Nov 30, 7:32AM
Arianna Huffington wants you to work smarter, not harder. She believes a corporate mentality that rewards burning the midnight oil is actually reducing productivity, by causing burnout. Lack of sleep could be costing the U.S. economy $411 billion per year, it turns out. So last year, the HuffPost founder and Uber board member, launched Thrive Global, a startup dedicated to reducing stress… Read MoreElon Musk's Boring Company to bid for Chicago airport link project

Elon Musk’s Boring Company, a project that plans to use futuristic underground pods to transport cars across long distances without traffic congestion, is starting to take shape.

At the AWS reinvent conference, Amazon will announce Alexa for… Read MoreAlexa is arriving in Australia and New Zealand early next year

There was clearly a lot of ground to cover at tonight’s AWS re:Invent Alexa State of the Union — but lets be real, the most important bit was how the company plans to make a little money for its developers. After all, Amazon appears to be raking in the dough, with all of the Alexa devices it’s been selling ahead of the holidays, but what of the lowly developer? The most… Read MoreWe're hitting rock bottom in cyber — let's do something
Nov 30, 12:00AM
When it comes to the cybersecurity problem, where is rock bottom? Internet security is in a state of crisis. With their shocking scope and targeting of some of society’s most critical infrastructure, recent attacks are making some of the incidents that used to alarm us almost seem quaint by comparison. And yet, where is the outrage? Read MoreCoinbase ordered to give the IRS data on users trading more than $20,000
Nov 29, 11:56PM
Most digital currencies exist in a sort of twilight state just beyond the grasp of federal regulators, but the U.S. tax authority is starting to get savvy to this whole bitcoin thing.
