But on Monday a small group of scientists and cultural experts in New Zealand clustered around a near-perfectly preserved spade-toothed whale hoping to decode decades of mystery. The list of what scientists don’t know about spade-toothed whales is longer than what they do know. A rare spade-toothed whale washed ashore on New Zealand's south island in July. It’s thought that spade-toothed whales live in the vast Southern Pacific Ocean, home to some of the world’s deepest ocean trenches. Beaked whales are the ocean’s deepest divers for food, and the spade-toothed may rarely surface, adding to its mystery.

On a platform where creativity reigns, the brands that take risks and facilitate culture are the ones that thrive. Trends are a powerful driver of culture — just ask KFC, whose TikTok Ad Award-winning campaign turned viewers into advocates.

☆ Turkey angles for Trump to break the deadlock on F-35 purchases
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-29 | by ( ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

Turkey wants the F-35s and may be willing to move the Russian air defenses that triggered the ban. Until five years ago, Turkey had planned to buy 100 of Lockheed Martin's F-35 stealth jets to modernize its air force. According to Bloomberg, Turkey may agree to restrict its Russian S-400s air defenses in return for the US lifting sanctions. Advertisement"So, it will remain to be seen if Trump can overcome these institutional hurdles to a sale to Turkey," Bohl told BI. The intervening Ukraine war, where Russian S-400s suffered losses, could reduce the value Turkey sees in them.

☆ How an AI granny is combating phone scams

That’s because Daisy is a conversational artificial intelligence chatbot created by British mobile phone company O2 to help combat fraud by tricking phone scammers into thinking they are speaking to a real person. Her debut earlier this month highlights how AI is being used both positively and negatively when it comes to online scams. According to the Global Anti-Scam Alliance, a lobby group, consumers worldwide lost more than $1 trillion to online scams last year. Last year, Virgin Media O2, the wider telecommunications group, blocked more than £250 million ($315 million) in suspected fraudulent transactions, which they say is equivalent to stopping one every two minutes.

Kansas City police and the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about the lawsuit.

Still, Atomico said this shows that European tech funding levels have finally "stabilized" despite worsening global macroeconomic conditions leading to three consecutive years of declines. In the period spanning 2015 to 2024, European startups have bagged $426 billion, dwarfing the sum of investment deployed into tech firms the decade prior. Europe's first $1 trillion tech firm? Atomico said it's optimistic about the next decade in European tech. The VC firm, which was established by Skype co-founder Niklas Zennström, is predicting the entire European tech ecosystem combined could be valued at $8 trillion by 2034, up from around $3 trillion currently.
