• Not ready to go public? That’s the perfect time to think about going public

  28-11-2019 23:00
  
  The disastrous failure of WeWork’s non-IPO provided not just a dramatic crash-and-burn spectacle, but also a valuable cautionary tale about how not to do an IPO.  Even if your company is not ready to go public at the moment, if there may be an IPO in your future, things go more smoothly for companies that begin the work well in advance.  As a financial manager who consults for public and soon-to-be-public companies, I’ve worked with organizations traveling along a well-pla

• Your vote is for sale and Big Tech is selling it

  28-11-2019 16:36
  
  We live in an Age of Disinformation. The phenomenon has over the past few years, slowly, but surely risen to the top of the political agenda. Political campaigning — often verging on propaganda — has existed for centuries, so what’s changed. Why has the transition to a digital advertising space caused so much concern? What is it about this new way of communicating that has allowed the increase of lies and manipulation of the general public? The twin shocks of the Brexit r

• India reportedly wants unrestricted access to non-personal data

  28-11-2019 16:28

This comes on the heel of the data privacy bill, which is listed to be tabled in the winter session of parliament. Apart from access to non-personal data

• How this VR video game is transforming indoor cycle training

  Welcome to Riding Nerdy, TNW’s fortnightly dive into bicycle-based tech, where we go into too much detail and geek out on all things related to pedal-powered gadgets. I need to make a confession. When it comes to cycling, I err on the side of old-school. Lots of cyclists these days pride themselves on having the latest tech, gadgets, equipment, and using the most progressive training regimes. Like much of the tech industry, manufacturers make money and stay in business by selling new iter

• Legendary Bitcoin contributor Hal Finney’s Twitter profile is safe — for now

  Bitcoin fans can rest easy as Twitter has backpedalled on its plans to purge inactive accounts until it can figure out how to memorialize them. We’ve heard you on the impact that this would have on the accounts of the deceased. This was a miss on our part. We will not be removing any inactive accounts until we create a new way for people to memorialize accounts. — Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) November 27, 2019 The furor was sparked yesterday, after Twitter announced its plans t

• Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey uses DuckDuckGo over Google

  28-11-2019 10:25
  
  Unlike the late 90s and early 00s, search engines currently aren’t at war with each other.. Google is a clear giant in the field and others orbit around it like small planets around the sun. While someone ‘Googling’ stuff is not surprising, it’s quite unusual when a big company’s CEO says they prefer some other search engine. In a big endorsement, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted he loves DuckDuckGo and it’s his default search engine. I love @DuckDuc

• Moment’s new 14mm lens promises razor-sharp super-wide photos

  28-11-2019 02:37
  
  As much as I welcome multi-camera setups on modern smartphones, the trend does come with some caveats. Mainly, the ultrawide and/or telephoto sensors and lenses tend to kind of suck. Images from these cameras are often noticeably inferior to those taken with the primary shooter. In those cases, using a well-designed external lens can help, and few brands are as good at making them as Moment. The company this week announced the $120 Fisheye 14mm Lens, a bulbous metal-and-glass component that att

Speaking to reporters from the Yonhap News Agency in Seoul earlier this week, Se-dol said: With the debut of AI in Go games, I’ve realized that I’m not at the top even if I become the number one through frantic efforts. Even if I become the number one, there is an entity that cannot be defeated. Se-dol’s
