Storied Silicon Valley VC firm Andreessen Horowitz is backing a fledgling U.K. startup that’s setting out to “redefine” how AI is used to match companies with talent. Dex, as the startup is called, targets candidates and companies with various AI-powered recruitment smarts, including matchmaking and coaching, with a view toward improving retention in the long run. Dex is the handiwork of CTO Harry Uglow and CEO Paddy Lambros (pictured above), who recently left their positions as software engineer and head of talent, respectively, at European VC firm Atomico. While they say that Dex has already lured some two dozen U.K.…
أظهرت دراسات حديثة أن الجزيئات التي قد تنشأ من تحلل المنتجات البلاستيكية اليومية، يمكن أن تجعل النحل أكثر عرضة للبكتيريا والفيروسات البلاستيكية الدقيقة التي تنتقل إلى الدماغ وتتداخل مع إدراك النحل، وقد تؤدي إلى موتها. وحسب الدراسة التي نشرت في مجلة “ساينس دايركت” (sciencedirect) أظهرت التجارب أن تناول النحل لهذه المواد البلاستيكية الدقيقة أو استنشاقها قد يُلحق الضرر بأمعائها ويصل إلى أدمغتها، مما يؤثر على ذاكرتها وقدرتها على التعلم، كما قد يؤدي إلى قتلها مباشرة. وأشارت الدراسة أيضا إلى أن الأزهار يمكن أن تصاب بالاختناق بسبب هذه الجسيمات البلاستيكية الدقيقة، مما يدمر عملية التلقيح بكاملها، ويؤدي إلى خسائر اقتصادية فادحة،…

In the end, Canada’s election was as much about the man in the White House as the one who would be prime minister in Ottawa. The margin was thin, but the verdict from Canadians was clear. With President Donald Trump’s tariffs threatening the foundations of their economy, voters wanted Canada’s leader to be the central banker who navigated the global financial crisis and Brexit. Mark Carney, who until Monday evening was not even a member of parliament, is now on track to lead a minority government with a mandate to confront Trump. He has promised a “broad renegotiation of our…

أكمل الرئيس الأميركي دونالد ترامب 100 يوم في البيت الأبيض منذ إعادة انتخابه وتوليه منصبه، وهي فترة حملت العديد من القرارات على الصعيدين الداخلي والخارجي، مما جعل ترامب في واجهة التفاعلات، خصوصا بين جمهور منصات التواصل الاجتماعي الذي شاركوا بآرائهم مع مرور هذه المدة الأولى من حكمه. وشهدت المنصات ردود فعل واسعة على أداء ترامب خلال 100 يوم خاصة انتقادات لسياساته وتأثيرها السلبي: فقد عبر مغردون عن استيائهم قائلين إن ما بنته أميركا خلال 100 عام في مجالات البحث العلمي والتميز الجامعي، إلى جانب انفتاحها على الأجانب والمهاجرين، بات مهددا بالضياع خلال 100 يوم فقط من رئاسة ترامب. تقييم رائع…

Meta has a lot at stake in the current FTC lawsuit against it. In theory a negative verdict could result in a company breakup. But CEO Mark Zuckerberg once faced an even bigger existential threat. Back in 2006, his investors and even his employees were pressuring him to sell his two-year-old startup for a quick payoff. Facebook was still a college-based social network, and several companies were interested in buying it. The most serious offer came from Yahoo, which offered a stunning $1 billion. Zuckerberg, though, believed he could grow the company into something worth much more. The pressure was…
