@Freshfields x @Wolves - a classic collaboration if you ask me.

[Unmind @unmindhq]

Working from home started as a quick fix; it's now the norm.

We reached out to HR leaders at our partners @Freshfields and @Wolves to discuss how they’ve adjusted to the times and for tips on nurturing healthy work habits among remote workforces 👇 https://t.co/lMzyIddLZH

@jackwshepherd Exclamation mark is to allow easy searching for errors (given exclamation marks are rarely used in serious documents). Just CTRL+F ! instead of having to search for the entire error phrase.

Massively impressed by @Akon at #WebSummit. This is not a celebrity just putting his name to a product, but a real founder who believes that blockchain technology and Akoin can improve lives in Africa.

Tony Blair and @RoKhanna excellent at #WebSummit. Technology is not a separate policy area but something that pervades and should be central to all policy in all fields.

Ambient computing is the concept that the connectivity permitted by 5G and beyond allows virtually every device, every ‘thing’ to be a computer of sorts.

AGI = Artificial general intelligence. AI not with defined parameters or tasks, but AI which applies itself across all fields

[Tom Hingley @tomhingley_law]

@BradSmi kicks-off Day 2 at #WebSummit2019 talking about the developments in tech to expect in the 2020s.

#FreshfieldsDigital

[Tom Hingley @tomhingley_law]

Calibra to be available on Messenger and WhatsApp first. Designed to democratise cross-border remittances. Average remittance fee is currently 7%, often for people who can afford it the least. Sending money should be as simple as sending a text. @kevinweil #WebSummit #Crypto

[Tom Hingley @tomhingley_law]

Really interesting to hear @kevinweil talk about the creation of @Libra_. “We’re at a stage where blockchain is beginning to scale”.

A few thoughts on Facebook's new cryptocurrency, Libra, and how it's reflective of a wider push towards asset-backed tokens - or stablecoins.
