Despite strong cloud growth, Amazon shares fall on revenue shortfall and lower guidance
SHARE
Despite higher-than-expected cloud computing revenue growth, Amazon.com Inc. saw its shares fall about 7% in after-hours trading on a second-quarter revenue shortfall and lower-than-expected guidance for the current quarter.
For much of the past year, the pandemic helped Amazon.com Inc. reach new heights as more people shopped online and more businesses flocked to the cloud, and not even the easing of pandemic restrictions seemed to slow it down.
But that pandemic boost appears to be over now, even as the Delta variant threatens to send more people into relative isolation once again. The retail and cloud giant said today that its second-quarter profit jumped 50% from a year ago, to $7.8 billion, or $15.12 a share. Revenue rose 27%, to $113.1 billion, though without the benefit of positive currency exchange rates, growth was 24%.

Journalist and author George Packer is one of the country’s most astute observers of American society – with all of its flaws. But after years of reporting on our decline, Packer experienced a new feeling while writing his latest book: hope.
In 
Last Best Hope: America in Crisis and Renewal, George Packer writes that American society can be defined by four narratives. There’s “Free America,” dominated by wealthy entrepreneurs. “Smart America” is the enclave of the educated, elite class — the beneficiaries of Amazon Prime, Lipitor, and cold brew coffee. “Real America” is made up of Christians and White farmers, people who work with their hands and often fight the country’s wars. And finally comes “Just America,” those who focus on identity and an America divided into victims or oppressors. Each narrative, Packer claims, has something of value to offer, but none alone will nurture democracy. So, what might a fifth narrative look like? George Packer joins us this Friday at noon, and Saturday at 11am, to talk about 

FCC Commissioner Targets Corporate Welfare for Big Tech

Federal Communications Commission member Brendan Carr says the agency should require Big Tech to fund internet infrastructure, following the introduction last week of a bill requiring the FCC to consider collecting contributions from technology companies.
The bill—introduced July 21 by Senate Republicans Roger Wicker, Todd Young, and Shelley Moore Capito—instructs the Federal Communications Commission to look into charging major tech companies such as Google, Facebook, and Netflix to fund broadband networks.

Someone was humming For The First Time In Forever in the cafe at the Jerwood Space, where the musical Frozen (from which the number hails — as if you didn't know!) was in its final week of rehearsals before transferring to the refurbished Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, for technical run-throughs.
The song seemed appropriate. The last face-to-face (not virtual) interviews I did, back in March last year, were with Samantha Barks and Stephanie McKeon. 
They play the show's stars, sisters Elsa and Anna, whose once close relationship is torn apart when Elsa exiles herself, terrified her deep-freezing powers are getting out of control.

Big Tech goliaths like Facebook and Amazon unveiled whopping profits this week, showing their dominance in lockdown lifestyles is on course to grow well beyond the pandemic.
"Tech wins the day, the week, and seemingly the year," Futurum Research analysts said of the surging revenues, driven by digital advertising, cloud computing, gaming and booming use of smartphones and e-commerce.
