The Solana network kept producing blocks on Aug. 12 when an infrastructure failure stopped validators representing nearly 29% of network stake from voting, according to a Solana Foundation account published Sept. 14.Independent monitoring found that the chain remained live, yet its performance deteriorated: more leader slots were skipped, transaction throughput fell sharply, and settlement finality was delayed.The disruption began at Teraswitch, which the Foundation described as Solana’s largest infrastructure provider. A Teraswitch postmortem traced the outage to a stale default route left on a Miami edge router, with Teraswitch’s provider traffic fully recovering 33 minutes after the first alarm.Routine transit-provider…

Nouvel épisode dans le feuilleton haletant sur la passation de pouvoir à la tête de la Banque centrale européenne (BCE). Selon une information de l’agence Reuters, la France serait prête à soutenir le Néerlandais Klaas Knot pour succéder à Christine Lagarde. Un soutien toutefois assorti d’une condition : que le poste d’économiste en chef de l’institution francfortoise revienne à un candidat Français.Depuis que le bal des prétendants à la succession de Christine Lagarde s’est ouvert il y a près d’un an, celui qui a présidé la banque centrale néerlandaise entre 2011 et 2025 s’est rapidement imposé comme l’un des favoris. Certes plutôt apparenté…

I have covered two bankruptcy stories before. Not from the usual angle of what happened and why; for each, I dug deeper into who could win from the wreckage. The Magellan Aerospace story led me to Howmet. The IKEA store closures pointed me to Target. This week’s Chapter 11 filing from Focus Factor maker Synergy CHC Corp. points me squarely to Reckitt Benckiser (RBGLY). Synergy CHC filed for bankruptcy on September 4, 2026, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Columbia, TheStreet reported.  Costco told the company back in July that it would be discontinuing Focus Factor products…
