For Today's Business Traveler, It's All About Work-Life Integration

wired.com Paul Jebara 2026-02-15 15:00:00

These days, business travel no longer means putting your life on hold. In my own work as a travel writer, forever shuttling between airports and hotel lobbies, I lean on small habits that make unfamiliar places feel less anonymous. Before work takes over, I’ll put on a Greek or Arabic podcast to keep the languages of my family close to me. They’re the ones I grew up hearing around the dinner table, and there’s a quiet fear they’ll slip away if I stop listening. Folding moments like these into my

Last March, Air France hosted a private event at the upscale Ritz Paris hotel in Place Vendôme, in the luxurious heart of the city. The airline had built a full-scale mock-up of its new La Première first-class cabin and treated travel journalists like its most valued customers. The new cabin was classic and elegant, a showcase of the Air France aesthetic. Matteo Rainisio, founder of the Italian frequent-flier website The Flight Club, who was in attendance, called it akin to haute couture. Each

Business Travel Is Evolving Faster Than Ever. We’ll Help You Navigate It

wired.com Katie Drummond 2026-02-16 00:00:00

It might feel like a distant memory, but in 2020 the Covid-19 pandemic radically transformed how people lived, and specifically how they worked. At the time, plenty of health experts, CEOs, and publications (including WIRED) predicted that Covid would grind business travel to a halt indefinitely. If our day-to-day tasks and meetings could happen using Zoom, Slack, and other online tools, the logic went, then why not apply that same digital-first philosophy to work trips?

What happened when Anthropic's Claude AI ran a small shop for a month (spoiler: it got weird)

zdnet.com Webb Wright 2026-02-20 15:05:49

Daniel Grizelj/Getty Images Large language models (LLMs) handle many tasks well -- but at least for the time being, running a small business doesn't seem to be one of them. On Friday, AI startup Anthropic published the results of "Project Vend," an internal experiment in which the company's Claude chatbot was asked to manage an automated vending machine service for about a month. Launched in partnership with AI safety evaluation company Andon Labs, the project aimed to get a clearer sense of h

If you're worried your local bodega or convivence store may soon be replaced by an AI storefront, you can rest easy — at least for the time being. Anthropic recently concluded an experiment, dubbed Project Vend, that saw the company task an offshoot of its Claude chatbot with running a refreshments business out of its San Francisco office at a profit, and things went about as well as you would expect. The agent, named Claudius to differentiate it from Anthropic's regular chatbot, not only made s

Auth for B2B SaaS: it's not like auth for consumer software

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-20 23:06:14

Auth for business software (B2B) shouldn’t look the same as auth for consumer software (B2C). In many cases, it actually can’t work the same way. I’ll cover three important buckets of differences between B2B auth and B2C auth: Logical isolation and tenancy models Priorities and trade-offs Protocols and features By the way – let’s use auth loosely here and let it subsume related stuff like user management.
