I’m seeing double as I cruise down the highway in a 2024 Lincoln Nautilus, a hybrid-powered SUV under Ford’s luxury brand. I have Apple Maps running on the center touchscreen, projecting from my iPhone via Apple CarPlay. I’m also seeing the same map mirrored right above, taking up about a quarter of a massive display that spans the length of the dashboard.

Collibra, Reltio integration targets discovery, governance
Reltio and Collibra on Thursday unveiled a new integration aimed at enabling joint customers to more easily discover and govern data assets across domains within their organizations.
Using Reltio Integration for Collibra, which combines the key capabilities of the two vendors, customers can take advantage of Reltio’s data unification platform in concert with Collibra Data Intelligence Platform, including its data catalog.
Potential benefits, among others, include reducing the time it takes to find and operationalize reports, dashboards, models and other data assets, along with improved data governance and data lineage capabilities.
In addition, cost savings is a benefit. Users do have to pay for the integration, but Reltio Integration for Collibra is priced lower than what it would cost for a joint customer to configure an integration on their own, according to Venki Subramanian, Reltio’s senior vice president of product management. Specific pricing details were not disclosed.
Given the different capabilities of Reltio and Collibra, and the potential advantages of using their tools in concert with one another through a preconfigured integration, the partnership between the vendors is significant for joint customers, according to Doug Henschen, an analyst at Constellation Research.
Doug HenschenAnalyst, Constellation Research
“Reltio and Collibra are in adjacent spaces and fill different needs, so it’s a complementary pairing that should benefit joint customers,” he said. “The prebuilt integration between the two technologies will make it easier for customers to deploy and use the technologies together.”
Reltio is a master data management specialist based in Redwood Shores, Calif., whose AI-powered Connected Data Platform enables users to unify data to develop trusted data tools to inform decisions. The vendor’s June platform update included a generative AI assistant that enables conversational interactions with data, along with prebuilt, industry-specific master data management tools.
Collibra, meanwhile, is based in New York City and Brussels, and offers metadata data management capabilities, including a data catalog and data governance tools, through its Data Intelligence Platform. In April, the vendor’s platform update featured the general availability of Collibra AI Governance. The tool enables users to better manage AI models and applications, including generative AI, as their use expands beyond teams of data scientists.
New capabilities
At the enterprise level, where organizations collect billions of data points and develop thousands of data products such as reports, dashboards and models, relevant data is difficult — perhaps nearly impossible — to discover without implementing systems to organize it all.
And it is only becoming harder to discover without highly organized systems in place, given that the volume of data and its complexity continue to increase.
Master data management is one method of organizing data. In particular, it enables enterprises to make sure their data is uniform, there aren’t separate records for one data point or data set, and the terminology used to define data is consistent.
Catalogs are another way to organize data. Data catalogs are a means of indexing and governing data across systems and domains so that data does not get isolated and is easy to access, irrespective of where an employee works within an organization.
By combining Reltio’s master data management capabilities with Collibra’s data catalog and other data intelligence tools, the integration aims to enable faster and easier discovery of the trusted data needed to inform a given decision. Such data discovery is particularly relevant now, as enterprises aim to develop more AI models and applications — including generative AI — that require copious amounts of appropriate data to be accurate and reduce the likelihood of hallucinations.
“This partnership reflects a lot of synergies between the two primary disciplines of each company,” said Stewart Bond, an analyst at IDC.
In particular, combining Reltio’s master data management capabilities with Collibra’s data catalog and governance capabilities will be beneficial, he continued. Collibra does not have master data management tools, and Reltio does not offer a data catalog.
“It’s a win-win for both,” Bond said. “There are some overlaps in data quality capabilities, but the overlaps are more complementary than competitive.”
Motivation for the partnership and integration resulted from a shared goal of developing an open data ecosystem for Reltio and Collibra users. By doing so, Reltio and Collibra can provide users with a choice of different partners with which to use each vendor’s capabilities, according to Subramanian.
He noted that from Reltio’s perspective, it views Collibra as one of the top data catalog, metadata management and data governance providers. That makes it a logical partner for Reltio, which did not previously have a native integration with a data catalog vendor, Subramanian said.
However, toward Reltio’s goal of developing a broad ecosystem for data management and analysis, the partnership is not exclusive, and Collibra likely won’t be the last data catalog vendor with which Reltio partners.
“While Collibra is the first native integration we have with a data catalog, we are working on extending our integrations to other products in this space,” Subramanian said. “Reltio integrates with not only data catalogs, but also other data management capabilities like data lakes, data warehouses and data enrichment solutions.”
Specific goals of the partnership include the following:
- Cost savings by providing a prebuilt integration between Reltio and Collibra that would otherwise require joint customers to invest time and money to engineer on their own.
- Integration between the Collibra data catalog and Reltio’s master data management and data unification tools to make trusted data easily discoverable in the data catalog.
- Accelerated time to value by automatically synchronizing metadata from Reltio with metadata in Collibra.
- Improved data governance in Reltio through Collibra’s policy, privacy and security control settings.
- Automated data mapping to provide data lineage information that enables users to understand the sources and uses of data assets to engender trust.
- Self-service configuration that lets joint customers update their integration through Reltio’s low-code/no-code Integration Hub.
Cost savings and time to value are important, but they’re commonplace when vendors partner and develop integrations, according to Henschen.
What separates routine partnerships that largely represent marketing opportunities from more meaningful integrations is whether the partnerships go deeper and enable a tight-knit integration between two otherwise separate platforms, he continued.
Reltio Integration for Collibra represents a tight-knit integration, Henschen said.
Beyond touting improved time to value and lowering the cost associated with using the platforms together without a prebuilt integration, Henschen noted that one important potential benefit includes adding Collibra’s policy, privacy and security controls and automated data lineage capabilities to Reltio. Another significant benefit is using the Reltio Integration Hub to keep integrations between the vendors current.
“It sounds like there’s some substance to this partnership,” he said.
Next steps
With Reltio Integration for Collibra now available to joint customers, one of Reltio’s primary product development goals is to improve its data unification capabilities through AI and automation, according to Subramanian. In addition, the vendor plans on adding new prepackaged, industry-specific tools to simplify master data management and add more integrations to broaden its ecosystem.
Henschen noted that Reltio’s focus on AI and automation is appropriate. Collibra, as evidenced by its most recent platform update, is similarly adding AI capabilities.
But while both are adding AI tools to simplify using their platform, Reltio and Collibra each also has an opportunity to help customers more easily develop their own AI models and applications, he said. Reltio could assist users by improving its data integration capabilities, while Collibra could help its users with more automation, according to Henschen.
“The [data integration] market is consolidating, and the bar is being raised with the infusion of GenAI technologies that depend on data, so I’d like to see Reltio develop or partner to gain deeper data integration capabilities,” Henschen said. “GenAI is also making its mark on data intelligence platforms, so I’d like to see more from Collibra on how catalog and policy work can be automated.”

She sat down during the COVID lockdown and started coding — now she’s taking on Bolt
Sitting in Athens during the first COVID-19 lockdown, entrepreneur Rania Lamprou watched online e-commerce exploding because of social distancing. But merchants still struggled with low conversion rates because their checkout processes were complicated, and they had to integrate multiple providers for payments, shipping, and loyalty programs.
“I knew there had to be a better way to reduce friction for both merchants and customers,” Lamprou told TechCrunch. So, she thought, why not turn the checkout process into a “checkout-as-a-service” platform that streamlined it for both merchants and shoppers? She started coding in Python.
But, she wasn’t alone. Tech giants Shop Pay and Bolt were in the same space, but were focusing on the U.S. market. Europe was less of a focus. Shop Pay, for example, had started back in 2014 and has now raised a total of $982.1 million. So what was Lamprou going to do with her tiny startup, which she’d named Simpler?
She brought on two friends she’d known from university, Alex Kyriakopoulos and Spyros Mandekis, started building the team, and they raised their first $1 million pre-seed round.
Today, Simpler has over 250 merchants, more than half-a-million registered shoppers, and expects to increase its revenue by 10 times by the end of 2025, said Lamprou. It recently also raised €9 million (about $10 million) in a pre-Series A round to double down in the U.K., Italy and Spain. Participating in the round were VentureFriends, MMC Ventures and Lamda Development.
“Yes, Bolt is a big, massive company, but they are focused on the U.S., mostly with handling fraud problems, like chargebacks. That is a very big problem in the U.S., but it’s not so much in Europe,” she said.
In Europe, she said, there are different issues: “We have to localize and add all these different solutions, different providers. Every country has different needs, customer preferences, different payment providers, loyalty coupons, etc.”
That’s important because European e-commerce sales increased 66% from 2019 to 2021. Despite a temporary decline, the market is expected to keep growing, potentially reaching $955 billion by 2028.
The solution turned out to be elegant.
On Simpler, merchants can outsource payments, shipping and loyalty programs into one system, which, the company says, boosts conversions and reduces complexity. For shoppers, it means a one-click buying experience across multiple stores and channels.
“We’re seeing strong demand from both SMEs and enterprise-level businesses,” she said.
While Shop Pay is exclusive to Shopify, Simpler is designed for all platforms. And, unlike Bolt, which focuses heavily on the U.S. market, Simpler is targeting the U.K. and Europe.
“We’ve built a robust end-to-end solution with three orders of magnitude less funding than Bolt,” she added.

Ford’s new Digital Experience brings Android and Apple into balance
That screen is the 48-inch Panoramic Display, which runs on Android Automotive OS, Google’s native vehicle platform (not to be confused with the phone projecting Android Auto). It merges what’s actually two pieces of curved glass in a mesmerizing and cinematic fashion, combining the instrument cluster with infotainment and some widgets. In the Nautilus, the whole system is called the “Lincoln Digital Experience.”
But like most modern cars, former physical controls are being sucked into the digital world of the screen. To adjust airflow, I have to do the thing that many drivers dread doing: switching out of CarPlay navigation to the car’s native interface. But to my delight, as the Lincoln’s onscreen draggable digital airflow adjustment controls take over the 11.1-inch central display, Apple Maps continues to run on the Panoramic Display above.
To my delight, Apple Maps continues to run on the Panoramic Display
I start to get it. Most cars take an either-or approach with native-vs-projected operating systems. A few vehicles, like the Polestar 2, can also project Apple Maps to its instrument cluster screen. But the Lincoln’s larger, uncrowded pano display elevates the experience to the next level.
Some automakers today are in a tug of war with Apple and Google because drivers are in love with their phones and prefer to use their mobile device’s interface over the car’s factory offering. Some manufacturers have made the controversial decision to either discontinue phone projection (GM) or never add it in the first place (Rivian and Tesla). But Ford is staking out a different position: it thinks it can do both.
And to the company’s credit, I think it works. Ford is embracing customer choice, and the new Nautilus provides what I think is the best balance of phone mirroring and built-in software that we’ve seen yet.
Three years in the making
Ford’s been working on its new infotainment system for a few years now, in a search for the optimal software provider that has taken the company from Microsoft to Blackberry — and now to Google. Ford and Google struck a six-year deal in 2021 to bring Android Automotive inside “millions” of vehicles, and the Lincoln Nautilus is the first to feature the fruits of that deal.
The partnership meant Ford would use Google as its cloud provider for its connected vehicle services, promising features like Google Assistant voice control to change climate settings, automotive-approved Android apps, and over-the-air software updates.
Android gives Ford “a chance to really have a stable platform”
In an interview on Decoder, Ford CEO Jim Farley said he’d only want his teams working on navigation software if it were better than the one on smartphones. “An Android or a Google Automotive Services gives us a chance to really have a stable platform,” Farley said.
Ford is now rolling out its new Android-based “Digital Experience” across its vehicle lineup. The company’s strategy is to go big with screens in the luxury segment and pare things back in vehicles like the 2025 Explorer — while also balancing its still-supported but comparatively slow QNX-based Sync 4 system, like in the 2024 Maverick.
The computer on wheels is a smartphone
Overall, Lincoln’s Digital Experience has me believing that automakers are finally able to deliver competent and intuitive infotainment. That said, I’m still connecting my iPhone. After all, that’s kind of the point.
I get a seamless transition from Google Maps on both the center and pano screens to Apple Maps via CarPlay. I enter and exit the vehicle multiple times, and most of the time, everything immediately connects, save for some limited blacked-out center screen delays, especially when connected wirelessly. I have similar success with my Google Pixel 8 Pro projecting to the Nautilus via Android Auto. It’s kind of funny seeing Google Maps and Assistant replacing, well, Google Maps and Assistant.
My expectations are usually low with in-car software. But the Nautilus feels more like a capable, high-end Android device — and it even has Google Play Store apps. The usual suspects like Spotify and YouTube were already preinstalled, and I try a game called Asphalt Nitro 2, which performs well on the touchscreen as I swipe an autopiloting racecar in different directions. (I didn’t try playing with a Bluetooth game controller, but it’s supported.)
Games and streaming video apps only work while parked, and in the Nautilus, it works on the center touchscreen, but not on the pano display. Lincoln is including a new “pano mode” in the 2025 Navigator where games and video can work on either side of the big screen, but this function isn’t available in the Nautilus. And not all Google Play Store apps are there; I can’t download Netflix during my testing, but Amazon’s Prime Video is available, and I watched some Shah Rukh Khan Bollywood classics. (I forgot to log out, so enjoy the free movies, Lincoln.)
I played some music from Sirius XM radio and from my phone, and the 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D audio system sounds great. The music widget on the right of the pano display displays album art, and you can control the music with a nifty touchpad on the steering wheel (although, sometimes, your thumb can slip and select the wrong item on the onscreen grid, kind of like swiping on an Apple TV remote).
There’s also Google Assistant, which can accept voice commands to change car settings like in-cabin temperature but couldn’t accept simple navigation requests for some reason. Lincoln communications manager Anika Salceda-Wycoco later tells me that it was a mistake on their part because they used the same Google account across multiple cars in the fleet, and it disabled the function.
Tesla lets you type while driving but Ford doesn’t
Regardless, voice would be your only option to change destinations on the move, as the onscreen keyboard does not pop up unless you’re parked. Annoyed, I pulled over and manually typed the address to my second destination on this trip. I’ve gotten used to my Tesla Model 3’s interface, where my wife could type the address on the screen for me while in motion — but that’s not possible in the Nautilus. Siri worked fine in CarPlay mode, but I can’t ask it to do things like turn on my AC seats.
2024 tech most of the time
But not all is chummy between the Lincoln and the smartphone interfaces. They do sometimes abruptly snatch each other onscreen. For instance, calling up Google Assistant while CarPlay is running creates an ugly transition to the built-in Lincoln interface. Same for when you’re in the Lincoln interface and you’re suddenly back in CarPlay when a text message comes. The upside is I have little issue wirelessly switching from CarPlay to Android Auto. A quick jump into Bluetooth settings lets me switch between my iPhone 13 Mini and Pixel 8 Pro without hassle, which has not been my experience in other vehicles.
Coming from Tesla’s Autopilot, which flashes a blue screen when you’re not paying attention, activating BlueCruise was a little startling. After I swiped my thumb on the steering wheel’s left touchpad and selected the corresponding box for BlueCruise on the onscreen grid, the Lincoln’s instrument cluster went all blue — sharply out of sync with the tranquil theme elsewhere on the pano display.
Lincoln’s menus on the touchscreen, however, work like a breeze, with gorgeous animations running in Epic’s Unreal Engine and a powerful processor with capabilities that clearly match some gaming Android phones.
Even with all the processing power, Lincoln’s not doing too much. You’re not getting a super detailed interactive 3D model of the Nautilus you can spin around like Tesla does with its Cybertruck or colorful illustrations like inside a Rivian. But you get tasteful and swift transitions, a cool 3D whirlwind animation of passenger seats showing who hasn’t buckled up, and a futuristic PS5 aura-looking theme on the pano display.
It surprises me that the huge pano display isn’t too information-dense, and I never feel overwhelmed or annoyed with the placement of things like the fuel bar, speedometer, transmission mode, or remaining mileage (which, by the way, is often quite a lot — the Nautilus went almost 500 miles for me on one tank). And Lincoln put the display high enough that I find it less distracting than some heads-up displays I’ve seen. For some reason, though, when you accelerate, a wavy mana-looking bar increases horizontally, which almost feels like a challenge to go faster.
Beyond the screen
The real reason anyone should look at the Nautilus is the amazing pano display. The future of cars is certainly all in the software, and it feels like Ford has a good thing going, striking the best balance yet between in-car infotainment and the popular phone-based systems that most people prefer. I was pretty much sold as soon as I opened the door and it introduced me to a full Nautilus intro animation on the pano display, with waves animating to the sides and timely light streaks on the door.
The screens work well enough, but not everyone wants them. Surveys have shown growing customer dissatisfaction with in-car tech, especially touchscreen software. People are overwhelmed, and Ford’s response seems to be to add more screens, which is not a guarantee for success. I have personally owned a 2014 Lincoln MKZ hybrid and consider myself tech-savvy. Longtime Lincoln fans who appreciate more physical controls (or at least dedicated touch buttons) on previous generation models, however, could find the digital experience too overwhelming for their taste.
But if they’re not, and Lincoln customers go gaga over the new screens, Ford could have stumbled on the right formula to make it, Apple, and Google all equal winners in the race to control the in-car experience.

Google breakthrough paves way for large-scale quantum computers
If a small quantum computer makes a small number of errors, will a large quantum computer make even more errors, making it completely useless? No, say researchers at Google who have made a key breakthrough in error correction for quantum devices, setting out a theoretical path to creating machines that are useful and practical.
Ordinary computers store data as bits that are either a 0 or 1, but errors can cause the bit to “flip” to the wrong value, which is why devices from smartphones to supercomputers have built-in error correction.…

NYT Strands today: hints, spangram and answers for Sunday, September 22
Strands is a brand new daily puzzle from the New York Times. A trickier take on the classic word search, you’ll need a keen eye to solve this puzzle.
Like Wordle, Connections, and the Mini Crossword, Strands can be a bit difficult to solve some days. There’s no shame in needing a little help from time to time. If you’re stuck and need to know the answers to today’s Strands puzzle, check out the solved puzzle below.
How to play Strands
You start every Strands puzzle with the goal of finding the “theme words” hidden in the grid of letters. Manipulate letters by dragging or tapping to craft words; double-tap the final letter to confirm. If you find the correct word, the letters will be highlighted blue and will no longer be selectable.
If you find a word that isn’t a theme word, it still helps! For every three non-theme words you find that are at least four letters long, you’ll get a hint — the letters of one of the theme words will be revealed and you’ll just have to unscramble it.
Every single letter on the grid is used to spell out the theme words and there is no overlap. Every letter will be used once, and only once.
Each puzzle contains one “spangram,” a special theme word (or words) that describe the puzzle’s theme and touches two opposite sides of the board. When you find the spangram, it will be highlighted yellow.
The goal should be to complete the puzzle quickly without using too many hints.

Microsoft wants to reactivate the Three Mile Island nuclear plant
Artificial intelligence is improving everyone’s lives through products and services. However, AI’s operation also consumes a lot of energy, which can be especially problematic if there are environmental goals to meet. Now, Microsoft will turn to the Three Mile Island nuclear plant to supply itself with all the energy needed in the AI era.
The Three Mile Island nuclear plant closed five years ago for economic reasons. However, Microsoft is interested in reactivating it as part of an exclusive energy supply contract for the next 20 years. Constellation, the company behind the nuclear plant, will invest around $1.6 billion in its reactivation to put it at the service of the Redmond giant.
The Three Mile Island nuclear plant could provide all its energy to Microsoft in the AI era
Some will remember the name of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant, which was the site of a partial meltdown in 1979. The plant continued to operate normally after the situation was resolved. Its recent shutdown was not related to any similar incident. This will be the first time that a nuclear plant offers 100% of its capacity to a single customer. It probably won’t come cheap for Microsoft, but it may be necessary to stay competitive in today’s tech industry.
It’s noteworthy that, despite the general fear of incidents that could end in disasters, nuclear energy is extremely clean. Microsoft is one of those companies that has set its own environmental goals. However, its current focus on the development of energy-hungry AI platforms and services may complicate the situation. Turning to nuclear energy may be an ideal solution. Neither party has confirmed the investment’s intended use for AI development. However, it is quite likely that a lot of the energy will be allocated to it.
There are still hurdles to overcome
That said, Constellation still has hurdles to overcome before reactivating the nuclear plant. The process will have to go through safety reviews by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The company could also undergo a review of the tax breaks it has previously obtained. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission review appears to be the most difficult hurdle, as it has never authorized the reactivation of a nuclear plant before.
If Constellation and Microsoft succeed in restarting the plant, it will bring 600 new jobs to Pennsylvania. Additionally, the region will receive “philanthropic donations” totaling $200,000 annually for the next five years.
