Friction between liberal ideology and tribal sovereignty comes to the fore – Washington Examiner

Posted on by

Last weeks decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in McGirt v. Oklahoma was not the biggest news item out of the highest court in the land either today or this session. But conservatives should pay attention because it shows a schism between legal thinking and policy attitudes on the part of liberals that is highly relevant to todays debates over race, American history, and minority rights.

The Supreme Court just recognized, in clear and uncertain terms, the principle of Native American tribal sovereignty, and it was the liberal justices, plus Justice Neil Gorsuch, who did so. This is interesting because, in a number of policy battles in recent years, liberals have proved eager to trample on that principle to bank left-of-center policy wins.

This is true all over the policy spectrum but especially in the realm of energy development. A June 2015 Government Accountability Office study determined that under President Barack Obama, shortcomings on the part of the Bureau of Indian Affairs hindered Indian energy development. In one case, the bureau was alleged to have taken 18 months to review a wind lease, a delay that resulted in the project proving unable to move forward, resulting in a loss of revenue for the tribe.

Another case involved a delay in permitting that arose under Obama (although documents had been originally submitted to the bureau under President George W. Bush), causing a tribe to lose an estimated $95 million in revenue.

In another case, the bureau took more than three years to review and approve a utility-scale wind project. In that dynamic, fast-growing, and fast-changing sector, it should be little surprise that the delay hindered the tribes ability to turn wind into energy and profit, as liberals routinely champion the public doing.

The Obama administration, of course, also blocked tribes from mining coal on their own land. So did Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who tried to put a hold on coal exports, which negatively affected the Crow Nation, the land of which holds up to 9 billion tons of coal. Without being able to tap that resource, the Crow Nation's unemployment has made COVID-19 jobless rates look like a walk in the park.

Liberals have also sought to negate or weaken tribal sovereignty in instances in which financial services are concerned because tribes cleverly figured out that by moving into areas such as short-term, online lending, they could fill a gap in the financial services marketplace and bring more money into tribal coffers.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, created under Obama and vigorously defended by most Democrats and especially the most liberal ones, has pursued cases against tribal lenders based on what they claim are high rates of interest attached to such loans. Tribal lenders certainly felt targeted by the Obama Justice Departments Operation Choke Point, which appeared to be engaging in very heavy-handed tactics to shut down lending operations of the type in which tribes have become involved.

Obama also designated Bears Ears as a national monument. This has been depicted by many liberals as a decision in line with Native American wishes, but that is not a universally held view among tribes in the relevant area.

Under Obama, the Bureau of Indian Affairs also blocked Washington states Chehalis tribe from distilling alcohol on their land. That ban on alcohol distilleries on tribal lands, including those belonging to the Chehalis, which emanated from an 1834 law, was only reversed through passage and signing into law of HR 5317 in 2018, when Republicans had full control of Congress and the White House.

None of this is to argue that Republicans or conservatives are better than liberals or Democrats on perhaps the most important issue to Native Americans, although Native Americans, I know, were gratified by President Trumps 2018 indication to tribal leaders that they should go ahead with energy exploration on their lands, which evidenced a recognition of tribal sovereignty at the highest level if not a deep understanding of the current federal government administrative decision-making process.

But there is great friction on this important issue, which in turn affects economic activity on tribal lands, within the Democratic Party.

Liberals are going to need to determine which takes priority: the self-determination rights of Americas first inhabitants, who virtually everyone can agree were not well-treated by our ancestors or banking policy wins in areas such as energy or financial services by wielding an anti-sovereignty federal bureaucracy and federal regulations that many Native Americans see as having effectively become tools of racist oppression.

Beyond the Crossroads – bellacaledonia.org.uk

Posted on by

Last week Conter published a piece by my colleague comrade and columnist George Kerevan SNP At the Crossroads which was met with much praise. Whilst some of it presented a critique of the SNPs political limitations that are self-evident and true, other aspects of the argument seemed deeply problematic and confused.

Kerevans argument laid out important questions about strategies for the left in Scotland and beyond in times of a resurgent populist right and in the context of the oncoming economic crisis created by the cornona virus. These are predicaments faced by progressive and radical forces way beyond these shores. As Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri write in Assembly:

Today we are living in a phase of transition, which requires questioning some of our basic political assumptions. Rather than asking only how to take power we must also ask what kind of power we want and, perhaps more important, who we want to become.

First its worth acknowledging that there is much to agree with in Kerevans analysis. That there is clear evidence of a split between a conservative party hierarchy and the mass movement cant be denied. That the SNP government is enthrall to big business interests in oil, agribusiness, property, and banking is demonstrably, and tragically true. That the political leadership of the SNP being run by a married couple is deeply unhealthy is self-evident. That the SNP has grown a party bureaucracy over the years that often looks like a Mandelsonian New Labour party with its ruthless efficiency discipline and slick messaging is also true.

But things become a little bit hazy when describing the SNPs lurch to the right. Kerevan both describes Salmonds roots in the banking sector and his own reassurance to The Times in 2007, on the eve of the RBS collapse: We are pledging a light-touch regulation suitable to a Scottish financial sector with its outstanding reputation for probity and mythologises the SNP under Salmond.

He describes Salmonds promise of a low-tax Scotland and courting major business donors like Tom Farmer and Brian Souter (though he ignores Salmonds earlier courting of Donald Trump). So the misty-eyed nostalgia for earlier radical SNP seem peculiar in this context.

As a Marxist in the SNP, much of Kerevans analysis seems like someone who has gone to the Zoo and is complaining its not a Circus. It does say Zoo on the gate.

The recent round of frustration about the lack of progress towards independence, the lack of a focused campaign, and the doldrums the SNP seems to be in are all valid and real, but they have led to some truly bizarre imaginary scenarios. Most of these centre around Salmonds semi-mythical status as the new King Across the Water come to vanquish the Pretender and lead us to the Promised Land. Much of this is the harmless obsession of people living out fantasies in their social media bubble and in their sealed sub-culture. Emboldened by Kerevans writing Jason McCann writes Our best option for gaining both independence and class justice is in the formation of a list party, a party that will bolster support for independence in Holyrood and represent the working-class movement. Echoing Kerevan, McCann writes: The movement for independence of 2014, as it remains still, was predominantly a left-leaning movement led from below by individuals and local groups which were socialist almost by default.

Of course they were no such thing. This sort of vivid re-writing of history is absurd but it feeds the exceptionalism that can be found in some elements of the movement.

Kerevan himself writes: It seems unlikely that Salmond plans a return to the leadership role, though some see him as the ideal figure to lead a new, non-party umbrella body to lead the independence campaign.

Were not told who exactly thinks he would be ideal or how exactly this would work in practice.

This is quite difficult to process but it does raise significant questions for socialists and left strategists that they should advocate the return to leadership of a man very recently on trial for serious sexual assault. There are three aspects to this. The first is that its important to accept and recognise that Salmond was found Not Guilty of twelve charges of attempted rape, sexual assault and indecent assault and Not Proven on one charge of sexual assault with intent to rape. The second is that it seems incredible that there is no mention of Salmonds conduct in office in this assessment at all. It is completely glossed over as if none of it happened. As socialists surely the members of Conter have to also show some solidarity with women in this whole scenario? None is evident here. Thirdly there seems to be no recognition about how Salmonds conduct and the revelations that spilled out into the public glare plays with the wider voting public. Instead: some see him as the ideal figure to lead a new, non-party umbrella body to lead the independence campaign. Salmond was found Not Guilty but this doesnt mean that his conduct wasnt abhorrent, and the idea that he can be presented as a leader in some progressive force lacks credibility or decency.

Jacobin Tendency

There is a sort of binary simplism that runs through much of this and other analysis of the movements conflicts. Sturgeon is denounced for not attending the All Under One Banner rallies which are deemed radical because they are working class. Yet no analysis is done of what those rallies and matches amount to. These events were almost all characterised by their complete absence of any politics at all. For years they would host the same handful of speakers. In fact while important symbolically to have a presence on the streets and to bind the movement internally they were characterised by their almost total absence of politics and could have been, and could be so much more. What the purpose of these marches was, or why they were considered so important is not considered.

Kerevan is at his most nostalgic looking back to the Jacobin Tendency of the 1970s. He writes the SNP began as a movement rather than a party, and for decades focused on mass campaigning and remembers the illegal, pirate radio station (Radio Free Scotland) which ran from 1956 through to the early 1970s. Kerevan recalls: In 1981, the party conference voted by a large majority to launch a campaign of political strikes and civil disobedience on a mass scale against the Thatcher government. The campaign (dubbed the Scottish Resistance) was led by Jim Sillars, the SNPs then Vice-Chair for Policy. On 16 October 1981, Sillars led a group of SNP activists breaking into the former Royal High School in Edinburgh, which had been converted to be home for the aborted Scottish Assembly. They intended to read out a declaration on what the Scottish Assembly would have done to counter Thatcherite policies. But Sillars was arrested and later fined.

He asks: Clearly something has altered to eliminate this Jacobin tendency. Yes, its called massive unprecedented historic electoral success.

Kerevans fondness for the rebellious days of the 1950, 60s and 70s is understandable. But absent from these memories is the fact that the SNP was a tiny marginal political force for much of this period, and if you read the political content of the SNP over this period it is hardly characterised by its radical socialism. In fact for large parts of this period Scottish nationalism was characterised by its conservatism, being wedded to the kirk and to the monarchy and to having very little political clout or clarity beyond a demand for sovereignty.

At the heart of these contradictions is the problem that some on the nationalist left are attached to a 19th C theory of change whilst also being part of a political party that seeks to hold office.

Kerevan is quite right to argue that the British state is not going to cede power without pressure exerted from all sides and that the need for bold innovation radical leadership and action is essential.

There is no doubt that there is little sign of such action from the current SNP leadership and yet they remain, stubbornly resurgent in all polling for Holyrood and Westminster and are also leading voting intention for Yes into prolonged and uncharted highs. It seems highly likely that coming out of the coronavirus crisis (assuming that we do), that campaigning for independence will re-start with a new intensity. Those within the SNP who require and demand leadership can begin to exert real pressure in the run up to the Holyrood elections and those outwith the SNP in the wider Yes movement can also begin to mobilise again. But the latter must have the intention of engaging with a wider public not navel-gazing and mythologising their own sub culture.

This the real division in the movement, between those who have long-ago given up on the task of persuading others and engaging a general public, and those who remain committed to that task. The often repeated mantra that a Section 30 Order will never be given is a convenient story told by those who have no credible alternative but allows them to indulge in a series of fantasies.

As Gerry Hassan has recently written: We must not imagine that there are easy escape routes such as gaming the Scottish Parliament electoral system, UDI or an unofficial referendum. Instead we need to think about the Scotland not yet convinced of the merits of independence and understand and respect it, while trying to win people over. This point in our collective history requires leadership from all of us. Not just from Nicola Sturgeon or in having unconditional faith and loyalty in Sturgeons leadership. Rather it is about recognising the big picture and the stakes we are playing for.

There are four elements which come together to sow confusion in Kerevans analysis; the uncritical fetishization of the working class; the romanticisation of acts of rebellion even when it has no impact; and the hangover from old socialist thinking of putting too much emphasis on The Leader, rather than build leadership from below. Finally the tendency to look forward to a single moment in the future at which point All Will Change rather than to create the conditions and shift the ground now is characteristic.

There are different tendencies and energies within the Yes movement from radical and progressive and even visionary through to liberal and even reactionary. To ignore this simple reality seems odd.

This is not to say that the creation of a self-determining Scotland will not be a huge rupture. It will lead to the disintegration of the British state and the battle to make that a radical and progressive process will continue before during and after that moment. There will have to be extra-parliamentary action, NVDA and protest to exert the pressure required to force change, but always looking up to a political party for leadership is a mistaken tactic and outlook. Pressure from within the party can have some impact and the repetition that this is somehow impossible is disingenuous. Equally a more critical reflection on the basis of the movement with energy put into protest and innovating around forms of action and radicalising the politics of the movement would be much more beneficial than wondering why social democratic tendencies werent acting out revolutionary strategies. Rather than seeing the crossroads as a choice between established paths it might be time to go off-road altogether and creating new pathways forward to independence.

That might mean shedding some baggage of ideology and being open to radical new circumstances, possibilities and realities. In fact there can (and undoubtedly should be) a return to political strikes and civil disobedience on a mass scale that Kerevan eulogises. But to achieve that would require a critical not an unquestioning reflection on the movement and the building of bridges across social movements, showing solidarity with black lives matter and the anti-racist struggles, with the peace movement, with radical housing activists and trade unionists and feminists. Radicalising and deepening the movement may be a point of unity going forward to achieve independence and self-determination.

The end is now in sight for the fight to preserve west basin – The Canberra Times

Posted on by

comment,

We are now approaching D-Day for West Basin and it is time to set the record straight. Walter Burley Griffin designed a lake surrounded by park lands that was finally constructed in the 1960s by Menzies' NCDC. The construction retained the Griffins' well-balanced arrangement of three central basins but adjusted the lake's delineation in several areas, including all three basins, to respect natural contours and have decent water flow. Sections of the lake and parklands were reserved for public recreation while the central basin captured the monumentality of the national capital. Landscape and vistas were critical in all of the 20th century Canberra planning until ACT self-government. Following the formation of the ACT Territory Government a development push erupted that turned the heads of both Federal and ACT politicians. Government planners followed the instructions of their politicians to sell and develop over Canberra's best and most beautifully designed lake-landscape asset. Yes Minister-style bureaucrats distorted the historic planning by the Griffins' and the NCDC, and continually besmirch heritage values with exaggerated spin. West Basin's distinctive horseshoe shape is to be changed to something akin to a fat tadpole half the size of east basin. Vistas will be lost, as well as public parkland. Lake Burley Griffin, and its parklands, have national significance. They should be protected for future generations. Yet our present governments have triumphantly accepted lake destruction in exchange for dollars in the kitty. There is now no end to this unfortunate future for the lake and the parklands. Recent reports indicate the Fyshwick Recycling Centre will accept mixed waste of unknown content and unknown origin. Apparently, after sorting and separating, the residual 80 per cent of the waste received goes to Veolia Woodlawn landfill 70km away in NSW. This is at the cost of Mugga Lane, established ACT recycling facilities, and all ACT ratepayers. The transfer terminal has the capacity to handle 400,000 tonnes of waste per year, most probably sourced from across the border. Waste to Energy incineration at Ipswich St is to be the second Environmental Impact Statement to come, as was noted in the application to government for this first one. The new Australian Made symbol, supposedly wattle with AU in the middle is not a decent representation for the country. The image looks nothing like wattle (it has been compared to a coronavirus) and AU could mean Australia or Austria. And apparently it took years and millions of dollars to come up with this unrealistic image. The stylised kangaroo used on products is known worldwide and is easily recognised as being Australian. There is no need to include "AU". The flying kangaroo on Qantas jets identifies them as Australian. If the symbol needed to be changed, which it didn't, the community should have been consulted, a competition run, and businesses that already use the stylised kangaroo asked for input. The kangaroo is Australian as they come, leave it alone. Re: "Poor uptake of government's affordable housing" (June 27, p 4). This is not at all surprising given that most of the one and two-bedroom dwellings have not been any more affordable than similar dwellings available commercially. Why on earth would you bother with the government's scheme? The best thing the government could do would be to make land more affordable than is currently the case. The prices are ridiculous in the Molonglo Valley. Families particularly are looking for three and four-bedroom homes. If land prices were more reasonable a lot of families would be using the Federal government's $25,000 and building a house. Re: "No Corona virus detected in Canberra sewage for the month of May" (canberratimes.com.au, July 6). "While June's sewage results are still pending, Dr Lal said researchers had a high degree of confidence no coronavirus would be present in samples". What great news. But is Dr Lal saying it will not detect the known case of COVID-19 in a foreign diplomat who flew into Canberra early June and was allowed to quarantine at his home in Weston Creek? If the testing picks up on this known case I will have much more confidence in this type of community virus detection. Until then I remain cautiously optimistic. Note to ACT MLAs: When you have finished bickering about what you may, and may not, put on your social media ("Liberal MLA suspended over TikTok video gaffe", July 3, p3) you might like to remind yourselves that the taxpayers of the ACT pay you handsomely to do meaningful work. An MLA's base salary is $168,492, about twice average weekly earnings. If you are short of meaningful work, on any day you have more than enough reason to repeal the unit-title surcharges and refund the moneys wrongly taken through their application. When you are finished with that there are serious problems identified in the 2012 Quinlan report on ACT taxes that remain unaddressed or have been made worse. A big thank you to the wonderful people who helped me on Monday when I smashed my head on the pavement as I fell at Hughes shops. Despite the bitter cold, people covered me with their jackets and scarves until an ambulance arrived. The hospital too, took very good care of me. Lots of tests. Head, heart and hips. All okay. I was discharged at 4pm. Thank you everybody. I hope that all states and territories are busy drafting clear communications and translating them into dozens of languages in anticipation of the many possible scenarios that this epidemic may throw up. As COVID-19 cuts a swathe through our normal lives, we cannot add to the misery of people by not communicating with them in an appropriate and timely manner. It does not surprise me that the planning authority took 503 days to make a wrong decision ("Fight, you might win," Letters, 8 July). Eight years ago it amended the Territory Plan. It claimed that it did not need to consult with the minister because it had "merely relocated provisions". The authority apparently did not realise that Ben Ponton had already placed on record, in Notifiable Instrument 2012-622, that the amendment also created new codes, and added 127 new "precinct maps". For over six years it has maintained its cover-up, consistently refusing to correct its false claim. Greg Cornwell (Letters, July 9), was shocked at pictures of the 3000-population high-rise public housing "ghettos" in Melbourne. The problems stem from a chronic under-funding of public housing over the last 50 years which has resulted in public housing progressively become welfare housing. Consideration should be given to redirecting the capital gains tax and negative gearing concessions, effectively middle-class welfare, to the construction of social housing. We have just received the latest (June 2020) edition of "Our CBR" that includes the usual "message from the Chief Minister". In it, Mr Barr states that there has been support for households which included a $150 rates rebate and the freezing of a range of Government fees and charges, which is on top of failing electricity prices due to the Government's investments in renewables. Is this the same as the failing petrol price watch in the ACT that our Chief Minister promised months ago, or were they both just "typos"? Rory McElligott (Letters, July 9, asks what has happened to the subs that were supposed to be built locally . Someone must have seen the light, as our previous experience in building the Collins class subs here proved to be an unmitigated disaster, and we ended up with submersible white elephants. Subs are the last thing Australia needs, but if we have to have them we should at least ensure that they are fit for purpose using proven technology. Once bitten, twice shy. As an older Canberran, and one whose father and grandfather were both policemen, I hope the AFP will now be permitted to scrutinize self isolation and general public compliance to the level that should have been taken. So far I have felt that the police have been muzzled by an unseen "body". I was astonished to hear Queensland police are concerned Victorian holiday makers may be smuggled across the border in the backs of trucks. Then I realised, that's where Peter Dutton lives and then it all made sense. Stop the trucks. Mate against mate, State against State. How quickly we all turn on each other during a crisis. People who think they may have COVID-19 get tested. Then they go travelling interstate anyway. Why? Come on everyone, use your commonsense. I'm looking at you, Victorians. While I have despaired about the way our Chief Minister has encouraged the systematic destruction of the ethos of our city since he came to power, I can only applaud the way he has stubbornly protected the health of the ACT community during the COVID-19 crisis. He has my full support for the way he puts the health of our citizens above all other priorities. Politicians behave too badly in Parliament to be considered essential workers. Don't let them into the ACT from Victoria. They can Zoom instead. We might get less posturing, Dorothy Dixers, and other time wasting and facetious "debate". The world is different now. Let's hope they get the memo and stay home. Since early on Wednesday morning a handsome young kangaroo, sadly deceased, lay undisturbed in a park quite near where I live. Who says the bush capital no longer exists? Where will the world find solace in the present pandemic if it loses the security blanket of being able to claim the Spanish flu outbreak was worse? The number of people expressing surprise, and complaining about lack of notice about lockdown actions, suggests many Australians must live under a stone. John Mellors (Letters, July 7) asks: "Will today's ACT Liberals ever wake up to what it takes to win an election in the ACT?" Not while the hard right, led by Senator Zed Seselja controls the party in Canberra. The government's priorities are with the wealthy. The mooted GST increase will impact food, health and education costs. The stamp duty reduction is apparently tax relief for the wealthy funded by the strugglers. Who votes for these people.

The number of people expressing surprise, and complaining about lack of notice about lockdown actions, suggests many Australians must live under a stone.

The government's priorities are with the wealthy. The mooted GST increase will impact food, health and education costs. The stamp duty reduction is apparently tax relief for the wealthy funded by the strugglers. Who votes for these people.

Big Tech went from growth stocks to Wall Street’s Treasury bond substitute during the coronavirus – CNBC

Posted on by

FAANG stocks displayed at the Nasdaq.

Adam Jeffery | CNBC

Investors and traders have historically turned to less-risky assets such as U.S. Treasurys to weather market volatility and uncertainty. During the coronavirus pandemic, however, they have turned to unlikely place: tech and software stocks.

Shares of Apple, Netflix, Microsoft, and Amazon are all trading at, or near record highs. All four of these stocks are up at least 29% for 2020 and have contributed to the Nasdaq Composite's massive outperformance over the S&P 500 this year. The Nasdaq has surged 17% this year while the S&P 500 remains down over 2% in that time period.

Wall Street flocked into these names because they believe their business models can not only weather this downturn, but thrive in it. This has led major tech and software stocks to seemingly behave like a safe haven Treasury bond, a dynamic that was apparent throughout this week.

"Clearly, the Covid cases going up around the country has gotten people into those software and internet plays," said Christian Fromhertz, CEO of Tribeca Trade Group. "These stocks are clearly the haves and it will stay that way until something changes."

The U.S. reported record numbers this week in daily coronavirus increases. On Thursday, more than 63,000 new coronavirus cases were confirmed in the U.S., according to Johns Hopkins University. The country's seven-day average of cases also jumped to more than 53,000 this week.

At the state level, Florida's coronavirus-related hospitalizations hit an all-time high. Nevada rolled back a reopening plan for bars in the state.

This grim data put stocks that would benefit from the economy reopening under pressure this week. American Airlines fell more than 8% week to date and United slid nearly 10%. Gap shares dropped more than 3% in that time period.

Big Tech once considered one of the riskiest groups in the stock market shined this week. Microsoft climbed about 3% in that time period while Netflix and Amazon popped more than 10% to record levels. Apple also hit an all-time high, jumping about 5% for the week.

These stocks rose alongside the U.S. 10-year Treasury note. The 10-year yield started the week trading around 0.7%, but later fell to trade around 0.6% (yields move inversely to prices).

Investors argue that what makes these companies so attractive during this pandemic is their steady cash flows and recurring revenues at a time when clarity around the corporate earnings landscape is minimal.

"What these companies have going for them is that whole idea of a strong balance sheet and recurring revenue," said Rebecca Felton, senior portfolio manager at Riverfront. "Recurring revenues, in this type of environment where cyclicals might fade out a bit, is really important."

"It feels right to stick with quality and growth that you think you can count on," Felton said.

Microsoft, Netflix and Amazon all have subscription-based services driving recurring revenue on a monthly or annual basis.

When the Fed forces interest rates to zero, they're gonna push investors on the risk curve to get income and growth ... If I'm going to be forced into equities, which is what the Fed's clearly doing, I'm going to own the equities that I feel the best about and large-cap tech has become a safe-haven play.

David Spika

president of GuideStone Capital Management

Last quarter, Microsoft's Office 365 users grew to more than 39 million from 37.2 million in the previous three-month period. Amazon, meanwhile, has more than 150 million paying Prime users. There are more than 180 million paying Netflix subscribers around the world.

Something else making some of these stocks attractive are high dividend yields relative to U.S. Treasurys.

According to FactSet, Apple and Microsoft currently yield 0.86% per share and 0.96%, respectively. The 10-year Treasury note, meanwhile, has a yield of around 0.6%.

To be sure, stocks are inherently riskier assets than Treasurys as they don't have the backing of the U.S. government. Treasurys also give investors a consistent interest payment until they reach maturity, whereas stock dividends are subject to cuts or suspensions at any moment.

Tech stocks also face mounting regulation risk, which could put them under pressure.Chamath Palihapitiya,founder and CEO of investment firm Social Capital, thinks this along with the possibility of higher taxes and new product experiences make for a bearish case in Facebook and Google-parent Alphabet.

"Big Tech's long term success is no longer about better products," Palihapitiya said in a Friday tweet. "They are incumbents and their success is now a multi-variate/multi-dimensional problem of competition, anti-trust, tax and regulatory multiplied by EVERY city, state, country and jurisdiction in which the operate."

Still,David Spika, president of GuideStone Capital Management, thinks using Big Tech as a safe-haven is prudent given how easy U.S. monetary policy is right now.

The Federal Reserve slashed rates to zero in March as part of an effort to support the economy during the pandemic. The U.S. central bank has also embarked on unprecedented monetary stimulus programs, including buying corporate debt.

"When the Fed forces interest rates to zero, they're gonna push investors on the risk curve to get income and growth," said Spika. "If I'm going to be forced into equities, which is what the Fed's clearly doing, I'm going to own the equities that I feel the best about and large-cap tech has become a safe-haven play."

Time will tell how long this will last and when Big Tech equities return to acting like stocks with individual risks.

Thousands of contracts highlight quiet ties between Big Tech and U.S. military – NBC News

Posted on by

Over the past two years, thousands of tech company employees have taken a stand: they do not want their labor and technical expertise to be used for projects with the military or law enforcement agencies.

Knowledge of such contracts, however, hasnt been easy for tech workers to come by.

On Wednesday, newly published research from the technology accountability nonprofit Tech Inquiry revealed that the Department of Defense and federal law enforcement agencies including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Federal Bureau of Prisons, have secured thousands of deals with Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Dell, IBM, Hewlett Packard and even Facebook that have not been previously reported.

The report offers a new window into the relationship between tech companies and the U.S. government, as well as an important detail about why such contracts are often difficult to find.

Tech Inquiry's research was led by Jack Poulson, a former Google research scientist who quit the company in 2018 after months of internal campaigning to get clarity about plans to deploy a censored version of its search engine in China called Project Dragonfly. Poulson has publicly opposed collaborations between American technology companies and the U.S. and foreign governments that aid in efforts to track immigrants, dissenters, and bolster military activity.

Poulson analyzed more than 30 million government contracts signed or modified in the past five years. The Department of Defense and federal law enforcement agencies accounted for the largest share of those contracts, with tech companies accounting for a fraction of the total number of contracts.

He found that the majority of the deals with consumer-facing tech companies involved subcontracts, a relationship in which the government contracts with one company, which in turn contracts with another company to complete obligations it doesnt have the resources to fulfill.

Procurement contracts tend to be terse, Poulson said, masking the depth of the ties between tech companies and federal law enforcement agencies and the Department of Defense.

Often the high-level contract description between tech companies and the military looks very vanilla and mundane, Poulson said in an interview. But only when you look at the details of the contract, which you can only get through Freedom of Information [Act] requests, do you see the workings of how the customization from a tech company would actually be involved.

Out of all the companies that surfaced in Tech Inquirys research, Microsoft stood out with more than 5,000 subcontracts with the Department of Defense and various federal law enforcement agencies since 2016.

Amazon has agreed to more than 350 subcontracts with the military and federal law enforcement agencies, like ICE and the FBI, since 2016, and Google has more than 250, according to Tech Inquirys analysis.

The analysis also includes contracts from two agencies under the Department of Homeland Security that arent law-enforcement related, specifically U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Science and Technology Directorate.

Google Cloud spokesperson Ted Ladd said in a statement that the company is proud to work with many federal agencies across the U.S. government.

We remain committed to partnering with the government on projects that are consistent with our terms of service, acceptable use policies, and AI Principles, Ladd said.

Microsoft declined to comment for the article and Amazon did not respond to questions from NBC News.

Russell Goemaere, a spokesperson for the Department of Defense, said it works with a variety of companies to meet its needs.

"We partner with organizations across DoD from the services and components to combatant commands and defense agencies to rapidly prototype, deliver, and scale advanced commercial solutions that save lives, inspire new operational concepts, increase efficiency, and save taxpayer dollars," Goemaere said in an email.

Silicon Valley is well-positioned to subcontract with more traditional military contractors that lack the cloud and data processing capabilities of companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Google.

Examining these contracts and subcontracts, the brief descriptions of services includes cloud storage, databases, app support, administrative tools and logistics analysis.

Cloud solutions and storage for large government clients, however, isnt the type of thing that can be bought off the shelf. Government cloud services are typically tailored to meet the security needs of the agency, according to Poulson, who worked as a professor of mathematics at Stanford University prior to his research role at Google.

Poulson's experience at Google helped inform his research.

In 2018, Google workers staged a protest of defense work over Project Maven, an initiative with the Department of Defense for Google to build artificial intelligence that tracks moving targets for drones. The project spurred thousands of Google employees to sign an internal petition. Some quit in protest.

None of Project Maven's contracts mentioned Google at all, Poulson said, and it was only through employee whistleblowing and investigative journalism that Googles involvement became known.

Googles work with Maven was orchestrated through a subcontract with ECS Federal, a U.S. defense contractor that provides technology services to arms of the Department of Defense and various federal agencies. But just because Google promised not to renew its contract doesn't mean Google products werent still used for the drone project.

Googles senior vice president for global affairs, Kent Walker, reportedly said in an email to employees last year that another technology company that he didnt name will instead use off-the-shelf Google Cloud Platform (basic compute service, rather than Cloud AI or other Cloud Services) to support some workloads for Maven.

Meredith Whittaker, co-founder of the AI Now Institute at New York University and a former Google employee who also organized protests at the company, said Maven showed how tech companies can work on defense projects while keeping the footprint of their involvement limited.

As we saw in the case of Maven, Dragonfly and other products, once people create a modular component in a tech company, theres really no way to track where that goes, Whittaker said.

Poulson had to navigate layers of obscurity in analyzing the contracts.

The majority of Microsoft's arrangements examined in the report arent directly made to Microsoft, but rather through a network of subcontractors that most people have never heard of or at least wouldnt think to include in a list of military tech providers, including well-known companies like Dell but also far more unrecognized companies such as CDW Corporation, Insight Enterprises and Minburn Technology Group.

Much of Amazon's subcontracting is through firms like Four Points Technology, JHC Technology and ECS Federal. Google also works with ECS federal as well as other lesser-known companies such as The Daston Corporation, DLT Solutions, Eyak Technology and Dnutch Associates. On April 16, ECS Federal announced a newly expanded partnership with Google Cloud to include integrations with Google Analytics and Google Maps. Later that month, ECS Federal received a new $83 million contract for prototyping artificial intelligence platforms for the Army.

Its not clear if Google is a subcontracted partner in the recent U.S. Army contract.

Later, in May, after hiring Josh Marcuse, the executive director of the Defense Department's Defense Innovation Board, as head of strategy and innovation at Google for the global public sector, Google Cloud announced a new partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit to to build a secure cloud management solution to detect, protect against, and respond to cyber threats worldwide.

Tech Inquiry's research comes as technology companies have ramped up efforts to win large military and law enforcement contracts, despite employee activism against the work.

Microsoft and Amazon are currently locked in a court battle over the future of the high profile $10 billion Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure contract, also known as JEDI, which was awarded to Microsoft in December 2019 to build cloud solutions for the Pentagon. The award was immediately contested by Amazon, claiming Microsoft was favored because of Trumps political grievances with Amazons owner, Jeff Bezos, who also owns the Washington Post.

Over the past two years, rank-and-file workers at Amazon have steadily protested the companys deals with federal and local law enforcement, specifically addressing its facial recognition contracts with police and the companys cloud services used by Palantir, which builds databases for ICE.

Amazon has been responsive to employee activism around climate change, but has resisted calls to stop working with ICE. In 2018, Bezos said the company had no plans to stop working with the Department of Defense.

Microsoft employees likewise petitioned the company to drop its $19.4 million contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement after the company boasted in a blogpost in 2018 that it was proud to support ICE and that its software allows ICE to utilize deep learning capabilities to accelerate facial recognition and identification of immigrants.

Microsoft President Brad Smith has defended his company's defense work.

But the tension with tech workers remains, Whittaker said.

Its important to recognize that the marketing that happens inside of these companies, assuring workers that what theyre doing is good and that their surveillance program is used for disaster relief and not drone targeting, for instance, is much like the marketing targeted at the public, she said

As Big Techs relationship with American military and law enforcement operations continues to blossom, examining the history of the tech industry reveals that the ties are more endemic to Silicon Valley than todays crop of executives often acknowledge.

Silicon Valley has always been in the business of war, said Margart OMara, a historian of the technology industry and a professor at the University of Washington. And the specific process of contracting and subcontracting with the military is familiar in the Valley too, dating back to the 1950s and 60s.

Lockheed Martin, formerly Lockheed, which has long been among the largest military contractors in the country, was the biggest employer in Silicon Valley until the 1980s, OMara said.

Once personal computers became a consumer product, a new cohort of Silicon Valley innovators sought to distance themselves from the military industrial complex, she said.

One of the main reasons tech became so adamant about thinking differently and emphasizing how theyre a new style of enterprise, is because tech was so closely intertwined with the military. This is also how consumer-facing companies recruit and retain highly-skilled employees who dont want to work for the military, OMara said.

But the defense business clearly never went away.

Pittsburgh Big tech companies are flocking to Pittsburgh. The foundation was laid over decades – Technical.ly Pittsburgh – Technical.ly

Posted on by

A technology communitys resources and homegrown talent define its identity, but to reach a bigger stage it will ultimately need to attract others to its cause.

So, in Pittsburgh, it was viewed as a turning point when Google came to the city. Opening an office within Carnegie Mellon University in 2006 that was helmed by a professor it hired from the institution, the big tech company grew the office to 150 employees that led it to open a new office in Bakery Square in 2011.

It was a landmark of economic transformation, anchoring the redevelopment of a former Nabisco factory that now also housesUniversity of Pittsburghs Swanson School of Engineering. And UPMC Enterprises,the universitys venture arm that is committing $1 billion to new life sciences investments, is there, too.

Google was committed because they saw the kind of talent that was coming out of CMU, said Audrey Russo, president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Tech Council. It set up a playbook: You get as close as you can to people doing the research and graduating from the best schools. Its something that turned the corner for the region.

The move was also the beginning of a wave of tech companies putting down roots in the city. Facebook moved a team focused on virtual reality, and just opened new offices in the Strip District. In the same area, Uber launched its Advanced Technologies Group in 2015, adding a prominent name to the list of five companies testing self-driving cars on the citys streets in the ensuing years. In fact, the Big 5 are all there: Apple andMicrosoft and Amazon, too, each having grown since planting a flag. Self-driving startup Argo AI brought its own big players to town in a way, as well, recently landing $7 billion from automakers Ford Motor Company and Volkswagen. The company is planning to take more space in the Strip District with an additional 65,000 square feet.

Autonomous vehicle company Aptiv also rolled in, announcing recently that it would move its offices to Hazelwood Green, a development on a former steel mill site along the along the Monongahela River.

It hasnt slowed down even with the COVID-19 pandemic closing offices. Zoom, which has become a household name for videoconferencing in a time of remote work, announced in May that it it will set up a research and development center in Pittsburgh, with plans to split 500 employees between here and Phoenix. In this case, there doesnt even need to be a splashy office opening: The company planned to begin recruiting software engineers who will initially work from home until at least fall of 2020.

As July arrived, software company Mindera said it would expand in the U.S. with a second office in Pittsburgh, with plans to add to an employee base of 500 people in locations like San Diego as well as the U.K., Portugal and India. Itll be based in the Pittsburgh Innovation District, a neighborhood-level tech hub in Oakland where companies are moving in around the knowledge centers of CMU and Pitt.

With each of these moves, talent has been a central part of the equation. While HQs remain elsewhere, these Pittsburgh offices are heavily engineering offices, drawing from a unique cluster of talent thats centered around CMUs expertise in artificial intelligence and robotics. It even showed up in Zooms press release:

With our visionary faculty and exceptionally talented students, Carnegie Mellon is catalyzing revolutionary work to accelerate digital transformation across markets and industries, and we look forward to partnering with Zoom to enhance their remarkable momentum in defining the future of virtual interactions, said CMU President Farnam Jahanian.

And again in Mindera: Mary Lockwood, managing director for the U.S., cited the level of technical talent in the city as well as its welcoming environment and emphasis on partnership as the reasons the company is expanding here.

And again as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company would choose Pittsburgh as one of the markets to expand on a wave of remote work hires.

As ambitious projects like Bakery Square and Hazelwood Green show, tech expansion is part of a wave of redevelopment taking place across the city. The tech offices, the self-driving cars and, yes, the kind of walkable, foodie-inclined environments that are attractive to people from all over, are multiplying through neighborhoods like Lawrenceville, Oakland and East End.

Even the terrain is fitting, as the compact, hilly, all-weather nature of the city makes it a good place to figure out if a robot can survive on real streets.

If you can get an autonomous vehicle to work here, it should pretty much be able to work anywhere, said Lou Camerlengo, who started custom design and dev shop fivestar in 1997 and serves corporate clients as well as community clients and economic development groups.

It can be tempting to read this change, coming decades after the city lost one-third of its population when the steel industry collapsed, as a recent phenomenon. After all, it brings together the post-Recession push toward cities and new economies.

Yet its worth remembering that the innovation ecosystem didnt just arrive with Google. After all, the company sought out CMU for its expertise in AI that took decades to develop. The groundwork for Carnegie Mellon and Pitts expertise and resulting talent pool in artificial intelligence and robotics dates back to the 1950s, when then-professor Herbert Simon and Allen Newell are credited with pioneering the field. Even Zoom can trace its legacy to CMU, as the first video call took place 50 years before the company launched.

When it comes to robots, the now-prevalent Roboburgh nickname dates to a 1999 Wall Street Journal article. By turn, the research itself can be traced at least to 1979, when CMUs Robotics Institute was launched. It gained national attention when William Red Whittaker,who is now CTO of moonbound autonomy company Astrobotic,led development of robots to inspect the accident site at Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant near Harrisburg.

Now the Pittsburgh Robotics Network has more than 50 companies. Many of the robotics researchers are developing technology more quietly than commercial startups otherwise would in fact, theyre not seeking any attention. Theyve got funding via government contracts, and are racing to develop technology that will have generational impact.

We call them the unsung heroes of Pittsburgh tech, said Jennifer Apicella, president and CEO of Build412 Tech, which connects technology professionals in Pittsburgh through events and membership. Not only are they providing amazing jobs but amazing experience for our technology professional population doing cutting-edge technological development. Who doesnt want to be a part of that?

Through its schools of medicine and engineering school, the University of Pittsburgh leads a research sector thats one of the top recipients of NIH grant funding to advance discoveries at centers like the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine.

Like many cities, Pittsburgh also has a base of startup activity, as a group of accelerators and incubators like Alphalab, Idea Foundryand Ascender seek to provide resources that can help new businesses grow. Its in line with the growth of entrepreneurship that came on the heels of the Great Recession in many cities, but didnt start in 2008. Heres a few examples of companies that were founded in Pittsburgh and grew big workforces:

Still, the sector of the economy that include organizations with a specific tech focus doesnt tell the full story of local employment in technology as a whole. For one, the tech growth isnt driving the same employment numbers as the steel industry once did, said Christopher Briem, a regional economist at Pitts Center for Social and Urban Research. Theres been signs of growth in education and healthcare, as well as financial services. And with proximity to the Marcellus Shale, hydraulic fracturing continues to drive big job gains.

Its a much more difficult challenge for a region to maintain competitiveness in any one industry than it was for steel because there was coal in the ground that made it an optimal place to make steel for over a century, he said.

Yet the citys place as an industrial center continues to have a long reach, and some of those big firms that helped build the citys blue collar reputation are also the ones driving innovation. PPG, Westinghouse Nuclear, Alcoa, ANSYS, UPMC and Highmarkhave long been in the region. Its not necessarily the sexiest, but is firmly rooted in an ethos of creating technology that can help advance industries and infrastructure.

Its not just doing things for the pure science of it, said Kevin Stolarick, the Official Statistician of the Creative Class who got his Ph.D. at CMU and long called the city home before moving to Toronto. Its doing things because theres a problem that we need to solve.

Those problems take time to work out, and they dont always draw the big praise. But theyve created a base of jobs and a foundation to keep pushing technology forward.

I always love the the 15 years it takes to be an overnight success, Stolarick said. Thats a large part of this.

At the same time, some of the largest employers with headquarters in Pittsburgh are also now the largest tech employers. Take PNC. The company doubled in size following the acquisition of Cleveland-based National City Corp. in the wake of the 2008 recession. Now it is positioning itself as a tech company that delivers financial services, rather than the other way around.

And its true of some of the biggest companies across the region: BNY Mellon, Dicks Sporting Goods, Dollar Bank, Federated, Covestro, Lanxess. These jobs often come with stable benefits and the chance to get the experience that comes from working at a large company.

For one, there are places to go from a smaller firm.

When our developers leave here its not uncommon for them to go to a corporate setting, Camerlengo said of fivestar. They are a big actor because everyone really needs that tech talent.

Julia Poepping started her path in Pittsburghs tech industry working in information systems at PPG in the 1980s. It was reflective of that steady, process-driven employment that the city has always been known for.

One of the things that I found when I worked at a large, 120-year-old manufacturing company is they had really good processes. For a long time they were run by engineers, and it was a great place to really learn how to run a business and how to do things responsibly, she said.

All you have to do is ask and somebody is going to figure out how to help you, said Poepping, who chairs RedChairPGH, a nonprofit for gender balance in tech.

The hiring that has taken place on all of these levels has created a dynamic that sees Pittsburgh seeking to fill technology jobs.

Universities like CMU, Pitt and Duquesne are producing talent, yet at some level it becomes a matter of numbers supply and demand. The boom in jobs is creating more openings than an annual graduating computer science program can fill. Justin Driscoll, Pittsburgh campus director for coding bootcamp Tech Elevator, has seen lots of change over a couple of decades in the tech ecosystem. For one, he points to the growth of the neighborhoods where tech companies are based as a destination.

Theres also been a change in jobs. He cited data that shows more than 7,000 tech roles were posted on BurningGlass in 2018. That same year, local computer science schools graduated 650, students, he said. For its part, Tech Elevator is training about 150 new developers a year who werent previously technologists. In an economy where software developers have options from working on a banks customer experience to building robots, theres a need for people to grow the workforce.

The transferability of these skills is really whats fueling this economy and more and more need in the region, Driscoll said.

Along with the proximity to talent, they are attracted by affordability and general quality of life that comes from living in a city of 300,000 people where dollars go further. The restaurant scene is getting national accolades. Plus, the museums, libraries and parks that still bear the names of the giants of industry offer plenty to do.

And, again, theres the ethos that indicates one can get involved: Come to Pittsburgh if you want to build something, Russo said.

Though not all grads will stay, the base of companies creates a place for folks who are graduating to find a job, and a base of talent to attract folks who might be seeking out a new city, or left town and want to return in another stage of life. Build412 Techs Apicella has been taking note of this boomeranging effect, and sees it as a source of attracting talent.

They left for a few years and went to go try something new, and now they come back and bring that experience with them, she said.

Yet its not only those who come from outside that will shape the citys future. A big economic shift means that technology as a profession will shape the city as a whole. That means folks who already live in town have a place, too. Similarly, the path is still being shaped.

It will mean specific roles for people at different levels. Tech Elevator offers training that prepares junior developers. Its a pathway into a well-paying tech job that has good benefits, without requiring a college degree, which presents a new kind of opportunity. But at the same time, its not necessarily the kind of talent thats often sought at a startup. There still needs to be time to learn from more advanced folks, which a larger team can offer.

Our new developers can learn from them and then hopefully one day work at Duolingo, Driscoll said.

Its easy to think in shorthand about tech. Theres Silicon Valley power players and theres CMU robots. Theyre important and will remain so, but with economic change thats bringing outsize growth, its fast becoming apparent that lots of different kinds of organizations will have a role. And that will require both looking outside, and within.

Major stock market indices have recovered most of their losses for the year. In some regards, its not surprising, considering the incredible accommodative stance from global Central bankers.

Beneath the surface of the stock market indices lies a somewhat concerning trend of five companies: Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet (Google) and Facebook, which represent almost 20% of the S&P 500.

Such a large concentration of a few companies pushing the stock market higher has usually led to tears. Let me explain, why.

The S&P 500 index is capitalization-weighted by its constituents. As one company appreciates, their weighting in the index then rises. Microsoft has the largest capitalization of any company, at $1.6 trillion. That is, all of their 7.6 billion outstanding shares, multiplied by the current share price of $211, is worth $1.6 trillion. This represents 6% of the entire index. If Microsoft appreciates 1% in a single day, the contribution to the total index return is 0.06%. However, if McDonalds, which represents only 0.5% of the index with a total market cap of $136 billion, rises 1%, its contribution to the return is 0.005%, or less than one-tenth that of Microsoft.

As illustrated in the example above, if five companies represent almost 20% of the broad stock market, investors need to own these companies in similar weightings if they hope to "keep up" with the market.

Growth investors may need to be even more careful.

The same five companies in the S&P 500 Growth ETF represent over 37% of the fund! Investors are usually very cautious about having 5% of their portfolio in a single stock. In many of the growth indices, Microsoft represents 10%, Apple 9.7%, and Amazon 8%!

The party may end soon.

For several years, technology giants have been probed by regulatory bodies in the U.S. and abroad. Lately, the pressure seems to be increasing.

There are always two sides to the story, however, and it is easy to articulate why these companies should be in your portfolio. But also, be mindful of industry and stock concentration and look to reduce outsized positions.

Beese Fulmer Private Wealth Management was founded in 1980 and is one of Stark Countys oldest and largest investment management firms. The company serves high-net-worth individuals, families, and non-profits, and has been ranked as one of the largest money managers in Northeast Ohio.

Big Tech joins fight against Trump’s restrictions on international students – The Logic

Posted on by

Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Salesforce and Spotify are among the tech companies joining the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in asking a federal judge to block the White Houses July 6 directive to bar international students from staying in the country if their colleges move largely online in the fall due to pandemic lockdowns.(Axios)

Talking point: The U.S. has so far allowed international students to stay on visa throughout the pandemic by taking more online courses than usually permitted. The new rule revokes this allowancea decision tech companies say does not consider the loss of the tens of billions of dollars that international students contribute to U.S. GDP each year, according to a court filing. International students in the U.S. contributed nearly US$41 billion to the economy in the 20182019 academic year, according to NAFSA: Association of International Educators. In an amicus brief filed Monday, the companies sided with Harvard and MIT, which filed a lawsuit last week, and said they would be harmed substantially if the students were removed. Dropbox wouldnt exist without immigrants, a spokesperson for the company, which is part of the brief, told Protocol. Seventeen states and the District of Columbia are also suing the government on the issue. A federal judge is expected to rule by Wednesday.

Cramer’s earnings watch: ‘If the banks get hammered, things could get ugly’ – CNBC

Posted on by

After a weeklong break from television, CNBC's Jim Cramer returned to his evening investment education show on Monday to give a preview of the earnings reports to come.

The "Mad Money" host warned that Wall Street is in a tough spot, with the big banks set to report results starting Tuesday.

"If the banks can rally, then maybe we've gone 'through the looking glass,'" he said. "If the banks get hammered, things could get ugly."

The comments came after the S&P 500 which collapsed alongside the other major indexes earlier this year as the coronavirus outbreak took hold around the globe managed to trade in positive territory during the trading session. But that proved to be ephemeral as the broad index ended up sliding nearly 1% at the close.

After making big gains early on, the Dow Jones finished up about 10 points, or 0.04%, at 26,085.80, and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.13% to 10,390.84 as a rally in big tech stocks lost its luster later in the day.

The market rose as traders ignored a continued surge in new positive Covid-19 diagnoses across the country. Additionally, Pfizer and BioNTech shares surged after their Covid-19 vaccine candidates received "fast track" recognition from the Food and Drug Administration.

"This is the week when we find out if the real world is going to intrude on the stock market world, and that's what happened today, but tomorrow's the big test," Cramer said.

He went on to present what's circled on his calendar this earnings week. All projections are based on Factset estimates:

JPMorgan Chase

"I don't know if JPMorgan's results will be good enough to offset those of Wells Fargo," Cramer said. "I think we'll hear a lot about bad loans from both of them, though JPMorgan has the balance sheet and diversification to handle the pain."

Wells Fargo

"They've got a ton of personal loans and oil loans," he said. "No wonder they had to cut the dividend, but it is run by Charlie Scharf. He's going to figure it out."

Citigroup

"Now that Citi's had to suspend its incredible buyback, you've lost the best reason for owning this darned stock," he said. "It's cheap, but it could easily stay cheap."

Delta Air Lines

"The Robinhood crowd, they love the airlines, even as passengers seem to hate them. Will Delta need more help from the government?" he said. "If they say no ... you might want to buy American Airlines, which needs the most help, but only for a trade, please."

Goldman Sachs

"I think they're going to blow away the numbers," Cramer said. "This market's a trader's paradise, which should allow an investment bank like Goldman to put up a remarkable quarter from all that great firepower they've got on the trading desk."

UnitedHealth

"This pandemic's been fabulous for the managed care space because all sorts of expensive surgeries keep being postponed," he said. "That could lead to a huge quarter, but the conference call spells out the future" and the future could be "murky."

Bank of America

"They almost always report excellent numbers driven by their top-notch digitization strategy, but it never seems to matter," Cramer said. "The stock hasn't been able to rise above the rest of the group. No reason this time should be different."

Morgan Stanley

"Morgan Stanley can talk about their merger with E-trade," he said. "I think it works for the same reasons Goldman does almost no collateralized loan exposure."

Johnson & Johnson

"They have a terrific pipeline, and they're super-focused on Covid," he said. "I bet they have a great quarter, but it might not matter, because this stock ran up hard today."

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company

"Perhaps the most important report of the week is Taiwan Semiconductor, and that's because it has a huge amount of business with Apple," he said.

Domino's Pizza

"I think they tell a good story, as contactless delivery is the safest way to eat," he said.

Netflix

"I think of Netflix as a worldwide entertainment service that's essential in the age of Covid-19. However, management tends to be pretty self-effacing," he said. "I would like Netflix into weakness."

First Horizon

"This is a great regional bank, it is a top-notch franchise, it's in one of the strongest areas ... and it has branches all over the South," Cramer said. "It's amazingly well-run, and yet the stock sells for just seven times earnings and it sports a massive 6% yield."

Disclosure: Cramer's charitable trust owns shares of JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Apple and Johnson & Johnson.

How Artificial Intelligence Innovations Induced Industrywide Advancements? – Analytics Insight

Posted on by

Living in a world surrounded by technologies, we can conveniently verify that Artificial Intelligence is behind most of the innovations that take place today.It has become one of the innovation resources of the current era. From finances to healthcare, technology has its reach everywhere, transforming every industry for better. Although every technology in the mainstream today is evolving at a fast pace, in comparison to other fields, AI has shown some great and remarkable advancements in the past year. Lets have a look back into 2019 and see how the technology has introduced some of the most innovative breakthroughs of this decade.

In the monetary arena, the innovations empowered by AI and ML have taken a significant leap. As per the observation presented by a Deloitte report, AI leaders In financial services: Common traits of frontrunners in the artificial intelligence race, various AI platforms and tools are revolutionizing several aspects of the BFSI sector. In particular, machine learning tools are driving better customer engagement while helping authorities manage portfolios and plan future services and scenarios. Through ML implementation, financial institutions are also able to own long-term strategies and enforce operational improvements. As illustrated by the report, organizations that are dubbed frontrunners are observing revenue growth of 19% company-wide. This significant implementation of AI subset to achieve better business can be attributed as an AI innovation.

Transforming the agriculture sector, an Australia-based agtech company FluroSat served farmers with real-time information. Using this information, farmers were able to assess plant health and detect crop stress. FluroSats platform, FluroSense, provides a mix of satellite data, farming records, and AI in an analytics engine that helps farmworkers foresee crop performance. Also, using the received data, the AI tool can provide recommendations on how to optimize crops. Since its launch in 2019, FluroSense is being employed by more than 1000 agronomists across eight countries.

Moreover, across the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry, technology is making great advancements. Living under the reign of terror induced by a coronavirus, no other generation than us can understand the true benefits of technology in reshaping the healthcare industry. Today AI and its subsets are being used extensively for drug discovery and medical treatment planning. However, the upsurge of AI in this industry has been noted in 2019 when a Hong Kong biotech startup called InSilico Medicine partnered with the University of Toronto researchers to create a drug in order to advance the concept to initial testing.As noted byFortune, the significance of AI on pre-clinical development and on the economics of healthcare is worth watching. Whats eye-popping here is the timescale: just 46 days from molecular design to animal testing in mice. Considering that, on average, it takes more than a decade and costs US$350 million to US$2.7 billion to bring a new drug to market, depending on which study one believes, the potential impact on the pharmaceutical industry is huge.

In an effort to transform recruitment processes and HR operations, Harver developed an AI software that automates the hiring process making use of data to sort, test, and vet candidates. The software is extremely helpful in simplifying the hiring process with decreased chances of unconscious bias in the process. As noted by Springwise, Harver is different from other AI-based hiring programs because it focuses on the pre-interview selection process. The companys software offers HR teams several adaptable assessment modules. The tests can examine everything from personality to typing skills. The program then assesses the results and determines which candidates are the best fit for an interview.

In its creative approaches, the innovations of AI are quite remarkable. One of the most prestigious publications theNew Yorkerrecently agitated a discussion if AI possesses the capability to write for the publication. The article mentions the recently-releasedGPT-2by Open.AI. GPT-2 is an AI platform that builds on deep training of a vast neural net in order to establish fairly realistic language abilities. According toOpen.AI, Weve trained a large-scale unsupervised language model which generates coherent paragraphs of text, achieves state-of-the-art performance on many language modeling benchmarks, and performs rudimentary reading comprehension, machine translation, question answering, and summarizationall without task-specific training. Moreover, some kindred mechanism is being employed to create basic articles, and sports reports.

Integrating Artificial Intelligence in Treatment Planning – Imaging Technology News

Posted on by

At the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) 2019 meeting, new artificial intelligence (AI) software to assist with radiotherapy treatment planning systems was highlighted. The goal of the AI-based systems is to save staff time, while still allowing clinicians to do the final patient review.

RaySearch demonstrated a new U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared machine learning treatment planning system. The RaySearch RayStation machine learning algorithm is being used clinically by University Health Network, Princess Margaret Cancer Center, Toronto, Canada, where it was rolled out over several months in late-2019. Medical physicist Leigh Conroy, Ph.D., was involved in this rollout and helped conduct a study, showing the automated plans and traditionally made plans to radiation oncologists to get valuable feedback. She spoke at the AAPM 2019 meeting on this topic.

In an interview with itnTV, Conroy explained that she worked with an algorithm that uses machine learning to create automated treatment plans. With this, we train the algorithm using a curated set of high-quality, previously delivered plans. Then, it is able to detect the patient that is most similar to a novel patient and create a new treatment plan with no user interaction beyond pressing the play button, she explained.

Conrads study directly compared those automated treatment plans to traditionally generated manual plans. The radiation oncologist then compared those two plans head-to-head and decided whether each plan was acceptable, and chose the favored plan. The plans are not modified as they are performing them, however they are modifiable. The automated plan is modifiable, but for the purposes of this study, we are not going to be modifying them so we can directly compare the output of the machine learning algorithm to the output of the planners, she said.

The system was trained using a model that was developed at Princess Margaret, and the model is being used clinically. The way that we are doing our study is if the doctor does choose the automated plan, then its underlined that the physicist knows when they are doing their plan QA that it is an automated plan, and it goes to the same QA that it normally would, and the patient-specific QA is a fully deliverable plan, and that is the plan that the patient is treated with.

Depending on how things go with the study, it is predicted that AI should see a regular implementation. That is the point of the study, to make sure we can do this and work it into our regular process and eventually provide it if the doctors continue to like the automated plans, she said.

One of the main ideas in implementing AI is to save time to get more patient throughput. We are not measuring the end to end timing of a planner vs. the machine learning. But one of the major advantages is that it takes about 20 minutes for a new patient, however there is no user interacting during those 20 minutes, so the planner can go and do other work or other plans during that time, and come back so there is a fully done plan.

There is a different process depending on what plan is being created. However, the AI would help to free them up to be able to do other duties. From a planner expertise perspective, some of the planning techniques such as head and neck might be more complicated so it might take longer for the planner to do it. Its more reliant on their level of expertise, she explained.

Varian also has developed AI-driven automated treatment planning software that is currently being used by several hospitals.

Recently, Varian released the newest version of its treatment planning system, Eclipse v16. This new release includes intelligent features such as RapidPlan PT, a clinical application of machine learning in proton treatment planning, and RT Peer Review, a collaborative workspace designed to streamline and accelerate the peer review process for radiotherapy treatment plans.

Previously only available for photon-based radiotherapy treatment planning, RapidPlan is knowledge-based treatment planning software that enables clinicians to leverage knowledge and data from similar prior treatment plans to quickly develop high-quality personalized plans for patients. This knowledge-based planning software is now available for proton treatment planning with RapidPlan PT. The software also allows dose prediction with machine learning models that can be used as a decision support tool to determine which patients would be appropriate for proton or photon therapy.

With the number of operational proton treatment rooms continuing to increase, there is a need for experienced proton therapy clinicians, said Kolleen Kennedy, chief growth officer, president, Proton Solutions, Varian, in a written statement. RapidPlan PT helps bridge the learning curve, allowing established centers to share their models and clinical experience. The machine learning in RapidPlan PT has the potential to reduce proton treatment plan optimization from a one- to eight-hour process, as reported by clinical proton centers, to less than 10 minutes, while also potentially improving plan quality.

Eclipse v16 has received the CE mark and is 510(k) pending.
