From cancer screenings to hip replacements, hospitals are canceling care on the day of the Queen's funeral. People who have waited years for treatment are furious.
Thousands of people in the UK — some of whom have waited years for medical care — have been put back on hospital waitlists for "non-urgent" procedures and appointments that had been scheduled for the day of the Queen's funeral. Procedures including hip and knee replacements, cataract surgeries, maternity checks, and some cancer treatments have been canceled or delayed due to the national bank holiday announced for Monday, September 19. The National Health Service (NHS) informed general p...

While the web3 ecosystem is still nascent, we’re already seeing the formation of a new internet economy that unlocks new opportunities for millions of people and enables participants to take control of their digital lives. President Biden’s Executive Order last week demonstrated that the U.S. government recognizes the importance of web3 in retaining our technological leadership in a world of increasing competition, and the importance of striking the right balance between fostering innovation ...

We wrote about the CFO in crisis mode and the need for better software to be built for the finance suite. If the average CFO is in a crisis, the emerging markets CFO serve are in an even bigger crisis! In LatAm for instance, existing legacy systems are even more fragile, as APIs to extract banking information generally don’t exist, payment methods are more fragmented (across banks, digital wallets and cash), and every market has its own regulation (or lack thereof!) This lack of infrastructur...

Decentralized Speed: Advances in Zero Knowledge Proofs
One way to view technological advancement is through the lens of hardware: as new needs and use-cases emerge, chip manufacturers design special-purpose GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs optimized for specific functions and software. All major industries in tech — from cloud computing, to computer graphics, to artificial intelligence, and machine learning — have evolved to demand hardware that accelerates the speed and efficiency with which computations can run. Often, the chips for an initial function (...

Announcing a16z crypto research
The best industrial research labs throughout history have played a critical role in pioneering much of modern technology. Two modern examples of successful research labs — both founded in the wake of radical advances in the field of artificial intelligence — include DeepMind and OpenAI. Both of them have since pushed the field to new heights. In the last decade, the world of crypto and web3 has likewise emerged as a new frontier in technology, and it has matured into an independent field of k...
