Experts say Britain will be left with most of the venture capital, while the continent will keep a surplus of talent.
Even for hardy startup entrepreneurs known for their ability to make lemonade out of lemons, those in Europe were in for a particularly sour surprise on Friday when they woke up to a cascade of shocks following the Brexit referendum in the U.K. Many of them reacted with a mixture of resilience and uncertainty.
Tell photographer Thomas Brown what you see when you look at his portraits, and forever shape how others take in his work.
Prepare to take the greatest Rorschach test in recent memory.
You can’t manage your teams the same way you might have done a decade ago and expect the same results.
What’s true in life is true for managers in 2016: Some things change, some things stay the same. But how do you know which ones fall into which category? For starters, effective managers do what they’ve always done: lead a team of people to efficiently convert a vision into an actual reality. They know how to head off problem scenarios and mitigate those that do arise before they spiral out of control.
People are increasingly living past 100. That means some big changes for the future of work.
It’s no secret that people are living longer. But breaking down the numbers is surprising. Life expectancy has increased at a rate of more than two decades every decade, with more people than ever living well into their 80s, 90s, and 100s.
This year’s top competitors stand to remake their industries and society at large.
Last year, when we initiated the idea of a New Rivalries package, it was driven in large part by the idea of disruption and insurgents challenging incumbents. It was also influenced by Uber and Lyft. Their competition for riders and drivers was (and is) fascinating, but what was truly instructive at the time was that a lot of prominent people were calling for the two companies to join hands and sing kumbaya. While we don’t endorse dirty tricks, competition is something to be celebrated and learned from, not swept away.
Is your Slack team just starting up—or getting out of control? Advice from the author of the new book Take Control of Slack Admin.
Slack is a productivity tool, designed to make it easier for groups—especially ones spread out across buildings, regions, or continents—to work together seamlessly. But we all know that easy communications can be a two-edged sword.
The Heijmans One might be the solution to housing crunches in cities. As long as you don’t mind a little crunched housing.
The first thing you notice about the Heijmans One house is how skinny it is. At 3.5 meters across, it’s only a little wider than a parking space—and exactly as wide as the back of a semi, so it can be built in a factory, delivered to an empty space, and set up in a few hours.
As artificial intelligence gains ground, designers will need to adapt. Here’s how to get started.
Artificial intelligence is a $15 billion dollar industry and growing. With more than 2,600 companies developing intelligent technology, the value of AI is expected to rise to more than $70 billion by 2020. And it’s not just attracting the tech giants: USAA is using AI to protect its users from identity theft, and Under Armour has connected its health app, MyFitnessPal, to IBM Watson so users can get a more thorough read of their health.
Under Armour is all in on data, while Nike hopes to enhance its performance with diversity.
Ask Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank if he’s running an apparel company and he’ll tell you that UA is now a “math house.” As he told investors last year, “A math house uses data to shorten the distance between a brand and consumers.”
Here are five ways that companies are using machine learning to transform health care.
We are using intelligent machines for everything from self-driving cars to online searches. But how about leveraging artificial intelligence, or AI, to save lives? “A momentous change in health care is under way,” says Suchi Saria, an associate professor in computational biology at Johns Hopkins, with startups harnessing the recent explosion of electronic health data to help doctors make critical decisions and extend care to patients between appointments. Here are five ways that machine learning is poised to bring new rigor to medicine.
