What began as a relatively niche conspiracy theory from the far right was able to—and continues to—influence a wide range of actions by the second Trump administration. In myriad ways, the idea of the censorship-industrial complex, or CIC, explains the logic behind how the administration operates both at home and internationally. Over the past nine months, MIT Technology Review and Type Investigations have traced how the theory came to influence the country’s most powerful individuals. We found that it took off in 2023, driven by a handful of individuals, with support from a close-knit group of right-wing organizations and media…

Key Takeaways  The fully loaded cost of a single physical communication can reach $4.00 USD, and shifting 40–50% of volume to digital channels can cut annual costs by $1M–$4M.  Physical mail creates measurable compliance risk: delivery failures, weak audit trails, and version control gaps that digital channels resolve.  Successful postal reduction programs require a combination of technology, cross-functional ownership, clean customer data, and a clear business case.    Across regulated industries like financial services, banking, and insurance, physical mail has long been the default. Statements, policy documents, renewal notices, compliance disclosures, welcome packs — millions of envelopes, printed and mailed every week, often out of habit as much as…

AI infrastructure startup Volta has emerged from stealth with a $2.4 billion valuation and a $10 billion agreement to provide cloud computing capacity in Europe alongside Bitdeer Technologies.The seven-month-old company said the six-year agreement will support an unnamed AI company through infrastructure at a Bitdeer-operated data centre in Norway. Bloomberg reported that the customer is Anthropic, citing people familiar with the matter, although Reuters said it could not independently verify the information.The Norway project will provide 133 megawatts of capacity and use Nvidia’s Vera Rubin systems. Volta said it is the first development in a pipeline containing more than 1…

OpenAI models going rogue, the first documented agentic ransomware operation, and an emergent AI-driven supply chain threat made for a packed July roundup 31 Jul 2026 With July coming to a close, ESET Chief Security Evangelist Tony Anscombe looks back at some of the top cybersecurity stories that made the news over the past month and offers insights that they may hold for your own cyber-defenses. Here’s some of what caught Tony’s attention this month: OpenAI models went rogue and autonomously broke into AI collaboration platform Hugging Face in what OpenAI described as “an unprecedented cyber incident”. Researchers at Sysdig…

Mechanical recycling of plastics can be significantly undermined by even small amounts of cross-contamination between common packaging polymers, according to researchers at the University of Manchester, who say improved quality-control tools are needed to support a circular plastics economy When it is done well, in other words when your yogurt pots (polypropylene, PP) are sorted from your milk jugs (high density polyethylene), mechanical recycling is the most environmentally positive way to turn plastic waste into new products in a circular plastics economy, turning pots into pots and jugs into jugs. However, poor sorting can lead to mixing polyolefins together, changing…

People who are concerned about data privacy might use encryption or specialized hardware for additional peace of mind. But there is a cost associated with this approach: it makes your data look like it is valuable. Someone with malicious intent might pass by a thumb drive that fell out of a backpack, but a hardware-encrypted drive is an immediate signal that whatever is stored inside is worth protecting — and worth hacking.A new open source project called Phantomdrive hopes to solve that problem by making an encrypted drive look completely ordinary. Developed by Ryan Walker of Rootkit Labs, Phantomdrive presents…

Jason Gorman, a software development expert and founder of Codemanship, joins host Giovanni Asproni to explore how best to use AI in software development. They start by considering how established technical practices — test-driven development, modularization, continuous integration, and continuous reviews — become more important, not less, when working with AI assistance. These practices help address several key limitations of LLMs, including keeping context windows as small as possible. Looking at AI’s impact on team productivity, Jason offers some practical advice for teams to introduce AI tools into their workflows. The episode also explores spec-driven development, agentic programming, and the…

Preparation of BSLBs1,2-Diarachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (20:4-20:4 (DAPC)), 1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (18:1-18:1 Δ9cis (DOPC)), 1,2-dipetroselenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (18:1-18:1 Δ6cis), 1,2-dielaidoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (18:1-18:1 Δ9trans), 1,2-dipalmitoleoysl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (16:1-16:1 Δ9cis), 1,2-dipalmitelaidoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (16:1-16:1 Δ9trans), 1-stearoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (18:0-18:1), 1-stearoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (18:0-18:2), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (16:0-18:1 (POPC)) and cholesterol were from Avanti Polar Lipids. As a first step, 10 µl of each lipid at 25 mg ml−1 (in chloroform) was dried under a gentle stream of nitrogen to form a thin lipid film. The dried film was rehydrated in 1 ml of SLB buffer (150 mM NaCl, 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.4), vortexed briefly and sonicated using a tip sonicator (power, 3; duty cycle, 40%) for 10 min to generate small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs). To form…
