Tell us about your career before WeFlex – especially about your vast entrepreneurial, tech and fintech experience  For the first 12 years of my career, I worked in a more corporate environment. I started off as a finance lawyer in New York, and then in London, primarily in energy finance, both structured and leveraged. After that I moved to investment banking at HSBC, joining and eventually running an advisory and finance team focused on oil and gas companies, and managing a $4 billion loan book, which was all structured, and not dissimilar to the financing structures we offer at WeFlex.…

El Salvador’s national Bitcoin treasury is back in the green.At least, that’s the latest data from NayibTracker.com, a website dedicated to following the performance of El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele’s decision to invest in Bitcoin in 2021. The website tracks the time and date of known purchases, as well as those that Bukele has pledged to follow through on.According to the data, the total investment of $127 million has yielded a current value increase of $4 million, translating to a profit of 3.17%.The data appeared to be confirmed Monday through posts on X by Bukele, who recently stepped down from the presidency to…

Residuals of our primary sample (gray shaded region) and BASS sources (white region) from the best-fitting mmFP, plotted as a function of the SMBH mass measurement method. “Dyn” refers to dynamical mass measurements, “Ⴓ★” to estimates from the MBH – Ⴓ★ relation of van den Bosch (2016), “Hα/Hβ” to the broad-line method and “Reverb” to reverberation mapping. Each set of data points is represented by a violin describing the underlying distribution. The number of sources in the mmFP whose MBH has been estimated using that particular method is indicated above each violin. In each case, the blue horizontal lines denote…

Councillors Bharti Gajjar and Chandni Mistry were suspended from the local party and committees on Brighton and Hove City Council after an investigation was launched into them both. The pair have now officially been kicked out, with Labour calling for them both to stand down and trigger a by-election for their Kemptown and Queen’s Park. However, Chandni Mistry told The Argus today that she lives in the Brighton Pavilion constituency. We have contacted the council and the Labour Party for clarification. Councillor Amanda Grimshaw, chief whip to the Labour group, said: “We now call on Councillors Gajjar and Mistry to do…

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! In this issue: Why space parachutes are so hard A new lawsuit alleging safety issues at Blue Origin News from Loft Orbital, Relativity Space and more SpaceX is known for its vertical integration, but one component it’s been outsourcing is parachutes — until earlier this month, when the company quietly acquired parachute vendor Pioneer Aerospace after its parent company went bankrupt. The Information first reported the news. Saving a vendor from dissolution — which would’ve likely been Pioneer’s fate, given the bankruptcy of its parent company — seems like a strong gesture on the part…

This achievement positions them, with IBM, as front runners to reach quantum utility for real-world use cases. The experiment was run with Algorithmiq’s proprietary error mitigation algorithms on the IBM Nazca, the 127 qubit Eagle processor, using 50 active qubits x 98 layers of CNOTS and thus a total of 2402 CNOTS gates. This significant milestone for the field is the result of a collaboration between the two teams, who joined forces back in 2022 to pave the way towards achieving the first useful quantum advantage for chemistry. Quantum computers, when operated, still have high levels of errors that stand…

Water is often the go-to resource for heat transfer, being used in large-scale cooling operations like data centers that power the internet and nuclear power plants that power cities. Discovering dynamic phenomena to make water-based heat transfer more energy and cost efficient is the ongoing work of Jonathan Boreyko, associate professor and John R. Jones III Faculty Fellow in mechanical engineering. Boreyko and his team have published extensively on the topic of water and the way it can move, with members of his Nature-Inspired Fluids and Interfaces Lab producing water droplets that leap propelled by surface tension and frost that…
