Hyundai’s new Singapore plant makes its cars on the third floor—the same storey as its Michelin chef-run Korean restaurant
An Ioniq car on the assembly line at Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore. Getting to Hyundai’s seven-storey facility in Singapore’s Jurong industrial district can take up to an hour and a half, a long time in a dense city. But a customer that makes the drive will be greeted by an unusual sight for a car factory: A high-end Korean restaurant.
J.D. Vance’s public Venmo account highlights ties to group behind Project 2025—as well as alumni of ‘elite universities’ the nominee has condemned
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) on the first day of the Republican National Convention on Monday. In recent years, the public Venmo accounts of government officials have brought on a string of awkward news stories for a congressman, a Supreme Court justice, and even the sitting U.S. president. But despite those cautionary tales, Republican vice-presidential nominee J.D. Vance has become the latest politician to let his public contacts on the payment app pop up in headlines.
The ghost of Y2K just struck back
The predicted Y2K computer disaster never happened. But the latest CrowdStrike glitch shows similar widespread outages are still possible. As I sit here typing in San Francisco, things seem pretty normal. My laptop and Wi-Fi connection are working, and I’m chatting with colleagues via Slack. For the past 12 hours though, a huge swath of the planet was not so lucky.
CrowdStrike shares down nearly 10% after global Microsoft outage—’It’s a disaster’
Shares of CrowdStrike plummeted as the widely used U.S. cybersecurity company raced to undo the damage from a failed software update that caused a worldwide IT outage, disrupting major airlines, banks and other businesses.

Introversion didn’t stop me from growing my company to over 650 employees—and shouldn’t stop you either
They say that youth is wasted on the young, and in some respects, I agree. When I was in my twenties, I dreamed of launching a business. I had the technical skills, the energy, and the time—this was before getting married and having three kids—but I doubted whether I had the personality to lead a company. I’m a classic introvert; I prefer small groups to big crowds, I tend to write my thoughts down before speaking them, and I gain energy by spending downtime at home, alone or with family.
Legendary venture capitalist Mike Maples has revealed the one thing world-changing startups have in common. Use it to spot the next winners in the age of exponential tech
Mike Maples Jr. of Floodgate Capital's new book about pattern breakers looks into what makes a world-changing idea. In 1901, George Melville, the U.S. Navy’s chief engineer, dismissed aviation as a “useless dream.” Two years later, the New York Times predicted human flight might take millions of years to achieve. Yet, just 69 days after this dire forecast, the Wright brothers soared at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, proving that true breakthroughs come from those who defy conventional wisdom and dare to break patterns. True innovation comes from challenging the status quo and thinking beyond conventional wisdom. Innovators fail when they conform to existing patterns rather than shattering them.
