Frontline workers sit at the center of enterprise value creation, yet Human Resources (HR) and employee technology platforms have historically underserved them. Despite accounting for the majority of the global workforce and directly influencing Customer Experience (CX), safety, and revenue, fragmented systems designed for administrative control rather than employee enablement have largely managed frontline roles.  That dynamic is now shifting. Everest Group research indicates that Workforce Management (WFM) is emerging as the primary system redefining frontline technology inclusion. As WFM expands across planning, execution, productivity, pay, and hiring, it is evolving into a system of execution for frontline work.  Reach out to discuss this topic in depth.    Why frontline inclusion lagged  The frontline technology gap was structural. Most HR platforms were built for desk-based employees with…

Apple has a special launch event for its fans on March 4, 2026. This launch event could see multiple products coming in. What’s interesting is that while this is a global launch, it will be even more special for India as it will be the day of Indian festival Holi. We expect the company to launch the iPhone 17e along with a new affordable MacBook lineup.Read More – iPhone 18 Pro to Feature New C2 5G Modem: ReportThe iPhone 17e could be powered by the A19 chipset and feature a Dynamic Island-style OLED display.

TL;DR JointFM is the first AI foundation model for zero-shot joint distributional forecasting in multivariate time-series systems. By generating coherent future scenarios in milliseconds, it enables real-time portfolio decision-making without the lag of traditional numerical simulations. JointFM represents a paradigm shift in quantitative modeling: trained on an infinite stream of dynamics from synthetic stochastic differential equations (SDEs), JointFM acts as your digital quant. Setting the stage: why quantitative modeling needs a new approach Modeling complex systems has traditionally required a painful trade-off. Classical quant methods (like correlation copulas or coupled SDEs) offer high mathematical fidelity but are rigid, slow, and…

One of the things that we have writeten about a lot in Smart Data Collective is how cities are applying AI to improve public services, including playground design. There are new projects where AI systems analyze usage patterns, injury reports, and weather data to guide safer equipment choices.Keep reading to learn more.How AI Is Changing Playground Design in CitiesSam Goldstein Ph.D. of Raising Resilient Children reported that AI can help children become more intelligent by supporting cognitive growth through interactive learning. There are playground developers who are embedding responsive elements that adapt to children’s problem-solving skills. Something that city planners…

Image: edhardie/Unsplash A new social engineering campaign is abusing fake CAPTCHA verification pages to trick Windows users into launching StealC information-stealing malware. The attack relies on compromised websites that display convincing Cloudflare-style security checks, prompting victims to manually execute malicious PowerShell commands under the guise of routine verification. “StealC exfiltrates browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallets, Steam accounts, Outlook credentials, system information, and screenshots to a command-and-control (C2) server using RC4-encrypted HTTP traffic,” LevelBlue researchers said. Inside the StealC infection chain StealC harvests browser credentials, email logins, cryptocurrency wallet data, and system information, enabling account takeover, fraud, and lateral movement. These risks…

As the province prepares to table its 2026 budget on Feb. 17, B.C. families are doing their own budgeting at the kitchen table. In the past two weeks, we heard from a mom weighing whether to cut after-school programs to cover higher heating bills during a cold snap. We heard from a homeowner who wants to retrofit an aging house to keep bills down, but the upfront costs are out of reach. Across our memberships, the message is the same: People want solutions that lower monthly costs, but they need those savings to be within reach. It’s no wonder: Winter…

Oct 20, 2021 I was trying to recreate an existing user interface view in SwiftUI but got stumped for a while by some erratic behavior. I’ve built a nice sample app which is also on GitHub. This has been filed as FB9715757. Description If you have a List with movable rows that has a Textfield in its rows there is an issue if you try to move a row while it is first responder. Steps to Reproduce Please run the provided sample app on iOS 15 simulator. Tap on the item titled ‘One’ below and modify the string.Use the item’s…

Pseudonymous maker “Ok_Party_1645,” hereafter simply “Party,” has shown off a cyberdeck truly worthy of the name — built, as it is, by hand from reclaimed parts and a low-cost single-board computer: the SexyberDeck.”Here the idea,” Party writes of the project, which takes its inspiration from classic cyberpunk literature like William Gibson’s Neuromancer. “I wanted a truly handmade build to stick with the improvised-cyberpunk-recycled-trash feel, so there is no 3D-printed parts, no laser cutting, only hand tools.”This Gibsonesque cyberdeck really lives up to its inspiration, with a custom keyboard and upcycled housing. (📷: Ok_Party_1645)To start, Party needed a casing — and…
