Trump's team some credit. They specifically pointed to Trump's closing attack ad, which highlighted Harris' support for taxpayer-funded sex reassignment surgeries for transgender prisoners. “Obviously, it was a very effective ad at the end,” said Harris deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks. “I think that it made her seem out of touch.” The campaign tested several potential response ads but, in the end, decided it was best to avoid a specific rebuttal. “There’s no easy answers to this,” O'Malley Dillon said. Plouffe said he thought the Trump attack ad against “Bidenomics” was even more effective, but he acknowledged that the transgender attacks were not helpful. “She was on tape," he said. "Surgery for trans people who want to transition in prison was part of the Biden-Harris platform in 2020. It was part of what the administration did, right?” And while the campaign has faced lingering questions about its media strategy, Harris' team said she actually wanted to participate in a podcast with Rogan, who is among the world's most popular podcasters and ultimately endorsed Trump. Stephanie Cutter, another Harris senior adviser, said the campaign wasn't able to “find a date” to make it work. “We had discussions with Joe Rogan’s team. They were great. They wanted us to come on. We wanted to come on,” she said. “Will she do it sometime in the future? Maybe. Who knows. But it didn’t ultimately impact the outcome one way or the other.” Plouffe noted that the campaign offered to do the Rogan podcast on the road in Austin, Texas. Trump ultimately did his interview with Rogan in the podcaster's studio. Harris' campaign brass also defended her decision to court moderate Republicans in the campaign's closing days. The decision has drawn ire from some progressives, who believe Harris should have worked harder to turn out more traditional Democratic voters. “This political environment sucked, OK? We were dealing with ferocious headwinds,” Plouffe said. “So we had a complicated puzzle to put together here in terms of the voters.” He acknowledged some “drift” toward Trump among non-college-educated voters, particularly voters of color, which made Harris' outreach to moderate voters even more important. “Yes, of course, you have to maximize your turnout and your vote share amongst liberal voters if you’re a Democrat. That was a huge focus,” he said. He added, “You’ve got to couple that with dominating in the middle. Not just winning it a little. We have to dominate the moderate vote." Speaking on Tuesday's conference call, Harris' running mate Tim Walz described the election result as “incredibly disappointing” and “a bit scary." But he praised the campaign's effort. “There will be a day of reckoning when it will be asked, ‘What did you do during the 2024 campaign?’ Well, I know the people on this call can say, everything they possibly could,” Walz said. “And for that, as an American, I’m incredibly grateful.” ___ Steve Peoples, The Associated PressNobel laureates urge strong AI regulation

New Delhi : While India has proved its prowess in precision landing with Chandrayaan-3, the impending SpaDeX mission will achieve a historic space docking feat, said Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology Dr Jitendra Singh on Saturday, December 28. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) aims to launch the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) mission, aboard the PSLV-C60 rocket, at 21:58 IST from Sriharikota on December 30. The mission aims to dock two satellites in space, a challenge only mastered by the US, Russia, and China, so far. “ISRO’s year-end mission is going to be a historic one as it will seek the rare feat of docking or merging or joining together two satellites in space,” Singh said, adding that “the indigenous technology used for this mission is called the ‘Bharatiya Docking System’”. “SpaDEX will mark a milestone, showcasing India’s expertise in spacecraft docking technology,” Singh noted. The success of this mission is vital for India’s future space ambitions. Docking technology will help upcoming missions like Chandrayaan-4 and the planned Indian space station, expected to be ready by 2035. It is also crucial for the eventual manned Gaganyaan mission, expected to launch in 2026. With SpaDeX, “ISRO will attempt to dock two satellites orbiting at speeds of 28,800 km/h”. And both satellites must be carefully manoeuvred to reduce their relative velocities to a mere 0.036 km/h”. The two satellites, SDX01 or Chaser and SDX02 or Target, will merge to form a single unit in space. Each satellite weighs around 220 kilograms and will orbit 470 km above Earth. The mission aims to include performing precision rendezvous and docking manoeuvres, validating power transfer between docked spacecraft, and operating payloads post-undocking, with a two-year lifespan. SpaDEX will also use PSLV’s fourth stage, POEM-4, for experiments. The stage will carry 24 payloads from academic institutions and startups. These experiments will utilise the microgravity environment in orbit.Hims & Hers Health, Inc. ( NYSE:HIMS – Get Free Report )’s share price was up 3.6% during mid-day trading on Thursday .

Amazon ( AMZN 3.18% ) stock is gaining ground in Tuesday's trading. The company's share price was up 2.7% as of 3 p.m. ET. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index was up 0.4%, and the Nasdaq Composite index was up 0.5% Amazon is climbing today thanks to bullish coverage on the stock published by Redburn Atlantic. The firm maintained a buy rating on Amazon and raised its one-year price target on the stock from $225 per share to $235 per share. As of this writing, the new price target suggests additional potential upside of roughly 14%. Redburn believes AI will power more wins for AWS Redburn's analysts cited Amazon's strong market positioning and competitive moats as reasons for raising their price target on the stock. The tech giant has the benefit of an encompassing artificial intelligence ( AI ) ecosystem. Amazon Web Services (AWS) continues to lead the cloud-infrastructure market and is a go-to destination for building, deploying, and scaling AI applications. Redburn's analysts believe that Amazon's strong networking foundations and emerging AI accelerators will continue to drive wins for AWS. What's next for Amazon in AI? While e-commerce accounts for the majority of Amazon's revenue, AWS actually accounts for most of the company's profits. With AI driving demand for the company's cloud infrastructure services, AWS looks poised to contribute a larger share of the company's overall revenue. In turn, the tech giant's profit margins should continue rising over the long term. But while AI will have the biggest impact on the cloud business in the near term, it could have a transformative impact on the e-commerce business over the long term. Online retail remains a relatively low-margin business due to high shipping and warehousing costs, but advancements in AI and robotics could lead to automation advancements and significantly lower operating costs. If so, Amazon's profits are set to soar over the long term.

What is significant is that on Saturday local BJP MLA Suresh Dhas joined opposition leaders in leading a massive procession in Beed demanding justice for the Deshmukh family and the resignation of minister Dhananjay Munde, who is close to one of the accused, Valmik Karad. Deshmukh was allegedly murdered because he opposed the extortion efforts of Valmik Karad, who is reportedly close to Dananjay Munde, NCP leader and minister for food and civil supplies in the Fadnavis cabinet. Karad, who is absconding, allegedly tried to extort Rs 2 cr from a windmill company and this was opposed by Deshmukh. The windmill company Avaada Energy has already filed an FIR for alleged extortion by one Vishnu Chate at the instance of Karad. Vishnu Chate is also one of the accused in the murder case. The Beed police have arrested four persons so far and are on the lookout for three others, including Karad. The controversy took a new twist on Saturday with social activist claiming that she received a call from an unknown person who said the bodies of the three absconding persons have been found in the Karnataka border. She has handed over the audio clip to the Beed police. She has also started a dharna in front the Beed collector's office demanding the immediate arrest of Karad and the resignation of Munde, who recently had an hour-long meeting with Fadnavis. The failure of the police to trace Karad even 19 days after the kidnap and murder is causing considerable embarrassment to Fadnavis. NCP (Sharad Pawar) leader Jitendra Awhad and other opposition leaders have alleged that Karad is being shielded because of his proximity to Munde. The incident has taken a casteist turn since Deshmukh is a Maratha and some of the accused persons belong to the Vanjari community, which is in the OBC category. Maratha leader Jarande Patil and others, including Sharad Pawar, have already called on the Deshmukh family. Deputy CM and NCP leader Ajit Pawar has expelled Karad from his party in a bid to distance his organisation from the brutal murder. Deshmukh was kidnapped in a Scorpio and as many as 60 injuries were inflicted on him before being dumped on the road. On Saturday, Dhas trained his gun on his own party leader and minister, Pankaja Munde. He asked her , “Why didn’t you visit Santosh Deshmukh’s family?” The all- party march on Saturday to the Beed collector's office was attended by thousands of people wearing black bands and holding black flags. The protest saw a large number of women, senior citizens, and youths. A single demand resonated throughout the crowd was “Arrest the accused, Valmiki Karad, and demand the resignation of Dhananjay Munde.” The march began on Saturday morning with tributes paid at Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s statue. Prominent leaders such as former MP Chhatrapati Sambhaji Raje Bhosale, BJP MLA Suresh Dhas, NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) MLAs Sandeep Kshirsagar, Prakash Solanke and Jitendra Awhad, NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) MP Bajrang Sonawane, Maratha activist Manoj Jarange-Patil, and Jyoti Mete participated in the protest. Former MP Sambhaji Raje Chhatrapati said, “If Dhananjay Munde is made the Guardian Minister, we won’t tolerate it. If anyone tries to intimidate people, I will step in. What’s happening here? Do you want to turn Beed into Bihar? This is why we have to take to the streets.” NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) MP Bajrang Sonawane openly challenged Dhananjay Munde. He said, “If you truly want to deliver justice to Beed and respect the soil you were born in, resign and face an inquiry. Why do you need ministerial position? Is it just to oppress us?" Fadnavis has set up an SIT for investigation. However, pressure for the resignation of Minister Dhananjay Munde is increasing. There is a constant discussion about the deteriorating law and order situation in Beed district.
