Somewhere between the moment a developer types npm install and the moment their application goes live, a universe of trust assumptions plays out — most of them unexamined. That gap between assumption and reality has become the most exploited vulnerability in modern software development, and the consequences are accelerating.

Europe has a dependency problem. Not on oil. Not on rare earth minerals.

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-8534 and CVE-2024-8535, affects

A growing share of the global workforce has made peace with a once-unthinkable idea: letting artificial intelligence call the shots at work. Not just scheduling meetings or sorting emails. Actually managing them. Assigning tasks, evaluating performance, making decisions that shape careers. And according to recent survey data, many employees don’t just tolerate the concept —

A year ago, Marvell Technology was a name most generalist investors couldn’t pick out of a lineup. It wasn’t Nvidia. It wasn’t Broadcom. It was the other chip company — the one headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, with roots in Bermuda and a CEO who kept talking about custom silicon like it was the future of

North Carolina is doing something no other state east of the Mississippi has pulled off in modern history.
