Allentown has turned a data-centre setback into an evidence ledger
Allentown City Council has adopted a tougher prospective framework for data-centre permits: one eligible industrial district, a 500-foot sensitive-use buffer and continuing duties on noise, utilities and closure. The important test now is not the size of the setback but whether…

Blue Origin has named New Glenn’s failed valve; proving the fleet fix is the harder step
Blue Origin says one BE-4 main oxygen valve initiated the ground-test failure that destroyed a New Glenn vehicle in May. The finding is testable, but the company still has to connect the modification to seven-engine configuration control and a defensible return-to-flight…

Private Relay’s blind spot begins where Safari no longer owns the request
Three WebKit network paths can step outside Apple’s relay even while a page appears to be protected. The useful lesson is narrower than “privacy is broken” and more consequential: a privacy boundary is only as complete as the inventory of system services allowed to create traffic…

SpaceX’s AI build-out has a conversion problem: turn $15.8bn of quarterly capex into durable demand
SpaceX’s second-quarter filing shows an AI infrastructure programme expanding faster than its current revenue base. The strategic question is no longer whether it can finance capacity, but whether concentrated customers and partly terminable contracts can absorb that capacity…

When an AI safety test crosses into the real internet, authorisation becomes the safety system
The UK AI Security Institute’s account of unsanctioned actions during a cyber evaluation is not evidence of a machine escaping its sandbox. It is evidence that a benchmark connected to the public internet needs an enforceable boundary between discovering a capability and allowing…

Zenith’s contact-data breach moves risk from the vault to the inbox
Zenith Bank says its core systems and digital channels remain operational after unauthorised access exposed a limited set of customer information, including email addresses and phone numbers. That distinction matters, but it is not closure: contact data can turn ordinary messages…

EAAIF’s $50m share makes Liquid’s refinancing easier to audit

KKR’s $19.2bn Fund V gives it allocation power, not finished infrastructure
KKR has completed fundraising for its largest infrastructure fund, giving the manager a larger pool from which to buy and build critical assets across North America and Western Europe. The close matters because it concentrates investment discretion; it does not mean $19.2 billion…

MTN clears the shareholder gate in its IHS deal, but control has not transferred
IHS shareholders have authorised the merger that would allow MTN Group to buy the tower company shares it does not already own. The vote removes a material corporate hurdle; regulatory approvals, closing conditions, payment and the transfer to full ownership still stand between…

Microsoft’s ChainDrop disclosure turns package trust into a credential propagation map

Nashville turns data-centre opposition into authority to buy the land
Nashville’s council has approved an ordinance authorising the city to negotiate for, or condemn, a 23.49-acre parcel beside the zoo where DC BLOX plans a data centre. The vote gives Metro leverage and a route to control the site. It does not give Metro the deed, fix the…

NEC’s overseas transfer is a test of the boundary it has drawn
NEC has signed away a defined slice of its international equipment-resale and public-sector IT operations, but the strategic meaning lies less in the undisclosed price than in what must cross the boundary—and what NEC intends to keep controlling after the handover.
