Counterpoint: Why America Should Take the Lead in Greenland — Before Our Adversaries Do – DC Journal - InsideSources
For an alternate viewpoint, see “Point: On Greenland, Trump Madness Runs Amok.” President Trump’s renewed interest in Greenland has triggered the predictable chorus of elite disbelief. Pundits scoff. European officials bristle. Commentators frame the idea as fanciful or provocative. Strip away the noise, however, and the case is simple: U.S. leadership in Greenland is strategically sound, increasingly urgent, and firmly rooted in American national security interests.

How tech rebooted economics and platforms broke the invisible hand
Competition regulators are struggling to come to terms with this new economy By PTI Growing evidence and new research explain the evolution of economic diversity and the need to rethink monopolies in the age of technology. A cursory glance at the myriad apps and platforms that clutter our online lives would suggest rich competition. In reality, online diversity now a reflection of offline competition is in long-term decline.
How tech rebooted economics and platforms broke the invisible hand
A cursory glance at the myriad apps and platforms that clutter our online lives would suggest rich competition. In reality, online diversity — now a reflection of offline competition — is in long-term decline. The online economy’s lack of diversity can be seen most clearly in technology itself where in most of the Western world Google dominates search unchallenged; Facebook reigns supreme in social media and Amazon rules in online retail.

How we communicate, what we value - even who we are: 8 surprising things data science has revealed about us over the past decade
Big data analysis has long supported major feats in physics and astronomy. But more recently we’ve seen it underpin breakthroughs in the social sciences and humanities. Since the landmark paper Computational Social Science was published in 2009, a new generation of data analytics tools has given researchers insight into fundamental questions about how we communicate, who we are and what we value.
Time is today’s most valuable currency, and businesses today must take note
Wed Mar 2 Written by Paul McCarthy For businesses of all sizes, in every industry across the globe, talent shortages are persisting. As the so-called ‘great resignation’ or ‘great reshuffle’ continues, Australians are leaving their jobs in search of new opportunities in greater numbers than they were prior to the pandemic. Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that 300,000 Aussies resigned in November 2021, a 32% increase compared to February 2020, before the pandemic.
What are technology investors doing to retain and incentivise key personnel in their acquisitions? | JD Supra
With many technology companies using transactions to acquire talented people, as well as products and services, it is no surprise that employment issues are at the top of their due diligence agendas. These companies are bringing a different perspective to the personnel element of acquisitions and collaborations than has traditionally been the case in other industries.

Shutterstock The online world is continuously expanding — always aggregating more services, more users and more activity.

Conversational AI — a new wave of voice-enabled computing
Conversation is the key to the next wave of AI infrastructure investments. Photo: Thomas Szynkiewicz In 2014, Andrew Ng predicted that by 2020 more than half of all web searches would be non-text and instead they would instead be image and voice-based. While voice has yet to overtake the keyboard in terms of search traffic we are seeing a new inflection point in the voice market the rise of Conversational AI.

The mediatech revolution is well underway. It’s in our lounge rooms, bedrooms and on our way to and from work. We’re tuning into Spotify, playing Fortnite and watching Netflix into the wee hours like there’s no tomorrow. The term “mediatech” has been used for over a decade to label startups with a media and technology focus in the age of the web.

Here's what we can learn from 'the Bill Gates of Japan'
Softbank’s founder and chief executive Masayoshi Son, or “Masa” as he is known outside Japan, has often been called “the Bill Gates of Japan”. Today, I suggest a more appropriate moniker may be the Warren Buffett of the Web.

Alternative Measures of Research Impact
New “altmetrics” tools are enabling universities and the private sector to identify emerging talent much earlier than traditional measures of academic publications and citations. Since the 1960s the main measure of much of the world’s research has been the number of published references or citations it receives.
Spotify may soon dominate music the way Google does search - this is why
While competition online starts the same way as that in offline markets, my research shows it often settles very differently online. Both have seen lots of competitors emerge in a new area underpinned by new technologies. But online, consolidation ends in a high-stakes winner-takes-most “title fight” between the two strongest players.
Why startup investors love online marketplaces
Online marketplaces, also known as platform companies, are sprouting up everywhere and redefining business in every industry. “The Uber of ….” has become shorthand for tech startups looking to redefine the way everything is delivered, from legal services (Sydney-based LawPath) to Package deliveries (San Francisco-based Doorman), to Lottery services (Gibraltar-based Lottoland).
A Chinese Firm Could Buy Twitter in the Coming Wave of Cross-Border Tech Acquisition
As the financial media speculates about Twitter being acquired by Salesforce, Alphabet (formerly Google) or even Apple, companies outside the Californian tech scene have received little attention as potential suitors. There’s now clear interest, appetite and capacity for cross-border mega deals in online tech, as Tencent’s acquisition of Supercell in June this year has shown.

Business Briefing: disrupted companies will need to think global to survive
Australian companies should better manage the expectations of shareholders who increasingly expect dividends and focus more on meeting the needs of global consumers, says UNSW Adjunct Professor Paul X.

Your Garbage Data Is A Gold Mine
By Paul X. McCarthy8 minute Read One of the lesser understood aspects of what you can do with massive stockpiles of data is the ability to use data that would traditionally have been overlooked or in some cases even considered rubbish. This whole new category of data is known as “exhaust” data—data generated as a by-product of some other process. Much financial market data is a result of two parties agreeing on a price for the sale of an asset.
Quantimentals, signal surfing and fast walkers: mapping the rise of weird data

This whole new category of data is known as “exhaust” data – data generated as a byproduct of some other process.

Rival international football fans are united by their common body language
Football fans attending matches at the Euro 2016 tournament in France will be hoping for plenty of good reasons to cheer, chant and comment about what unfolds on the pitch.

Non-verbal communication, or body language, tells their story without words.
Open data on Australian companies could be the best response to tax avoidance
Imagine if Australia’s economy was as efficient as Silicon Valley is. It’s not that absurd an idea, and the keys are potentially at the government’s disposal. In the US, technology sector companies including Mattermark and CB insights are now providing a “CIA-like” business data intelligence services about private companies in the startup ecosystem. They collect data on anything and everything, distilling it all into “signals” that may provide clues on who may become the next Apple, Google or Uber.
