Iâve been working in sales and marketing roles for more than 30 years, and in that time, Iâve found thatâas big a deal as lead generation isâitâs typically lead management that makes the struggle real. Getting lead management right involves a lot of moving parts, so letâs jump in. 1. Alignment between Marketing and Sales In my experience, this is how it usually goes. A potential customer fills out a... Read more âș

Last weekâs announcement of AlphaCode, DeepMindâs source codeâgenerating deep learning system, created a lot of excitementâsome of it unwarrantedâsurrounding advances in artificial intelligence. As Iâve mentioned in my deep dive on AlphaCode, DeepMindâs researchers have done a great job in bringing together the right technology and practices to create a machine learning model that can find solutions to very complex problems. However, the sometimes-bloated coverage of AlphaCode by the media... Read more âș

By industry leaders and academic researchers alike, Python is touted as one of the absolute best languages for novice programmers. And theyâre not wrong â but that doesnât mean that it doesnât confuse the shit out of programming newbies anyway. Take dynamic typing as an example. It seems amazing at first: Python literally figures out by itself what sort of value a variable might take, and you donât need to... Read more âș

What if we could zoom out past our own myopic point of view and see the planet Earth and all of its inhabitants as one giant global intelligence? Thatâs the question a trio of researchers recently tackled in a paper titled âIntelligence as a planetary scale process.â AKA: the âBy your powers combined, I am Captain Planetâ theory, as we like to call it here at Neural. This oneâs a... Read more âș

We arenât joking when we talk about cars as big fat data generating computer centers on wheels. If you go on Glassdoor, thereâs even an interview question, âHow many lines of code does a Tesla have?â Iâm not entirely sure, but even a decade ago, premium cars contained 100 microprocessor-based electronic control units (ECUs), which collectively executed over 100 million lines of code. Then thereâs telematics, driver-assist software, and infotainment... Read more âș

Good news, Batman lovers! A fully functional Batmobile replica exists â and you can even drive it outside of Gotham City. Led by architect and artist Nguyen Dac Chung, the Vietnam-based Macro Studios used blueprints from Christopher Nolanâs Dark Knight trilogy to faithfully recreate the movieâs Tumbler vehicle. The result? A replica thatâs the spitting image of Batmanâs iconic beast. But thatâs not all, it also comes with an eco-friendly... Read more âș

Ever wanted to watch a $2.4 million, 1,914 horsepower car get mangled? Well, friends, youâre in luck. The video in question is from Carwowâs Mat Watson, who joined the final crash test of the Rimac Nevera, a battery electric hypercar. Itâs the last installment in a series of 44 trials required for certification before its official rollout in Europe and the US. Even a scratch on this beautiful machine makes... Read more âș

I have a problem. Well, to be accurate, I have lots of them â but today Iâm talking about one in particular: having multiple Apple IDs. I entered the Apple system about 17 years ago, in the days before iCloud and the App Store. I was also a foolish child back then â and my decisions from that time still haunt me in the shape of two separate Apple IDs.... Read more âș

For the past few weeks, Russia has been deploying military forces into strategic positions on Ukraineâs borders. However, there is another, virtual dimension to the escalating conflict: cyber-attacks on the Ukrainian government and business websites and services. Attacks on Ukraineâs information systems are part of a type of hybrid warfare that Russia has been fine tuning for the past couple of decades but is now far more sophisticated. Cyber espionage...

You know how it is. Youâre on social media minding your own business when suddenly, through no fault of your own, you post an antisemitic tweet comparing Canadian government overreach to the state-sponsored murder of millions of Jewish people. Now youâre the bad guy? Is everyone a snowflake? Itâs not like you have any choice in the matter. Youâre a 50-year-old billionaire currently under investigation for allegedly creating a safe...

Who hasnât stolen a cookie from the jar when Mom wasnât looking? Or stayed out with friends long after bedtime? Or â God forbid â taken the shortcut through the park where shady people lurk, instead of going the long way over the main road?

With the shift from gas-powered to electric cars thereâs the very real risk of the expansion of EVs leading to overpowering the energy grid, resulting in a shortage of energy at peak times. In response, a new opportunity for innovation and new business models has emerged: bi-directional charging.  But what is it exactly, how does it all work, and how can I get involved? Letâs take a look. What is... Read more âș

COVID-19 isnât the first global pandemic, but it is the first of the algorithmic age. This has created both opportunities and threats. While evangelists argue that tech is curbing the virus, critics are concerned that itâs supercharging surveillance. Edward Snowden raised the alarm about the drawbacks in March 2020 â days after the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. The whistleblower warned that the systems being launched would... Read more âș

Last night, Twitter announced itâll allow users to tip accounts via Ethereum. This is the social networkâs second crypto announcement in two months, after it enabled NFT-based profile pictures in January. These developments have come after Jack Dorsey stepped down as the companyâs CEO last year. As a staunch Bitcoin supporter, Twitterâs new direction in cryptocurrencies might have annoyed him â especially as both announcements are related to Ethereum, a... Read more âș

More often than not, it feels like UX research is under-appreciated and under-resourced in tech companies. Despite being a valuable activity, there is an overarching feeling that research can also be very time-consuming and expensive to conduct. Hence, product owners, whether at an established tech giant or an early-stage startup, may shy away from engaging in multi-month qualitative studies costing tens of thousands of dollars and instead jump straight to...

Googleâs effort to get everyone behind RCS â or Rich Communication Services, the standard attempting to replace SMS and MMS â is admirable. Sure, RCS isnât really better than the myriad messaging apps people already use, but itâs a dramatic improvement over plain-old text messaging, adding features weâve come to expect from modern communication services, including encryption, read receipts, reactions, and high-quality images. The problem is: not every phone actually... Read more âș

If you thought the Meta rebrand was merely trying to salvage a tarnished reputation, Mark Zuckerberg has conclusive evidence that youâre wrong. The Facebook founder has unveiled a new set of âvaluesâ to reflect the profound transformation of his beleaguered baby. But can the new slogans transform the companyâs fortunes? We asked branding experts and metaverse veterans. 1. Live in the Future The social media â sorry, metaverse â juggernaut... Read more âș

Drive-throughs â services that let people order and collect food and drink without needing to leave their cars â are designed with convenience in mind. Whether itâs oppressively hot, uncomfortably cold, or weâre just in a hurry, drive-throughs have become very appealing in an era characterised by a desire for immediacy. In the UK, where there are around 2,000 drive-throughs, itâs not unusual to see snaking queues of vehicles whose... Read more âș
