Trump administration warns more than 500 hospitals to provide more price information or face fines

The Trump administration has warned more than 500 hospitals that they are failing to provide the public with basic pricing information — arguing that the lack of disclosure is keeping healthcare costs higher than they should be.

Failing to comply with the warnings comes with penalties as high as $2 million annually for each recipient that doesn't create a plan to post clear pricing data.

Apple and Brussels blame each other for delaying European Union rollout of Siri AI

Apple and the European Union are blaming each other for delaying a rollout of the iPhone maker’s long awaited Siri AI app to European users. A spokesman for the 27-nation EU’s executive arm on Tuesday disputed Apple’s explanation for why the company can't include European users when the app launches later this year. “We indeed need to set the record straight,” European Commission spokesman Thomas Regnier said. “The decision not to roll out Siri AI in the EU is Apple’s and Apple’s only because absolutely nothing in the DMA prohibits Ap

The Strait of Hormuz is ‘leaking’ oil

One of the biggest mysteries of the global economy is why the oil market has remained so calm during one of the greatest supply shocks in history.The Strait of Hormuz has been paralyzed by three months of war — a nightmare scenario that few thought was possible before the war with Iran started. Visible traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains sparse, estimated at just 15% of pre-war levels, according to JPMorgan.Yet oil futures have not skyrocketed to the dangerous levels forecasters feared — at least not yet.One theory is that a surprisingly large amount of crude is escaping the doubl

From LA to Scottsdale: The Founder Behind AdDynamix Is Building the Bridge Between AI and Business Tools

An LA digital advertising veteran of 28 years has moved to Scottsdale and is building what he calls the missing piece between business software and the AI assistants people now use every day. SCOTTSDALE, AZ. When Benoit Pecqueur talks about his latest company, he sounds less like a founder pitching a product and more like an operator who got tired of watching the same problem repeat itself. “Most small business owners are watching the AI revolution from the sidelines,” he says. “Not because they don’t want it.
