Podcasts about declines

We kicked off the episode with a bit of weather banter, lamenting the lingering cold despite the arrival of spring. This lighthearted opening tied directly into our episode's focus on "tricks" as we wrapped up our literary podcast April's “Tricksters” theme. We reflected on the heavier topics from previous episodes, like the intense themes in Shutter Island, and decided to end the month on a lighter, playful note with a game.As always, we reminded listeners about the related content available on our website, Fully-Booked.ca, including recent articles like the intriguing investigation into how a book with only 444 ratings managed to top Amazon's bestseller list.Explaining the Game: “Trick Each Other Into Reading It”To close out the theme of tricks and foolery, we introduced a game where we each selected a handful of books. The goal was to describe these books vaguely enough to spark interest without revealing the title. The twist? If one of us successfully "enticed "tricked" the other into saying they'd read the book, that person would have to actually read it before the end of the year.The rules were:Describe the book's plot enticingly but vaguely.The other host guesses if they'd want to read it.Only after their decision is the book's identity revealed.If one of us is “tricked,” we're committing to reading the book.Play along with us and try to guess on your own!

Small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasingly turning to third-party service providers to enhance their capabilities in artificial intelligence (AI) and hybrid cloud solutions. A recent Forrester report, commissioned by Crayon, indicates that 31% of surveyed leaders from Australia, New Zealand, India, and Southeast Asia plan to combine in-house teams with external providers to improve their AI capabilities within the next year. The report highlights a significant interest in AI, with 83% of respondents experimenting with free AI tools, although many are still in the exploration phase rather than implementation. Additionally, 87% of businesses are increasing their budgets for third-party services, signaling a shift towards advisory and pilot projects rather than traditional managed services.In Europe, there is a growing trend among customers to seek alternatives to U.S. cloud service providers due to concerns over reliability, pricing, and data security. Discussions at the recent KubeCon EU event revealed a tripling of inquiries for local cloud solutions, with companies like NextCloud gaining traction. The dominance of major players like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, and Google, which control about 70% of the European cloud market, is being challenged as organizations question their control over data and consider a transition to trusted local providers.Meanwhile, U.S. manufacturing sentiment is declining, with many manufacturers bracing for recession-like conditions amid ongoing trade tensions. Surveys indicate a significant drop in optimism among factory owners, with the New York Federal Reserve reporting one of the lowest outlooks in over two decades. Although manufacturing output saw a slight increase in March, the overall landscape remains volatile, with future hiring intentions at their lowest since 2016. This juxtaposition of rising output against declining sentiment underscores the complexities facing the manufacturing sector.Lastly, Synology is tightening its grip on hardware by implementing restrictions on the use of third-party hard drives in its future network-attached storage devices. Starting in 2025, only Synology-branded drives and those certified by the company will be supported for full functionality. This move raises concerns about vendor lock-in, particularly for managed service providers (MSPs) who have relied on Synology for its reliability and ease of use. Additionally, a cautionary tale emerges from U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's misuse of Signal for sharing sensitive military information, highlighting the importance of operational security and the need for a strong cybersecurity culture within organizations. Three things to know today 00:00 Tech Tides Are Shifting: SMBs Want Advice, Europe Wants Control, and U.S. Industry Feels the Strain05:58 Hard Drives Locked Out: Synology Tightens the Rules, and MSPs Might Rethink Their NAS Game07:32 He Did It Again: Hegseth's Signal Habit Raises the Stakes for Cybersecurity Culture  Supported by:  https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/ https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship  Join Dave April 22nd to learn about Marketing in the AI Era.  Signup here:  https://hubs.la/Q03dwWqg0 All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Markets sold off on Friday with results outside of "normal" pullback parameters. [NOTE: We had FOUR such pullbacks last year.] Declines of 1 - 1.5% were normal, and occurred prior to major events like the Yen Carry Trade blow up and the sell-off going into the election...which were followed by a short term bounce. This morning, futures are pointing down, and we'll be looking to retest the lows set back in the initial decline. If markets are able to hold the present level of support, we expect to see a bit of a bounce, so selling here tends to be a mistake. There is a good news/bad news scenario: The good news is markets are over sold; the bad news is markets failed at the 200-DMA, and suggests markets could even trade a bit lower over the next few weeks. Sentiment is pretty negative, so be careful in your positioning.

The housing market saw significant “softening” in February, with inventory rising, demand shrinking, and buyers regaining more control while sellers find themselves in a tough position. Why is this happening now, especially as mortgage rates continue to dip? With recession fears and economic tensions running high, Americans worry what's coming next, causing much of the economy to shift. With price declines already happening in some markets and more potentially on the horizon, when is the right time to buy? We're back with a March 2025 housing market update, going over what's happening in the national housing market, which states are seeing the hottest (and coldest) housing demand, what's going on with mortgage interest rates, and why the market is noticeably softening. But the real question remains: How can YOU continue building wealth while others fear the worst? Is this your “be greedy when others are fearful” moment? Dave is giving his take and sharing how he's tailoring his own investing strategy in 2025. Find investor-friendly tax and financial experts with BiggerPockets Tax & Financial Services Finder!

Send us a textClassical education has declined and fallen before - as the Roman Empire succumbed to internal weakness and external threats, so did its bilingual educational regime. Humanists in the Renaissance revived the ancient world's Greek and Latin literary paideia, or at least created a new system of education modelled on it, which flourished for centuries, well into the modern era. But it fell apart once again after the catastrophe of the First World War. In Chapter Two of Climbing Parnassus, Tracy Lee Simmons give an account of classical education's many lives.Tracy Lee Simmons' Climbing Parnassus: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9781933859507Cicero's Pro Archia Poeta: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780674991743John Henry Newman's The Idea of a University: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780268011505Micah Meadowcroft's Classical Education's Aristocracy of Anyone: https://nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/classical-educations-aristocracy-of-anyoneDavid Sider's Greek Verse on a Vase by Douris: https://www.ascsa.edu.gr/uploads/media/hesperia/41012854.pdfNew Humanists is brought to you by the Ancient Language Institute: https://ancientlanguage.com/Links may have referral codes, which earn us a commission at no additional cost to you.

Who is the GOAT of basketball? One of the evergreen sports debates that will rage on into eternity. However, with the tragic death of the Black Mamba himself, Kobe Bryant's legacy seems to be overshadowing LeBron James'.

Are there any blemishes on their careers? In other news, the NFL draft is almost a month away, and Steve Kim and Jason talk about rising and falling draft stock. Shedeur Sanders' stock seems to be in a free fall. Many question whether he has what it takes to be a locker-room leader in the NFL.

As Karen Read's highly anticipated murder retrial approaches, a judge ruled Friday that there is no need for a special hearing to determine whether defense-hired cell phone expert Richard Green can testify. Norfolk Superior Court Judge Beverly Cannone made the decision after hearing arguments from both the prosecution and defense, setting the stage for a critical ruling on Green's role in the case. Read, 44, is accused of striking her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, with her SUV and leaving him to die in a snowbank on January 29, 2022, after a night of drinking. She has pleaded not guilty, claiming she is the victim of a law-enforcement cover-up and that O'Keefe was fatally beaten inside a nearby Canton home before his body was left outside. Prosecutors had pushed for a hearing to examine Green's credentials and methodology, with special prosecutor Hank Brennan arguing that Green's claims were unreliable and “lack any evidentiary support.” Defense attorney Robert Alessi pushed back, arguing that Green is qualified and used five forensic tools to reach his conclusions.      Karen read-Defense attorney Robert Alessi.MP4 With Read's retrial set to begin in April, the case is once again drawing national attention. Just weeks before the retrial, Investigation Discovery will air A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read, a three-night docuseries offering “unprecedented access” to Read, her legal team, and key figures in the case. The series, which will delve into the investigation and trial proceedings, will premiere on March 17 and 18 from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., with a one-hour finale on March 19 at 9 p.m. It will also be available to stream on Max. With tensions high and the battle over forensic evidence heating up, Read is set to return to court on April 1 as both sides prepare for a fierce legal showdown. While Cannone ruled that a special hearing was unnecessary, she has not yet decided whether Green's testimony will be allowed at trial. Green, a digital forensics expert, previously testified that Jennifer McCabe—who was with Read the night of O'Keefe's death—googled “hos long to die in cold” around 2:30 a.m. The prosecution has maintained that McCabe only made the search hours later, at Read's request, after O'Keefe's body was discovered. Green also stated that McCabe had deleted call records, a claim that could prove crucial to Read's third-party culprit defense. The prosecution also sought to block another defense expert, Dr. Marie Russell, from testifying, but Cannone rejected that effort after two lengthy hearings. Russell has testified that wounds found on O'Keefe's arm were consistent with dog bites, contradicting the prosecution's claim that he was struck by Read's vehicle. The legal wrangling over expert witnesses is far from over. On Thursday, Cannone is expected to hear arguments on whether two FBI and DOJ accident reconstructionists, Andrew Rentschler and Daniel Wolfe, can testify in Read's retrial. Rentschler previously testified that O'Keefe's injuries were not consistent with being hit by a car, a key claim that challenges the state's case against Read. Prosecutor Brennan has argued that Read's defense team will not be able to meet discovery obligations under Rule 14, citing the “history and complexity” of the experts' employment. The outcome of Thursday's hearing could have significant implications for the retrial, as the defense continues to challenge the prosecution's forensic evidence and investigative methods. Adding to the heightened public interest, Investigation Discovery is set to premiere A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read, a three-night docuseries offering behind-the-scenes access to Read, her attorneys, and key figures in the case. The series will air March 17 and 18 from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., with a one-hour finale on March 19 at 9 p.m. It will also be available for streaming on Max. As Read's retrial approaches on April 1, both sides are locked in an intense battle over evidence, expert testimony, and competing narratives about what really happened the night O'Keefe died. #KarenRead #JusticeForKarenRead #JohnOkeefe #TrueCrime #IDNetwork #CourtroomDrama #MurderTria Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The NBA is so bad that not even Caitlin Clark wants to be associated with it. As the National Basketball Association continues to decline, more and more people are distancing themselves from the once-heralded association. Whitlock points out that poor leadership has led to the plateau in viewership the NBA has seen recently. Adam Silver has no idea how to get the train back on the tracks, as he even suggests that teams should play only 10-minute quarters, just like the WNBA. Even worse, Caitlin Clark turned down the NBA's offer to participate in a three-point shooting contest during All-Star Weekend. Someone better grab a life raft, because this ship is sinking. Steve Kim joins Jason to weigh in on the NBA's decline while also covering the unrivaled league's surprising ratings, Bill Belichick wanting to rename the Lombardi Trophy after Tom Brady, Joe Montana saying Dan Marino is the best quarterback of all time, Cam Newton stirring the pot and framing Dwight Howard as gay, and the new movement to boycott the Super Bowl. Later, T.J. Moe joins "Fearless" to debate whether Tony Dungy running for Senate in Michigan is a good idea. The former Super Bowl-winning coach is currently part of NBC's "Football Night in America." Assuming Dungy's Christian faith aligns him with the Republican MAGA movement, a career in politics would almost certainly end his TV career, especially at NBC. Wrapping up our show, Shemeka Michelle discusses a recent Vanity Fair article debunking the Obama drama.
