Australian productivity software company Atlassian held layoffs as the company looks to funnel more money into AI. Atlassian announced it’s cutting 10% of its workforce, around 1,600 people, on March 11. The company said this decision allows it to spend more funds on AI and enterprise sales and to strengthen its finances. More specifically, Atlassian said that it’s doing well but is choosing to adapt to market conditions. “The bar for what ‘great’ looks like for software companies — on growth, on profitability, on speed, on value creation — has gone up,” Atlassian CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes wrote in a press…

With the first images from the spacecraft now in hand, the team behind NASA’s Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat, or SPARCS, is ready to begin charting the energetic lives of the galaxy’s most common stars to help answer one of humanity’s most profound questions: Which distant worlds beyond our solar system might be habitable?  Initial, or “first light,” images mark the moment a mission proves its instruments are functioning in space and ready to transition to full science operations. This milestone is especially important for SPARCS, whose observations depend on highly precise ultraviolet (UV) measurements, making the demonstration of the camera’s…

Corporate ownership of bitcoin has reached a new high in early 2026 as exchange-traded funds, multinational corporations, and private firms expand their exposure to the asset, according to the latest corporate adoption report from BitcoinTreasuries.net. The data shows that institutional demand now forms a central pillar of the bitcoin market. Public companies, private firms, ETFs, and government-linked entities collectively hold a growing share of the circulating supply, with a small number of large buyers responsible for most accumulation. The findings illustrate a shift in bitcoin’s ownership structure. Early adoption was driven by retail investors and technology enthusiasts. Today, large financial…

Isteph Ayoub, 24, wants his new business, the Dials Convenience Store, at 157 Dyke Road, Hove, to be able to operate as an off-licence, with an alcohol licence from 8am to 11pm daily. But a Brighton and Hove City Council licensing panel was told that the area was already “saturated” with premises selling alcohol. And the council’s licensing policy restricts new off-licences in the area. At the licensing panel hearing on Tuesday, March 10, neighbour Helen Patrick said a high number of students from Bhasvic go past the premises. She said: “There is a high flow of Bhasvic students that…

Dating app maker Bumble is venturing into generative AI. During the company’s fourth-quarter earnings on Wednesday, Bumble introduced a new AI assistant it’s calling “Bee,” designed to become a personal matchmaker that learns users’ “values, relationship goals, communication style, lifestyle, and dating intentions” through private chats. It then uses those insights to help find the user more relevant matches. Currently, Bee is in the pilot phase and being tested internally, founder and CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd told investors, but it’s launching into beta soon. With Bee, the company envisions being able to capture much more information about Bumble users, as…

Revolut has been one of the most recognisable names in fintech for many years. With millions of users, sleek digital features and a reputation for moving faster than traditional financial institutions, it helped redefine what modern banking apps could look like. But there was always one important caveat: it wasn’t technically a fully licensed bank in its home market. It was seen as kind of a “younger sibling” that was good, effective and popular, but it just wasn’t quite the full package. As of today, however, that’s officially changed. Revolut has finally obtained its full UK banking license, which means…

Companies need to be ready with the right data architecture, and the next few months — years, at most — will be critical, says Irfan Khan, president and chief product officer of SAP Data & Analytics. “The only prediction anybody can reliably make is that we don’t know what’s going to happen in the years, months — or even weeks — ahead with AI,” he says. “To be able to get quick wins right now, you need to adopt an AI mindset and … ground your AI models with reliable data.” While data has always been important for business, it will…

The Fish Hotel is an inviting take on Scandi-cool-comfort and contemporary country living.  Delivering hygge for the Cotswolds, The Fish is an innovative country retreat, a rural playground of some 500 acres on the Gloucestershire and Worcestershire borders. Home to buzzards, deer and foxes, as well as weary urbanites and salivating foodies.  More rural community than hotel, The Fish’s collection of shepherds’ huts and treehouses is scattered amongst hillside banks of snowdrops and swathes of daffodils. Ponds glint in the spring sunshine, probably created centuries ago by monks to secure a regular supply of fish.  Blending adventure retreat, relaxed rural…
