Patients who use mobile applications to manage medical conditions including depression and chronic pain might assume the apps have been evaluated by regulatory agencies to be safe and effective. But that isn’t necessarily the case.Most of the more than 55,000 medical apps that claim to diagnose or treat a condition—or ones that provide clinical decision support, known as “therapeutic” apps—have never been assessed by any trusted neutral bodies or regulatory agencies to evaluate them for technical soundness, ethical design, or clinical benefit. The apps often don’t comply with regional data security and privacy laws to protect people’s sensitive health information.Medical…

XCEL Summit For Men by Kenneth Meeks May 24, 2026 Rev. Richardson shares a big message in a short package It took Rev. Dr. W. Franklyn Richardson 30 seconds to inspire a little more than 700 Black men at the 2025 XCEL Summit for Men. Rev. Richardson, the senior pastor at Grace Baptist Church in Mt. Vernon, New York, and an XCEL Award honoree, encouraged everyone during his acceptance speech to create their own resources and possibilities today, so they become transgenerational to their children and grandchildren tomorrow. It all boiled down to a simple concept: If you’re investing in…

Bitcoin’s digital nature is the source of most of its advantages. Since it is programmable, it unlocks self-custody practices that can make theft and confiscation very difficult. Since it is digital, it can move at the speed of light, allowing movement of value and settlement across the globe in minutes.  Nevertheless, Bitcoin has at times been criticized for being hard to grasp, literally. Bitcoin, in its natural state, can not be touched, can not be physically held; it can only be imagined and understood. To many people, that’s a significant barrier and one that has inspired quite a few attempts…

The New York Times is stirring the pot with an investigation it published today May 24, claiming that Trump appointees at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) probed and placed officials, including senior staff, who did not fall in line with its plans for prediction markets on administrative leave.  Career officials had flagged problems with three firms: Polymarket, Crypto.com, and an affiliate of Gemini, and according to the NYT, those companies’ ties to the Trump family might have been what led to trouble for them.  The concerns that the ousted staff members raised were different for each firm.  Did Crypto.com…

Many years ago, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 gained notoriety when its batteries caught fire in a series of incidents. There’s been a steady stream of similar, though isolated, incidents ever since. However, despite the high-profile coverage of batteries gone wrong, the vast majority of lithium-ion batteries are safe.The chemical reaction that occurs inside a lithium-ion cell is complex, but as in any battery, there’s a negative and a positive electrode. In lithium batteries, the negative is a lithium-carbon compound, and the positive is cobalt oxide (though many battery makers are moving away from cobalt). These two compounds cause a…

Your next multimillion-dollar AI idea probably won’t come from asking ChatGPT to “pick a niche.” It will come from identifying a painful bottleneck — something people already pay experts, teams or software to handle — and then using AI to remove the cost, delay or complexity around it.Before AI, eliminating those bottlenecks required capital, technical skill or a full team. Now, a solo founder can test ideas with the kind of leverage that once required a $400M startup, an $80M solo exit, or a $40M chatbot — without hiring consultants or having decades of experience.The prompts and examples I walk…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Bitcoin trades 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and stablecoins can cross borders in seconds on a Sunday morning. And yet, if a major UK institution needed to move collateral, settle a high-value payment, or shift liquidity between clearing houses over the weekend, much of that activity had to queue up and wait.In 2026, trillions of dollars in financial obligations still move through settlement infrastructure designed around the rhythm of a pre-internet economy, with business hours, weekday cycles, and overnight pauses baked into systems that predate smartphones by decades.That’s the problem the Bank of…

On a cool April morning at the height of Washington, DC’s always brief spring, the science fiction novelist Ray Nayler and I found ourselves in a staring contest with the world’s heaviest flying bird. We were standing at the fenceline of the Kori bustard exhibit at Washington’s National Zoo when the largest of the already enormous omnivores broke away from its flock at the rear of the enclosure and began stalking toward us.Gray and black and white with a parrying dagger for a beak, the Kori bustard resembled a heron that had taken up powerlifting. Approaching us and turning to…

A human-sounding AI voice is no longer enough. You have probably sat through a demo where an AI voice sounded clear, polished, and surprisingly natural. Then you tried plugging it into your actual phone system and realized it couldn’t route calls or hand them off to a live agent. I have watched customer experience teams burn weeks on this loop. What CX teams need is a tool that can understand caller intent, route conversations, escalate gracefully, update systems, and help customers reach a resolution without feeling trapped in another automated phone menu.  The right AI voice tool can help your…
