This year for International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Adam Swig wanted to do something different. The S.F.-based philanthropist, known in large part for organizing giant Jewish-themed parties and fundraisers, had recently joined Clubhouse, a new invitation-only app that allows users to talk (or just listen) in group conversations. Topics range from entrepreneurship to electronic music to coping with ADHD, and in December, Swig had a positive experience with the app, organizing an event called “Matzo Ball” in which attendees were asked which type of matzah ball they prefer: sinkers or floaters. Adam Swig So when the Holocaust commemoration day came around on Jan. 27, Swig decided to use Clubhouse to highlight the voice of Sami Steigmann, a survivor who lives in New York City. Jewish rapper Kosha Dillz was included in the program, and Swig advertised it as “The First Holocaust Survivor on Clubhouse.” The conversation turned out to be a major hit, as roughly 15,000 people joined the room over the course of more than a dozen hours, Swig said. Steigmann shared his story and took questions for five hours, and after he left, the conversation about the Holocaust and Jewish history lasted another 11 hours (note: some Clubhouse sessions…

O, Twitter TWTR.N and Alphabet Inc's Google GOOGL.O about clamping down on COVID misinformation and getting their help to stop it from going ...

My little 8lb pup likes to prove he's faster and more agile than Daddy. The minute we step outside, he likes to rocket around my legs, wrapping my feet in his leash. Walking with him is something of an exercise in extracting myself from his exuberant tangles. Filming my YouTube videos felt quite similar for quite some time. When I began shooting hands-on YouTube videos, I used a cheap $20 lavalier mic at the end of a 20ft cord connected to my phone. No matter where I went in my workshop or lab, I got tangled up in that cord. Eventually, I invested in a remote wireless microphone system and a dedicated shotgun mic. That was a while ago. Both still work but neither is currently for sale. Both shotgun and clip-on mics can help you produce YouTube videos and you can probably get away with just one type. But I find that each serves its own purpose. A shotgun mic is far better than just the mic on your camera or phone, but it's unidirectional. It picks up what it points at. So, for all those YouTube videos you've seen where someone seems to be leaning into the camera…

It turns out a congressional hearing aimed partly at investigating stock-pumping on the internet is a great opportunity for, well, pumping stocks on the internet. Thursday’s House Financial Services Committee hearing on recent volatility in GameStop shares was a mostly serious affair. Unless you were watching the hearing on YouTube, where a fast-flowing comment section gave netizens opportunities to tout their favorite speculative stock, cryptocurrency, or even their favorite slightly radioactive commodity. In this online community, turning off the caps lock is optional, and rocket emojis are mandatory. “DON’T BUY DOGE, IT’S A MEMECOIN.BUY BITCOIN.” One commenter wrote. “Vaxart for COVID PILL VACCINE,” chimed in another, in a reference to the biotech startup aiming to develop an oral vaccine for the coronavirus. Other commenters were there to remind the community that there are other asset classes besides speculative stocks and cryptocurrency—one can also bet on commodities too. “URANIUM, URANIUM, URANIUM,” wrote one commenter, though it was unclear whether they were bullish or bearish. No matter what the internet decides to bid up en masse next, it is safe to say that not everyone learned a lesson from GameStop’s epic rise and fall.

ST LOUIS, MO - AUGUST 22: John Gant #53 of the St. Louis Cardinals pitches against the Cincinnati Reds in the seventh inning at Busch Stadium on August 22, 2020 in St Louis, Missouri. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images) St. Louis Cardinals reliever John Gant was trending on Twitter a few days ago. Why? Because he’s good.On most baseball teams, relief pitchers get lost in the shuffle. That wasn’t so for the St. Louis Cardinals this week, as mentions of John Gant were blowing up on Twitter.@stl_nation appeared to start the craze with this tweet:Cardinals fans obliged and expressed their appreciation for the reliever. This isn’t the first time Gant has been the subject of memes. Those who follow the St. Louis Cardinals subreddit will often see the message of “Who is John Gant?” from the Cardinals faithful, often followed by the obligatory “what,” “when,” “where,” “why” and “how.”Gant is more than a meme, though; he’s been a very productive pitcher for the Cardinals during his time in St. Louis, and fans rightfully took notice.Before Gant’s arrival in St. Louis, those outside Atlanta who knew of him might have only been aware of his unusual delivery, which was eventually forbidden…

This company has turned $2,500 into $1 million, but it's probably not on your radar. This article represents the opinion of the writer, who may disagree with the “official” recommendation position of a Motley Fool premium advisory service. We’re motley! Questioning an investing thesis -- even one of our own -- helps us all think critically about investing and make decisions that help us become smarter, happier, and richer. What company has turned $250 million into $100 billion in the past 25 years by focusing mostly on online marketplaces? You might be thinking Amazon, but the company I'm actually referring to is IAC/InterActiveGroup (NASDAQ:IAC), the interactive media conglomerate long led by media mogul Barry Diller. Following its spinoff of Match Group last year, IAC -- along with the 10 enterprises it has spun off over its history -- would be worth about $100 billion, according to a recent shareholder letter from the company. This is up from the $250 million that IAC's predecessor, Silver King, was worth when Diller took it over in 1995. That comes out to a compound annual growth rate of 27%, easily besting the S&P 500 historical average return of 9% and even topping Warren Buffett's Berkshire…

It appears as though Twitch unintentionally removed the ability to download clips from their platform last year. It is actually still possible but there is no longer a simplified way to do this, so in this article, we are going to be looking at how to download Twitch clips to make your life easier. There are tools available on the internet that can assist you in downloading clips from twitch but you can actually just do it straight from your browser (as long as you use Chrome or Firefox). How To Download Twitch Clips From Chrome Or Firefox This method may seem strange but it is actually the easiest way to go. Obviously, the main downside is that this only works with Google Chrome or Firefox, so if you are looking to download Twitch clips on a different browser you may have to skip this method. Open the clip you want to download and right-click the video. You will see "Inspect" at the bottom, click this. Scroll up until you see the tag and double click.  When you double-click, it will highlight the .mp4 file. Copy this text. Download the Twitch clips Now open another window in your browser, paste…

Published 19 February 2021 The outcomes of the prestigious 2020 SURF Awards for Best Practice in Community Regeneration were announced last night at a virtual celebratory presentation event streamed live via Vimeo. Ninth Valley Having postponed the annual sit down dinner in the Grand Central Hotel in December, SURF delivered a virtual Awards Dinner for the first time in its 23-year history. Representatives of the five category winning initiatives for 2020 were personally congratulated on their inspiring work by the Scottish Government’s cabinet secretary for local government and communities, Aileen Campbell MSP. The SURF Awards are delivered each year by SURF, a regeneration forum with over 300 cross-sector member organisations across Scotland, in partnership with the Scottish Government. The purpose is to highlight, celebrate and share the achievements of initiatives that address physical, social and economic challenges in communities across Scotland. Given the impacts of the pandemic, the awards had a particular focus in 2020 on celebrating organisations and communities who had continued to deliver projects and services throughout a year like no other. SURF’s panel of 20 independent judges is drawn from national regeneration bodies and community groups. They carefully assessed all of the varied SURF Awards nominations in…
