That tiny outcrop has been known about since 1978 but when they checked their position with the Danish official in charge of registering Arctic islands There were 800 M further north. Team leader Martin Rush of the University of Copenhagen said they were standing on land closer to the North Pole than anyone had been on before. The team suggests calling it attack Havana like meaning the northernmost island in Greenlandic, an

"You. Two thousand and twelve kodak filed for bankruptcy hard to believe for a company that at one point held ninety percent of the market share on films and eighty five percent on camera sales a company that revolutionized an industry and let it for over one hundred years. It was a strong message to the business world. That when a company begins to operate out of fear and loses sight of where the industry is going as well as what the consumers really want it loses sight of its value proposition. Kodak's starting making other products like inkjet printers in hopes to push people towards another purchase. Instead of actually innovating.

"Using electronic currents that were then stored digitally onto a cassette tape and by attaching the device to a tv screen would allow viewers to see images in fact thirty images displayed within twenty three seconds. It was absolutely remarkable and in that moment sassan an employee at kodak unveiled to its senior executives. The world's first digital camera except what occurred necks was beyond sassoon's comprehension rather than having his idea be embraced with enthusiasm and excitement. He watched with dismay and confusion. As each blank face executives seemingly unimpressed proceeded with an air of flippancy and expressed disinterest to pursue what sassan had feverishly worked on for months collectively. They decided to shelve it indefinitely. Unfortunately they wouldn't realize that sassoon's discovery and their decision was going to change the fate of kodak. Welcome to the story of kodak. Developed in the dark room in eighteen eighty eight overexposed fired by two thousand and twelve reflect on the most iconic business fails inevitably. Kodak comes up high on the list after all it was once one of the most powerful companies in the world and nowadays capturing precious moments no longer requires the namesake company and the stand alone camera itself. Well it's no longer a household item for most who have turned their smartphones to snap and share photos from anywhere in the world in a matter of seconds but there was a time and i recall this vividly when vacations and events wouldn't be complete without our family camera. Was this big bulky big beautiful piece of equipment because back then it was pretty cutting edge and you'd have to pop in the thirty five millimeter film. A certain way into the back of the camera. Which if you didn't get it in right would expose too much light to the film and completely screw up your photos which was like flushing ten dollars down the drain and then once we were done taking the photos. I'd go with my mom to the local drugstore like our local rite aid or cvs or duane. Reade which had these photo processing centers drop off our film and have to wait three to five days. Were sometimes even over a week to have them. Print out our photos onto paper because back. Then you'd have to wait a long time to see how these photos turned out over the years. It progressed to a quicker turnaround time and then we would sit around and look at the photos together sift through them. Organize them and put them into our photo albums and it was a thing the way we capture moments now has dramatically evolved over time and kodak has been our guide. Kodak's first camera was connick because it put photography into the hands of the general public the company was with us throughout the hey days of the hour photo into the digital era and these days digital photos. Don't just live on the camera or the family computer. We can text them. We can post them. And send them to. Self destruct timers even turn them into memes for all of that we owed eastman kodak a big thank you. for democratizing. photography be dominated the consumer photography market for over a century. But what's so interesting. Is i was doing research on the downfall of kodak. Was that with a number of ways we can take photos. The answer seems simple at first but when you look closer at the company's history you'll come to see that ironically what made them so successful was what ultimately killed off. The company story is a poster. Child is research story of an organization that was very successful extraordinarily successful and some of the very activities and interactions and challenges and the like the pain from the success created a dynamic which ultimately created a culture in a way of operating that killed the success completely. That was john. Kotter our special guests for this episode. He's a professor at harvard business school who has authored several bestsellers on this topic. And we'll help breakdown. How kodak was a lesson in how a series of mistakes including the culture at kodak could forever damage a once. picture-perfect pioneer. You press the button we do. The rest that was an advertising slogan coined by george eastman the founder of kodak eighteen eighty eight when he created the first commercialized camera on the market eastman in avid photographer believed in making photography available to the world in other words empowering people to do their own picture-taking until then taking photographs was a complicated process that can only be accomplished. If photographer knew how to process and develop his own phil eastman who came up with. The name of the company himself started with the letter k because he thought it sounded strong and then tried out a bunch of other combinations with other letters finally landing one that sounded legit and he certainly hit the nail on that as the brand kodak would come to command. The entire photography industry worldwide kodak was a trailblazer with its innovation. Adopting a wildly successful business model. Call the razor and blade in which you sell something for cheap. Make the real money selling supplies for in this model. A single sale creates a recurring revenue. Stream and single sale was in the cameras which kodak made very affordable after all the money was in the film the printing sheets and other accessories with much higher margins that would be the bread and butter for kodak and it worked very well for a very long time pioneered in industry. That were so good that they gained huge market share and had all the advantages of huge market share which is to say you get economy to scale and you get brand recognition and it's very difficult to compete with them and so once they get going it's almost as if they get lift they get a win behind And without taking innovative or clever or new steps the wind behind them produced by a not a monopoly but pretty close carries you to growth and profitability and. What looks like a phenomenal success store. And that's what happened to go to. And if you recall their presence was so prevailing that the tagline kodak moment became a ubiquitous lexicon that refer to memorable moments that could be captured in a photograph.

Why Leaders Need to Get Better at Changing Their Minds with Adam Grant
"Guest. Today is adam grant. Adam is an organizational psychologist and a ted speaker who helps people find meaning and motivation at work. He's a bestselling author and he's also the host of worklife a great podcast. You should check out in his new book. Think again adam challenges us to slow down and stop doing an executing all the time and actually spend time thinking thinking about our business where it's going what problems we have to solve. Why is it that we have such a temptation to just stay on that treadmill of producing an executing and we never stop and make the time to think one is that whip rewarded for what we deliver right and it's sometimes hard to connect the dots between cardi. I've got a bunch of new ideas or a fresh perspective and and what that actually means for my small business. I think the the second thing is we get rewarded for doing things. The same way over and over again that gives us excellence of execution. It helps us build productive routines and then we get really comfortable in our best practices. And i think the danger of that of course is that we don't look around ask if there are better practices and i think what a lot of us end up doing. Is we think too. Much like preachers and prosecutors. When we're in the mindset of preachers were convinced. Where right when we're thinking like prosecutors were proving people who are challenging us wrong and that means we stop thinking flexibly and sometimes we fall into the trap of foolish consistency and we see this happen all the time with huge companies right. I don't think that that berry or blockbuster kodak or sears. Had any problem with doing right. They were great at executing. The problem was they were executing the things that made them great in the past and they missed out obviously on a bunch of digital disruption. Some of which was brought from the outside. But if you look at a kodak they actually pioneered digital imaging and then they said no. Our business model is selling film. Obviously that didn't work out very well for them. and i see the same dynamics. In small businesses pretty regularly where people are unwilling to rethink their strategies their products services on some of their practices that have driven their success in the past. And and that means sometimes we get trapped instability where we should be embracing change. I love the kodak example. Because in hindsight we can all see how they actually could have become instagram me. They were the market leader in photography. And had they been thinking this way. They could have shifted that and caused that revolution. Knowing what you know what you studied that goes into this book. Think again if you could go back and be a consultant into the executive team at kodak at that time what do you imagine they would have been saying that was keeping them entrenched in. And what would you tell them about how they were thinking and the opportunity that they would miss if they didn't change the way they fought that such an interesting question. Well i would have. I mean it would have been great to introduce them to the future of the internet. Talk to them about how we were. All going to be posting selfies. One day but i think long before that where i would have started would have been to talk to them a little bit about the fat cat syndrome right where we tend to rest on our laurels and get complacent when things are going really well. And that's the perfect time to shake things up because we have the resources and slack capacity to do it. And then i think the next thing that i probably would've done is i would have encouraged them to stop preaching that they were right. Stop prosecuting me for being wrong and instead think a little bit more like scientists daniel one of my all time favorite experiments was done recently with small business owners in italy. So they're all pre revenue. They're taking a three to four month. Crash course in hottest start and run a business. They all get the exact same training and education. What they don't know is that half of them have been randomly assigned just to think like scientists in the way that they build and run their businesses. They're told your strategies just theory. Go do customer interviews to develop some specific hypotheses and then when you launch her first product or service. That's just an experiment to test your hypotheses and it turns out that group that's just encouraged to think like scientists over the next year they bring in on average more than forty times the revenue of the control group which is a stunning effect. Right and the major reason why they're so successful when they think scientists is that there are more than twice as likely to pivot they. They run their their first product. Launch or service launch and. it doesn't work and instead of doubling down. They say you know what i guess. I learned that my theory was wrong. Or hypotheses. didn't work in this market or a need to rethink my minimum viable product. And i would have encouraged kodak to do the same thing. I would've said okay. You all are great scientists when it comes to figuring out how to process film and build a camera. Why don't you apply that same. Ab testing that you normally do with products to your strategy to the kinds of products that you create to how you run your company and let's just let's try the digital camera. You have the technology what's going to happen if we roll it out instead of waiting for a couple dozen get rolled out first and then saying lips. It's too late. What are the hallmarks of thinking like a scientist that we don't see when you're thinking like prosecutor or a preacher who i don't think you have to own a microscope or telescope writer even a lab coat thinking like a scientist to may just means you favor humility over pride and curiosity over conviction. That means you know what you don't now and you're excited to discover things that might actually teach you a fresh perspective or you know an area of expertise that you don't currently have access to and one of the things that scientists do best at least good scientists right sometimes. Even scientists don't think like scientists but good scientists is is somebody who says i'm knocking to let my ideas become my identity right. I'm not going to start to define myself as as the kind of person who only leads a certain way. Or i won't define us is the kind of business that only does one thing and i think that flexibility is is a huge part of what allows the scientific thinking mindset to allow small business owners to continue adapting and not only responding to change the world but actually creating

WIRED Correspondent Adam Rogers Talks 'Wild Tech' Built Into Perseverance
"So adam. Let's start with a couple of notable things about this rover one. It's collecting and to you. Just wrote a story on wired dot com this week about the cameras on perseverance and how they actually perceive imagery much differently than we do. Tell us about this. And why this is significant for this mission will. there's something almost philosophical. You have to address if you're going to send not people to explore another planet but robots which is you're trying to acquire like sensory information and some of that some of that can be quantified can be sent back as data. You know the numbers for certain for certain analyses that you can send an instrument to do and i. I can talk about some of that but some of it. Is you want to send a robot that can look at stuff that can hear stuff in this case they can sense this world. And then that that information through the sensory organs the mechanical sensor organs the technology. That you send the microphones and the cameras and the sensors instruments and then it has to get home has to get back to us somehow. Us not wired reporters but jet propulsion laboratory and then the whole vast team of humans who process all of that through their own machinery and then it becomes something that they can that they can look at. Its this this. Arc of how data becomes information and then becomes knowledge so we humans send these robots to mars to some extent to learn how to send better robots to mars a lot of the instruments on perseverance. That's the rover that's there now are versions of instruments that went up on other missions and now they kind of the scientists that jpl and are all these universities. Nasa know how to make them work to do more what they wanna do which is to look at their surroundings in ways that that we humans would would. Would i be able to identify easily as looking at stuff to to see things in the colors that human is also see we were standing there and also to look at them multispectral hyperspace literally and other parts of the electric spectrum that human i wouldn't perceive but the eyes of this rover is in scare quotes that i'm making on a on a screen even though this audio medium so that's not helpful at all. The eyes of this rover can see into the little bit into the ultraviolet partway into the infrared. And and also can see x-rays and have an are using a laser project light outward to obliterate some bits of rock. And see what what happens when you do it. And to listen with microphones that that might be more sensitive than human ear. Then all of those things get get reduced transformed or changed in some way into meaningful knowledge so that we can understand more about what what's on this other planet where humans have never been but humans have sent a lot of our stuff. You're saying that each brand has gone up tomorrow. At least the ones that we have had progressively better technology on them with each version. And i think it's kind of interesting that this rover that just went up now. Perseverance is essentially the first rover of the iphone era. Curiosity launched in two thousand eleven and it was designed for a period of five or six seven years before that so the imaging technology on it is very representational of like that time in imaging technology the imaging technology that we have now and the imaging technology that we have on. Perseverance is pardon the pun astronomically better than the tech that we had ten years ago. I mean if you think about like how bad your instagram photos. Were in two thousand eleven. And how fantastic they can be now. You can see just like as far as mobile technology goes and just imaging sensors. The leap has been huge. That's a it's a really interesting observation. I think that's right. Although i will also say that like one of the one of the instruments that i wrote about is called the masked kim z. And so it's this. This binocular camera to cameras linked together left and right eye on top of the tower. That's on the rover so sits up a little. Bit high zina's presume because there was a mass cam on curiosity the z. Has zoom capability and it does a bunch of stuff. It's there to identify targets of interesting scientific potentially interesting scientific value and also to be able to look around and navigation and take pictures and do a whole bunch of other stuff. The the ccd the charge coupled device the optical sensor the to in mass are off the shelf kodak cds and they have the they have in front of them the bear pattern of pixels. The probably gonna get this wrong but like the red green blue. I think that that's that would be familiar. That if you if you could look into your phone you would see it. And then mass games does what. The experiment instrument is take advantage of some capabilities that our phone cameras. Don't really do to do much more. Because because the also can see into the infrared a bit and so if you put the right filters in front of them you can do even more science with them so there is some sense that we send up a camera. That would be the same camera that a lot of people have in their pockets right now sitting on their sitting on their desk. I can get sort of derivative about but there's something important i think in the pictures that are starting to come back already. That include parts of the rover itself and people will describe those as celsius as mars selfie camera taking pictures of itself and and nasa among all agencies is very very good at At its own promotional work saying like. Here's the thing. Here's the picture of the thing we're doing. There are pictures. There's video of the landing which was dramatic but also like the video of the landing. Is there to video of the landing has engineering value but also publicity value. But but i think the calling it. A selfie also includes the recognition of the the. It's not personal because of course it's not a person of the machine hood of the individuality of the humanness of the technology that that we sent that has to do a thing there. That's doing technological work and and seeing mars through a kind of filter that's akin to but slightly different than the filters that if mike if you took that billionaire ticket up tomorrow how you would see through the visor of your of your back suit

The album reaches number three on billboard. Two hundred sold seventy one thousand equivalent units the first week. And that's a record cody while discussing rappers on the fellow. Two thousand and sixteen x l. freshman list uzi vert little. Yati cody creates a beef. When he insults them while conducting a livestream instagram interview little little vert replied stating that. He was not bothered by the insult but that he still fucked with kodak black so i guess he was just talking. Smack these guys off though. Well here's the thing. I'm gonna get in trouble with some segment of our audience at this one. These are mumble rappers. Familiar with number wipers like little. Yati muga boo boo. Every now that was my impression of snoop. Dogg making fun of these guys. Because that's what he says he's like. What is this all about. What even saying and so if you indicate that that's not real rab or i've even seen these guys in interviews where the old heads like dudes from the eighties. We'll be like you got to pay respect to all those guys before you gotta respect the shit old man. I'm doing what i do. And so these guys take a lot of heat. They say a lot of controversial shit. They use the social media to sort of build up their name. I think that's what cody was doing. He was just sorta like fire a couple of shots like these dudes now. We're talking about it so you got beef bigger than you be with you. Little yati bigger walk little yachties bigger than kodak black and little easy vert. I would say they're about the same level. I am not a rap aficionado. Any regular listener to the show knows the whole in my music. History knowledge is the rap game so feel free to get a hold of us at any social media livas speak by crime. Music dot com. Tell me i'm wrong to me. I don't know shit that's great. Let's all agree out there in the audience at brian is the he is the beginning in the end of saying what is and isn't more popular in the rap world. Oh yeah okay. You're in charge.

Yes i do call that. I've changed my mind. You don't wanna do that or you don't want the ankle bracelet thing. I don't wanna do it because you said he was under house arrest and moya would talk about some of our people that were under house. Arrest me like walkie. Dude got mentioned in the hills. You're doing right now after the whole entire lockdown bullshit like. Get me that house. Gimme lockdown in my Estate montano with one hundred and fifty acres or whatever. No even there. I i need to get away. I just need to get out of the house to kissel everybody's there all the time. I just just give me outta here. Well the judge declares cody would be permitted to tour internationally while under house arrest so he gets what you want. What exactly so. You're not in trouble at all. Well you have to stay at home which will hold on. We'll get there. You gotta stay at home. You're touring internationally vets. Only if you're overseas in america you state your house are if if you're in america you gotta stay home stay at your house otherwise the entire world at your disposal you do whatever you want or you can go anywhere else on the global. Goddamn if when you get to america you get off that plane. You better repair shooting onto your florida. Broward county in your freaking house. Yeah that's where you go I think i'm going to tour internationally. For how long was as the rest for its towards. It's really funny. The extended all he's doing is he's going to like an irish pub somewhere in ireland in singing one song while drinking and having fun for a year yes toured. How many were in your audience While the bartender road he's always show of those guys are good for you. Guys set up the lights and the music guy. Danny great showmen great. Yeah no well anyway. That's but that's daily got man. So that's what happens when your ordinary horton right. Enough record producer record producer. Michael kirschner yeah. So prior to his release from broward main jail please discovered two more outstanding criminal warrants. The first one from florence south carolina felony criminal sexual conduct the second for saint lucie county. Florida alleging two counts of misdemeanor marijuana possession so cody's not released from jail in addition to the warrant. He's charged with criminal sexual misconduct florence case. He's charged with sexual battery which carries a penalty of up to thirty years in prison so long time he's in they keep finding more shit on him. What it's amazing to me that in today's day and age our technology that the most advanced age of communication ever to counties bordering each other can't communicate a adults crimes. dude. The doctor's office in the hospital didn't talk to the hospital when i went to the doctor's office about when i went to the hospital that same building. Dude yeah and again. We live in the most advanced age of technical communication. Like all they need is a facebook. cry hashtag out on the same tweet. All you need is loosely. Restructured twitter and you could have all the people that commit crimes anywhere in the world. Right there come to the same top time and date stamp pinned to the top and i i swear still go to court today and when you're in trouble the dude the clerk the docket guy lower. What's next on. The docket will hand the judge. A big fat folder a manila folder with like binder and ragged papers hanging out the side and do a little stringy. See in the middle of a bible and okay. What did you do today. And he's going to read the whole thing but if it was on a computer format i would feel much better like with the star trek like that little clear pad. They used to hand people that glass tablet. And then you go. Captain and captain like flexes finger. Maybe if the technology if they had if they had a thing that you could just touch with your hands notebook but but skinnier fitter yeah the page paper bigger ones or smaller ones happen depending what you need. You only need one button on it. That's it that's it the rest of it would all be screen. Do we should make one of those patent and a lot of money all right so here we go. September nineteenth two thousand sixteen kodia sentenced to one hundred twenty days in prison again after pleading no contest to one charge of possession of twenty grams or less of marijuana and one charge of use or possession of marijuana paraphernalia from that. Two thousand fifteen traffic stop and saint lucie florida. So in addition to serving the prison time the rappers driver's licenses also suspended for a year and he's ordered to pay two hundred ninety eight dollars in court fees. So i mentioned at the beginning of the podcast here about trump commute and a couple of people. There have no of notoriety. Or whatever. No spoilers no no no. I was in that article i was reading. He was there. Were like e people. You've heard what our holy cow. okay. I didn't know that a few of them were totally. Legitimate bullshit parted no but he did pardon a lot of people that like one dude was a mechanic for a a operation of drug dealers. What yeah he didn't even like do. The drug dealing just kept the cars around and he just kept the you know like hey. Can you fix this car and you know. Make sure we are ready to go to our next drug deal. He was in jail for like. Yeah pay years. What's oh wow and there were. There were some other ones that were very minor drug cases this guy. He's getting in trouble for one hundred twenty days for a little bit of we'd less than two pounds right but of states that are in jail for twenty thirty years for about that same same crying. California's jobs are sick. With people who liked grow operations and stuff that are now completely. Go right but you did it before before it was legal. Right so commute your sentence. I believe that presidents do that usually. They'll do it every year. They can people whenever they want the president. I will say that you broke the law and it's no longer illegal. You should be let free and most of the time that is the case but a lot of time. The red tape just gets in the way. Oh my god you know and a lot of the people that any of these presidents do commute are just waiting for red tape to clear a bunch of seventy eighty year old hippies. Just like i didn't do anything wrong. Man like willie nelson style. Wow how ebola's month anyway. Well a while. He's in jail two thousand sixteen coating releases the song. Can.

"Them interested. In Kodak's case. For instance, there was this. Very odd rumor that they were going to get involved with drugs. Todos with Cove it and that sort of got people buying it and in game stops keys. The catalyst was really two things. One is you know, people were saying it was. It was pretty undervalued. Its stock had been driven down very, very low and then in the summer A new guy came on board the board a guy named Brian Cohen, who had helped make a company called Chewy, Very successful. He has all these ambitions. Toe move game stop in the e commerce. So that kind of got people talking about it. And maybe the kind of center of the means Stock universe has become a Subreddit board on Reddit called Our Wall Street bets it actually now has I think more than two million subscribers. And it's really just a place where people come in talk about usually sort of bad companies that could make interesting bets. But what has happened over the last year is that they sort of have realized the power that they potentially have that even though You know, most of them. I assume don't At least it sounds like when you read it don't have a ton of money. When you aggregate all of their buying power, they suddenly have the ability to move stocks so The other thing That's important about means. Stocks is generally they all have had two characteristics. They've all been cheap. The vast majority maybe all of them have had Stock prices in the single digits at the time that they really first started to get going, and then the other thing about them is that they were all heavily shorted. In other words, short sellers were betting strongly against them. Give us a brief explanation of short selling, So the vast majority of investors the vast amount of money that's in the stock market is betting that stocks will rise. Short sellers do the opposite. They bet that stocks will fall. So They tried. You identify companies where the business is bad or where they think the stock price has gotten totally out of control. They borrow shares from someone who actually owns the stock, and then they sell them. Their hope is that the stock price will fall. Then they can buy back the shares at a lower price and return them to the person they borrowed them from the ideal trade would be you short the stock at 20. It drops to 10. You buy back the shares and you know you've made basically $10 a share. The danger for short sellers is that in theory, their losses are unlimited. If you buy games stop at $5 a share. The most you can lose is $5 a share, right? I mean, he could go to zero and you would lose $5 a share. If you short game stop as a lot of shorts did if you short it at $20 a share. And it goes to $290 a share, which is where Gamestop was a few minutes ago. And you hold on to your short that whole time. You've just lost $270 a share. So your losses are in theory unlimited, and it makes it a very hard to be a short seller. Psychologically is very hard to do. You need a strong stomach? Yeah. You need an incredible level of pain tolerance. The basic problem for a short is that if they don't want to hold on to that stock all the way up to 2 90. At some point, they just decide. I can't take the pain anymore. I got a close out my short, so I have to buy the stock back. But when they do that, it actually sends the stock higher. Right? There's all this demand. If there are still people shorting it, which they usually are that actually inflict more pain on them. And so they start to say, You know what? I can't take the pain. They buy the stock that sends the stock higher, and that's what's usually called a short squeeze. And that was a big part of what has driven game stops. Stock higher Now you said that people they don't like short sellers. They're seen as the Darth Vader is of the market lot of people because they're betting that stocks will go down there. Buzz kills, But the red editors seemed to think That they are just bad guys. Alex Kirshner and Slate quoted some of the red it posts when these boomers made their bet Gamestop wasn't a big thing on Wall Street. That's yet I don't feel bad at all, said another taking money from these rich creedy hedge fund managers. I'm an old millennial. I'm tired of getting screwed by the globalist elites. Another one said. This isn't left or right Republican or Democrat. It's the 1% versus everyone else. Yeah, There definitely is a real sense of basically taking it to the man. So there was a hedge fund that had I think the biggest short position in game stop Melvin Capital Earlier this week, Melvin Capital had to be bailed out. It basically got a $3 billion almost $3 billion injection of equity from two other hedge funds. The celebration on Wall Street. Betts was pretty probable. I mean, they had essentially, you know, toppled this hedge fund and you know, there's a sense that a lot of people have that Wall Street is basically a corrupt insiders game and they're not entirely wrong about that. It's a game where bigwigs are able to prosper even is everybody else doesn't you know? Obviously over the last 10 years, A lot of people have gotten rich in the stock market in a lot of ordinary people have to But that clearly is a dominant image of Wall Street. And it's not naming correct one. And so what This has become for a lot of people, both people who are actually doing the trading and then also people observing it is a kind of populist revolt. Wall Street is finally getting what it deserves. I actually do think there is a real resonance between What's happening in game stop and other stocks like it and what happened in 2016 with, you know, sort of the mean lords on places like Fortune and read it and the way they really tried to sort of And did disrupt the traditional media narrative. The traditional way the media cover the campaign the way sort of politics work. How did they disrupt it? What they were able to do was use Social media. To spread pro trump. But really anti Hillary means that I think helped make really powerful the image of Hillary as a corrupt insider who stood for everything that You know the Internet was and millennials. We're not in favor of and you know, we can debate about how effective those means were. But when Trump won there was this one poster on fortune who who posted we actually elected a MIM of president. Slightly overstated, obviously, but there certainly was a dimension to that. That was accurate, although that was really driven by kind of an all right perspective, and that's very different from what's happening with Wall Street. That's that sense that you can leverage social media that communities can self organize. And can then really go out and accomplish really interesting things there, I think is a real residents between 2016 and what we're seeing right now..
The Daily Dive
The Battle of Wall Street
"Aim retailer game. Stop has been having quite the week on wall street. Thousands of small investors were buying up stock and driving up the market value of the company. These investors were gathering in places like the wall street bet sub reddit and targeting shortsellers by buying with calling meam stocks while game stop was a current beneficiary of this plan. Other companies like blackberry and. Amc have also been brought up. Sending shares soaring the ups and downs continued even as some trading sites and apps had restricted transactions of and. Amc robin hood. Which is a popular investor. App prevented customers from purchasing more shares of a lot of companies but because of the backlash they're allowing limited buys now for more on the crazy week. That game stop has been having on wall street will speak to james sarah wicky columnists for the online business magazine. Marker just see provide some context that game. Stop fifty two week. Low was to fifty seven cents. So you can do the math there. Perhaps even more mazing ingley gauged up ended. Twenty twenty. I think the stock was at eighteen. Eighty four. so that means is I think around nineteen hundred percent this month and gain has come in the last in the last week it really kinda exploded beginning last friday so as you said the core of the community that has kind of driven. The stock upward is centered on a sub. Reddit called wall street debt which is actually a huge it so it. Now i think has more than two million subscribers. Obviously it's got a lot more subscribers this started but even before that it was it was very big and it's a very sort of read it like community. It's a point of people talking to each other telling jokes making fun and one of the kind of stock that they've been very interested and over the last. Let's say six months to a year. They've tended to focus on chief stocks so stuff that oftentimes the price and the single digits but that they have relatively small overall market capitalizations and then oftentimes stocks. That are being down stocks that you could theoretically make a lot of money. And if they sort. Of rebound i mean. They're obviously interested in tesla and the some of the more hype stocks. And they're buying like blackberry and amc movie theaters which there have been suffering throughout the pandemic. So these are just some of the other ones that they've been getting in on his well exactly and so idea means of mean. Stock is pretty new. I think the term really only emerged less than a couple years ago. And i started off left summer when we saw some really crazy movements in hertz. Which even though. It was bankrupt. Suddenly site stock skyrocket last summer and then kodak with another example. I don't know if you remember. But there was this sort of weird moment when i honestly can't even remember the details of the story but there was this news that kodak was somehow going to be involved in making cova drugs and sex talk when sorta spike as well and the mean. Nothing really started to take off in sort of the end of twenty twenty. And now obviously this month is really when it sorta come into. Its own as you said he didn't stop is by far the most prominent of them because of just how crazy the action in that stock has been. There are now a host of other ones. So as you said. Amc theaters which today was up three hundred percent blackberry which was up like thirty percent today. Which money by these standards is a tiny game but if you think about thirty percent that's pretty huge nokia so a lot of these things so the key to this story i think is that what's happening in me. Stocks and. let's talk about game stuff the keys that what's happening is it's not like a kind of traditional stock market bubble where people are just kinda rushing in to buy stocks because they see other people that are buying them and they think oh. Those stocks are going to go up or they think i'll be able to dump the stock on a greater fool or they become sort of hypnotized by the promise of the internet like happened in the late. Nineteen nineties or there have been many little bubbles in wall street history. My favorite one is in the early nineteen sixties. Investors became convinced that every american was going to end up going bowling like three or four times a week and so there was this huge in bowling stocks. This is very different from that. What happened on this. It on the sub reddit was that people recognize. That game was not just very cheap and had a relatively small flow in other words. There aren't that many shares outstanding but they also realize that a huge percentage of that float so by some accounts all of the shares plus them. We're being sold short by shortsellers. So short sellers were basically betting the game stops stock was going to continue to fall. And the reason that's important is that when a stock starts rising sharply if it's been heavily. Shorted what oftentimes will happen. Is that short. Sellers will have to buy the stock back in order to the phrase on wall. Street is cover their shorts. 'cause they don't necessarily want to keep their short as that stock. He's rising because if they do every dollar rises another dollar they've lost and so if shortsellers can't take the pain they buy the stock well when shortsellers vice stock that obviously helps push the price higher so if there are more people shorting higher above them. Who maybe don't you know that sends the price higher that there are four shortsellers were getting pain inflicted. They say okay. I can't take the pain. They buy the stock

Another one said. This isn't left or right Republican or Democrat. It's the 1% versus everyone else. Yeah, There definitely is a real sense of basically taking it to the man. So there was a hedge fund that had I think the biggest short position in game stop Melvin Capital Earlier this week, Melvin Capital had to be bailed out. It basically got a $3 billion almost $3 billion injection of equity from two other hedge funds. The celebration on Wall Street. Betts was pretty palpable. I mean, they had essentially, you know, toppled this hedge fund and you know, there's a sense that a lot of people have that Wall Street is basically a corrupt insiders game and they're not entirely wrong about that. It's a game where bigwigs are able to prosper even is everybody else doesn't you know? Obviously over the last 10 years, A lot of people have gotten rich in the stock market in a lot of ordinary people have to But that clearly is a dominant image of Wall Street. And it's not naming correct one. And so what This has become for a lot of people, both people who are actually doing the trading and then also people observing it is a kind of populist revolt. Wall Street is finally getting what it deserves. I actually do think there is a real resonance between What's happening in game stop and other stocks like it and what happened in 2016 with, you know, sort of the mean lords on places like Fortune and read it and the way they really tried to sort of And did disrupt the traditional media narrative..

Trump Grants Clemency to Stephen Bannon and Other Allies Just Before Biden Becomes 46th President
"Hope you are. It is Inauguration Day. The new president has been officially sworn in. Joe Biden is now the President, United States and Kamala Harris is the vice president and we had a chance to hear some remarks from the from the New bank. It's hard to say it, but the new president Joe Biden today. And I thought his remarks were largely good. I was really anxiously waiting to see if he would specifically reference President Trump. He did not, and if he would reference the maybe not even with such specificity but recognized The fact that parent medically 75 or so million people voted the other way. Um, and then just let them know that. Yeah, it's a good time to look at why people were motivated Tol boat in the matter which they did and try to address those Those issues that motivated people that got people to be so involved, But there was it wasn't explicit on it. By the way, we've learned that the president Trump did. Leave the traditional letter in the Oval Office desk for incoming President Biden. President Biden did indicate that it was that it was generous, but would not reveal the contents of the note. Until they dedicate an opportunity to speak with President Trump. Make sure that that was okay. So that zlook promising, I think, But what about a couple of things that we're gonna look a little bit out? Pardons and commutations that President Trump has signed on his way out. I always hate that. I just There's a rare occasion. I think where somebody is really, truly been. Abused by the justice system on and there's an opportunity to, uh to commute or pardon in that case, but I think it's overdone and I never like it. Regardless of who it is. This tradition has happened. I think with every departing president my lifetime But among the people that were partner, there was some question on it. Steve Bannon and Bannon who looks I mean, just a prime official look, appears to have been involved in fraud scheme to separate people from their money. Based on a promise that that contribution would go toward funding the border wall when that wasn't the case. And then, of course, a couple of rappers little rap. I'm sorry, Little little Wayne and Kodak Black. I don't think about those individuals, but I do know that Their cases involved firearms and won the a felon in possession of a firearm. I'd prefer that person did their time. But there's ah some pretty graphic information and describing some of the things that they have done. I think in each of their cases in terms of philanthropic efforts, good causes, and that's that's great. I think that should be encouraged. But You know, I'm very much inclined to support the BA concept of violate the law. You pay the consequences for it, period

Monocle 24: The Globalist
Photographer Richard Mosse on blurring the lines between art
"Now richard. Moss's photographic practice has resulted in some of the most arresting images of recent years as a conceptual documentary photographer. He draws on a range of esoteric photographic media to catch a so much more than meets the eye. Monaco's much. Larry spoke to richard to find out more about his unique and emotive work to those nine. I went to iraq. And i made a series of images essentially architectural project photographic project documenting the us forces who were based in the saddam hussein's palace architecture and saddam. Hussein had about eighty four palaces. All around iraq may which he never even visited when the us military arrived. They were so strategically well located for obvious. Reasons and very defensively built. They made pretty straight forward operating bases so they were occupied by the us military which i found fascinating just the layers of power and expression of that architecturally from the sort of provisional corporate office partitions and cubicles that the. Us army would hastily set up within the very pompous and often poorly built authoritarian architecture of saddam hussein which had a very specific style with some very strange eccentric ornamental features. Such as giant teapots and. Yeah it was very incongruous staff. And i brought eight by ten inch camera there and it'd be like that project and after that i realized frustrated with the medium documentaries over here. It's really so conservative as a language so reductive often. You're just an illustrator for writers texts if you're doing it at oriel which primarily. We're documenta over. Do i wanted to break it apart. Actually i wanted to somehow really smashes just for myself. It was a very personal desire to essentially as an expression of the frustration of with my own practice. I was at that time. Kodak was on its path to bankruptcy was announced had announced the discontinuation of this infrared film. Kodak erico two thousand ten. I think says nine around the time and so i thought well this is a wonderful way to unpack a documentary subject. I don't know what may be quite yet. But i gathered as much as i could off ebay and wherever it was being made extinct and i sort of worked backwards from the medium which i always tend to do actually to find to find effective subject or subjects that could be more adequately conveyed to be elevated through the medium through this particular medium and reading was a starting point for me over. The last ten years i've been working with spurred you call them infra-red film technology's very interested in the unseen registry invisible light forms as the way often metaphorically telling very complex documentary narratives more powerful way and to refresh very saturated subject matter for example the refugee crisis unfolding across europe the middle east north africa. Everybody photographer was out there taking pictures. And they all tend to look rather similar. And i really was. After a certain point the imagery just became inherently less compelling and less powerful as language. So i wanted to refresh my own way and i found this bizarre military grade thermographic camera that can image human body heat from thirty kilometres distance. Day or nice. It's classes weapon designed for battlefield situational awareness long-range insurgents detection tracking and targeting. So it was actually part of a weapon. System very sort of activated medium to think through the representation of the refugee crisis and also almost an aggravated one. Really confront the viewer. On some level with their own complicity. I believe and that was my intention to really make people feel that. And i think as an orange has that's one of the only things you can do is to make people feel something so i was working through metaphor aesthetics in this work but with that work with my project incoming its title and it was using this weapons technologies long range border enforcement technology. Thermographic heat-detection camera. I realized i was also operating in certain moments on another level beyond the metaphorical and beyond the aesthetic. And that was the the forensic after understand. The camera sees index heat register. You can calibrate for about forty degrees and anything. That's relatively cooler or relatively warmer within. That given frame is depicted in black or white depending on how you set the the recording set the image. And so something that's black. Could be everything that's warms. The human body would be depicted in black and everything cold surrounding him. Buddy will be waste for example or if you sell it. The other way white hart. It's the opposite. And i was filming this tragic event i've ever witnessed probably ever will. Hopefully it was one of the biggest human trafficking disasters on the gnc and human memory of three hundred people or more were on a on a fishing trawler was had paid to be on that boat from turkey to lead boss and human traffickers just packed that boat too many people who zone designed for perhaps twenty or thirty people so the top deck of the boat collapsed and doing panic entire hull ripped apart and we were able to capture all this from about seven kilometers away with camera designed exactly for this kind of thing and then when the bodies were brought to shore to the harbour of malvo's something store happy it was after dark at this point literally out on the cold stone pier they were lined up on thermal. Br red cross workers volunteers local doctors. Anyone who could could help out. Were were frantically trying to revive these hypothermic victim. Some whom passed out or semi drowned or some had had remain conscious. But we're literally freezing to death. And so they were literally what they were doing. Rubbing life-giving warmth from their hands into the flesh coddled flesh of the these hypothermic victims in front of us on the pier. Desperately trying to sort of transmit life-giving heat back back into them. Now a normal camera of course after dark wouldn't wouldn't be abc's very much let alone. Would it be able to see the trace of that of that transmission of warmth which the thermal camera was able to do incredibly effective articulation of exactly the crux of of the emergency unfolding around us. It was a of very powerful test. Testimonial footage of the the effort survive these people on the scale of a trauma around us. That was richard moss and do head over to our website to the full version of that interview.

"kodak" Discussed on Doug Miles Media
"Join us today in our book. Talk segment great. Welcome is written really a fascinating book about A product i guess. People have a certain age. Know about the polaroid cameras called a triumph of genius and woodland polaroid kodak patent. Where we're joined today by the ronald k fear speed from up in new york and Around a good chance of charity. How are you today. I'm here to get the book last night. So i'm looking forward to to really getting into it but i had one of my first cameras was the polaroid. Swinger remember that one black took black and white polaroid so product was dominant in our household them. Throughout the years. We got all the different polaroid so very very Groundbreaking product back. I guess when it came out in the s right well the first one actually came out in nineteen forty eight and that was a big one. took sepia pictures Yours is one of black and white ones. That came out later And of course the one most people think today is the ethics seventy which is You know the woman at square in white border problem fellow developed right in front of original one You pulled it out of the camera and with the developer on rod in the fall out around could get all tangled up. You do it right not yet to pull it out but then you had the time it tyler. Exactly i think black fifteen seconds had appealed apart he had a coat freaked to stabilize You know dr land. I imagine one step photography. He imagined the one that would just come out of the camera and develop but it was easier to imagine then to to reality took them twenty five years To get there. But eventually he did in nineteen seventy two. I was wondering it just popped out of the bottom of it and it and it spread the developer automatically into that peeling anymore. I guess that was the real breakthrough and added but It only lasted about what twenty years or so until digital photography came around right. You know it's interesting digital photography certainly part of it but What really was a bigger impact was the advent of one hour processing. You know all of a sudden you could take a picture with your fancy s alarm camera and high quality lenses and all of that and then take your Your film to kiosk. Or whatever and in an hour so your prints and it. We actually litigated. That in in court. as part of that kodak lawsuit And it was determined that one hour processing had more Had the first big impact on sending One step photography to Obsolescence little yellow kodak Kiosks with little drive-thrus that the pop up. I remember seeing a bunch of long island so those those came up I guess what mid seventies late seventies i think. Yeah in league in that but Yeah that was a big impact for the portion of polaroid is back and and It's not back as as big as it once was but There is a new polaroid company out there and they are selling in some cameras again and film In fact lady gaga is air creative consultant. And yeah and what's interesting is and if you think about it despite you know A one hour processing or Digital photography the one thing that neither of those accomplished was giving a print right there right on the spot and so this still you know this interest in instant gratification. That people have and so you can still buy. There is a whole new range of polaroid cameras and film out again today and sometimes if you go to a a party like a sweet sixteen they'll have a polaroid booth there where kids can go in. Get their pictures. Taken right away and have the prince to play with edwin land And you really go into the book About really a genius of of what. He came up with Really underrated though when you think of the great. The inventors wasn't a in the twentieth century. Well you know. Absolutely when he passed away in nineteen ninety one. He was third on the list of us. Inventors behind. only thomas edison and one of edison's colleagues Now we've all heard of thomas edison but very few people heard of edwin land and not only did he invent this photography thing but he invented the plastic polarizing that senior sunglasses. You know the thing that made that possible and a million other applications that polarized your lcd screens today. But that's something he invented in nineteen twenty seven at the age of nineteen years old while added he. All you hear these stories about a lot of people invented things. And they didn't that didn't really reap the financial rewards. Do okay or he he re rewarded about have just fine. By the time he was thirty four he had a company that was doing two hundred million dollars worth of business in today's dollars. Oh okay may be made the huge money. So yeah hear here. Just fine you know and but you know he was intellectually curious intellectually curious and for him. Yes he loved making the money. I guess but it was all about the next adventure And you know there's another aspect of his career that people aren't aware of is which is all the secret working for the intelligence community america's He worked for four. He worked for seven american presidents over four decades. He was responsible for the youtube. When when f- When eisenhower became president is in howard was concerned about what the russians were doing. It was the height of the cold war and He you know. By this time they had formed. A bland was part of a group of scientists who advise the president. And when eisenhower said that to this group land you know raised his hand and said well. Let's let's take a closer look at what they're up to and out of. That came the youtube spy plane. And then he did. He worked you know under the cia auspices for four decades The way he started with roosevelt back in world war two and.

Facebook and Antitrust
"Beginning to look a lot. Like sherman. Senator john sherman. That is who in one thousand nine hundred ninety sponsored the antitrust law that bears his name one hundred thirty years ago he pronounced quote if we will not endure a king as a political power. We should not into her king over the production transportation and sale of any of the necessities of life on february. Eighteenth one thousand nine hundred to without any warning. The president ordered his justice department to file suit against one of the trust. In which j. p. morgan had major interest the northern securities company. Its goal was the monopolistic control of all of the railroads between the great lakes and the pacific ocean. Since then other powerful repressive kings have been dethroned from standard oil to eastman kodak to at and t. and t.'s. Dogwoods as good as gold. It was independent on our currency. It was gold. Now it's gone. That was one thousand nine hundred eighty four. This is now twenty years into the digital century. Big tech remains supreme. All but unchecked by law and regulation the so-called duopoly of google and facebook valued at just under two trillion dollars between them control thirty five percent of the six hundred billion dollar global advertising market. Not to mention evermore of our personal lives. This is harvard. Professor emeritus shoshana zubov in the documentary. The social dilemma. Facebook discover that they were able to affect real world behavior and emotions without ever triggering. The users awareness. They are completely clueless in the past. Ten days came a storm first week before last. Forty eight states and territories along with the federal trade commission filed suit against facebook that suit alleges that facebook bought up rivals with the explicit intention of stifling competition legal filings include an email from mark zuckerberg in two thousand eight in which he allegedly said quote. Better to buy than to compete. And then this past week. A second thunderclap. When texas's attorney general announced new antitrust charges against google the suit claims that google in a conspiracy with facebook abused its market power to chip away at consumer privacy protections and rig the advertising market. But if you think they trust busting senator. Sherman has come out from decades of hiding. That's not quite the case for decades. Antitrust doctrine has been fixated to the exclusion of everything else on harm to the consumer as measured by out of pocket costs social media mind control and the erosion of democracy do not fit into that calculation that sort of the traditional metric that we've used to bring antitrust cases and to really understand and measure consumer harm. It's been those price hikes that really hit consumers pockets Vossen author of the twenty two thousand nine paper. The antitrust case against facebook and illegal consultant in texas suit is on the leading edge of an evolved antitrust doctrine based on harms not necessarily inflicted at the cash register for example invasion of privacy on a grand scale. I just found it so interesting. You know why is it that the communications utility in the twenty first century that all consumers use essentially conduct something similar to surveillance. You sign up for facebook and facebook not only monitors your communications on facebook but even when i go to for example the new york times in the morning facebook is making a record of that and it is extracting from consumers the permission to basically track them across the internet. And it didn't seem obvious to that. Consumers would sign up for that proposition is something that they really liked. It's also a bit ironic. Because as i understand it. In the beginning. Facebook was favorably compared to. Let's say my space in early social network where your personal profile was at least one point. Public and facebook was theoretically an antidote to that. That's right if you go back in history you see how. Facebook entered the market with very firm. Privacy promises it got users to choose facebook over other competitors in the market and only after it gained market power and competitors exited the market. Was it finally able to extract this sort of surveillance term from consumers a large and you contract that facebook's growth goes up privacy protections straight down that's right and the fascinating thing about the new york attorney general's suit last week. Is that internal communications. Confirm that that's indeed. How facebook internally was considering strategic moves about decreasing users privacy. I don't remember another case that has been brought in a market where the price is zero and the government is deciding to defend the people based on things like a lack of innovation in the market. A lack of choice. Everybody uses facebook to stay in contact with their friends and family. And then just privacy harms.
