☆ 51-year-old introvert overcame her 'worst nightmare' to build her $1.2 billion company
  + stars: | 2024-10-05 | by ( Morgan Smith Raffi Paul | Morgan Smith | Raffi Paul | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
Before she built what would become a billion-dollar company, Angie Hicks had to conquer one of her biggest fears: talking to strangers. Hicks — one of the two co-founders of Angi, formerly known as Angie's List — is a self-described introvert. But when the business launched in 1995, she wore many hats — often literally walking door-to-door to recruit Angi's first customers. In 1996, the company rebranded to Angie's List after customers began associating Hicks personally with the recommendations. The company, which went public in 2011, has consistently brought in over one billion dollars every year since 2018.

☆ I'm an Australian living in the US. I route all my flights home through Singapore just to explore Changi Airport.
  + stars: | 2024-09-22 | by ( Ree Winter | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
I used to route my flights through Europe, which allowed me to explore new-to-me cities before heading home. But once I discovered Changi Airport in Singapore, it quickly became the stop I planned my entire trip around. But when I stopped at Changi, I wished I had more time to explore. Ree WinterMaking a nearly 24-hour trek four times a year is a hassle, but Changi Airport has made the harrowing journey a little easier to swallow. The blend of advanced travel tech, luxury amenities, and thoughtful design makes Changi more than just a stopover — it's an experience I look forward to every time I travel.

☆ This Ugandan earns a bonus for each person he gets to sign up for Sam Altman's eyeball-scanning crypto project
  + stars: | 2023-08-24 | by ( Mackenzie Sigalos | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +12 min
The business-to-business software firm, which has a market cap of $11.5 billion, gave users the option of logging in with their World ID beginning in June. Social media app Discord also uses World ID for verification. But ultimately, the foundation envisions a future where a World ID could be used to facilitate nationwide votes, among other use cases involving banking and e-commerce. Ava Labs president John Wu tells CNBC that the self-custody feature of the Worldcoin ID is also critical. Despite his concerns, Mwangi ultimately chose to enroll in the project because he believed in the wider mission of the World ID.

☆ Slow roll brings Aurrigo to self-driving airport baggage dollies
  + stars: | 2023-02-01 | by ( Nick Carey | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Aurrigo has developed a four-seater "auto pod" with no steering wheel or pedals for slow non-road routes such as on university campuses. The company has also designed the "Auto-Dolly" and "Auto-DollyTug" for airports and is working with Singapore's Changi Airport, its lead customer, to automate baggage handling. But Aurrigo's CEO said airports provide the perfect environment because all vehicles travel at low speeds. Aurrigo is currently talking to 80 airports about following Changi's lead and Keene said the typical airport will need between 300 and 500 dollies. The IPO raised only 8 million pounds ($10 million), but Keene said that should pay for the rollout of airport dolly AVs.
