☆ Exclusive: Twitter is losing its most active users, internal documents show
  + stars: | 2022-10-25 | by ( Sheila Dang | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +6 min
The reality, according to internal Twitter research seen by Reuters, goes far beyond the handful of examples of celebrities ghosting their own accounts. Twitter was motivated to investigate “disturbing” trends among users that may have been masked by overall growth in daily active users and better understand the decline in the company’s most active users, the documents said. Twitter’s most active English-speaking users were also increasingly interested in cryptocurrencies, reaching an all-time high in late 2021, the internal documents showed. ‘DEVASTATING’ LOSSESTopics that have traditionally made Twitter a popular platform for its millions of users are now in decline among the most active English-speaking users, the documents show. But the categories have since lost the highest number of heavy Twitter users and have shown no signs of recovery, the report said.

Oct 25 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) wants the U.S. telecommunications regulatory agency to ensure a delay in some 5G C-Band transmissions from smaller operators. The letter was sent to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel was copied. The NTIA, FAA and FCC did not immediately comment. The FAA letter said the voluntarily mitigations by AT&T and Verizon "have resulted in the safe deployment of more than 50,000 wireless antennas across the nation." Nolen's letter seeks near-term conversations at senior levels between the NTIA, FAA and FCC.
☆ Foreign business groups in China wary as new Xi term begins
  + stars: | 2022-10-24 | by ( Josh Horwitz | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
SHANGHAI, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Overseas business groups in China expressed on Monday wariness about President's Xi Jinping's newly unveiled leadership team and his stated priorities, with some urging against greater state intervention in the market. While the European business group was positive on remarks Xi made on environmental protection, it said it wanted more clarity on how China planned to remain committed to reform and opening up but also how it would "stay independent and self-reliant". "It is not clear how these two statements can be reconciled in practice," it said. Overseas businesses in China have grown increasingly critical of policies such as a tough zero-tolerance stance on COVID-19, which they say is discouraging investment and preventing them from attracting foreign staff.

☆ Opinion | Frustrated With Polling? Pollsters Are, Too
  + stars: | 2022-10-24 | by ( Quoctrung Bui | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +18 min
But what’s really troubling pollsters going into this election is that it’s unclear how much more error these problems will add during this cycle. Just because you put the right ingredients in a bowl, doesn’t mean you’re going to end up with a cake. I think a lot of that has been swept under the rug because the move to online polling seems so inexorable. Pollsters don’t know what people are seeing, hearing and reading. I know at FiveThirtyEight you can search by A-rated or B-rated, but I don’t know how they’re coming up with these ratings.

Donald Trump said threats of being a "bride of another prisoner" should be used to find the source of the Dobbs leak. In a rambling monologue, Trump lamented about how "in this country, they leak all over the place, even on the Supreme Court." "By the way, you have to find the leaker of the Supreme, you have to find the leaker. This person leaked from the Supreme Court." And you say, 'That's okay, you're going to jail.'

Westwood, who has a disability due to a brain injury, told Insider how the scam changed his life. In late July, Westwood's mother, Mary-Ellen Field, received a text message from one of Westwood's caregivers, she told Insider. Justin Westwood"Then he started asking me for money again, which usually means he's in trouble," she told Insider. It wasn't until he started asking for money for his gas bill and constantly coming over for dinner that his mom understood how little money Westwood had.

☆ These two strategies can help you stay diversified in any kind of stock market

Barbell strategy The other way to think about diversification — and one we used heavily during this year's choppy market — is the barbell portfolio strategy. And if inflation persists but also economic activity picks up, you better own energy stocks. That also brings more demand into the oil market, so expect oil prices and the energy stocks tied to it to benefit. But using correlations and the barbell method to create a diverse mix of holdings can help you stay invested in market.

It was expected to decelerate further to 4.4% in the fourth quarter, according to an Oct. 13-19 Reuters poll. Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com RegisterThe median expectation was for 6.9% growth in the 2022-23 fiscal year, slightly above International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank projections of 6.8%. While those figures were only trimmed from the previous poll medians, a deteriorating global economic outlook suggests there may be further downgrades in coming months. "This, we believe, will result in the RBI having to shift its focus toward supporting growth and away from anchoring inflation expectations by engineering a growth slowdown." The poll showed the RBI taking a softer approach with rates.
☆ Anti-Defamation League urges Adidas to sever ties with Ye's Yeezy

The Anti-Defamation League is urging Adidas to sever ties with Ye, calling out his recent hateful comments in a letter to Adidas CEO Kasper Rorsted and Chair Thomas Rabe. In the interim, though, the retailer said it would "continue to co-manage the current product" from Ye's Yeezy brand, according to an Oct. 6 statement. In recent days, Ye's comments have escalated to include threatening and hateful comments about Jewish people. The ADL complied a list of what it deemed harmful recent comments by Ye. Morningstar analyst David Swartz estimates Yeezy sales for Adidas to be around $2 billion annually, potentially making up 10% of Adidas's total sales.
☆ The bull case for stocks is still alive, but it's on increasingly shaky ground, DataTrek says
  + stars: | 2022-10-19 | by ( Matthew Fox | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
There is still a bull case that suggests further upside for the stock market, according to DataTrek. The upside case hinges on inflation and rates decelerating considerably over the next six months. The bull case for stocks would only get stronger if analysts' corporate earnings estimates stop moving lower and bottom out. "Pull these points together and you have a reasonable upside case for US stocks." But there is still plenty of risk, and any derailment of the above factors would reset the six-month clock and lead to more doldrums for the stock market.

Tournament organisers have not publicly clarified their approach to policing during the competition, and the U.S. Embassy and others have told fans they could face punishment for behaviour that would be tolerated elsewhere. Organisers have told diplomats and police from qualified countries they intend to show flexibility for fans who commit relatively minor infringements, Reuters reported last month.

☆ Ukraine lawmakers brand Chechnya 'Russian-occupied' in dig at Kremlin
  + stars: | 2022-10-18 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Ichkeria is the historical name of Russia's southern region of Chechnya that was devastated by two bloody wars between Russian troops and Chechen separatists after the 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union. A majority of Ukrainian lawmakers voted on Tuesday to back a resolution that "recognises the Chechen republic of Ichkeria as territory temporarily occupied by the Russian Federation as a result of armed aggression which contravened the UN's Statute". Ukraine uses the same language - "temporarily occupied" - to describe swathes of Ukrainian territory that were seized by Russian forces in 2014 and following this year's invasion. Ukraine's 450-seat parliament, which has continued to function behind closed doors despite Russian attacks on the capital Kyiv and other cities, said 290 lawmakers had voted to adopt the resolution. The parliament known in Ukraine as the Verkhovna Rada said 352 lawmakers were present for the vote.

☆ ‘Muppets in Moscow’ Review: ‘R’ Is for Russia
  + stars: | 2022-10-17 | by ( Meghan Cox Gurdon | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
In 1993, commercial airplanes landing in Moscow were jammed with church and business types eager to establish a hold in the rowdy, risky atmosphere of newly post-Soviet Russia. Among the influx of hopeful foreigners was an intrepid American television producer named Natasha Lance. As a teenager, Ms. Lance had been so enamored of Russian literature that she’d changed her name from Susan to the more romantic and Chekhovian alternative. Fluent in Russian, having studied in the Soviet Union, Ms. Lance arrived in Moscow with an agenda that fell somewhere between the commerce and religion of her fellow passengers. More to the point, for policy makers, a Russian “Sesame Street” was a way to spread American values such as racial and ethnic tolerance, the legitimacy of nontraditional sex roles, and the vigor of an open society.

BEIJING, Oct 14 (Reuters) - China's ultra-strict COVID-19 curbs are taking a toll on businesses and jobseekers as Beijing stresses again and again the need to maintain its zero-tolerance approach to the virus, to save lives, if not livelihoods. Keeping a lid on China's COVID death toll has come at a cost to its economy. Business was disrupted at first by temporary closures to comply with COVID policies. In January-March, China's economy barely grew as authorities battled with the highly transmissible Omicron variant. Since July, Zheng Mili, 30, has sent hundreds of job applications and done dozens of interviews in Beijing.
