higher just under $38,000 or per token looking at crude oil higher yet again WTI is just under $87 per barrel and I have to fill up the tank in the beamer today So that's going to be a challenge Let's get some more color on the equity markets with Bloomberg markets corresponding pretty good Pretty much look at it Paul we got us talk about earnings first and foremost of course we gotta talk about Microsoft coming out with a beat on the earnings but most importantly they're Asia cloud computing services coming out with a 46% sales growth increase yesterday post market They were punished for that down 5% after hours I didn't get that at all But the expectation was that they would hit like 50 or more essentially very very high expectations and then this morning a lot of analysts coming out Wall Street research saying well they're actually going to continue to grow just perhaps not at the same pace as before and that actually gave the stock a little bit of a tailwind MSFT's or take her up just shy of 6% in the premarket Let's see though if those gains hold into the open several other earnings stories coming out this morning Let's start with Kimberly Clark here kms your ticker down just shy of 6% in the pre market after saying it's fourth quarter profit was hurt by rising costs and provided financial forecasts that fell short of what Wall Street had expected This is something that you're going to hear from a lot of those consumer Staples companies that perhaps haven't been able to pass on costs that will offset some of those supply chain issues So something to watch there as move ahead just for comparison Procter & Gamble came out with their earnings and said the opposite They said that they were able to kind of offset those costs because of their margins Let's move on to Corning here G L W is your ticker up 11% This is the company that makes those screens on your smartphones the glass screens essentially but I always seem to crash somehow because my dog always chews on him But Corning shares up 11% in the pre market trading this comes after they record them in New York Is that right Tom Corning is in Corning Corning is in corn in New York which is near Elmira with a strangest ice rink in America Right It's a geodesic dome and the lights go up You can't see the puck on the ice Okay see That was ancient history I don't have to ring still there but Okay We're sliding of any hockey rink in the world How did Corning end up being in Corning Corny science and engineering in western New York This is the same as Bausch and lamb and Rochester and a lot of Engineering is they came out of New York City It's the longer this is a whole different upstate New York than the perception it now And it was the group at corn and the dead And of course the modern courting is the glassworks and is the glass on the iPhones and all that Gotcha I tell you that's it See Tom has the trivia for us True I lived it I mean you know I mean route 17 is that the road done through the worst road in America Is it Okay Yeah it puts Pennsylvania to share Well I've got two more for you Can we go bear with me here Let's talk about a railroad 'cause we're talking about the couple days about Norfolk Southern MSCs your ticker down 1.7% in the premarket but they actually delivered 13% greater profit in the fourth quarter even though the amount of cargo it transported decline and it was all because they were able to raise their rates So an interesting earnings story there I'm going to end here with TE Connectivity TL is your ticker down 1.7% This is a stock that is close to my heart because this was one of my very first stock picks in college when we pitched stocks back in the day The investment committee by the way invested in the stock Let me just say that This is at the university Virginia Virginia This is GameStop It was tea activity Smart women's securities chat out But it was essentially a college club that invested in stocks Anyways they logged higher profit and sales in their latest quarter driven by growth in their industrials and communication segments That being said though TL down just shift 2% What's interesting is both that in Norfolk Southern beat their earnings but their stocks are getting punished So that's good You got your diploma and they just sit here Here's the door What's your hurry Yeah Pretty much How did you do with your stock picks at school Well tea you can activity was the one is my pride and joy because no one heard about the company and I made the pick No one's listening is just my Friends Well they were this was I think back when the shares were at like $62 or something I think they're now over a hundred If I'm thinking correctly But back in the day they were just diving into medical equipment and so my question what was your dog that you had In college Yeah What was the stock pick that you had in college that went down in flames Oh PepsiCo was my one that didn't work Very good If ever I'm on my high horse you just whisper in my ear Westinghouse I remember that Pretty good but thank you so much This is a conversation today for me I'm going to get up on my anagram that's going to understand why I'm doing this Paul I look carefully at the media coverage of Microsoft earnings yesterday I thought Bloomberg did a great job top live and you know the whole thing and the clothes and television You know what The street just loves sexy names They want to talk Netflix Netflix Netflix Apple Apple Apple on a rug Why does Microsoft get no love Is it that boring of a company I mean to me it's not voting it's just growing at 20% or close to 20% for a company that's one third the size of the software market So for me it's actually one of the most exciting stocks that I cover How does that develop move the needle I mean how when you're that size that scope Do you go 20% 10% 5% two and a half percent Or how do you sustain that growth rate I think what they've done over the last ten years is phenomenal They have invested so aggressively in all the next generation technologies So whatever you want to do going forward for the next ten years they really have a strong portfolio of products over there And they obviously in cloud infrastructure they are the only competitor They only big competitive to Amazon Frankly on their continued applications portfolio they don't have that much competition out there from anybody I think Salesforce is the only credible competitor often Interesting It's a part of the last ten years And that was just these failed 28.4% per year I know it's just crazy So honor on when we think about Microsoft this is one of the great I think in technology one of the great reinvention stories I've seen Obviously they were The Office They were software And then for a long time they were kind of nowhere There wasn't really a growth cattle but then boy the cloud business has just been extraordinary for them How are they positioned within the cloud versus Amazon and alphabet and all the others So as we have mentioned and talked about et cetera several times Paul there are two elements of cloud One is the infrastructure business and the other is the application And they are the only company that has the strong suite of both Amazon's very strong good infrastructure but they don't have enterprise applications the size of what Oracle does or SAP does or Salesforce.

Um, Yeah, I was just calling you recently The National Archives had a task force on racism, and one of the recommendations that came out of it was removing the words Charters of freedom. And describing the display they have for the U. S Constitution, The bill of rights and the Declaration of Independence. I think it's outrageous, but I just wanted to get your thoughts. Yeah, I read that, too. And you're right. I mean, that is ridiculous. Over the Constitution of the U. S. There's nothing racial about that at all. I mean, you gotta figure when these guys wrote it back. Then there were slaves and blacks were considered slaves and inferior people and everything, but there's nothing that they wrote. Into the Constitution or the declaration of independence or anything. Of that nature. That's racial by any means. And we have evolved as a people. I mean, it took many. Many took several 100 years to do it, but we did it or a couple of 100. And it was done. And it's happened but Yeah, Same thing. This is something a little disturbing to me here.

For college. Sheikh Mohammed. You've heard that name before, and four other defendants. And they were arraigned back in 2012. And they could face the death penalty if convicted. And for the relatives of 9 11 victims. The development out of Gitmo brings yet more grief and an already difficult week and Um, it's well, they say a new stab in the heart. And you just wonder why has it taken 20 years? Two. For these people, they've been alive and been supported. Fed by us and everything else down there at Guantanamo Bay. And they're just now getting around. Trying them and they say, and they might face the death penalty. They should be put to a very painful death. There's no doubt about that. And why it's taken so long to do anything about it is ridiculous. And I mean that named College Sheikh Mohammed. You've heard that before. Uh, and it's incredible. And of course we know that And in exchange for the name. Bergdahl Bowe. Bergdahl. Yeah, Bergdahl that we Had to trade Guys from Gitmo four and They've gone back into The Taliban. And the worst part about the Bo Bergdahl situation. If I'm remembering correctly, is he deserted his post. He deserted his post. So he put other Yeah, us lives in danger. Military members lives in danger to go search for him. And then the trade where you're trading, uh, terrorists for him. You're absolutely right, Jack. There's so many elements to that.

"Virginia is an assistant professor of machine learning at carnegie mellon university virginia. Welcome to the podcast. Thanks thanks so much for having me. I am looking forward to diving into our conversation. We are going to be focusing on federated learning and some other topics but before we do. I'd love to have you share a little bit about your background and how you came to work in the fields. Yeah absolutely so. I think a Enjoyed math always wanted to take as many math classes that they could. But i think one question i had health really put this map to us and just before my senior year undergrad. I took my first computer science class and absolutely loved it. And that's kind of what i wanted to focus in on in my phd. Something at the intersection of of computer science and math and i think she mining a really natural fit in my hd. There was around the time. I started a lot of excitement around big data deep learning with author taking often so there was a lot of focus on how to make models more accurate than how to make them more efficient and that was kind of what i focused on in. My phd is techniques for distributed learning and distributed optimization so taking a lot of the machine learning methods we knew in love in the small scale setting in getting them to work across. Large data center is a massive amounts of data since then in my research. Is it as well as a lot of other researchers. I realized that big data is not just big. It's also very complex. There's a lot more than just efficiency and accuracy so a lot of my recent work has has been focusing on other constraints as well things like robustness and fairness and privacy. One application that. I think really makes these points salient. In brown's these ideas is application federated. Learning where the goal is to go beyond the data center and train across networks of monroe devices or across. Private data silos like across different organizations..

I have to imagine the first if not the only one of the first schools of data science in the country. Yes there's very few commitment set the level of a school. i think we would i It's hard to say because at people described themselves but We didn't a hierarchy of academic organizations School is a big deal and certainly we will want him to i their number when we start even when we started in two thousand thirteen which was before i got here The institute at that time the word that many institutes now is literally a hundreds of initiatives around the country bearing ilk ranging from You know just something.

While i think that's that's really interesting From a food science point of view The first way that listeria acquires tolerance is the reason why when you have a bacterial infection your doctor tells you to the entire doses of the antibiotic because you don't want any of them. Done is just wounded them right out. That's that's one way now. The long term exposure. Oh i don't know how you get around that except by rotating and mixing it up so that you can skim some generations so yeah i think the research is important I think this is an open door. Now to two companies that produce sanitizers to maybe think outside the box and and try and develop some some new chemicals or new new tools for the industry to us when we posted this online. I certainly saw some engagement with the story. And also from people who are selling said saying and we've got recommendations on how to rotate stuff so it is a long establish protocol but really understanding and then how long does it take to for them to To develop for susceptibility to to to To return so it is as you say important research. And in another note. One of the funders for this research is the center for produce safety. We also did annoy your story on our website about how they are seeking there in the middle of a funding campaign to raise fifty million dollars to fund their research.
