Anthropic IPO估值预期遇冷：营收增速放缓至45%，投资者讨论下调至1.5万亿美元
据外媒报道，部分参加Anthropic投资者日的投资者开始讨论将其IPO估值预期从此前的2万亿美元，降低至1.5万亿美元左右——相当于一口气少了5000亿美元（约3.5万亿元人民币）。 问题出在Anthropic最新的营收数据上。 虽然第三季度营收已经达到168亿美元，连续第二个季度实现调整后盈利，但营收环比增速却从第二季度的140%以上，回落至45%。 几个月前，Anthropic还在享受Claude Code带来的爆发式增长，如今却开始面对营收增速放缓、模型竞争加剧，以及越来越多的安全治理要求。 Anthropic，是不是已经错过了上市的最佳时机？ 增长45%，华尔街还嫌慢 放在整个科技行业，季度营收增长45%已经是相当惊人的成绩——但Anthropic此前增长得实在太快了。 今年第一季度，Anthropic营收47亿美元，第二季度迅速增长至116亿美元，增幅接近147%。到了第三季度，虽然营收又增加了52亿美元，但增速已经明显放缓。 但华尔街此前给Anthropic的估值预期，恰恰建立在这种超高速增长之上。...
An Enduring Journey-- ChinAfrica
Visitors flock to see the immersive production The Great Expedition at the Guizhou Long March-themed Digital Art and Science Museum in Guiyang, Guizhou Province (CNS) I first heard of the Long March in the 1960s, as a college student in the US. Like many Westerners, at the time I understood it as a distant, heroic tale from China’s past – a military relocation transformed into legendary status.
NYC Is Not Ready for the AI That’s Already Here
In the years since the release of ChatGPT, it was common for skeptics to claim that AI was just hype. That talk has thankfully faded. The zeitgeist has now flipped, and fears about the potentially existential threats posed by the technology are widespread. I very much share those concerns.

(AP Photo/Mary Altaffer, File) PUBLISHED: September 20, 2026 at 5:00 AM EDT New York City’s relentlessly hot summer exposed the harsh reality of a power grid stretched to capacity: just as air conditioning became a necessity, New Yorkers were asked to reduce electricity use to help prevent outages.
Hayden Panettiere’s Final Hours Remain Unclear as Family Accounts Diverge
Celebrity death investigations often produce partial records, grieving testimony and online certainty before forensic answers arrive. That uneasy pattern now surrounds Hayden Panettiere’s final hours at a temporary residence in Greenville, South Carolina.
Does it still measure up? A gap analysis of the Police Integrity Scale in police whistleblowing research
ABSTRACT The crisis of legitimacy in policing, driven by cases of police misconduct, has led to increased interest in the efficacy of police whistleblowing mechanisms. However, the evidence base for understanding officer whistleblowing rests predominantly on the Police Integrity Scale (PIS). This study presents a systematic interrogation of how this measure operationalises whistleblowing, and what conceptual constraints this imposes on the field.

Correction to: British Journal of Cancer https://doi.org/10.1038/s41416-026-03362-9, published online 02 March 2026 In this article the author’s name Angel Arnaout was incorrectly written as Angel Arnaou. The affiliation details for Angel Arnaout were incorrectly given as both ‘Department of Surgery, University of British Columbia’ and ‘Northern Ontario School of Medicine’; Angel Arnaout’s correct listing is only: Northern Ontario School of Medicine, Thunder Bay, ON, Canada.
NYC’s Fiscal Tightrope Act
Credit rating agencies have sent a strong message to the city: get your fiscal house in order. In recent weeks, New York City’s credit rating agencies have sent us a clear warning about the fiscal trajectory our city is on. This may eventually have implications for our ability to borrow for critical capital investments. But it already raises a serious question: Can our budget withstand an economic downturn or unexpected shock? New Yorkers should be paying attention.
Comptroller Levine Tells Why He is Campaigning for Hochul
If New York is to remain a place where working families can build a life, we have to get serious about affordability. That means creating more housing, expanding access to childcare, and making government an active partner in lowering the everyday costs that are pushing people out. These are not small challenges, and they cannot be met with slogans or incrementalism. They require sustained leadership and a willingness to take on difficult structural reforms.
Prospective study on 18F-FDG PET-CT for staging locally advanced invasive lobular breast carcinoma - British Journal of Cancer
Abstract Patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) undergo staging tests. In the absence of metastases, they may receive combined modality therapy with curative intent. A randomised controlled trial (RCT) in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) compared staging using 18F-FDG PET-CT versus the usual CT chest/abdomen and bone scan, with the primary outcome being upstaging to Stage 4.
Kuliang still inspiring for Sino-US ties
I have lived in China for the past 20 years. I am a university professor but have also written many songs and two books which tell my many stories about China. Many of these stories are about foreigners who lived and worked in China during the 20th century. During my two decades here I have traveled across the country to big cities, smaller towns and the countryside. But until last year I had never been to nor had I even heard of Kuliang.
What’s behind the rise of Chinese universities’ global rankings?
Illustration: Xia Qing/GT After over 20 years in China, my life has been filled with China-focused pursuits with most of my energy devoted to education. I've taught at several universities, delivered lectures at over 80 institutions across different provinces, and served on the judging panels for more than 100 English speaking competitions. There are occasions when students argue that US universities are superior to China's, citing Nobel Prize tallies as the only proof.
Participation in U.S.‐Based ALS Clinical Trials by Sex and Race

As a result, more people living with ALS have the opportunity to participate in trials, and more participants are necessary to continue to enroll rapidly.
A conversation with Grok
"Didn't know you were famous," the rapper Juliani, an old friend and musical collaborator, texted me from his studio in Nairobi. I didn't have a clue what he was referring to, but then he forwarded me the link to a tweet by Elon Musk that included a screenshot of a 2019 Al Jazeera column of mine, " Abolishing whiteness has never been more urgent." The original post was circulating on Twitter/X, courtesy of a white nationalist poster who obviously wasn't too happy with the headline.

Yes, the ADL is a 'political front masquerading as a watchdog'
It's hard to imagine a stranger twist to the MAGA's "war on woke" than FBI Director Kash Patel's announcement that the Bureau is cutting ties with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). In a social media post, Patel wrote that the agency won't partner with "political fronts masquerading as watchdogs". The decision came after right-wing backlash over the ADL's inclusion of Turning Point USA and its late leader, Charlie Kirk, in its "glossary of extremism".
Op-ed | Expanding birth control access in New York
Posted on From near-total abortion bans in states like Texas and Alabama, to legal challenges threatening access to emergency contraception and even IUDs, a coordinated assault is being waged on the right to reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy. Courts are rolling back protections once thought untouchable. Extremist lawmakers are criminalizing care providers.

Ngugi wa Thiong'o was not just a writer, he was a militant
Director of the Program in Global Middle East Studies at UC Irvine Ngugi wa Thiong'o loved to dance. He loved it more than anything else - even more than writing. Well into his 80s, his body slowed by increasingly disabling kidney failure, Ngugi would get up and start dancing merely at the thought of music, never mind the sound of it. Rhythm flowed through his feet the way words flowed through his hands and onto the page. It is how I will always remember Ngugi - dancing.

Op-Ed | Affordable housing hidden in plain sight – Caribbean Life
Posted on A 50-year-old building in Lower Manhattan represents a new frontier for solving New York City’s housing crisis. Thanks to an ambitious redevelopment effort, a former office building at 25 Water Street has just been transformed into over 1,300 new homes, with rents for affordable two-bedroom apartments starting at just $1,116 a month—at a time when our city has a more urgent need for affordable housing than ever before.

NYC housing crisis demands bold action
New York City families are struggling to stay in their homes, seniors fear they can’t afford to retire here, and the very fabric of our communities is fraying at the edges. I see it every day — families pushed out of their neighborhoods by rents that seem to climb higher with each passing month. It is a fundamental threat to our city’s future. As a candidate for city comptroller, I’m determined to make affordable housing a top priority, not just a talking point.

Death of a Program: U.S. Patent Office to Terminate After-Final Consideration Program
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) recently announced the expiration of the After Final Consideration Pilot Program 2.0 (AFCP 2.0), a program that was designed to enhance communications between the USPTO and patent applicants by affording applicants additional options following a final office action that effectively closes prosecution in applications.
Residential parking permits for NYC
Every inch of curb space in this crowded city is precious. So why are we giving so much of it away for free? Stroll any residential street in Manhattan, and you’ll think you’ve crossed state lines. License plates from New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania; countless parking spots occupied by cars with license plates from out of state. Many are owned by commuters entering the city each morning who don’t want to pay for a garage, so they dump their cars on our residential streets — for free.
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Proposes New Fees and Significant Fee Increases That Will Change Future Patent Practices
In a recent Notice of Proposed Rule Making, the United States Patent and Trade Office (USPTO) has unveiled a series of proposed patent fee changes that are set to take effect in fiscal year 2025. It was announced that these changes aim to better align the agency’s fee structure with the costs associated with processing patent filings.
NYC proposes new high-density zoning districts if state lifts floor-to-area ratio cap
The San Remo on the Upper West Side could not be built today under the existing 12 FAR cap. Photo by Bert Sagi on Unsplash Mayor Eric Adams is calling on the state to lift a policy restricting the density of residential towers to allow for bigger apartment buildings and more affordable housing in New York City. Enacted in 1961, the existing floor-to-area ratio, or FAR, cap allows buildings up to 12 times the size of their lot.
Remembering El Rayes Zakaria, Egypt’s folk music revolutionary giant
The ancient-looking PA system was not meant to handle the immensity of sound produced by famed Nile Delta folk music ensemble El Tanbura as they warmed up for a show on the streets of Ismailia on a warm summer night in 2019 – one of several shows in the Suez Canal’s major towns marking 30 years since El Tanbura’s founding.
Background Check Policy

USPTO Releases New Guidance on AI-Assisted Inventions
On February 13, 2024, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued guidance regarding the determination of “inventorship” with respect to artificial-intelligence-assisted inventions. This guidance, explained in detail here, is important information for inventors relying on artificial intelligence in the creation of their inventions.
Palestine, the alchemy of big lies and future of the university - Mark Levine
In September 1944, as the genocide of European Jews was ongoing and the violence of World War II was at its peak, Max Horkheimer, co-founder of the Institute for Social Research – aka the Frankfurt School – and the methodology of “critical theory” it developed, declared that “wittingly or unwittingly, the Jews have become the martyrs of civilization. … To protect the Jews has come to be a symbol of everything that mankind stands for.
Colorado’s Supreme Court just disenfranchised millions of voters
The Colorado Supreme Court’s decision last week to disqualify Donald Trump from the Republican state presidential primary isn’t only about Trump. The case raises the question of whether voters will lose the fundamental right to choose their preferred candidate for president. As the Colorado case now stands, the most damaging position for the voters is not to even be able to cast a vote for or against Trump and other candidates.
Opinion: New York City must lead boldly on AI
Artificial Intelligence has become the topic of intense policy discussion in capitals around the world. The Biden administration’s recent executive order puts the U.S. ahead of most other nations in preparing for this challenge. But it’s at the local level – in cities – where AI’s impact is already being felt and where the explosive advances in this technology are set to most directly reshape our way of life. Nowhere is this more true than in New York City.
‘Od rijeke do mora’ i dekolonizacija naše kolektivne budućnosti
“Od rijeke do mora, Izrael će biti slobodan.” Ne ide tako, zar ne? Ali, u ovom trenutku rata i masovne smrti, vrijedi se osvrnuti na ovu tezu: Palestina ne može biti slobodna bez slobodnog Izraela, ili barem slobodnih Izraelaca. Istinska sloboda od rijeke do mora može biti postignuta samo oslobađanjem od okova doseljeničkog kolonijalizma, ali i uskih ograničenja nacionalne države. Prije nego što ovo detaljnije objasnim, osvrnut ću se na trenutnu debatu u vezi slogana “od rijeke do mora”.
‘From the river to the sea’ and the decolonisation of our collective future
“From the river to the sea, Israel will be free.” OK, that is not the way it is supposed to go, is it? But at this moment of war and mass death, this proposition is worth reflecting on: Palestine cannot be free without Israel – or at least the Israelis – being free. True freedom between the river and the sea can only be achieved by breaking free from the chains of settler-colonialism but also the narrow bounds of the nation-state.
Beautiful October 7th Art Belies the Horrors of War
Opinions published in The Markaz Review reflect the perspective of their authors and do not necessarily represent TMR. UC Irvine scholar and author on the Middle East Mark LeVine warns that this Gaza war is biting off more than anyone is bargaining for. Mark LeVine I will not soon forget the morning of October 7. I woke up and, still bleary-eyed, scrolled on Facebook just to see the latest from friends.
Hamas’s Horrific Miscalculation & Israel’s Horrific Response
I will not soon forget that morning – my morning – of October 7. I woke up and, still bleary-eyed, scrolled on Facebook just to see the latest from friends. What I saw instead was various photos and artwork of hang-gliders and kites flying towards the sun and bulldozers breaking through a fence. I recognized these as somehow referencing Palestine and likely Gaza, and my immediate thought was, “My God, they’ve finally done it. They broke out of Gaza.
More Than Digital Garbage Pail Kids: The Paradigm, Use Cases, and Protection of NFT's
Outside small circles of Web3 aficionados, when the topic of NFTs comes up in conversation, one of two reactions tends to occur: either eyes begin to glaze over or the topic is soon dismissed as silly and confusing. Both reactions are likely due to common misconceptions about what NFTs are and what the various applications for them are and will be going forward.
Fanon’s words on colonialism and violence does not apply to Palestine
In the immediate aftermath of the unprecedented Hamas attack on Israel from Gaza, my Facebook feed lit up with friends sharing variations of a famous quote by the Martinique-born anti-colonial philosopher and psychiatrist Frantz Fanon on their feeds, to the effect that the violence of colonialism can only, and will naturally, be met by the violence of the colonised.
Opinion: Mayor Adams, protect our city by funding our parks
By Mark Levine and Adam Ganser June 29, 2023 11:17 AM ET As summer arrives, New Yorkers across the five boroughs are filling our parks and green spaces and enjoying the benefits – from recreation space to simply a place to breathe. These spaces are invaluable to communities, serving as the lungs of our city and acting as essential green infrastructure by helping to improve air quality and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Opinion: The truth about DeSantis
So, now it’s official. Florida’s autocratic governor wants to be your next president. Soon you’ll be besieged (if you haven’t already) by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as he visits Idaho touting his “supposed” accomplishments as Florida’s chief executive. He’ll take absolute pride in espousing that “Florida is the freest state.” Don’t be fooled by this snake-oil politician. Take a close examination of the “free state” of Florida under DeSantis’ leadership, supported by a total Republican Legislature.
Vt. Corrections and Health Commissioners: Addressing Vermont’s hidden health crisis
Vermonters are proud of the COVID-19 response that Dr. Anthony Fauci deemed a “model for the country.” This included efforts to protect those living and working in correctional facilities in Vermont — the only state not to lose an incarcerated individual or correctional officer to the virus. But with the nation’s COVID-19 public health emergency officially ended (on May 11), Vermont’s correctional system continues to grapple with the aftershocks of the pandemic.
