COMMENT: Marty, no award could cover what you have accomplished. The forecast that AfD would win was outstanding and as impressive as your forecast back on Poland. I am still amazed at how your computer forecasts war years in advance, politics, and major market movements. What you have discovered is like the legendary Philosopher’s Stone. The euro and Dax all had turning points right of schedule. Just amazing. Friedrich The success of Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD) in state elections is a warning sign to the madman of Ukraine, that the tide is turning against him. The AfD is now…

What do the water system in Flint, Michigan, the electrical grid in Puerto Rico and your search engine have in common? They are all critical infrastructure—systems essential to everyday life. People expect critical infrastructure to be reliable, to minimize risk and to promote public well-being. When it fails—such as when lead seepage poisoned Flint’s water supply in 2014, or when nearly all of Puerto Rico’s power went out on New Year’s Eve in 2024—the public expects risks to be mitigated and problems to be addressed. Today’s critical infrastructure includes food and water systems, roads and bridges, and financial and health…
This alarm clock is almost comically easy to snooze once, but much harder to ignore a second time. [Photo: Endothermal Systems] The CinderClock is a 3D-printed alarm clock with a big, red 10-millimeter (0.4-inch) arcade button on top that designers sized so you can hit it without aiming. In snooze mode, however, the options for turning it off are increasingly challenging, like pressing the button three times at least half a second apart, repeating a random sequence using the front interface’s joystick, or winning a mini video game on the front screen. “I use CinderClock myself every day,” says Aknazar…
COMMENT #1: North Korea bombing KyivDam your dates are good. Www3 Brent COMMENT #2: I could not believe the comment of Alex Plitsas om Raw Story about how uninformed he is calling Putin a war criminal and ignoring everything from the Merkel using the Minsk Agreement to buy time for Ukraine to build an army as you said negotiating in bad faith. What planet is this guy on or does he read the prewritten script from the Institute for the Study of War? Jeffrey COMMENT #3: You are right. Trump gave up on just bombing Iran; he is now attacking their…
Federal investigators examining why an Amazon cargo jet barreled off a runway at Miami International Airport and into vehicles, killing at least five people, are likely to focus on a crucial moment in the landing: whether the plane touched down too late to stop safely. Video of Sunday’s landing appears to show the Boeing 767 remaining airborne well down the runway before touching down. Aviation experts said investigators will seek to determine exactly where the plane landed and, if it was beyond the normal touchdown zone, why the pilots did not abandon the landing and circle back for another attempt.…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Potential isn’t a destination. It’s not about reaching some predefined “best version of yourself.” It just means the capacity to become. The minute you decide what your potential is supposed to look like, you’ve also put a ceiling on it. But there’s no way to know what the future version of you will be capable of. Just because you can become capable of something doesn’t necessarily mean you should. Because every expansion comes with a cost. More responsibility. More complexity. More decisions. Instead of asking “Am I living up to…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Universities are moving too slowly for the pace of AI-driven change. Traditional approval and hiring processes can take months or years, while workforce demand for AI skills is shifting within a single academic year. The “university intrapreneur” is the key change agent. This could be faculty, staff, administrators or students who identify problems and build solutions from within the institution — often before formal policies or funding exist. Name the role, then find the people already doing it, and name them where others can hear it. Build the channel before…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. According to the 2025 Google DORA report, 90% of developers now use AI daily and agree it makes their flow more efficient. Yet the same report says AI just amplifies what already exists in your business’ flow rather than making development stronger by default. When code becomes cheap, it’s so much easier to test each new idea without giving a proper quality estimation. That’s where product judgment becomes critical, picking the right problem to solve, testing the idea early, keeping the product lean, and knowing when to stop with new features. To…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways In today’s highly digitized economy, CEOs must treat their brand’s digital footprint as a high-yield compounding revenue engine that requires active management. Long before an introductory call or formal proposal, page one of a search engine serves as an automated background check for every prospect, investor and high-caliber candidate. Companies that actively own and protect their digital search real estate see significantly higher conversion rates. Over time, it compounds into a financial advantage in customer acquisition and customer lifetime value. Many CEOs treat their company’s online search presence like a…
Customers are increasingly open to AI playing a bigger role in their relationships with brands, but there is a limit to how much control they are prepared to give it. Adobe’s 2026 AI and Digital Trends Consumer Report found that 56% of consumers expect AI to improve their customer experience. Forty-three percent would be willing to try an AI concierge, yet only 19% want agents to become their primary interactions with brands. When asked what would make them trust an AI experience, responders said the most important option was the ability to change to a human at any time. At…
