Manchester United are lurking in the shadows with sources suggesting they do not need to sell anyone to make a move despite their intentions to offload Jadon Sancho,…

Quantum computing is interesting. It’s really a wonderful area for research, but my feeling is we have a long way to go. Today we have examples of quantum computers—hardware always arrives before software—but those examples are very primitive. With a digital computer, we think of doing a computation and getting an answer. The quantum computer is instead going to give us a probability distribution of where the answer is, and you’re going to make a number of, we’ll call it runs on the quantum computer, and it’ll give you a number of potential solutions to the problem, but it’s not…

It regulates the global climate, produces most of the oxygen we breathe, absorbs carbon dioxide, and supports a vast network of life that sustains ecosystems and our planet’s life support. It also acts as the largest ‘carbon sink’, a vital buffer against climate change. But a threat is coming. Deep-sea mining risks destroying fragile marine ecosystems, precious habitats, and undiscovered species. Deep-sea mining involves the extraction of minerals from the ocean floor at depths. It poses a severe threat because it has the potential to…

When Parthi Duraisamy was a consultant at McKinsey’s Dubai office, he discovered that the American Express cards his company relied on for corporate expenses were rarely accepted in the Middle East. This forced Duraisamy to cover significant travel expenses out of pocket and file endless expense reports. “It was a constant pain,” Duraisamy explained on the call. “I’d spend my weekends uploading receipts, reconciling every expense manually.” Now, Alaan, the company he launched with fellow McKinsey alumnus Karun Kurien, is the Middle East’s leading spend management platform. It just announced that it raised $48 million in Series A funding led…

This is due to the overlapping challenges for new mothers,…

It is one of the questionable perks of Donald Trump’s “wall of sound” approach to communication that the slightly icky moment when the world of Maga and one of Hollywood’s hottest young stars connected was broadcast live and uncut.As the US president boarded Air Force One, a reporter asked whether he had any thoughts on Sydney Sweeney, a “very hot actress right now”, being a registered Republican. Of course he did.“She’s a registered Republican? Ooh, now I love her ad. Is that right? Is Sydney Sweeney … You’d be surprised at how many people are Republicans. That’s what I wouldn’t…
