In 2021, Texas suffered the worst energy infrastructure failure in state history, following three severe winter storms in February. At least 246 people were killed as a result of the disruptions, which led to food, water, heat and electricity shortages.If energy officials had had more time to prepare for the storms, for example by bringing in more trucks of natural gas to disrupted areas, damage from the event could have been mitigated. Unfortunately, weather forecasts beyond two weeks are notoriously unreliable, making for a tighter window for energy operators, farmers, and emergency response officials around the globe.A new technique by…

The lawsuits cover everything from the design of ChatGPT to the company’s recent issues with rogue agents. Smith Collection/gado/Getty Images In a coordinated effort, eight states have filed lawsuits against OpenAI alleging the company has violated state-level consumer protection laws and endangered children. As Reuters first reported, Attorneys General from Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, West Virginia, Arkansas, Arizona, Idaho and Montana each filed in their respective state courts, but with the shared goals of changing how OpenAI develops its models and advertises their capabilities, and forcing the company to pay for the harm it’s allegedly caused. The lawsuits claim…

Trump White House aides see almost no paths to Republicans keeping control of the House in the midterm elections, and are more focused on redoubling their efforts to save the Senate majority.That has been the takeaway for officials in GOP groups who have been discussing the state of play with White House aides in recent weeks, according to three sources familiar with the situation.It all comes as the White House moves into damage-control mode after contemplating for the first time earlier this month, as Inner Loop previously reported, that Republicans could possibly lose both chambers of Congress.The general expectation is…

Edge security startup Huskeys Security Ltd. today added Profiling to its platform to map out which parts of a company’s web applications the business depends on. The new capability goes after a longstanding problem at the network edge, where most large organizations run a stack of third-party security products from different vendors. Content delivery networks, bot defenses and web application firewalls each see only their own layer of traffic. Without context from the others, Huskeys argues, controls tend to end up generic, and that can mean blocking legitimate customers. Profiling starts with the application itself. The software looks at who…

These investments also reflect…

Search behaviors will continue to evolve. But how can b2b marketers adapt? That’s the million dollar question we’re answering here. The buyer is searching. But for what? Your dashboard might say “best CRM software” or “AI tools for marketing.” A category. A keyword. The kind of buyer signals your teams can build a campaign around. But underneath that search is a problem the buyer has not resolved. Their sales team is losing track of conversations. Marketing cannot explain where the budget went. Another tool has promised efficiency, and nobody wants to manage its implementation. They are not necessarily searching for…

MIT Lincoln Laboratory hosted the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology (NSCEB) on Sept. 3, for a stop on its national roadshow. The event convened representatives of state organizations, defense centers, universities, technology companies, and business executives to discuss how Massachusetts’ biotechnology ecosystem can strengthen national biodefense capabilities.”We have a lot to leverage in this region to advance biotechnology,” said Christina Rudzinski, assistant head of the Biotechnology and Human Systems Division at Lincoln Laboratory. “Many people are already working together to push the bioindustrial sector beyond biopharmaceuticals and into a broader ecosystem across industries. This synergy is where NSCEB comes in —…

Getty Images’ headquarters at 605 Union Station in Seattle. (GeekWire Photo / Kurt Schlosser) Getty Images, the stock-photo giant with a presence in Seattle dating back to the dot-com era, plans to keep its headquarters in the city and avoid layoffs as it heads into a prearranged bankruptcy intended to cut its debt and take the company private.

Getty is best known for…
