NYPD officers rescue ducklings trapped in the sewer

NEW YORK (PIX11) — A trio of NYPD officers worked together to pull off a one-of-a-kind rescue, helping reunite a group of ducklings with their mother.

The officers found the flock of ducklings trapped in the sewer after receiving a call for help on Staten Island.

They were able to remove the ducklings from the sewer. A video of the family reunion was shared by the NYPD 123rd Precinct on X.

The NYPD News account joked that they investigated the incident and determined there was no “fowl” play.

French startup ten ten finds viral success and controversy in reinventing walkie-talkies
Less than one year after its iOS launch, French startup ten ten has gone viral with a walkie-talkie app that allows teens to send voice messages to their close friends — even when their phone is locked. Whether you think that's a recipe for disaster or the coolest thing you've heard may depend on your age group, and teens clearly heard of that one long before we did; although walkie talkies are clearly not a new concept, even in app form. "We’re ephemeral by design," ten ten co-founder and CEO, Jule Comar said in a written interview with TechCrunch.

Unity co-founder David Helgason's next act: Gaming the climate crisis
Having stepped out as CEO in 2014, Helgason still sits on the board of the now-listed company he co-founded in Copenhagen in 2004; but most of his time is dedicated to Transition Ventures, an early stage venture capital firm he launched in 2021 to focus on the climate.

VCs are selling shares of hot AI companies like Anthropic and xAI to small investors in a wild SPV market
SPVs are generally formed by investors who have direct access to the shares of these startups and then turn around and sell a part of their allocation to external backers, often charging significant fees while retaining some profit share, known as carry. While SPVs aren’t new – smaller investors have relied on them for years – there’s a growing trend of SPVs successfully getting shares from the biggest names in AI. Rather than giving up the shares because the early investor can’t afford them, they’ll create the SPV, fund it by raising money from others, and, in most cases, charge additional fees.
