Carly Fleischmann says what we’re all thinking about the Magic Mike XXL actor in the charming Speechless with Carly episode.
Author and autism activist Carly Fleischmann recently unveiled her new show, Speechless with Carly Fleischmann. Her first guest? Actor/dancer/drill-wielding superstar Channing Tatum.
Textio, a service that helps job recruiters by flagging both good and poor phrasing, now aims to be a real-time writing coach.
The best way to make your writing better is to show it to someone who knows the topic at least as well as you do. That someone can now be an artificial intelligence system that reads and learns faster and more deeply than a human can, says linguist and cognitive scientist Kieran Snyder. Her company, Textio, has launched a new AI web service called Opportunities that she says can figure out what you are trying to say and suggest better ways to do it—within 0.3 seconds.
Sixty-eight percent of American moms use Instagram daily. Freshly Picked shares tips about how to get them to follow your brand.
In 2012, Susan Petersen was at a conference listening to a business speaker drone on about how important it is for companies to be where their customers hang out. As the founder of Freshly Picked, a company that makes tiny leather moccasins for babies, her target demographic was new moms. “I thought, my customers spend all their time breastfeeding,” she recalls. “Instagram is the only social platform that lends itself to a one-finger scroll, so I’m going to put all my eggs in the Instagram basket.”
Sidewire—created by a former Republican politico and a Stanford wunderkind—aims to create community around smart political discourse.
It’s the night of the Indiana primary, and I’m at a cool, new D.C. hangout called Sidewire. The polls close, and with the almost immediate call for Donald Trump, the place erupts into compelling conversation. Ron Facheaux, a former Louisiana state legislator who now runs a political research group, is the first to say it: “Ladies and gentlemen, the fat lady has sung.” Dr. Ben Carson’s spokesperson Shermichael Singleton goes deep on the exit polling, noting that “Trump wins with evangelicals, those worried about the economy, college educated, etc. Cruz’s message just isn’t resonating with Republican voters.” As the conversation veers into exploring a third-party conservative candidacy, Travis Considine, Governor Rick Perry’s former press secretary, says, “I bet Sen. Cruz bows out tonight.” Minutes later, it happens.
The United4Heritage initiative is part of a team creating a digital backup plan for threatened cultural monuments.
In recent years, we’ve seen a shocking number of historic sites around the world—some dating back thousands and thousands of years—destroyed. Sometimes it’s vandalism—think the Temple of Baalshamin, which stood from 131 AD to 2015, until it was destroyed by ISIS after the Syrian Civil War. Sometimes it’s just bad luck, like the 5th-century Buddhist and Hindu temples destroyed in Nepal by last year’s earthquake. Other times, of course, the vandalism comes from developers, as when a Belize construction company in 2013.
“We should be using those scarce resources to preserve the planet. But we don’t give innovators any incentives.”
The message of Joseph Stiglitz’s book—The Great Divide: Unequal Societies and What We Can Do About Them (out now in paperback)—is positive, in a way. He shows how growing income and wealth inequality is the function of choices we make, not ineluctable forces—globalization, technology, capitalism—that we can’t control. Although we don’t have policies in place to create more equality, we could design them if we wanted. After all, other countries are buffeted by exactly the same forces (that’s why it’s called globalization), yet, they don’t have anything like our gaps between rich and poor.
The new rules won’t help assure Europeans their data is safe from surveillance on the servers of U.S. companies.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court gave federal agencies far wider latitude to hack and search into computers around the world, and the decision could have a chilling effect on digital trade relations between the U.S. and Europe.
Working solo can make you feel rudderless, without any skeptics or cheerleaders. But with these five tips, it can also be invigorating.
One of the questions I get most as an independent creative is, “Don’t you get lonely?” Frankly, not often—I happily spend most of my days working alone, save when I ask my dog whether a font choice is too sassy or sterile or whatever (he often falls asleep during these conversations).
The rules change could make consumers around the world feel less comfortable storing sensitive data on cloud services.
Today, law enforcement can’t get a warrant to hack into a computer if it doesn’t know the computer’s physical location. That will change on December 1, as a result of yesterday’s decision by the Supreme Court.
What does it take to become one the those bosses that people love? Here are 10 traits those popular leaders have.
If you’ve ever had a truly great boss, you know how important they can be to a company’s success. In fact, Gallup’s 2015 report, “State of the American Manager: Analytics and Advice for Leaders,” chalks up 70% of the variance in employee engagement scores to the quality of the respondents’ bosses.
