In Q2, there were thirteen $1B US venture-backed startup exits, either through acquisition or IPO, the most exits since the 2021 market peak (Joanna Glasner/Crunchbase News)

Crunchbase Data: Q2 Brought The Most Billion-Dollar Startup Exits Since 2021
Startup exits valued at $1 billion or more are now more numerous than at any point since the 2021 market peak, Crunchbase data shows. The trend we’re seeing for the second quarter of 2026 includes both the largest venture-backed exit of all time and a bevy of other comparatively tinier but still sizable startup exits through acquisition or IPO.

Improved Approximation Guarantees for Groupwise Maximin Share Fairness
Georgios Amanatidis, Anna Korfiati, Evangelos Markakis, Christodoulos Santorinaios
https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.04731 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.04731 https://arxiv.org/html/2606.04731
arXiv:2606.04731v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study the problem of fairly allocating a set of indivisible goods to a set of $n$ agents with additive valuation functions. We focus on the very demanding notion of \textit{groupwise maximin share fairness} (GMMS), which requires that each agent $i$ receives value comparable to their maximin share, where the latter is computed \textit{with respect to any subset of agents that contains $i$}. We show that it is possible to compute $(\phi-1)$-approximate GMMS allocations in polynomial time, where $\phi \approx 1.618$ is the golden ratio). This improves on the previously known guarantee of $4/7$ of Chaudhury et al. [SICOMP; 2021] and Amanatidis et al. [TCS; 2020]. We propose a simple algorithm that maintains the same main properties as the Draft-and-Eliminate algorithm of Amanatidis et al. [TCS, 2020] and we improve on the approximation guarantee analysis by carefully bounding the relevant value within any subinstance induced by the restriction of our allocation to a subset of agents. Our analysis is asymptotically tight for algorithms that share these properties and has the additional benefit of giving improved guarantees for restricted settings; in particular, when the agents agree on the top $n$ goods or when the number of agents is small. To illustrate the challenges of going beyond the guarantees of our algorithm, we also present a variant with an improved approximation of $(\sqrt{10}-1)/3 \approx 0.72$ for the case of three agents. To achieve this improvement we partially characterize the maximin share guarantees of short picking sequences for a small number of goods.

The US OMB recently published a new logging reference architecture M-26-14 replacing 2021's M-21-31.
I'm not familiar enough with CISA and the bureaucracy to confidently provide a useful analysis, but the two different memorandums are noticeably different that I'm sure someone with more familiarity could say something interesting about the potential consequences, positive or negative.

What SRE is not
We used to have a difficulty in our community - thankfully less prevalent now - with rootless questions of identity. Of course, it's not wrong to ask who we are, what we're here for, and what should we be doing: every profession benefits from regular reflection. But too much of

Maine's 'turtle tunnels' help save endangered reptiles from 'highway of death'
Installed in 2021, local officials now say that there has been a “substantial reduction” in casualties for the endangered species.
