Something’s Not Right at WeWork
We Company | Guru Focus
Last week, the real estate company formerly known as WeWork (now "The We Company") formally submitted the paperwork required for listing. Back in January, it emerged that he is an owner of some of the buildings rented by his company (WeWork does not actually own most of its properties but rents them from third parties). The company stated that Neumann owns just four of the 528 WeWork locations, a small fraction of the total amount. The founder and CEO of a company directed that company to pay himself almost $6 million for the right to a trademark that he owned. On several occasions, WeWork issued loans to its CEO at extremely generous rates — $7 million at 0.64% in 2016, and $362 million at 2.89% in 2019.

India needs to reduce ecommerce restrictions to revive economy
AMZN (Amazon.com Inc.) | Money Control
India needs to encourage ecommerce and reduce red tape to help small businesses sell online and export goods to help revive sagging domestic economic growth, a senior Amazon.com executive said. India revised its ecommerce rules in early 2019, creating hurdles for Amazon and rival Walmart Inc's ecommerce subsidiary, Flipkart.

Apple's Notorious Banking Partner
GS (Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (The)) | Forbes
Here’s how Apple itself describes Apple Card: It’s a credit card, not a “virtual interface.” There is nothing novel about a credit card. Apple’s card may be fancy (and expensive), but behind it is a bog standard credit facility, just like every other credit card in the world. Let’s just remind ourselves what Matt Taibbi had to say about Goldman Sachs’ business model:The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it’s everywhere. So far, Goldman Sachs appears to be selling its credit cards exclusively to Apple’s customers. Taibbi warned that Goldman Sachs is always looking for new opportunities to milk the gullible and exploit the vulnerable.

Google, Intel and Microsoft form data protection consortium
GOOG (Alphabet Inc.) | Engadget
Some of the early contributions include a Microsoft framework that helps you write code to run inside Trusted Execution Environments, an Intel framework for protecting code at the hardware level and a Red Hat tool that abstracts secure environments to the point where you can create and run private "serverless" apps. Appropriately, the Linux Foundation will host the Consortium. There's a lot of work to be done before the CCC bears fruit. It's easy to make a public commitment to the notion of confidential computing, but it's another matter to follow through. It's the first time an open source project like this has gotten underway, though, and it could lead to a day when you can assume your data is reasonably secure at every stage -- even if some governments are likely to complain.
