As a spate of incidents in the Strait of Hormuz test the ceasefire, an Iranian official says, “We are just getting started”.

Out went what Armstrong calls “pure managers.” In came “player-coaches,” flat hierarchies capped at five layers, and “AI-native pods” that could include one-person teams directing agents that do the work of engineers, designers, and product managers. “We are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs,” Armstrong wrote on X. “We’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it.” Layoffs economywide are relatively low. But inside tech, the AI layoff is the story of 2026. And Armstrong put his finger on something real: The org chart of the American corporation is under…

Manchester City suffered a potentially decisive setback in the Premier League title race as they were held to a thrilling 3-3 draw by Everton.

Yet a disastrous 13-minute spell in the second half turned the game in Everton’s favour. First Thierno Barry pounced on an awful backpass from Marc Guehi to level matters, before Jake O’Brien completed the turnaround with…

The last fossil fuel crisis caused incredible amounts of pain for the people of Europe. In 2022, after Russia invaded Ukraine, gas prices skyrocketed, resulting in the costs of energy rising to cripplingly high levels. Every European Union citizen overpaying for their fossil gas and power sent 150 euros ($175) to the United States per year, according to a recent report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA).That pain meant unprecedented profits for fossil fuel companies. In 2023, the world’s oil and gas industry earned a whopping $2.7 trillion, and invested just 4 percent of its…

Frank Warren is clear that there will be a world title on the line in Agit Kabayel‘s return, regardless of whether Oleksandr Usyk is standing in the opposite corner.The leading contender claimed his WBC ‘interim’ title in February 2025, when he climbed off the canvas to halt Zhilei Zhang with a vicious sixth-round body attack.Prior to that, Kabayel had scored back-to-back stoppages over Frank Sanchez and Arslanbek Makhmudov, contributing to his reputation as a worthy challenger to Usyk.Instead of landing a shot against the Ukrainian earlier this year, though, the 33-year-old defended his ‘interim’ title with a third-round finish over…
