Rival app stores. A new mobile ecosystem. And the key players in a battle that's been going on for four years remain the same. Epic's challenge to Apple's App Store practices has found a foothold in Europe, where new laws are redrawing the competitive map. Similar concerns about App Store creation, in-app payments and fees have been raised in the United States, where Apple was able to block Epic from launching its App Store there. But the fight is already playing out vigorously in continental Europe, where Epic just debuted its mobile App Store. The new store will offer gamers…

While the foundation for commercial offshore wind development is in Europe (and will remain the largest market across the region for offshore wind activity over the next decade), the rapid development of the vast East Asia and Pacific region brings both opportunities and some challenges to the supply chain.According to World Bank data, East Asia and the Pacific region has a technical potential of over 15,000 GW, of which about 27% is suitable for fixed-bottom foundations and the rest for floating technologies. 90% of the potential is concentrated in seven countries: (in descending order) Australia, China, New Zealand, Japan, South…

As Bridge reported, state officials didn't vet Corker and DeMasi before awarding the grants, and as with many profit-inducing grants, the law was vague, leaving some state officials struggling to figure out who should receive the money.In the end, lobbyists told state health officials that Corker's nonprofit was the grant recipient, and the money was awarded after state officials told colleagues that the grant recipient was “politically well-connected and a little restless.”The state health department sent $10 million to Coker's nonprofit before halting the grant. DeMasi, a longtime friend of Coker's, provided consulting services to the so-called Complete Health Park…

On July 29, the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Conduct issued Formal Opinion 512 on generative artificial intelligence tools. The opinion follows comments and guidance from several state bar associations, as well as similar efforts by non-US bar associations and regulatory agencies around the world. The ABA previously added commentary to its Black Letter Model Rules on Competence stating that competence includes grasping the “benefits and risks associated with the relevant technology,” but Generative AI (GAI) has questioned the continued viability of the current rules to address this particular technology. Formal Opinion 512 indicates that it…

Companies are talking enthusiastically about adopting artificial and generative AI, and many are moving forward with their adoption. But while they are enthusiastic about adopting this technology, companies need to be careful because moving too fast can lead to employee burnout.One concern is resource constraints: “We're not getting the additional resources to evaluate the potential benefits of AI,” said Bob Huber, chief security officer at cybersecurity product provider Tenable. “Resources have to come from elsewhere, either by reprioritizing people's time or by putting other projects on the back burner.”Employees end up doing double or triple work, further straining already limited…
