Fitness apparel maker Lululemon has added a 2030 renewable energy goal for top suppliers while downgrading procurement plans that called for including at least 25 percent of “preferred” materials by weight in 100 percent of its products by 2030. Under the revision, the company will now seek to hit 90 percent over the same timeframe. “Integrating sustainability into the rhythm of production creation is a hard thing to do,” said Noel Kinder, Lululemon’s senior vice president of sustainability. The new energy target calls for 50 percent of the electricity consumption of tier 1 and tier 2 business partners to be…

When we launched the Secure Future Initiative (SFI), our mission was clear: accelerate innovation, strengthen resilience, and lead the industry toward a safer digital future. Today, we’re sharing our latest progress report that reflects steady progress in every area and engineering pillar, underscoring our commitment to security above all else. We also highlight new innovations delivered to better protect customers, and share how we use some of those same capabilities to protect Microsoft. Through SFI, we have improved the security of our platforms and services and our ability to detect and respond to cyberthreats. Fostering a security-first mindset  Engineering sentiment…

JPMorgan Chase says it’s been billed a total of $142 million in legal fees for the defense of Charlie Javice and Olivier Amar, respectively the founder and chief marketing officer at financial aid startup Frank. JPMorgan acquired Frank for $175 million in 2021, but earlier thai year, Javice and Amar were found guilty earlier of defrauding the bank by inflating Frank’s customer count, with Javice sentenced to seven years in prison. JPMorgan is now seeking to overturn a judge’s order requiring the bank to pay the pair’s legal fees, as reported in The Wall Street Journal. Michael Pittinger, a lawyer…

Precise control over surface properties is crucial for the design of nanocarriers in biomedical applications. These properties influence biological interactions. Functional co-monomers can be used to tailor the surface chemistry of nanocarriers synthesized in radical heterophase polymerization in aqueous phase. However, achieving similar control over nanocarriers derived from natural materials in inverse miniemulsion, such as protein nanocapsules, remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate how the surface functional group density of protein nanocapsules can be tuned systematically by varying the hydrophobicity of the continuous phase during the synthesis via the click reaction between hydrophilic azide-modified proteins and a hydrophobic dialkyne crosslinker. By…

CSS selectors never cease to amaze me in how powerful they can be in matching complex patterns. Most of that flexibility is in parent/child/sibling relationships, very seldomly in value matching. Consider my surprise when I learned that CSS allows matching attribute values regardless off case! Adding a {space}i to the attribute selector brackets will make the attribute value search case insensitive: /* case sensitive, only matches “example” */ [class=example] { background: pink; } /* case insensitive, matches “example”, “eXampLe”, etc. */ [class=example i] { background: lightblue; } The use cases for this i flag are likely very limited, especially if…

After a flurry of initial investments in artificial intelligence (AI) projects, including generative and agentic AI implementations, many organizations are facing mixed results and coming to hasty conclusions about AI’s utility. The harsh reality of early experimentation has blunted expected productivity gains and new revenue streams. A recent MIT report suggests that despite investments of $30 billion to $40 billion into generative AI, 95 percent of organizations are realizing zero returns. It is unsurprising therefore that in its 2025 Hype Cycle, Gartner has placed generative AI in the Trough of Disillusionment. When organizations fail to see immediate ROI from a…

TechTides, one of the region’s most anticipated Technology Conferences, has exceeded all expectations ahead of its upcoming event taking place next Tuesday, 18th November. Originally launched with a target of 350 attendees, the conference has already attracted more than 600 registered participants, marking significant momentum for its inaugural event. TechTides Conference 18th November TechTides brings together innovators, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and technology enthusiasts for a full day of forward-thinking conversations, networking, and insight into emerging trends across the tech ecosystem. The overwhelmingly positive response highlights the growing demand for collaboration and knowledge-sharing within the tech community. “We are absolutely thrilled…

Consider a world where machines not only keep records but also think, learn, and adapt; this is no longer fiction, but the emerging reality of artificial intelligence. Whether applied to voice assistants, autonomous vehicles, or many other use cases, AI-based technology is transforming work, life, and connectivity. Artificial intelligence (AI) can be described as intelligent systems that resemble human intelligence to make decisions, solve problems, and learn. However, within a couple of decades, AI went on to become a critical instrument in almost every industry. With smarter algorithms and larger datasets, the future of AI is set to change all…

This guest post is by Sunil Soares, founder and CEO of YDC – AI Governance. Previously, he founded and led Information Asset, a data management firm. Sunil brings a deeply-researched perspective to AI governance—authoring 13 books that have shaped how enterprises approach data and AI at scale.The YDC team developed an AI Governance prototype in Atlan. We reused the existing operating model with assets and added custom attributes and relations.AI Use CasesAs discussed in an earlier blog, a digital twin may be a virtual replica of a particular patient that reflects the unique genetic makeup of the patient or a simulated three-dimensional…
