1
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: From the heart of where innovation, money and power collive

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: in Silicon Valley and beyond. This is Bloomberg Technology with

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: Emily j I'm Emily checking San Francisco and this is

4
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Technology. Coming up in the next hour. Twitter's tepid

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: results another blow to the company that's already fighting a

6
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: high profile legal battle with Elon Musk. We will talk

7
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: about what it tells us about the state of social media,

8
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: plus more and more tech companies hitting the brakes on hiring.

9
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: What does it signal about the future of the economy

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: and what does Silicon Valley look like when the dust

11
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: has settled. Polit School and finding the soulmate comes with

12
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: a cost, and inflation isn't helping. Singles are getting creative

13
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: as the dating economy suffers from picker shock. We'll dig

14
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: into trends in dating. All that in a moment, But

15
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: first Snap then Twitter dragging tech markets down, disappointing results

16
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: only fueling fears of a recession. I want to zoom

17
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: out and talk about what all these tech results so

18
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: far have told us about the state of the economy.

19
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: For that, I want to bring in wed wish Managing

20
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 1: director Dan Eyes and economy CEO David Kirkpatrick. Look, let's

21
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: let's let's start with Twitter because we saw you know,

22
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: miss miss on the top line, uh users inline? Dan,

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: is Twitter just treading water right now? I think Twitter

24
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: is basically training right now. Is odds are almost an

25
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: arbitrage on what's gonna happen in Delaware in terms of

26
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: eating with the must deal in terms of how that

27
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: plays out for me the a settlement or he ultimately

28
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: needs to buy Twitter based on Delaware court. But I

29
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: will tell you those metrics firmer than fear, and I

30
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: think it should, especially when you compare it as Ed

31
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: talked about the Snare app just absolute disaster, blaming everything

32
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: for the wind. I mean, Twitter holding it a bit

33
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: better than expected, but it is training right now on

34
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: what's happening in terms of October and the Delaware court case.

35
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: And remember it was Snap, you know, coming out and

36
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: revising its forecast earlier this year that sort of kick

37
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: started this market meltdown. David, what's your take on what

38
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: we're seeing from Snap? Even Evan Spiegel himself saying he's

39
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: not happy with these results. Well, I think in the

40
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: digital advertising business, some companies are a lot better position

41
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: than others, and Snap is not at the center of

42
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: the industry. I think it is at risk, and it

43
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: showed that it's at risk of unusually strong reaction when

44
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: advertisers start to pull back. I don't think that's the

45
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: case for some of the bigger companies. UM. It is

46
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: interesting to me when you look at what's happening with Twitter.

47
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: Um it's a company that probably has gained a lot

48
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: from the sheer publicity around the must efforts, and they

49
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: are gaining users. So I agree with that it's not

50
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: nearly as bad as we might have expected. So here's

51
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: the question, Dan, how much is what's happening with Snap

52
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: and what we just saw with Twitter signal about the

53
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: state of the online ad business? What does this actually

54
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: mean for Meta or Alphabet for example, Dan, And there's

55
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: obviously a big drum roll into next week I think

56
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: one most pivotal week or earnings for tech and then

57
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 1: by five six years. But look, Snap, even a good

58
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: ecomming Snap has had a lot of difficulty getting their

59
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: arms around their business continuum as viewer as a paper

60
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: airplane and a hurricane. I still believe when it comes

61
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: to YouTube in terms of Google and what we're gonna

62
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: see even pinterest in others. I think digital ad swelling,

63
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: but I think media holding up a bit better than feared.

64
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: But that's why next year to Miki, especially when it

65
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: comes to meta streets baking in a lot of bad news.

66
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: But I just continue to not use snap as the

67
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: best barometer who it's happened the industry. That said, there's

68
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: a lot of talk now about whether the social media

69
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: business model is sputtering, is on the verge of failing.

70
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: I mean, David, we're seeing Facebook, you know, pivot entirely

71
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: to a whole new future with meta, in part because

72
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure because of some of the weaknesses that they

73
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: see internally. I mean, do you think this is some

74
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: sort of what we've seen so far, whether it's just

75
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks or the last you know,

76
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: couple of quarters, a sort of indictment on the business

77
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: model of social media. No, I don't. In fact, I

78
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: think the pivot to meta in the metaverse at what

79
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: used to be called Facebook really has a lot of

80
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: other causes, and a lot of them have to do

81
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: with reputational management. Um, I don't think that social media

82
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: industry is at risk of failing in any fundamental way.

83
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: I think the evolution is happening faster than some would

84
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: have expected, uh, particularly with TikTok's extraordinary billion global user arise. Um.

85
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: The the incumbents aren't really prepared. They aren't a sleet

86
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: footed now, especially that as they're so big, particularly in

87
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: the case of Facebook, uh and Google to a lesser extent.

88
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: I think Google is the best position company of all

89
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: of these film myself. So you think Google has the

90
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: biggest upside in the tech sector, Why, Well, it's it's

91
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: not that it has. It's just that it's embeddedness in

92
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: the global economy, not the tech economy, just in the

93
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: global economy is so thorough, so immovable. This is not

94
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: true for the businesses of of meta Facebook, except for

95
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: possibly WhatsApp, which is a business that really does have

96
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: a almost impregnable global position. Um. But the Google services,

97
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: many of them are just inconceivable for people to live without.

98
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: And I think that is a huge defense mechanism for them.

99
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: They've put themselves in a fantastic position over decade. It's

100
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: a building incredibly well designed and useful businesses. Dan, what

101
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: tech company do you think has the biggest upside right now? Well, First,

102
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: I agree with David on on the Google side going

103
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: into next week, But to me, it's that company and

104
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: Cooper Tina, it's Apple because I think that's one it's

105
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: an underestimated demand cycle still even with a swirling macro

106
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: in terms of iPhone fourteen, you got a quarter of

107
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: the base by two not upgrade three and a half years.

108
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: That services business rocket Gibralton. I think that's going to

109
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: come through next week, and I think some of the

110
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: parts the Apples still a SOAKA is the two in

111
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: front of it. That continues to be our top technique.

112
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: But Dan, even Apple is cutting back on hiring, cutting

113
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: back on costs, cutting back on spending for various divisions.

114
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: What does that tell you? Look, I think that they're

115
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: being proven. You're seen that across the valley from Microsoft

116
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: to Amazon to other But but this is more prudence

117
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: rather than what I sort of view is just a

118
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: massive deceleration to tap into business. And I think there's

119
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: also other areas that they're looking to spend on, and

120
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: it comes down to what's baked into the stocks. I

121
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: think that's a theme that we saw a play out

122
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: with Netflix with Tesla, and I think next week I view,

123
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: this is sort of better than fear in terms of

124
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: how it's going to play on Apple. I continue putting

125
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: Astrick around that front and center, along with Microsoft being

126
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: our court cloud name. David, would you say you're expecting

127
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: better than feared results next week? I think it's hard

128
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: to predict what's going to happen next week. But one

129
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: thing that I would say it was on a Bloomberg

130
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: article this week that I read that recession is almost

131
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: inevitable if it hasn't started already. So any of these

132
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: companies that were not preparing themselves by battman down the

133
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: hatches would be pretty poorly managed. I do agree. Apple

134
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: has just done another job, sort of like Google in

135
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: its own unique way of building businesses that just can't

136
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: be stopped. So I doubt if they would be slowed

137
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: much by even the beginnings of a recession. All Right, David,

138
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna be sticking with us. We're actually gonna be

139
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: digging into this big hiring slow down. A bit later

140
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: in the show, David Kirkpatrick, thank you, and Dan ives

141
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: always good to have you here. Happy Friday. All right,

142
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: coming up, one tech company after another slowing or stopping

143
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: hiring is it a sign of ominous economics. Guys ahead

144
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: talk about that and more. Next, this is Bloomberg. Big

145
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: tech is hitting the brakes on hiring, from Apple and

146
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: Microsoft to Netflix and Amazon. Silicon Valley is cutting back

147
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: on growth after years of bulking up, the entire industry

148
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: bracing for a potential recession. Alex Brin could cover social

149
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: media from Bloomberg News to economies. David Kirkpatrick still with us. So, look,

150
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: you've got Microsoft eliminating new job openings, Google slow and

151
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: hiring for the rest of the year, Amazon saying they

152
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: overstaffed during the pandemic, now they have to cut back. Alex,

153
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: what are the biggest headlines you've seen in this raft

154
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: of news from tech companies that they're pulling back. Yeah,

155
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying a lot of pointing fingers at things like

156
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: rising inflation hitting costs UM and UH, and customers of

157
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: folks like Amazon who sell products pulling back spending. I'm

158
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: also seeing a lot of this idea of macroeconomic uncertainty

159
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: hitting companies that depend on advertising on their businesses. I

160
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: think a couple of really good examples, Emily, are in

161
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: the second quarter results we saw this week from the

162
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: likes of Twitter and from Snap. Both of them pointed

163
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: to this kind of macroeconomic uncertainty hitting their advertisers and

164
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: causing campaign budgets to go down. So that means that

165
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: the places that they depend on for revenue are getting smaller.

166
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: That advertising pie is shrinking, Snap for um for that company,

167
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: UM gave some hints into what a lot of these

168
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: companies might be thinking about. They said, Look, the pool

169
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: of money that we're making on the top line is

170
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: getting smaller, So we're actually looking across our business and

171
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: seeing where can we optimize um our bottom line, Where

172
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: can we optimize profitability, What other opportunities that were already

173
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: working on can we look just squeeze a bit more

174
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: money out of. And of course, like the rest of

175
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: the companies you mentioned at the top, they are being

176
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: really cautious when it comes to adding more headcount and

177
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: more costs and which investments they are picking because it

178
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: seems like right now we're in a bit of a

179
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: chopping environment. Emily, Indeed, it seems like we're getting memo

180
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: after memo from various ceo saying we're slowing down here,

181
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: we're pulling back there. I want to warn you about this, David.

182
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: You know some of these, you know, are companies that

183
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: haven't reported yet. They're gonna be reporting over the next

184
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. But what do you think they're seeing

185
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: that the rest of us aren't yet. Well, I think

186
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: each one is a different story. I suspect that the

187
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: big companies aren't seeing terrible as spending results yet that

188
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: could easily happen in the near future. Uh. Certainly in

189
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: the case of Meta Facebook, there is a real possibility,

190
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: as the Great Alex Kendrew has pointed out in his

191
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: newsletter this week that Facebook Meta really could have their

192
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: first year over year decline in revenues. Ever. Uh So

193
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: that would be really a big change for a company

194
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: that has had a historic run of just growth after

195
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: growth after growth for really well over a decade. Um.

196
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: But but these the thing about Meta too that I

197
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: think people may forget is that the big advertisers are

198
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: not their primary source of revenue. There it's very important,

199
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: but they're small business and media business are really where

200
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: their bread is buttered. And you know, at this point

201
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: in the economic shift, I suspect that smaller companies are

202
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: still willing to spend to try to stimulate business so

203
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: my guess is that metas results will not be shockingly bad,

204
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: although they even themselves predicted growth are slowing. You know,

205
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: we saw that user growth even started to drop in

206
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: certain key geography. So they have problems all over the place.

207
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: They have an identity crisis. You know, they don't even

208
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: know who they are the you know, the metaverse. They're

209
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: predicting too soon. I'm going on. But uh, there's some

210
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: thoughts well, and there's an interesting question of how did

211
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: the social media company survivor recession when most of them

212
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: aren't around in two thousand eight and Facebook was only

213
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: four years old. I mean, I know that's when you

214
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: were writing your book, but you know, we don't really

215
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of past experience to to to indicate

216
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: how social media will survive a recession. Well, that company

217
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: in particular has zero exper arians. The irony is, um,

218
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: I was writing my book in late two thousand and eight,

219
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: throughout all of two thousand and nine came out. So

220
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: this is when the economy was in terrible shape, and

221
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: ironically I barely noticed because at Facebook there was no

222
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: evidence of it. What sweve um and so there really

223
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: is unequivocally you can say Mark Zuckerberg has never been

224
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: through a real downturn, and be people who are young

225
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: may not realize in two thousand and eight, two thousand

226
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: and nine we had a serious recession. That is something

227
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: very very new for that company in particular. Well, and

228
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: obviously Mark Zuckerberg has made a lot of big acquisitions

229
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: over the years, but wasn't able to buy Snap, wasn't

230
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: able to buy Twitter if that was ever really on

231
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: the table. But Alex, do you do think could M

232
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: and A be a possibility? You know, could some of

233
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: these companies buy or sell their way out of this

234
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: potentially if they feel like they have the cash to

235
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: do so. Um. For Mark Zuckerberry looking at Facebook, um,

236
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: I that they have this now existential threat of the

237
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: macroeconomic environment. He's also kind of dealing with this threat

238
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: of users wanting and experience that didn't originate on Facebook.

239
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: The TikTok size elephant in the room is something that

240
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: all of the metal platforms, from Facebook to Instagram are

241
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: also having to contend with. Right now, it looks like

242
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: that company in particular is betting on building and changing

243
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: both the flagship face Facebook app and the Instagram app

244
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: to better satiate users obsession with short form videos without

245
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: trying to alienate the user base um that they have.

246
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: You saw changes with both Facebook and Instagram's core experience

247
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: this week, basically making them look more like TikTok so

248
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: um buying their way out of it. You know, I

249
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: think that would be a big question, and if I

250
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: were the board of these companies, I would want to

251
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: be maybe taking a conservative view, because if you're not

252
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: putting that money toward things like head count and bringing

253
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: on people too more quickly develop things in house, I

254
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: would think that those dollars would need to be spent

255
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: pretty presciently if you're looking for somebody to keep up

256
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: with the times amongst these social media companies. David, I

257
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: believe you were reporting at the time of the dot

258
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: com bust. I mean, based on your own professional experience.

259
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: What's your sense of how Silicon Valley, this version of

260
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:26,119
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley survives a recession. Well, I don't think survival

261
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: is in question. I mean, these companies are deeply embedded,

262
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: as I said in the earlier segment in the world economy.

263
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: But but interestingly, the business at Meta that is most

264
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: embedded is the one they get essentially no revenue from

265
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: what's that UM, and I find out I rhn UM,

266
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: but I think that they really will be okay for

267
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: the short term. It's you know, I think if it's

268
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: likely a recession will be short if we have one,

269
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: and I think they will manage their way out. Interesting. Uh, Brinka,

270
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: you know what are you what are you hearing from

271
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: your sources inside these companies? Is there you know? For

272
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: some of my sources at Facebook, it still seems like

273
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: good times, yeah, or at least it seems like motivated times, right. Um.

274
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: You have the company prioritizing things like um changes to

275
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: their feeds, like I mentioned, to keep up with with

276
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: the tik talks of the world. You also have UM

277
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: you know that whole uh, not legacy business, but existing business,

278
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: the ad business on Instagram and Facebook basically funding their

279
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: new ventures into the metaverse, the bright Chinese new object

280
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: that Mark Zuckerberg has indicated is the future of where

281
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: they're going. So good times in parts of the business.

282
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: I will flag Emily with these hiring freezes and maybe

283
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: the bad pockets that we're seeing at meta UM, there's

284
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: concern around things that really matter to a lot of

285
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: the people on the ground, like diverse workforces and what

286
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: happens when you're not hiring as many people and how

287
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: do they continue to contact end with UM the bubbling

288
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: up of misinformation going into the mid term, So UM,

289
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: I think that you know, good times depending on what

290
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: team you're sitting on, might be the way to look

291
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: at that. Are you within the groups that are seen

292
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: as kind of the future, or you know the really

293
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: necessary changes that are instrumental to making sure that these

294
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: businesses maintain their cultural relevancy with the users that are

295
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: so important to them and advertisers, or are you in

296
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: some of these pockets that maybe are starting to fall

297
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: below the line UM and are not seen as places

298
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: that the that their internal dollars should go UM to

299
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: kind of catapult the company into into and through a

300
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: chop your economic environment quick David Snap just shed half

301
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: its value. Evan Spiegel didn't want to sell before, but

302
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: do you think he might be more willing now or

303
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: it could Snap be a target. I think it could be.

304
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: But really, with Lena Khan at the FTC, the current

305
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: mood in the US government and the EU, I don't

306
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: think it's a good time for any of these companies

307
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: to make a big acquisition um, I also think just

308
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: quickly a well to mention. You know, I do think

309
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: Facebook Metal will get through this. But Zuckerberg's comments recently

310
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: about pairing back his staff sounded very heartless. I think

311
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: they were very ill. They showed an inexperienced manager, and

312
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: it could deter future hiring. It really makes it sound

313
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: like a bad place to work. If you know, we've

314
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: got a lot of deadwood, let's just get rid of it.

315
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Indeed, interesting point. Okay, Damn M. Kirkpatrick's CEO

316
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: of Techonomy. As always in our very own alet Sparenka,

317
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: appreciate you joining a few other stories. We continue to

318
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: watch progressive groups once send a majority leader Chuck Schumer

319
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: to recuse himself from legislation targeting big tech. They say

320
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: he has a conflict of interest because his daughters or

321
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: Get Amazon and Meta. Various different groups have been advocating

322
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: for anti trust measures cracking down on tech giants. No

323
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: comment yet from Schumer himself. Commerce at Terry Jena Raimondo

324
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: says the US can't keep relying on Taiwan for semiconductors.

325
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: In a virtual speech at the Aspen Security Forum, Raimondo

326
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: said Congress needs to pass legislation to support the domestic

327
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: production of high end computer chips. She also called the

328
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: fifty billion dollar package quote a spot Nick moment for America.

329
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: Apple has changed its tune in Washington. New lobby disclosure

330
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: figures reviewed by Bloomberg show that Apple has been spending

331
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: more money than ever before. Apple even going as far

332
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: as deploying Tim Cook himself to work the halls of Congress.

333
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: This as the tech giant is fighting the package of

334
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: antitrust bills that might get a vote next week. Bloomberg

335
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: Smart German joins us now for more So, Mark, it's

336
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: understandable that Tim Cook might have more sway if he

337
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: visits Washington personally than if he sends in a team

338
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: of lobbyists. But what do we know about how app

339
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: poll is change in tact. It seems like this is episodic.

340
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: Right now. It's a very challenging time, not only for Apple,

341
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: but a lot of the big tech companies where they

342
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: really need to up their lobbying efforts to fight against

343
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: some bills and some circumstances that could really up end

344
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: some of their business models. Right so, it makes sense

345
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: to me that Tim Cook would be there personally talking

346
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: to lawmakers, meeting with people on Capitol Hill, and voicing

347
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: Apple's concerns with some of these bills surrounding anti trust measures.

348
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: Tim Cook also has wanted to float new privacy laws,

349
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: and him, along with some executives from other companies, are

350
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: trying to put push new privacy laws there as well.

351
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: Cook has been making the argument that Apple's privacy centric

352
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: approach to its products not only is good for the consumers,

353
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 1: but means they really shouldn't have to take on these

354
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: new anti trust bills because they do it in order

355
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: to make the devices more private. Now, that doesn't make

356
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: a ton of sense to me and a lot of people,

357
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: but that is Apple's argument there, and that is what

358
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: he has been pushing. So here's a question. Is it working.

359
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: Is Tim Cook himself of going to Washington making these

360
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: um pushes, Are our our lawmakers hearing it. There have

361
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: been some changes to some of the bills, some of

362
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: the language there that will make the anti trust bills

363
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: less difficult on Apple in terms of needing to change

364
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: things right, particularly with that privacy argument. It has been

365
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: working in some respects. Obviously, the efforts won't fully work

366
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: unless these nentry trust bills don't pass, and Apple doesn't

367
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: have to make widespread changes to its products. But of

368
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: course it's not only the US where Apple is doing

369
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: its lobbying efforts. One big fundamental change that the company

370
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: is making next year is changing the port on the

371
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: iPhone from Lightning, which has existed for the last ten

372
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: eleven years, to USBC, And that's in part due to

373
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: some changes that lawmakers abroad have pushed. So Apple really

374
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: is taking it from all angles here and that is

375
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: why they're upping these lobbying spends. So this package of

376
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: tech bills that would potentially curb some of the power

377
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: of these companies were expected to see potentially some movement

378
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: on them next week. Any likelihood any of this will

379
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: pass us, you know, I think it's you know, truly

380
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: to tell there has been some momentum on Capitol Hill

381
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: for these bills. If I were to, you know, tell

382
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: you one way or another, I would just be speculating.

383
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: I personally think that major changes are coming to Apple's

384
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: platforms in either way. Right, there's obviously the Digital Markets Act,

385
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: there's the acts that you have been talking about. There

386
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: are the different laws that have been pushed from lawmakers

387
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: abroad in here at home in the US. Right, So

388
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 1: I do think we're going to see fundamental changes either way.

389
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,239
Speaker 1: I don't think it's about if, but I think it's

390
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: about when. Whether that's this year, next year, or the

391
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: year after, there will be a fundamental shift. And how

392
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: does what Apple's doing compared to what other big tech

393
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: companies are doing on the hill, whether it is Meta

394
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: or Alphabet or Amazon. I mean, they all have huge

395
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: lobbying arms, right, I mean I think that you can

396
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: take a look at the lab being spent and some

397
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: of these other companies are doing. Apple spent a few

398
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. So sorry, let me step back. A

399
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: few million dollars, not a few hundred million dollars. I

400
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: know that's a big difference this year on lobbying. That

401
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: is an increase for Apple over some prior years, right,

402
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: But that is about half of what you're seeing maybe

403
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: from Amazon or Microsoft. But still this is noteworthy because

404
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: it's an increased for Apple. Just because Apple is doing

405
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: less or even as much as what those other companies

406
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: have been doing now for the first time, it doesn't

407
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: mean it's not a big change for them. So certainly

408
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: we are seeing a Sea change. Here we are seeing

409
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: Apple taking DC in the need for lobbying very seriously.

410
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: What has been pretty interesting to me is how different

411
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: the Apple relationship appears to be with the Biden administration

412
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: that it has been with the Trump administration. I feel

413
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,719
Speaker 1: like when Trump was around in office, you saw, you know,

414
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: Tim Cook meeting with Donald Trump very frequently talking about him.

415
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: You saw Trump talking about Cook often. But in terms

416
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: of the Apple relationship with Biden, that has been very different.

417
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: The last time we saw the Biden say anything related

418
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: to Apple, he had to do with unionization and Apple

419
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: retail stores. Tim Cook participated in a Biden administration meeting

420
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: regarding cybersecurity. But you have not seen the type of

421
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: lobbying that Tim Cook did with Donald Trump that you're

422
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: seeing now with Tim Cook Doom with Joe Biden. It

423
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: is much different. It seems like the relationship is definitely

424
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: not as close. Interesting all right, much to continue to

425
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: follow Bloomberg, Smart German, thank you for your reporting their

426
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: meantime back to inflation. On top of surging gas and

427
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: grocery prices, single people are finding another aspect of life

428
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: is getting more expensive. Dating and as costs balloons. Some

429
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: datas are scaling back and being more selective about the

430
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: dates they're going on. This according to data from dating

431
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: apps themselves. Bloomberg's Pauline Kuchero wrote about this and joins us, now,

432
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: so what are we learning about how the dating market

433
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: has changed? Pauline? Yeah, so, you know, I think that

434
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: we're seeing that, as you mentioned, with the cost staying

435
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: on the rise. You know, people really have the love

436
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: and money the top mind when they're looking for a partner.

437
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: That's changing the dating game entirely. Tensions are rising over

438
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: house to fulfill um and people, as I mentioned, people

439
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: are scaling back and being more selective dates they're going

440
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: because they're finding that they're dating costs have doubled. One

441
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: woman I talked to said she spent on average, about

442
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars a month on dating. Now she's spending

443
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: about four hundred. So, you know, people are just being

444
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot more intentional about who they're dating and what

445
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: they're looking for, and they're finding, you know, that they

446
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: want to be with a person who is financially savvy

447
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: and offer some kind of financial stability as well. How

448
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: is this impacting the dating apps themselves? I mean, you know,

449
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: I hear a lot from single friends. You know, these

450
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: apps are already kind of expensive and you don't know

451
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: for sure if you're going to get that payoff. Are

452
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: the costs of a subscription to you know, see those

453
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: extra profiles or get that extra information? Is that going up?

454
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: And are people paying up or is this, you know,

455
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: something that's discretionary, something that they're cutting off given that

456
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: they're under pressure across the board. When it comes to prices, well,

457
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: I can't say too much about the subscription prices on

458
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: dating apps specifically, but when we talk to the dating apps,

459
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: he said, although that some people are being more selective

460
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: about their dates, they're not necessarily stopping their love life entirely.

461
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: Some small, select few people are. They are just looking

462
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: for certain partners instead of you know, going on a

463
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: more spontaneous state. They're making sure that they're being upfront

464
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: with what they want. Um, you know, in the early

465
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: courting phase of dating, which is an extension of the

466
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: stating trend called hardballing, and if someone doesn't really fit

467
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: the bill, um, they're not willing to take a chance

468
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: on that person. Um. You know. Dating apps are also

469
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: finding that people are being a little bit more creative

470
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: about the dates that they're going on. You know, instead

471
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: of maybe going on taking someone out to a really

472
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: nice dinner, maybe they're going to a picnic instead, or

473
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: they're maybe going to a museum or going to a

474
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: farmers market and making a home crew feel I love

475
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: farmers markets, Nothing wrong with that. Are people changing what

476
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: they're looking for? Um? Do do do these apps say

477
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: that that is a alving at all? Yeah, we're definitely

478
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: seeing that evolve. Um. You know, as you mentioned, Americans

479
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: are feeling the pinch from inflation, so finding a person

480
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: who is financially savvy is an increasingly attractive quality. Okay,

481
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: keep the daters who said they keep a budget have

482
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: received sixteen percent more matches and seven percent more likes

483
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: over the past three months than people who said they didn't,

484
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: and nearly half of date years on the A also

485
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: so that they would love to find a partner who

486
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: earns more money than them. So I think you're just

487
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: seeing that, you know, people are looking for a person

488
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: that they know that they can weather a recession with,

489
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,959
Speaker 1: who they know that they can rely on. Um, you know,

490
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: both emotionally and you know, financially as well. All right, interesting, Paul,

491
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: Nick at Chero, thanks for bringing us that Story's more

492
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: at Bloomberg dot com. Okay, coming up, the etherory emerged

493
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: now as a date, we're gonna talk about just how

494
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: massive the impact could be on the crypto industry. Next,

495
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: this is Bloomberg. It's time now for our crypto report.

496
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: And there are new developments in that story of the

497
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: former coin based product manager who was arrested for alleged

498
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: insider trading, and coin bas is now pushing back against

499
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: these allegations are crypto Contributortionale Bossik is here with the

500
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: latest So is coin based defending this former product manager.

501
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: There's really a lot of nuance here, Emily, and really

502
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: the question at stake here is what is a security

503
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: and our digital assets securities. So you take a look

504
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: at this inside your trading case, and you have coin

505
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: Bases chief legal officer Paul grier Wall talking about how

506
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: illicit behavior is something they take super seriously. Obviously coin

507
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: based did cooperate with this investigation. But the thing that's

508
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: really in question here is that definition of securities itself

509
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: and whether this is securities fraud. So, for example, we

510
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: have Paul Paul where while talking about in a blog

511
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: post the idea here that seven of the nine assets

512
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: included in the SEC's charges are listed on coin Basis

513
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: platform and none of these assets are securities. You have

514
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: different regulators here coming in and different definitions here, and

515
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: he to go on. Paul grow Wealth has also said

516
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: that coin base has a rigorous process to analyze and

517
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: review each digital asset before making it available on the exchange,

518
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: a process that the SEC itself has reviewed. Now, if

519
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: you go on to read more of the blog post,

520
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: he talks about and cites the CFTC Commissioner talking about

521
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: how this is a striking example of regulation by enforcement here.

522
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: So you do see some differential between not just the agencies,

523
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: but also in the way that coin base is interacting

524
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: with those agencies as they comply with this investigation of

525
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: an issue here where certain securities were traded before certain

526
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: tokens were listed. But again, are tokens just tokens or

527
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: are they securities on Emily and they yet play out?

528
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: That is the question time indeed, Okay, stay with us.

529
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit more about Ethereum's

530
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: next chapter, the highly anticipated merge. A date has now

531
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,719
Speaker 1: been set and if everything goes to plan, we should

532
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: expect Ethereum's final merge to happen the second week of September.

533
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: More specifically, I want to bring in our next guest,

534
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: Matt Hogan, c IO a bit Wise Asset Management UM. Matt,

535
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: So curious what you're thinking is around the merge and

536
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: just how impactful it would be it will be on

537
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: the broader industry. Yeah, this is a massive piece of

538
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: news for Ethereum and for crypto more broadly. I think

539
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: this is the biggest development in the crypto space since

540
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: the launch of the DeFi summer in. It's going to

541
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: transform Ethereum into an asset that institutional investors UH feel

542
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: increasingly attracted to, maybe even compelled to own, and it

543
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: could be the marker that represents part of the bottoming

544
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: process we're going through in crypto. We may look back

545
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: on this merge, or the announcement of the data the

546
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: merge as a signal market that single moment that turned

547
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: us from sort of the crypto winner UH into at

548
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: least a sideways move before we go to the next

549
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: big up move. Now. We recently interviewed the co founder

550
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: of Tezos, Kathleen Brightman, who didn't have nice things to

551
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: say about Ethereum. Take who quick listen to what she

552
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: had to say. In reality, it's really no different than

553
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: something like hex which is which is kind of a

554
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: Ponzi scheme that's crashed and lust you weeks, which is

555
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: just a token that Big Sleep pays you for freezing at.

556
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: The longer you've reason, the more you receive. It's just

557
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: it's a equation. Obviously, we know, Matt this is very

558
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: tribalistic industry, but she kind of likened Ethereum to a

559
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: Ponzi scheme. Yeah, I don't see that analogy. Ethereum is

560
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: the new infrastructure on which decentralized finance n f t

561
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: s and stable coins are being built. Teos is an

562
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: interesting project that's trying to compete with Ethereum, but it's

563
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: a tiny fraction of the size. It has a tiny

564
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: fraction of the developer community. What she was speaking about

565
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: was part of the merge is going to incentivize long

566
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: term investors in Ethereum to lock up their eath, to

567
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: stake their eath, which allows them to earn a yield

568
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: on their investment, which takes some out of the market

569
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: and should be a creative to prices. I would put

570
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: a more positive frame on it. As a long term investor,

571
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: you're going to be able to access what amounts to

572
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: almost adventure capital style investment, one with huge potential payoff,

573
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: but one where you can earn a yield that could

574
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: be eight, nine or ten or more. I don't think

575
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: it's a Ponzi scheme. I think it's the new Internet

576
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: of finance and we're just at the beginning of that transition. Well,

577
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: speaking of that transition and tribal ism here, what does

578
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: it mean for bitcoin and do you think one wins

579
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: out of the other, especially when you look at how

580
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: nascent a etherium is in terms of valuation compared to bitcoin.

581
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: It's it's a great question. Uh. You know, on one hand, yes,

582
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: ethereum will win out marginally over big coin. By that,

583
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean that today institutional investors have only been in

584
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: bitcoin primarily, and in the future of crypto, they're going

585
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: to be in bitcoin ethereum, and I would argue a

586
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: wide array of assets. That's one of the reasons why

587
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: bit wise creates crypto index funds. So it is going

588
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: to force institutional investors to diversify their holdings. But more

589
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: than that, this is going to be a rising tide

590
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: that lifts all boats again. What's happening in ethereum will

591
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: catalyze new interesting crypto, new opportunities in crypto, and I

592
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: suspect Bitcoin and ethereum will rise side by side. I

593
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: think ethereum share of the crypto market could increase substantially

594
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: compared to Bitcoin. But I suspect that both of them

595
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: are going to be heading up over the next few years.

596
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of questions about state ethereum

597
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: and ethereum, and there's still a bit of a balance

598
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: if you look at kind of the liquidity pools. I'm wondering,

599
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, this is a grand test of time when

600
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: it comes to decentralized finance. There's so much debate about

601
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: whether DeFi will win in the end given the issues

602
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: that we see and in centralized finances in crypto, But

603
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: how do you know what the issues will be moving

604
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: forward as this industry goes Yeah, well you don't know.

605
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: Of course, that's the risk that you take. There is

606
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: no risk free reward in investing, and there's certainly a

607
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: lot of risks in the crypto market. But if you

608
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: look at what took place over the last cycle, we

609
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: saw the rapid emergence of Defy, We saw the rapid

610
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: emergence of n f t s. We saw a hundred

611
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: billion dollars plus flow into stable coins, all built on

612
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: programmable blockchains like Ethereum. As we get through this crypto

613
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: window and start thinking about what are the new products

614
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: that we're going to see in the future, we're gonna

615
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: see growth and defy in n f t s, and

616
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: stable coins will also see huge growth and things like

617
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: web three interactions, gaming, digital identity. I think the market cycle,

618
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: the next market cycle we're moving to, is going to

619
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: be orders of magnitude larger than the last cycle, and

620
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: that was really just a proof of concept phase. This

621
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: next few years is when crypto goes mainstream. So that's

622
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 1: what we expect from Ethereum and the broader crypto into street.

623
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: So tease that out for me a bit. How how

624
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: much bigger do you think the cycle will be? Oh?

625
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's you know, many, multiple

626
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: times bigger. Is the answer to that. Again, we saw

627
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: if you think about cryptos returns, what drives cryptos returns?

628
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: Crypto booms when it develops products that people want. It

629
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: boomed in the early when people develop Bitcoin, which was

630
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: this interesting non monetary ast, non sovereign monetary asset. It

631
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: boomed in when we in the THEORYUM and I c

632
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: O S. The most recent boom was when we had

633
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: n f t s and we had stable coins UH

634
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: and we had defied, but that just penetrated one percent

635
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: in the market. I think the market opportunity for all

636
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 1: of those are ten x. I think there are five

637
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: or six other killer products that will see in the

638
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: next market cycle. So I really think that the next

639
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: boom could be five ten times bigger than the prior boom.

640
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: I think it will be the moment that crypto goes

641
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: mainstream and your friends, your uncle's, your cousins are all

642
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: interact thing with the crypto market via through gaming, digital identity, music,

643
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: n f t S, ticketing, defy traditional n f t

644
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: s or stable points for payments. I do think it

645
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: is borders of magnitude larger. It's probably still a year

646
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: or two off, but you can see it clearly on

647
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: the horizon, and then we're getting closer to it every day. Matt,

648
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: how can always good to have you CEO of bit

649
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: Wise Asset Management, appreciate it and our very own have

650
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: a great weekend. After a few years of complaints from

651
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: pro users looking to unlock the full potential of their

652
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: iPad pro and it's speedy new chips, Apple recently launch

653
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: Stage Manager, a brand new multitasking system. The feature let's

654
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: iPad users run multiple app windows at the same time,

655
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: and it even works far better than before with large

656
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: external monitors. The features exclusive to the latest iPads with

657
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 1: M one chips and also works on computers running Mac

658
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: os Ntura. Users can click through their recent apps on

659
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: the left side of their display and then quickly pop

660
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: any of those programs or workspaces into the foreground. But

661
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that this new multitasking system really fully

662
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 1: cuts it. It's often confusing and sometimes hides key controls

663
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: behind extra menus. It seems like Apple came up with

664
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 1: a solution that dances around the most obvious one, bringing

665
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: full Mac os like multitasking to the iPad. The iPad

666
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: now has big eleven inch and nearly thirteen inch displays

667
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: in the same M one chip that powers the Mac

668
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: Book are and the iMac. It can handle and should

669
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: be able to make good use of core Mac multitasking

670
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: features like xpos A and mission control pro users like

671
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: myself want that full flexibility to run as many windows

672
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: as possible at one time and quickly clicked between several

673
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: tasks simultaneously. The good news is is that stage Manager

674
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: builds in new technologies for the iPad, like multi window

675
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: support and rescalable and resizeable windows. That means that some

676
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 1: of the underlying technology that would be needed to eventually

677
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: implement full Mac like multitasking is now built into iPad

678
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: O S sixteen. Only time will tell if Apple will

679
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: eventually fully unlocked the iPad. The good news is is

680
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: that stage Manager today is optional, so it appears that

681
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: even Apple knows that one day it will need a

682
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: brand new solution for all iPad users. I'm Mark German.

685
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: there is a new social media app in town, and

686
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: it's being dubbed the anti Instagram. The app requires users

687
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: to take a photo within a two minute window every day,

688
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: and it has soared in popularity over the last few

689
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: weeks in spite of complaints that it crashes at a

690
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: critical moment. It's called be real, and it took the

691
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: top spot in the US in Apple's app store three

Speaker 1: love vintage Apple products, this is the holy Grail. Steve

695
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: Jobs prototype for the first Apple desktop computer is up

696
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: for auction. It was handbuilt by co founder Steve Wozniak

697
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy six and it is one of two

698
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: hundred different models right now, it's going for about two

699
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: d thirty thousand dollars and Apple one prototype was sold

700
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: for four hundred seventy thousand dollars. And that does it

701
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: for the edition of Bloomberg Technology. We've got a huge
