In Bitcoin ETF news today, Hong Kong’s spot BTC ETFs are measurably compressing Bitcoin’s notorious ‘weekend gap,’ with Asian-session trading now capturing an estimated 20% of global BTC volume during hours when US institutional desks are dark.

If you’re assessing different VoIP phone services and are particularly focused on the bottom-line price, it’s important to account for telecommunication taxes. The last thing you want, after all, is to budget carefully based on advertised prices only to be surprised with extra charges when your first phone bill arrives. In addition to a provider’s base charges, you also need to account for costs like regulatory fees, use tax, and excise tax, and note that the taxes you pay can vary by state.

Also in attendance were executives from Meta, Snapchat, OpenAI and others, which has ignited outrage — especially among those who consider the Met Gala not a vulgar display of excess, but…

I joined G2 during the pandemic while working completely remotely, which made me realize just how important it is to feel connected, supported, and engaged, even from a distance.

A number of major US companies have announced job cuts in favor of AI investment. But in Japan, big corporations are on the hunt for skilled workers to accelerate AI adoption. In a recent survey of roughly 250 publicly listed Japanese companies, Azusa Audit Corporation found that 28% were expanding their AI-literate workforce to support automation.

It’s a phase where AI is seen as ‘labor complementary’ and designed to maintain operational efficiency amid…

Utilizing Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG), which combines forensic DNA analysis and genealogical research, we cracked the case, and I led the prosecution team that brought the Golden State Killer to justice. Since we first used IGG to solve this case, law enforcement around the world has solved over…

And to be fair, that promise isn’t entirely invented. McKinsey estimates that AI could automate up to a fifth of sales activities and significantly reshape how revenue teams operate. The subtext is even bolder: less grunt work, more pipeline, and maybe quietly fewer people needed to do it.It’s a compelling story. And for a while, it sounded almost too good to question. But as a market research analyst,…
