From The NYT: The picture that perhaps emerges most starkly from the mountain of figures and tax schedules prepared by Mr. Trump’s accountants is of a businessman-president in a tightening financial vise.

According to The NYT, “He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made.”

Let’s start with perhaps the most shocking revelation, which is that the president — a purported billionaire and self-described business genius — only paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016, the year he won the presidency.

Donald Trump’s tax returns have long been the Holy Grail of those who, well, want to hold the president accountable to the law.

Most of Mr. Trump’s core enterprises — from his constellation of golf courses to his conservative-magnet hotel in Washington — report losing millions, if not tens of millions, of dollars year after year.

Facebook has temporarily shamed Apple out of taking a 30 percent cut of paid online events organized by small businesses and hosted on Facebook -- things like cooking classes, workout sessions, and happy hours.

Demand for these kinds of online events has soared during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Also bear in mind that Comcast acquired ad-supported video service Xumo in February, giving it yet another streaming brand for consumers and advertisers who may be wary of an NBC and Universal-focused Peacock.

While the company hasn't disclosed how many of those users are already paying for other Comcast services, clearly, some of them are.

It has already accumulated at least 15 million "subscribers" since it became available to Xfinity (Comcast's cable and broadband brand) customers in April.

The good news is that the loss of cable customers has been largely offset by the growth of Comcast's broadband service.

Meanwhile, the shocking success of Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) -- specifically, the 178 million streaming subscribers it has added over the course of the past 10 years -- has contributed to the slow and steady decline of Comcast's cable business.

Photographer: Frank Barry The old Roebling wire plant — the city’s largest employer for decades — closed in 1974 and still sits partly vacant, as do many other buildings.

The boast that local officials posted on a bridge in 1935 in big block letters — TRENTON MAKES THE WORLD TAKES — hangs as an albatross over the entrance to the city.

Photographer: Frank Barry “We have a couple of people who are clergy who watch, different religious backgrounds,” — people, Weiner says, who would be never be drawn to a band with songs like “All These Kids Are Way Too High.”

And now, because I have focused so much attention on racism and discussions of race, not just in America, but specifically in the entertainment business and music business, and I’m talking about these issues, I’ve got people that are really into the show who are in it for the discussion aspect.”

Julian Siegel figures business dropped about 20% earlier this spring at his Fort Lauderdale, Florida, restaurant after someone posted a picture on the Nextdoor app of people waiting in his parking lot for food.

Social media also gives people isolated in a pandemic a quick way to join communities that share their beliefs.

Shaming can help people feel reassured that they have done things right and that the other person must have made a mistake, says Sherry Turkle, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor who studies social media.

Social media sites like Facebook take this practice, which used to be confined to social circles or by geography, and scale it to mass proportions, making it effectively limitless.

But the warp speed and reach of social media in the pandemic era gives the practice an aggressive new dimension.

Microsoft has released a new set of driver and firmware updates for the Surface Laptop 3, in addition to the separate set of updates for the Surface Pro X.

The Surface Laptop 3 comes in Intel and AMD-based variants, and the set of updates arriving today is only for the versions with Intel processors.

For reference, that's the 13.5-inch version of the Surface Laptop 3, or any variant of the Surface Laptop 3 for Business.

Here's the full list of updates: As usual, the updates are available for users running Windows 10 version 1903 - the May 2019 Update - or newer, which should apply to everyone, considering the Surface Laptop 3 released in late 2019.

If you have an AMD variant of the Surface Laptop 3, the latest set of updates was released earlier this month, and it fixed a number of issues with that particular version.

It says it has been talking to Apple and Google, and the hope is that they can take some aspects of the Herald Bluetooth system to improve their technology, which the majority of government contact tracing apps use.

'We're all friends' But engineers at VMware carried on developing the Bluetooth technology behind their app and believe they have improved it, going some way to mitigating the problem with detecting iPhones and making the measurement of distance between phones even more accurate.

In June it was shelved because the app, developed without the co-operation of Apple and Google, failed to pick up contacts between iPhones when they were asleep.

VMware Pivotal was contracted by the health service's digital division NHSX to work on the original contact-tracing app, which was trialled on the Isle of Wight in May.

The company also points out that the Apple Google system is only available to governments, so businesses such as cruise ships or office buildings might wish to develop their own apps using the Herald technology.

A key component of a proactive management plan, whether it be the responsibility of an in-house IT department or outsourced to a trusted IT partner, is patching the servers and computers on the network, both office based and remote.

Evidence had mounted from the early indicators of compromise that hackers were actively exploiting the vulnerability to gain access to protected network resources.

The Department of Homeland Security also issued a clear and rare directive that agencies apply the necessary patch to close off this vulnerability or remove impacted servers from their networks.

All business should be checking with their internal IT departments or outsourced IT partners to confirm that they are both aware of the issue and have taken the necessary steps to protect the business against it.

If your IT experts are not aware of this threat, that is reason for serious concern as this important and time sensitive issue has been clearly reported on in both cybersecurity, general IT and mainstream media for over a week as of this publishing date of this column.

Svane (one of the founders) shares their journey from Copenhagen to San Francisco Bay Area, full of personal and business hardships, along with his unfiltered insights into what it takes to build and run a high-growth company.

Startupland: How Three Guys Risked Everything to Turn an Idea Into a Global Business by Mikkel Svane This is a story of how three guys in Copenhagen founded Zendesk to escape their corporate jobs and make customer service less painful.

Even though the book is not a how-to guide, you’ll find a few specific ideas that will help you to create your own differentiation strategy, appeal to customers who have a ton of choices, and think of ways to dramatically change your business growth rate.

The Year Without Pants: WordPress.com and the Future of Work by Scott Berkun Its whimsical title notwithstanding, the book provides helpful insights on restructuring companies for completely remote work.

As an entrepreneur, you spend a lot of time working on new ideas and business, solving problems, and creating something out of nothing.

If you want to learn Q, one person to know is Nick Psaris, a New York-based developer at Bank of America who describes himself as “passionate about using and teaching kdb+ to transform businesses,” and who just wrote a book titled, “A Functional Introduction to Machine Learning in Q.” You can find Psaris’ Github page here.

Q is its query language, while K is the language behind KDB, which breaks down into K and Data Base plus.

In 2017, eFinancialCareers (Dice’s sister site) noted that KDB+ was the database system used by banks, hedge funds, and high-frequency trading houses looking for fast data extraction and analytics.

For those in the know, the languages you really want to know in finance are K and Q, the languages that go with the KDB database.

In October last year, Arthur Whitney, the Canadian computer scientist who invented the K and Q languages and developed the KDB database, launched Shakti, a new high-speed data platform with a Python interface.

To put that into perspective, at the end of the 2016-17 year, Boohoo shares were on a trailing P/E of nearly 70.

It’s a one-off, it wouldn’t have been a long-term issue anyway, and Boohoo shareholders can get back to thinking about Boohoo share price growth.

The Boohoo share price gained 10% in response, on the morning of the report’s release.

After conducting the review, Alison Levitt QC reported said she is “satisfied that Boohoo did not deliberately allow poor conditions and low pay to exist within its supply chain, it did not intentionally profit from them and its business model is not founded on exploiting workers in Leicester.”

From July’s low, Boohoo shares are already up 70%, and that’s the quick profit you could have made by going against the prevailing emotion.

Well, yes, but especially in times of high unemployment and financial distress, many candidates will apply for jobs for which they are, by conventional standards, overqualified.

"You never find the perfect candidate," said Paul Falcone, an HR executive and author of "96 Great Interview Questions to Ask Before You Hire."

"Sometimes my clients like to hire an overqualified candidate," said Gregory Gary, director of business development at Broadleaf Results, a talent management company.
