Two days. That’s all that’s left to lock in your place — with your partner, co-founder, or colleague — at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026. Right now, you can buy one pass and get 50% off a second of the same ticket type, but that offer ends May 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT. After that, prices go up, and the opportunity to show up with more perspective, more context, and more clarity disappears with it. At this stage, the advantage comes down to how quickly you leave with a clear sense of what to do next, which is why securing your pass now and deciding who to bring with you matters more than waiting.

Aurora Innovation will start hauling loads in driverless trucks for distribution giant McLane, the latest company to adopt the startup’s autonomous vehicle technology following a multi-year pilot program. Under the commercial agreement announced Wednesday, trucks outfitted with Aurora’s self-driving system will be used to transport goods between Dallas and Houston. These trucks will operate autonomously and will not have a human safety driver on board who can take over. However, Aurora will still have what it describes as a “human observer” sitting in the cab — who does not operate the vehicle — per an agreement it has with truck…

Creamy garlic butter chicken pasta made in one pan with parmesan, juicy chicken and a silky garlic-butter-cream sauce. A cosy, quick dinner (only 25 minutes to prep and cook!) that’s always a hit. Nicky’s Notes Do you ever look at a recipe and double the amount of garlic in it? I do it all the time! But this recipe has 6 FAT cloves of garlic, and I think that’s the perfect amount! We love this one-pan recipe – it’s so good on a busy weeknight with a side of garlic bread and a nice crisp salad. Apart from being cosy,…

When companies are looking for opinions or advice on a project, they tend to go to LinkedIn or use expert networks such as GLG, Third Bridge, or AlphaSights. But they often don’t find quality inputs, despite their searches. Today, these sites ask experts to fill in a form based on their job title, which is then used to match them with companies in need of their help. London-based Ethos thinks that AI can improve both sides of this experience. For experts, it offers voice-powered onboarding to ask a broader set of questions and get more data about their knowledge in…

I’ve used them myself, especially on days when I’m trying to hit my protein target or when I’ve…
