According to Cloudflare, a cloud-computing service used by about 20 percent of websites globally, internet traffic dipped along the path of totality as spellbound viewers took a break from their phones and computers to catch a glimpse of the real-life spectacle. The places with the most dramatic views saw the biggest dips in traffic compared with the previous week. In Vermont, Arkansas, Indiana, Maine, New Hampshire and Ohio — states that were in the path of totality, meaning the moon completely blocked out the sun — internet traffic dropped by 40 percent to 60 percent around the time of the eclipse, Cloudflare said. States that had partial views also saw drops in internet activity, but to a much lesser extent. At 3:25 p.m. Eastern time, internet traffic in New York dropped by 29 percent compared with the previous week, Cloudflare found.

To try and offer up some alternate names, Baird released an updated 2024 edition of its stock picks targeting top ideas in artificial intelligence and machine learning in a 34-page report out Tuesday. "While the implications of AI vary across sectors, we collectively believe the AI tidal wave is still in the early innings," a team of analysts led by Tristan Gerra wrote. Another name Baird recommended was cloud cybersecurity firm Cloudflare , which surged last month after topping analyst expectations in its fourth quarter. "Though AI's impact on NET's revenue is still unfolding, the company is strategically positioning itself for the shift from AI training to inference," wrote Baird analyst Shrenik Kothari. "Cloudflare's focus on connectivity for AI applications and the optimization of its network for diverse AI use cases showcases its commitment to facilitating AI adoption and exploring new monetization avenues as the AI landscape evolves."

A better way to handle layoffs
  + stars: | 2024-02-20 | by ( Aki Ito | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +11 min
Out of everything that happens in the workplace, nothing underscores the harshly transactional nature of employment more than the way companies terminate their employees. To be sure, there are times when layoffs are necessary for the health — and even survival — of a company. In other words, the pitiless and coldhearted way businesses handle dismissals isn't just destructive to those who get dismissed. Is there a better way to handle layoffs? For starters, Herd says, managers should look the employees they're dismissing in the eye, rather than reading from a script.

The Singapore River and Merlion Park in the eveningSINGAPORE — Singapore's plan to invest more than $743 million into artificial intelligence over the next five years could strengthen its position as a global business and innovation hub, tech executives said. In his Budget speech on Friday, Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said Singapore will invest more than 1 billion Singapore dollars over the next five years to further boost the country's AI capabilities. As part of the investment, Singapore will work to ensure it can secure access to the advanced chips "that are so crucial to AI development and deployment," Wong said. Singapore will also work with leading companies here and around the world to set up AI centers of excellence to spur innovation, he added. Singapore workers are already the world's fastest when it comes to adopting AI skills, according to LinkedIn's Future of Work report released in August.

Those options could be relatively cheap right now for some of the more vulnerable stocks, according to Goldman. "During normal market environments, the options market prices options efficiently based on trailing realized volatility. Our long-term studies have shown that Free Cash Flow is the most important fundamental metric to watch when estimating downside asymmetry," Marshall said in the note. To identify put option candidates, Goldman found stocks trading above the firm's price targets and low or negative free cash flow. That company reported a net loss of $116.6 million in 2023 , with free cash flow of just $7.9 million.

Read previewThe youngest generation at work have found a new way to vent their frustrations at working in corporate America: filming themselves getting laid off or fired, and posting it on social media. "From the Gen Z perspective, this woman feels like a hero," Schawbel said about Pietsch. She got followers, she got attention, because of the algorithm and the echo chamber that surrounds her on social media, and on TikTok especially." Social media fame, likes, followers, and comments might create a facade of social connection for some lonely Gen Zers.
