A decentralised autonomous organisation, or DAO, is an emerging mechanism for collective decision-making with no central authority. A DAO provides an opportunity for a wide range of individuals around the world to be empowered and collaborate with other like-minded individuals with similar objectives. Which is why I’ve decided to turn Bywire News into a DAO. Members of a DAO will share a common purpose, acting to further the best interests of the entity through their participation, which often takes the form of creating and voting on proposals. Members of a DAO may often vote upon decisions that impact the DAO’s treasury, future project scope and technical upgrades. Alternatively, members may vote for DAO delegates, who once elected, take decisions on behalf of members. DAOs come in many different shapes and sizes, and there is debate around how much decentralisation and independence constitute both an effective and/or authentic DAO. Personally, I think Vitalik Buterin’s recent blog p...

By Steve Keating NEW, YORK - With the curtain having come down on the Serena Williams show, the U.S. Open woke up to an empty feeling on Saturday as the tennis world began to adjust to life without the sport's biggest star. For the first time since the U.S. Open began on Monday, the Williams name did not appear on the Flushing Meadows match schedule. The buzz that had been off the charts just 12-hours earlier, when Williams lost a three-set battle to Australian Ajla Tomljanovic in what was likely the final singles match of her glittering career, was dialled down to a hum on Saturday as lost-looking fans ambled around the sprawling tennis complex drifting from court to court. Williams had signalled her intention to retire in a Vogue article in early August, saying she was "evolving away from tennis" and although she never confirmed the U.S. Open as her final event the news sparked a frenzy with fans not willing to miss a chance to see the 23-times Grand Slam singles champion in action...
By Steve Keating NEW YORK - Serena Williams signalled she is not quite ready for retirement advancing to the second round of the U.S. Open on Monday with a scrappy 6-3 6-3 win over Danka Kovinic. The victory over the 80th ranked Kovinic, just her second this year, will be a confidence boost for Williams but the path to a record equalling 24th Grand Slam now gets treacherous. Waiting in the wings is Estonian second seed Anett Kontaveit, who breezed past Jaqueline Cristian 6-3 6-0. It was far from a vintage performance from the 40-year-old American but it mattered not to a jam-packed Arthur Ashe Stadium as Williams' fighting spirit remained razor sharp even if her serve and ground strokes were not. Even with Williams far from her best the odds always appeared stacked against the 27-year-old from Montenegro. Playing in her 21st U.S. Open, Williams has never lost in the first round and her victory over Kovinic was her 106th at Flushing Meadows. While Kovinic has been enjoying the best Gra...
By Tom Hals WILMINGTON, Del. - A whistleblower's complaint that Twitter Inc misled federal regulators about the company's security risks could provide Elon Musk with fresh ammunition in his bid to get out of buying the company for $44 billion. Until now, Musk's legal showdown with Twitter has primarily centered around claims that the company misled the billionaire about the number of bot and spam accounts on its platform. The whistleblower complaint by Twitter's former security chief Peiter Zatko gives Musk new angles to pursue in his legal battle, such as claims that Twitter failed to disclose weaknesses in its security and data privacy. It provides "a different basis for fraud," said Ann Lipton, a professor at Tulane Law School. It is not clear if and how Musk's team will use the whistleblower's information, although Musk's lawyer, Alex Spiro with Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, said on Tuesday that a subpoena had been issued to Zatko. "We found his exit and that of other key...
By Natalia Zinets and Andrea Shalal KYIV/LVIV, Ukraine - The U.N. chief and the presidents of Turkey and Ukraine discussed ways to end the war started by Russia and secure Europe's largest nuclear power station, which has come under shelling at the front lines. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told reporters after talks in Lviv, Ukraine, on Thursday that he was gravely concerned by circumstances at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and called for military equipment and personnel to be withdrawn. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said he, Guterres and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy discussed building on recent positive atmosphere to revive peace negotiations with Russia that took place in Istanbul in March. In a deal brokered by the U.N. and Turkey, Russia and Ukraine reached an agreement in July for Moscow to lift a blockade of Ukrainian grain shipments, and exports resumed at the beginning of August. NATO member Turkey has maintained good relations with Russia, an importa...

- Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said on Wednesday that a visit to Taiwan by U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi was a deliberate attempt by Washington to irritate China.

- At least seven people were killed in an attack by Ukrainian armed forces on Monday in the Russian-held town of Nova Kakhovka in Ukraine's southern Kherson region, Russian state news agency TASS said on Tuesday. "There are already seven dead for sure and about 60 wounded," TASS quoted Vladimir Leontyev, head of Russia-installed Kakhovka District military-civilian administration in the Kherson region.

According to TASS, in addition to damaged buildings, the attack also led to an explosion at fertiliser warehouses in the region. could not immediately verify the report.

Ukrainian officials said their...
By Simon Lewis and Anna Voitenko KREMENCHUK, Ukraine - In a central Ukrainian intensive-care ward, five people are crammed into a room, their wounds bound up in bloodied bandages. A dead body lies on a stretcher outside, covered in a blanket. This is the aftermath of a missile strike on a busy shopping mall in the city of Kremenchuk on Monday, southeast of Kyiv, an attack one of the patients described as "hell". According to Ukraine's emergency services the strike has killed at least 16 people and injured 59. "This is the sixth time the city has been bombed" since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, said Oleksandr Kovalenko, deputy director of the surgery department at Kremenchuk's public hospital. "But never before did it hit so many people." The hospital is treating 25 people injured in the attack, six of them in critical condition, he told .
