Today's Story Highlights

Instagram May Roll Out App for 'Real Friends' Sharing
A new application may be in the works that allows Instagram users to
share real-time information with their closest friends. Called
"Threads," the app allows users to set up automatic sharing with their
closest Instagram buddies of such information as location, movement and
battery life, as well as text, video and photo messages generated using
Instagram's tools.

Report: Chinese Hackers Eye US Cancer Research
Hackers affiliated with the Chinese government have been making a
concerted effort to steal medical research, particularly cancer
research, from U.S. institutions. The step-up in medical research theft
by Chinese APT hacker groups appears to be linked to China's growing
concern over cancer mortality rates and increasing healthcare costs.
Cancer in the leading cause of death in China.

Tips for Women and Girls Interested in STEAM Careers
I came to tech by accident. Trained in public health and international
development, I was presented with a problem that needed to be fixed.
Suffering from a naturally inquisitive mind as I do, it was only a few
rabbit holes later that I found my world blown open by a richly diverse
global network of coders, mappers, geeks and dreamers. These are folks
are hacking real-world development challenges.

Apple, Tesla, IBM: Only One Has Gotten the 'Unique' Model Right
I'm struck by the way Apple and Tesla are executing a model very similar
to IBM's. While IBM has evolved to put the customer at the center
always, Apple and Tesla are nuanced in that respect, much like IBM was
in the past. I worked at IBM when it imploded in the early 1990s, so I
can speak to what is in Apple and Tesla's future unless they learn the
easy way what IBM learned the hard way.

Will Consumers Balk at 5G Phone Prices?
Consumers could suffer from sticker shock when it comes time to buy a
5G-enabled phone, suggests a new report from IHS Markit, based on a poll
conducted in the U.S. Although consumers expect to pay more money for 5G
smartphones, the prices may exceed their expectations dramatically, with
some devices selling for as much as 29 times more than what the average
buyer might anticipate.
