Wildlife photographer of year captured terrified marmot

It could almost be a scene from a slapstick comedy: a marmot stands frozen in fear, slack-jawed and balanced on one foot, as it suddenly notices a charging fox. Get Articles and ICO whitepapers written by Williams Alfred Onen

Startup school is back in session and the rules are changing

Hello, Welcome to this week's edition of Trending, the weekly newsletter highlighting the best of BI Prime's tech coverage. I'm Alexei Oreskovic, Business Insider's West Coast Bureau Chief and Global Tech Editor.  This week: Computer school has gotten cool Computer programming was once an unglamorous practice. At least, that's how it seemed to me as an incurious middle school student many years ago, pecking away in computer class on a TRS-80 and struggling to learn BASIC. It was tough to see how that kind of drudgery could make anyone's life better — at least, beyond the brief thrill that came from making an obscene word scroll across a classmate's monochrome screen. But today, knowing how to code is a sexy superpower; it's the special skill that can land you a job at Apple or Google . A variety of coding schools and boot camps have sprouted up to let anyone achieve the dream. Lambda School, based in San Francisco, is one of the most popular. In j

Watch Rocket Lab’s next Electron rocket launch live

Rocket Lab is launching its ninth Electron rocket today, with the launch set for 00:41 UTC (8:41 ET/5:41 PT). The mission, called “As The Crow Flies,” will be taking off from the company’s LC-1 launchpad in New Zealand, carrying a payload from Astro Digital to orbit. The launch was actually supposed to take a different spacecraft up to low Earth Orbit, but the payload was swapped late last month – an unusual move for a rocket launch, and one that Rocket Lab is using to demonstrate the flexibility of its commercial service model. Rocket Lab’s other customer had a delay, and Astro Digital was ready to send up one of its ‘Corvus’ imaging satellites, so it got to move up the timing of its launch as a result. Rocket Lab is currently on track to launch as planned, and the launch stream for the mission will be live above starting at around 20 minutes out from the T-0 launch window.

Jalen Ramsey traded to Rams for two first-round picks, fourth-round pick

The Los Angeles Rams’ trade of Marcus Peters on Tuesday was just the precursor to a much bigger move. The Rams are acquiring Jalen Ramsey in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars, ESPN’s Adam Schefter first reported on Tuesday night. The Rams are sending the Jags first-round picks in 2020 and 2021 as well as a fourth-round pick in 2021 as part of the deal. After placing Aqib Talib on injured reserve this week and dealing Peters to Baltimore on Tuesday, the Rams are shoring up their secondary by adding perhaps the best cover corner in the league. As for Jacksonville, the Jaguars get the haul of picks they were seeking from the time Ramsey requested a trade. The cornerback got into it with head coach Doug Marrone in Week 2 and then asked for a trade. Over the ensuing weeks, Ramsey complained about a back injury and found other reasons not to be with the Jaguars as they sought a trade. Jaguars owner Shahid Khan did not want to trade him, but with the Rams paying the price they wanted, per

Cardinals implode to open up Game 4, give up seven runs in the first

The St. Louis Cardinals were able to witness another team implode earlier in the playoffs. It was now their turn to return the favor in Game 4 of the NLCS against the Washington Nationals. Facing a 3-0 series hole, St. Louis did everything possible to make sure this would be a clean sweep for a Nationals squad attempting to make its first ever World Series appearance. St. Louis gave up seven runs in the bottom of the first. It included six hits, an error and a walk. Down 2-0 in the first, three Cardinals players let an otherwise harmless Víctor Robles pop up fall. It plated a run and left the bases loaded. From there, Yan Gomes plated two more with a single to make it 5-0. The entire sequence was horrible for St. Louis. Washington was not done. Batting around in the first, Trea Turner drove in the final two runs with a single to left to make it 7-0. This is not the way the Cardinals had hoped Game 4 would start. And really, there’s nothing better the Nationals could have asked for as t

Watch: Officials already creating confusion on 'MNF'

They aren’t quite replacement officials. However, those zebras on the field early during the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers “Monday Night Football” game could have been mistaken for scabs. With Detroit up 3-0 in the first quarter and facing fourth-and-goal from the Packers’ one, running back Kerryon Johnson seemed to be stopped short of the end zone. At the very least, that’s what one official believed. Hilariously, another ref on the field thought otherwise. It was absolutely grand. It was initially ruled a touchdown. Officials upheld the call on the field. Well, at least the call one of them made. In the end, it proved to be the right call. @AyeyoKEJOpic.twitter.com/z5WUXArYVk— The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) October 15, 2019 Or, did it? pic.twitter.com/fyb6SltFk7— Matthew Lounsberry (@mlounsberry3434) October 15, 2019 Mass confusion in Green Bay on “Monday Night Football.” How fun.

The real reason IPOs are flopping is the lack of startup transparency, some experts say. And they worry that a new SEC rule could make things worse

While Silicon Valley VCs blame Wall Street's dominant role in IPOs, corporate governance experts say rules that allowed startups to withhold more information was a cause of recent flops They cite the impact of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act -- or the JOBS Act -- which allowed startups to file for an IPO confidentially and withhold more information about their financials. They worry that an SEC proposal to open up private markets could make the problem with the lack of transparency worse and hurt individual investors. Check out Business Insider's special series — Founder Frenemies — for more stories on Silicon Valley's changing landscape for startup funding.  It's been a year of IPO flops featuring high-profile names like Uber , Lyft and Peloton — and it's causing a stir in Silicon Valley's venture capital community.
