The Black List founder says Hollywood is thinking about risk all wrong

After altering how Hollywood discovers scripts, The Black List is now targeting the book world. Founder and CEO Franklin Leonard proved that overlooked scripts like Slumdog Millionaire and I, Tonya can become commercial and artistic hits. Now, grounded in his belief that the Black List can act as a giant metal detector for uncovering great fiction, he explains his reasoning and plans for this expansion.

Dávno vyhaslé vulkány mohou být bohatým zdrojem vzácných zemin

Experimentální vulkanické erupce v laboratoři ukázaly, že by magma bohaté na železo, jehož původ je pro geology stále dost záhadný, mohlo poskytnout velké množství vzácných zemin. Nachází se v pravěkých vulkánech, které soptily před miliony let, na různých místech světa. Geologové by je měli pořádně prozkoumat. http://www.osel.cz/13713-davno-vyhasle-vulkany-mohou-byt-bohatym-zdrojem-vzacnych-zemin.html

AppliedXL and Associated Press team up to use AI to sift through federal regulations

Regulators and fintech innovators in Africa need to talk more

The African continent looks set to realize around $230 billion in financial sector revenue by 2025, despite various political and economic challenges, according to a McKinsey report on Africa’s evolving fintech industry.

The report further reveals the only factor that could prevent the continent from realizing this goal is its ability to reach the continent’s

Can digital conversations help disaster-proof your business?

“The only thing certain in life is uncertainty.” This quote has been attributed to everyone from Pliny the Elder to John F. Kennedy, which means it’s probably been around longer than recorded history and reflects a fundamental truth about how we live. It’s also a fundamental truth about how we work.

Uncertainty can take many forms, from natural disasters and violence, to supply chain disruptions and software outages. Most recently, the CrowdStrike outage caught the world’s attentio

Does your Halloween rager really need a Partiful invite?

There are certain social media rules we can all agree on: Ghosting a conversation is impolite, and replying “k” to a text is the equivalent of a backhand slap (violent, wrong, and rude). But what about the rest of the rules? When can we really remind someone of our old Venmo request? What happens when someone tries to flirt with you on LinkedIn?

The 2024 election is razor close. TikTok creators could tip it

Co je to filosofie? Kde ji hledat?

Každý jen tu svou má za jedinou. Různá určení filosofie v různých dobách a školách. Každý z typů filosofie představuje jiné pojetí toho, co je filosofie. Trapná otázka vědeckosti. Co když je filosofie spíš cosi mezi vědou, uměním a náboženstvím? A co mimo Řecko a Evropu? Odkud se na to podívat? Něco o vzniku filosofie. Varování před nadvládou samoúčelných jazykových forem a důležitost šťourání do předpokladů. http://www.osel.cz/13712-co-je-to-filosofie-kde-ji-hledat.html

Vědci vystopovali tlačítko „Play/Pause“ ve vývoji lidského embrya

Embrya některých savců mohou stopnout vývoj ve fázi blastocysty a projít fází opožděné nidace (embryonal diapause). Evropský tým odhalil ovládací prvek tohoto mechanismu, signální dráhu mTOR. Vše nasvědčuje tomu, že i lidské buňky mají tuto funkci signální dráhy mTOR k dispozici, byť ji obvykle nepoužívají.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max is a bigger upgrade than I was expecting

The 13 Pro Max still feels fast, takes excellent photos, and easily lasts all day on a full charge even at 88% battery health. The usual improvements you expect from a new iPhone—faster processor, better cameras, longer battery life—would be lost on me in day-to-day use.
