Accolade, a start-up that helps workers navigate their health benefits and dealings with insurance companies, has hired banks including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to advise ahead of a possible initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter. Should Accolade go public, it will join a growing number of health-technology companies that are testing the public markets. Like Accolade, these companies sell their health services to a mix of self-insured employers and health p

At CES 2020, Google announced a series of features it plans on adding to Google Assistant. There are some meant to specifically help out families, new privacy options and new ways to interact with language. And Google showed off these capabilities in a mammoth temporary building outfitted with slides and a ball pit. CNBC was there to check it out — watch the video to learn more.

Besides the iPhone, AirPods appear to be Apple’s smash hit of the holiday shopping season. It’s that optimism around Apple’s wearables that has helped push the stock to new all-time highs in the new year. There’s still plenty of room for Apple’s wearables business to grow. Apple’s latest batch of subscription services — Apple News+, Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade — all had relatively lukewarm launches compared with the gadgets that came out during the same period. But AirPods and the Apple Watch are

Google on Wednesday updated its travel site with features that will provide more information about where you’re planning to take your next trip. It will show you, for example, the cheapest and most expensive times of year at your destination, as well as the typical weather in that place. If you’re thinking about a vacation during the summer and want to travel somewhere sunny but not too hot, and also want to see the months when it’s cheapest to do so, you can do that using Google’s new travel si

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Wednesday it was launching an investigation into the Dec. 29 crash of a Tesla Model 3 that left a passenger dead after the vehicle collided with a parked fire truck in Indiana. The crash is the 14th involving Tesla that NHTSA’s special crash investigation program has taken up in which it suspects the company’s so-called Autopilot or other advanced driver assistance system was in use. It is the third Tesla crash NHTSA has sai

In the fiscal third quarter, Macy’s posted its first same-store sales decline in two years, and slashed its profit outlook for the year. The new wave of closures follows holiday sales that were not quite as bad as some have feared . Macy’s said Wednesday it will shutter nearly 30 stores , in an effort to boost its profitability and focus on its most profitable stores. As the map shows, the planned closures of 28 Macy’s stores and 1 Bloomingdale’s location are largely concentrated the eastern hal

SALEM, New Hampshire — Walmart thinks it has a technological weapon that will enable it to pick, pack and deliver shoppers’ online grocery orders faster as the company tries to strengthen its foothold as America’s largest grocer. Walmart’s grocery business has been on fire, especially online. That’s good for the retailer: Grocery sales account for 56% of Walmart’s total U.S. revenue. Today, it has nearly 3,100 pickup locations for online grocery orders across the U.S., with more than 1,400 store

Iraqi counter-terrorism forces stand guard in front of the US embassy in the capital Baghdad on January 2, 2020. Two rockets hit the Green Zone in Iraq’s capital of Baghdad, a day after Iran launched missiles at bases housing U.S. and other coalition forces in Iraq, according to a report Wednesday. Iraq’s military said two Katyusha rockets fell inside the Green Zone, the section that contains the U.S. Embassy, other embassies of Western nations and foreign businesses, according to Reuters. There

Rescue workers on Wednesday combed through wreckage of Kyiv-bound Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 on Tuesday. Because the crash occurred during heightened tensions between Iran and the U.S. information about the flight may remain scarce. It can sometimes take investigators more than a year to determine the cause of a plane crash and getting information about the deadly incident has become more complicated. Under international law, the country where the crash occurred controls the inves

It was unlike anything I had ever experienced, and it encouraged me to slow down and make some lifestyle improvements — specifically, in my frivolous and impulsive spending habits. …our spending habits are deeply cemented into our daily routine, and the act of spending also includes an emotional aspect that is difficult to detach from. As a result, I got better at making faster, smarter and more logical decisions about whether to spend money on a particular item. But that often meant spending

Most of these projects were mixed bags at best, whether in terms of ambition, financial success, fan reactions, or reviews. It’s all the more striking, then, that 2019’s three best American films directly engage with nostalgia — whether it belongs to their characters, their intended audience, or both. But Once Upon a Time is too savvy and self-aware to work as a pure nostalgia trip. Sam is defined in large part by the energy he expends on code-breaking and rabbit-hole navigation, and his apparen

Rise of Skywalker makes greater demands, and if Marvel’s The Rise of Kylo Ren #2 is any indication, the future of Star Wars storytelling is an all-encompassing transmedia odyssey. The movies would align with Project Luminous, a massive storytelling campaign previously teased at the 2019 Star Wars Celebration. The run-in — for reasons we won’t spoil here — will stick with Ben, and in theory the future Kylo Ren, forever. At the top of the year, Marvel rebooted Star Wars comics in anticipation of a

After the success of The Haunting of Hill House, Netflix is diving back into horror with Locke & Key, an adaptation of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodríguez’s comics series of the same name. The series focuses on a family who move back to their eerie ancestral home after a violent death that traumatizes them all. The three Locke children discover that the house is home to a set of secret magical keys, which all bestow different powers and abilities. Jackson Robert Scott, Connor Jessup, and Emilia Jones

“Book 2,” airing this week in another five-night, 10-episode rollout keeps the concept fresh by introducing a totally new character. Paired with a seasoned veteran of the train, the central mystery of the show shifts, sprinkling in new passenger Jesse’s backstory as the train barrels forward. Two nights in, Book 2 is already a sophisticated evolution of the first season, focusing on the way different characters interact with the fixed world. By the end of the fourth episode, MT and Jesse have ma

We’ve all had to put up with this annoying issue for years, but Bosch has been working on a potential solution that uses AI to tackle the problem. Throwing shadeThe Virtual Visor is actually a combination of ideas and technology. (Image credit: Bosch)Once it’s done that, the Virtual Visor gets adjusted to darken only the areas of the screen that are hitting the driver’s eyes. Admittedly the Bosch Virtual Visor is still a physical thing that’s there hanging from the roof of your car, but it’s def
