 The plans for the social media giant of Elon Musk, who bought Twitter, are coming to light one by one. According to new information, Musk is considering a new candidate for Twitter's CEO.

As many of you will know, Elon Musk stated that he wanted to take Twitter, and kept the agenda busy for a while, and he finally got this wish in the past days. In fact, it was reported that Musk, the new owner of Twitter for $ 44 billion, sold billions of dollars worth of Tesla shares in order to raise this money.

Following these developments, new details came about Musk's acquisition of Twitter and his plans for the future of the platform. Musk stated that he has a 'name' in mind for the new CEO of the social media giant.

Musk considering a new name for Twitter's CEO post


Reuters reported that Musk told the banks that supported the $44 billion Twitter takeover that he had a new CEO candidate in mind for the platform. While it is not yet clear who this name is, it was stated that Parag Agrawal, who became the head of the company after the co-founder of the platform, Jack Dorsey, resigned from his CEO position in November, will continue to work until the sale of the platform is completed. However, Reuters noted, citing anonymous sources, that Musk will prevail in management and board payouts, as well as seeking new ways to monetize tweets.

Bloomberg, on the other hand, stated that Musk, during his talks with banks, emphasized that influencers and celebrities should be more active on Twitter. In a tweet he sent in early April, Musk was on my site, stating that most of the accounts with the most followers rarely post. On the other hand, Bloomberg said that Musk said that there may be some layoffs in his meeting with banks; however, he added that he did not mention any specific department or position.

With that said, Musk is charging websites that want to quote verified Twitter profiles or embed a tweet while talking to banks; It was stated that he suggested that in this way, money could be made through viral shares.

In addition, in the tweets he sent and deleted before, Musk suggested lowering the price of the Twitter Blue premium subscription service and stated that he wanted to reduce Twitter's dependence on advertising. Of course, it should be noted that these are only suggestions and guesses for now.

A giant glacier in Antarctica can raise sea level by half a meter!

  Author : Erdmncdr     No comments

 Cracks in the glaciers fuel fears. Possible separations could result in sea level rise of more than half a metre.


Twenty years ago, an ice field thought to weigh around 500 billion tons unexpectedly tore apart the Antarctic continent. As a result, thousands of icebergs formed in the Weddell Sea. According to the statement made by scientists, our world is now faced with a similar situation again.

Giant 'doomsday' glacier in Antarctica observed with concern

The 3,250 square kilometer Larsen B ice field in Antarctica was known to melt rapidly. But no one could have predicted that the 200-metre-thick giant would be completely disintegrated in just a month. Glacialists were shocked by the speed of the collapse as well as the scale. “This is surprising. It just fell apart. It fell like a wall and broke into hundreds of thousands of bricks.”


Ice scientists meeting in New Orleans this week warned of an even more alarming situation in a vast ice basin on the Antarctic peninsula. He explained that as a result of years of research by teams of British and American researchers, large cracks and fissures have been detected both above and below the Thwaites, one of the largest glaciers in the world.

Thwaites is said to be 30 times the size of Turkey. Therefore, the Larsen B glacier may only be as large as its icicle. It also contains enough water to raise sea levels around the world by more than half a meter in the event of a possible rupture. Satellite studies show that this glacier, called the doomsday, melted with a much greater acceleration compared to the 1990s, and even the entire glacier could collapse in five years or less.


Another reason why this situation is very worrying is that there are many large glaciers in Antarctica that retreat, thin and melt as the Southern Ocean warms. For most of these, Thwaites acts as a cork stopper. So if Thwaites dispersed, scientists believe others would accelerate, leading to the collapse of the entire ice sheet and a catastrophic global rise of several meters in global sea level.

There is no doubt that sea levels are rising rapidly. Between 2006 and 2015, the annual rate of increase increased from 1.4 mm to 3.6 mm. In other words, the melting rate is accelerating with an increase of more than two times. A few millimeters a year may not sound too alarming. But even the collapse of a small section of Thwaites will not only accelerate this process, but will likely increase the intensity of storm surges. In addition, it should not be forgotten that for cities established at sea level, an increase of more than half a meter in sea level may result in disaster.


The consensus of glaciologists was that it would take centuries of global warming for glaciers the size of Thwaites to break apart and collapse. But the loss of sea ice at the opposite end of the world in the Arctic has been rapid and unexpected. Especially as a result of the sudden loss of Larsen B, it is thought that it is possible for these events to occur faster than expected in Antarctica.

Ice losses in the Arctic hardly affect sea levels as glaciers already exist above the sea. But most of the glaciers on the Antarctic continent are on land. Therefore, each part of it that separates and melts directly has a negative effect on sea level rise. Of course, there is no definite data that Thwaites will suddenly disappear, as in Larsen B. But the concerns are certainly not unfounded.

Google will fire its unvaccinated employees!

 Hotly spoken all over the world, 'Should the vaccine be compulsory?' Now, Google's decision is added to the discussions.


The last 2 years have been very difficult all over the world. While the quarantine process came to a halt in production all over the world, the world breathed a little sigh of relief with the spread of the vaccine.

With COVID-19 and its variants starting to feel again, the debates that were shelved a while ago have also resurfaced. The latest information is that Google, one of the world's largest technology giants, will terminate its employees who refuse to be vaccinated.

Google restarts vaccine discussions

An internal memo obtained by CNBC shows that Goole is preparing to fire employees who do not comply with the company's vaccination policies.

The management level of Google stated that the personnel must upload the document proving their vaccination status to the system, and if they do not do this, they will be given unpaid leave for a while. If employees insist on not being vaccinated during this leave, their employment will be terminated.


As you know, Google has repeatedly delayed its decision to return employees to the office for a while. Especially with the increasing impact of COVID-19 variants, the issue of when employees will return to the office has again become uncertain. However, a Google official reached by the BBC did not deny the internal correspondence seized by CNBC and stated that they would do everything to protect the health of the employees.

Here's the Google manager's statement:

    “As we mentioned earlier, our vaccine requirements are one of the safest ways to keep our workforce safe and ensure the continuity of our services. We are committed to doing everything we can to assist our employees who may be vaccinated, and we will continue to stand behind our vaccination policies.”

-Google

According to information provided by CNBC, Google was required to report why they were not vaccinated, on religious or medical grounds, by December 3, at the latest, in a message it sent last month. In this sense, it is a matter of curiosity for now what kind of action has been taken regarding the employees who have not reported a reason for about 2 weeks.

 Famous billionaire Brian Armstrong made a surprising attempt. Successful business people aim to prolong human life.


The founder of Coinbase, billionaire businessman Brian Armstrong, entered the agenda with a different topic. The world of technology, which has recently begun to force human biology, will also have new trials with Armstrong. The successful name laid the foundations for his new venture called NewLimit.

Company founder Brian Armstrong is also partnering with Blake Byers. The first press release from NewLimit, founded by the duo, also appeared.

Brian Armstrong wants to extend human lifespan

The human physiology, which came to the agenda of Elon Musk, seems to lead to pushing the limits. While Musk wants to implant a chip in the brain, Brian Armstrong wants to extend our lifespan. Founded for epigenetic reprogramming, NewLimit is quite ambitious. The company announced that diseases can be easily treated.

NewLimit, which will benefit from machine learning technology, also aims to prevent aging. The information conveyed in the company's press release is as follows:

    " NewLimit will question the epigenetic factors of aging in depth. It will also start by developing products that can regenerate tissues to treat specific patient populations. Simply put, we want to find a way to regain the regenerative potential we had when we were young but somehow lost it. We hope that capital will not be a limiting factor for the next few years. "

NewLimit, which is predicted to be waiting for its investors now, will remain on the agenda for a long time with the race it is involved in. The company, which will be involved in the recent discussions to some extent, aims to make a name for itself in the issue of COVID-19. NewLimit, which has not yet entered into detailed work, is expected to take action with the investments.


The fact that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos recently embarked on a new anti-aging project also reveals the popularity of the situation. Projects in which cell regeneration is kept at the focal point are still in draft form. It looks like we will see technology giants competing in different fields in the future. Let's see if Brian Armstrong and Blake Byers can achieve the success they aim for with NewLimit. We'll wait and see.

TIME magazine named Elon Musk 'Person of the Year'!

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk was named Person of the Year by the US-based TIME magazine. Here are the details.. 




Elon Musk, one of the richest business people in the world, was awarded the title of Person of the Year by Time magazine. Continuing to be on the agenda with his statements and shares in almost every field from the automotive industry to the crypto money market, Musk once again proved his success with this title.

Elon Musk is the person of the year 2021

Although Elon Musk has recently attracted the reaction of investors with his shares in the crypto money market, he has been awarded the title of Person of the Year by TIME magazine.

The following statements were used in the statement made by TIME magazine:

" The richest man in the world does not own a house and has recently been selling his wealth. It launches satellites into orbit. It raises the stock market with a single finger movement. It uses electric and autonomous cars that do not use gasoline of its own production. Headstrong and unyielding, he dreams of Mars even as he tries to make the world a better place. He is a human being who aims to save our planet and find us a new planet to live on. SpaceX strived to unite the future of America with his company.

Auto company Tesla controls two-thirds of the multibillion-dollar electric vehicle market it leads and has a fantastic $1 trillion market cap. This makes Musk the richest person ever, at least on paper, with a net worth of over $250 billion. Robots dominate the cryptocurrency market and even Wall Street.

Musk has spent a lifetime challenging his haters, and now it looks like he's finally proven his worth. 2021 was the year of Elon Musk. "

Announcing it in its last issue every year since 1927 and rewarding the most influential person in the world with his actions that year, TIME announced Elon Musk with laudatory expressions. As it will be remembered, the person of the year 2020 went to the current US President Joe Biden.

Record fines from Italy to Amazon

  Author : Erdmncdr     No comments
16:54

The Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) recently announced that it has handed Amazon a record-breaking fine. Here are the details



In this period, when technology companies were under strict control, the penalties imposed began to rise to astonishing levels. While companies such as Apple, Google and Microsoft have been fined millions of dollars for many reasons, especially unfair competition, the Italian Competition Authority has recently decided to impose a record financial penalty on e-commerce giant Amazon.

Italian Competition Authority fines Amazon $1.28 billion

The Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) announced in a statement today morning that it had fined Amazon $ 1.28 billion for abusing its market dominance. Amazon, which received one of the largest fines in history, announced in a statement after the penalty that they absolutely did not accept the decision and that they would appeal as a company.

In the statement made by the institution, it was stated that unfair competition was realized in particular with the FBA service, which Amazon launched in 2006 to assist sellers in storage and logistics. At this point, it was claimed that the company forced third-party sellers to use its own logistics service so that they can have important advantages such as the Prime tag.


However, contrary to the claims, Amazon explained the reasons why sellers prefer the FBA service as affordable and efficient, stating that the service is optional and most third-party sellers do not use it. He also argued that the fines imposed on them were unfair and disproportionate.

In fact, this is not the first penalty from the institution to Amazon. As it will be remembered, the company was fined a total of $228 million with Apple as a result of the investigation it opened last week regarding the sale of Beats headphones. The main focus of this investigation was on unfair competition.


The main reason for the massive increase in global controls on companies like Amazon is the misinformation policies implemented. After the leaks that emerged in this direction, institutions such as the Italian Competition Authority also resort to deterrent sanctions due to various violations.

Not only in particular Amazon, but also companies such as Google's parent company Alphabet, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft are coming to the fore with the news of a new fine day by day.

 Texas governor Greg Abbott said he expects the state to become the home of semiconductor manufacturing in the future.


Samsung's US factory, which is expected to significantly reduce the chip shortage that affects every sector from automotive to technology production, will be established in Texas. The South Korean company will produce advanced chips for use in smartphones, 5G and artificial intelligence in its factory, which it will open with an investment of 17 billion dollars.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott described Samsung's move as "the largest foreign direct investment in the state's history." Abbott stated that Texas will be the home of semiconductor manufacturing in the future, in a new statement he made on a television show he attended.

“Texas leads semiconductor manufacturing”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said the US made a mistake by outsourcing the production of all basic needs, including semiconductors and urgently needed medical supplies. Adding that they should not be dependent on China or other countries, Greg Abbott added that Texas leads the semiconductor production in this context.

Greg Abbott, stating that some of the regulations and decisions made in the COVID-19 outbreak triggered the chip shortage, said, “[Chip] Not only on your iPhone or laptop; it also exists in all the vehicles you manufacture. “This is exactly why Texas is leading the way by becoming the home of semiconductors that exist in everything people use.”

Production at Samsung's Texas plant will begin in 2024.

According to the shared information, the construction of Samsung's Texas factory will begin next year. Production is expected to start in 2024. Considering New York, Arizona and Florida for the factory, the South Korean company chose Texas because of tax breaks and incentives, as well as the city's capacity to supply electricity to facilities in the event of a power outage.

Texas is starting to become a new stop not only for foreign investors, but also for companies headquartered in other states. Tesla, the electric car manufacturer owned by Elon Musk, has decided to move its headquarters in California to Texas.

In his statement on the subject, Musk said, “There are limits to how much we can grow in the Bay Area. Our factory in Austin is five minutes from the airport and only 15 minutes from downtown. In this way, we will be able to offer more opportunities for guests who want to visit our factory.” used the phrases.
