What stands out this morning – I noticed a split between governance and engineering. EU courts weighing whether IKEA trademark can be co-opted politically; WIPO keeps Tokyo-Yokohama at second globally for innovation clusters. Engineering: Honda unifying identity across 280,000 users and 1,600 apps; NVIDIA shipping CUDA Rust for native GPU programming; HTMX 4.0 moving from XHR to fetch with Streaming HTML; Apple Watch conversation-summary feature drawing privacy scrutiny. Security shows up in LAC card-game literacy kit for online-trouble response.
