On Tuesday, the fifth anniversary of legendary ski filmmaker Warren Miller’s death at 93, the company that acquired his namesake film studio made a startling announcement: For the first time in 74 years, there would not be an annual film of new skiing and snowboarding footage.  Outdoors media juggernaut Outside Inc., formerly Pocket Outdoor Media, announced that the 2023–24 Warren Miller Film Tour would instead feature a film made of re-edited archival footage from years past. The announcement from Outside, which acquired Warren Miller Entertainment in June 2020 when the former was still named Pocket, came shortly after an Instagram post from Chris Patterson, the longtime director of the annual film. He announced that for the first time in decades, he and his crew… Source link

In 2019 nobody knew what was in store. But in the subsequent mayhem, all the tech companies made hay while the lockdown sun shined. Everyone had to upgrade and buy new tech solutions and Big Tech saw record profits and record valuations during 2020-21. While a good number of companies were facing losses and shutdowns, tech boomed. 2022 saw course correction with that initial demand coming down and such growth becoming unsustainable. Profits shrunk (though they are still there), demand went down, and valuations crashed. While valuations going down by 10-20% do happen, what about 50%+? Just ask Tesla and Meta. The layoffs were inevitable and even those figures broke records. The India IT services had problems of a different kind. The growth story that began in the 2000s… Source link

CNN remembers how in 2016 Ruja Ignatova “touted her company, OneCoin, as a lucrative rival to Bitcoin in the growing cryptocurrency market.” As OneCoin’s co-founder, Ignatova told one audience in 2016 that “In two years, nobody will speak about Bitcoin anymore. “Sixteen months later, Ignatova boarded a plane in Sofia, Bulgaria, and vanished. She hasn’t been seen since.” Authorities say OneCoin was a pyramid scheme that defrauded people out of more than $4 billion as Ignatova convinced investors in the US and around the globe to throw fistfuls of cash at her company. Federal prosecutors describe OneCoin as one of the largest international fraud schemes ever perpetrated. She is now one of the FBI’s 10 most-wanted fugitives, alongside accused gang leaders and murderers,… Source link

By Sid Schwab / Herald columnist President Biden’s documents thing is maddening, disappointing, frustrating. The obverse is that, for people as-yet unacquainted with the hypocrisy of Republican electeds and their media mouths, it provides an enlightening introductory course: Hypocrisy 101. The best that can be said about Biden’s situation is that it was careless. Unlike Trump’s, however, there’s no evidence (so far) of criminal intent, the critical criterion for prosecution. In fact, we only know about it because upon discovery, Biden did everything the law demands. Trump, by contrast, denied, lied, refused, excused, ignored and stored; forcing FBIntervention. But those differences don’t matter to the McCarthyite hostage-takers of Congress, who are in strategic,… Source link
