Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Back in September, President Biden inked a new executive order setting the government on a bold new course for creating a national biostrategy .

India’s 150 million users were forced to stop using the Chinese-owned app in 2020. But an internal tool reviewed by Forbes showed that ByteDance and TikTok employees can still mine some of their most sensitive data. One employee called it “NSA-To-Go.” By Alexandra S. Levine , Forbes Staff A lmost three years after TikTok’s largest market, India, banned the Chinese-owned social media app over geopolitical tensions, troves of personal data of Indian citizens who once used TikTok remain widely accessible to employees at the company and its Beijing-based parent, ByteDance, Forbes has learned. The revelation comes as President Joe Biden’s administration threatens to ban the platform used by more than 100 million Americans if TikTok’s Chinese owner does not sell its stake. Officials in the highest levels of the U.S. government see a blanket TikTok ban as a possible solution to the country’s national security concerns about the potential for China to surveil or … [Read more...] about India Banned TikTok In 2020.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Samsung announced the Galaxy Watch 4 last week. It’s equal parts bold and familiar. If you are planning to buy a Samsung watch this year and have plenty of dollars to spend, get the Galaxy Watch 4. There are no “fire sale” Galaxy Watch 3 deals online at the time of writing, and the changes in the new watch are dramatic enough to make the older version a bad buy at anything close to its original price. So, what’s new, and is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 worth a purchase? Design The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 looks similar to the Galaxy Watch 4. Or, to be more specific, the Watch 4 Classic versions do. This time Samsung has merged its two watch lines into one family. The standard Galaxy Watch 4 watches, available in 40mm and 44mm sizes, are more like successors to the Galaxy Watch Active 2. They have glass tops, without the raised bezel you get in the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic watches. The Classics are available in … [Read more...] about Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Vs 3: A Quick Comparison

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The electric car revolution in Europe requires a swift change of gear if it is to move from a well-heeled, early-adopters' niche to the mass market. European manufacturers still haven’t got the memo; small is beautiful. If this fails, the ramifications will be political as well as economic. Consumers will have to accept that electric cars, even expensive ones, have serious range limitations. Long trips with the family to southern Spain or Italy for the summer holidays using fast motorways are no problems for an internal combustion engine (ICE). But range anxiety from fast-but-legal motorway driving and poor charging facilities present big hurdles for electric vehicles. Given that 90% of motoring is never much more than 30 miles a day anyway, everyday use won't be much of a problem. You can always hire a diesel for those annual trips to the sun or weekend jaunts. Or take the train. Current electric technology produces, … [Read more...] about Troubles Loom If Europeans Are Denied Cheap Electric Cars

Bailey, Governor of the Bank of England, attends the Bank of England Monetary Policy Report Press Conference, at the Bank of England, London, Britain, Feb 2, 2023. Yui Mok/Pool via REUTERS/File photo LONDON  -The Bank of England is expected to raise interest rates for the 11th time in a row on Thursday after a surprise jump in inflation dashed speculation that it might have been about to take a pause. The BoE is trying to reconcile Britain’s weak economic outlook and recent worries about global banks with stubbornly high price growth, and is due to announce its latest decision on rates at 1200 GMT. Most economists had believed inflation was on course to fall steadily, after hitting a 41-year high above 11 percent in October. But Wednesday’s data showed inflation rose to 10.4 percent in February rather than continuing its descent and immediately turned Thursday’s announcement into an almost one-way bet on a quarter percentage-point increase in Bank Rate.

How can business leaders determine whether a particular growth strategy is applicable to a business’s specific situation? First and foremost, timing is everything.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Yesterday’s announcement by Jerome Powell of the Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates was the Washington equivalent of a circus performer walking a “tightrope between inflation and bank turmoil”as the Wall Street Journal put it. Washington and the financial sector held their breath: one false step could have led to disaster. In the result, Powell got both the headline he wanted “Federal Reserve presses ahead with quarter-point rate rise despite banking turmoil” ( Financial Times ) and a stock market decline in the S&P500 by almost 2%. As usual, there were two parts to the session. Powell began with a carefully prepared statement which portrayed the confident policy maker who had consulted the data and reached seemingly clear conclusions, albeit expressed in subtle shifts in phraseology from “ongoing increases in interest rates” to “policy firming.” It was followed by a frank Q&A session, which Powell … [Read more...] about How The Federal Reserve Chair Got What He Wanted
