असल नेता नभएसम्म देश सुध्रिदैन : बालेन शाह
ओज गुमाएका शासनकर्ता शासनकर्ताहरू स्खलित हुँदै गए भने प्रजातान्त्रिक व्यवस्था असाध्य रोगलाई थेग्न नसकेर आफैं मृत्युशय्यामा पुग्छ । त्यसपछि शासक र शासनकर्ताबीचको भिन्नता मेटिन्छ र कुनै पनि षड्यन्त्रकारी खलपात्रलाई ‘प्रजातन्त्रको हत्यारा’ भएको दोष बोक्नुपर्ने परिस्थिति रहँदैन । ......... एल्युमिनियमका सस्ता भाँडाहरूले बजार पिट्नुअगाडि सामान्यजनको जाउलो माटाको कसौँडीमा पकाउने गरिन्थ्यो । चर्केको भाँडो चुलोमा चढाउन मिल्दैन भने मान्यतालाई मिश्रित धातुका बलिया वर्तनहरूले असान्दर्भिक तुल्याइदिएका छन् । तर आर्थिक, सामाजिक, सांस्कृतिक, कूटनीतिक एवं राजनीतिक समस्याहरू दन्किएर बलिरहेको आगोमा चढाइएको प्रधानमन्त्री पदलाई लोककल्याणकारी परिकार तयार गर्ने विशाल पात्रसँग लक्षणात्मक तुलना गर्ने हो भने पदासीन प्रधानमन्त्री शेरबहादुर देउवा कम्तीमा चार ठाउँमा चिरा परेका अनुपयोगी हाँडीजस्ता लाग्न सक्छन् । ......... भूमिहीनहरूको आन्दोलनले नेपालमा किसानको हकहितलाई जहिले पनि ओझेलमा पार्ने गरेको छ । सिँचाइ पुगेको छैन, चाहिएको बखत बीउबिजन पाइँदैन, रासायनिक मल पाउनु व्यक्तिगत प्रयत्न नभएर प्रारब्धको कुरा हुन पुगेको छ । लबेदा–सुरुवालमा सजिएका ‘किसान नेता’ गमलामा धान रोपेर मानो पकाउँछन् । तर, अहँ, राष्ट्रवादको पट्यारलाग्दो नाराबाहेक कतैबाट कुनै आवाज सुनिँदैन ।
How Will Twitter Change? there are a number of money-making features that Twitter hasn’t implemented over the years, such as the edit button that Musk has clamored for or creative reels that would make it more competitive with Instagram and TikTok. ........ It’s a “town square” where ordinary citizens can discuss topics of the day, where companies introduce new products and get consumer feedback, where celebrities talk to their fans, and where public officials talk directly to their constituents. ......... They don’t want to choke free speech with too many prohibitions, yet they realize that controlling misinformation and disinformation is a topline responsibility. ......... he said Twitter should not regulate free speech beyond the laws of the countries it operates in. ......... SEC filings reveal that Musk will borrow about $13 billion and spend $21 billion of his own money to buy Twitter. ......... The borrowing will result in both Musk and Twitter carrying significant debt ....... Musk would be the “most indebted CEO in America” if the deal is completed ......... “The best Twitter from a business perspective looks very different from the Twitter that’s created for public discourse.”
Most Americans ever quit in March Four-and-a-half million Americans quit their jobs in March, as employers posted 11.5 million openings — both the highest levels since records began almost a quarter-century ago. Tightness in the labor market has resulted in there being nearly two open jobs for every unemployed worker, as companies struggle to find enough employees to meet rebounding demand during the pandemic recovery. The pressure on wages, as employees quit for better jobs or pay elsewhere, is reinforcing expectations the central bank will lift borrowing costs by half a percentage point on Wednesday.
The Countdown Memorandum Doubling down on the future of American industry ....... While capital is increasingly a commodity, talent is certainly not. The right engineer can have an asymmetric effect on a company’s trajectory....... It is therefore impossible to build a highly successful hard tech business without possessing the ability to recruit the best engineers, and this is no easy task. ..... Early-stage engineers often graduate from school with a nebulous idea of the range of career options available to them. ....... it’s critical for founders to reason from foundational truths and values rather than from analogies or hearsay. ....... through intensive conversations with our advisory network of operators, decision-makers, and engineers across various hard tech industries. ...... holding strong first principles hinges on a delicate balance between skepticism about the present and optimism for the future ...... industry outsiders (as opposed to deeply entrenched domain experts) may develop the most valuable perspectives when attempting to disrupt an antiquated market. ........ The most successful founders, in every sense of the word, relentlessly paint a vision of a brighter future and build with that vision in mind. ....... Engineers will work more fervently and passionately for a future they believe is meaningful.
Meet Europe’s largest crypto miner Northern Data can mine more than €20m worth of cryptocurrency per month — and it’s almost entirely run on renewable energy ....... Six months ago, Northern Data made a big move. It spent €365m buying a company called Decentric, acquiring tens of thousands of high-powered servers that could be used to “mine” millions of euros worth of cryptocurrencies. The deal propelled the little-known German company into a whole new league, in a stroke making it Europe’s largest crypto miner. ......... In an industry dominated by big US miners such as Core Scientific, Marathon and Riot, suddenly there was a European force on the scene. ....... Northern Data now has 390 petaflops and 13 terahashes (for the uninitiated, that means 13 trillion operations a second) of processing power at its sites in Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany — powered almost entirely by renewable energy (a rare thing in this sector). ........ Northern Data can mine around 5,254 ether and 236 bitcoin per month — which have a combined value of more than €20m (at today’s prices at least). ........ The cost of the hardware is significant. The power consumption is epic. And the business of finding land with a power source big enough for both the processing and for cooling the machines is tough. ....... for those that get it right, and are believers that the crypto craze will continue, it feels like the California gold rush: a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to extract an enormous amount of value from essentially nothing. .......... Crypto now accounts for 0.6% of the world’s total energy consumption and burns more electricity annually than Norway ........ Last year China banned crypto mining and other countries have followed suit. In January, the top EU financial regulator renewed calls for a bloc-wide “ban” on the main form of crypto mining (known as “proof of work”). .......... Northern Data has a long-term plan to be more than a miner, using the money from crypto mining to build the infrastructure for a significant cloud computing operation — entering a much more stable space dominated by Amazon, Microsoft and Google. ....... There are more and more use cases for crypto every day — for example in remittances and in digital art — and it feels like Northern Data is one of those at the forefront of a new financial world. ........... “Our hardware can be used for artificial intelligence, rendering media and self-driving cars — as well as scientific and engineering endeavours… this is all a huge growth area.”

Ukraine Is Now America’s War, Too The U.S. is leading a new coalition of “nations of good will” as the goal expands from supporting Ukraine to weakening Russia and outlasting Putin. ......... in just over nine weeks, the conflict has rapidly evolved into a full proxy war with Russia, with global ramifications. ......... when dictators do not pay the price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and engage in more aggression,” the President told reporters on Thursday. “They keep moving. And the costs, the threats to America and the world, keep rising.” ...... the new aid is about half the size of the entire Russian defense budget—and also more than half of the U.S. State Department’s annual budget. ........ He also brokered a five-thousand-word agreement with the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, to form a de-facto alliance of authoritarian regimes. They jointly opposed nato enlargement. ........ “We want to see Russia weakened to the degree it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine,” Austin told reporters, near the border in Poland. Blinken said, “We don’t know how the rest of this war will unfold, but we do know that a sovereign, independent Ukraine will be around a lot longer than Vladimir Putin is on the scene.” ....... The shift may have been inevitable, given the barbarism of the war, which has claimed thousands of civilian lives, and Russia’s challenge to the conventions and obligations of modern statecraft. “If this is left to stand, if there is no answer to this aggression, if Russia gets away with this cost-free, then so goes the so-called international order” ......... the stunning underperformance of the Russian military, the largest in Europe ...... Guterres’s trip to Kyiv followed talks with Putin in Moscow. ....... “The war is an absurdity in the twenty-first century,” he said. “The war is evil.” ......... On April 22nd, a senior Russian military commander announced that Moscow sought “full control” over eastern and southern Ukraine in part to open the way to neighboring Moldova, a tiny, landlocked country that is supportive of the European Union but dependent on Russian energy. ......... roughly two-thirds of Americans believe that the U.S. has a “moral responsibility” to do more to stop the killing of civilians in Ukraine ........... On Wednesday, he warned that he could launch a “lightning-fast” response to any nation that intervened to thwart or threaten Russia. “We have all the instruments for this, such that no one can boast of,” he said, in an apparent reference to Moscow’s nuclear and missile arsenal. “We’re going to use them if we have to.”
5th Wave? New York COVID Hospitalizations Top 2,000, Nearly Tripling in a Month In the five boroughs, health officials upped the COVID alert level to medium earlier this week for the first time since Mayor Eric Adams debuted the new system as part of his pandemic approach ....... 2,119 New Yorkers were hospitalized with COVID across the state's 10 regions, a 153% increase since April 3 alone though still well below the nearly 13,000 admitted during the variant's January surge peak. ..... The share of COVID patients hospitalized in Central New York, which was driving New York's COVID uptick a few weeks ago, is 62.4%, much higher than the state average ....... a higher-than-national-average prevalence of the omicron subvariants BA.2.12.1 and BA.2.12......... is 25% more contagious than the "inherently more transmissible" omicron BA.2 subvariant that came before it ...... the high end of the CDC's estimate for BA.2.12.1's national prevalence is 45%, with BA.2 still believed to be driving the majority of cases across America ....... an indoor face mask mandate for all people regardless of vaccination could return.
Elon Musk expected to serve as temporary Twitter CEO after deal closes Musk handpicked the investors. Commitments range from $1 billion from Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison to $5 million from Honeycomb Asset Management, which invested in SpaceX. Faber added that Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey may back it ........ Trump was permanently suspended from Twitter last year. ....... Shares of Twitter climbed as much as 3% on Thursday morning. Tesla’s stock slid more than 6%.

Apple, Google, and Microsoft will soon implement passwordless sign-in on all major platforms The tech giants want to roll out FIDO passkey technology in the coming year ........ A passwordless login process will let users choose their phones as the main authentication device for apps, websites, and other digital services ....... Unlocking the phone with whatever is set as the default action — entering a PIN, drawing a pattern, or using fingerprint unlock — will then be enough to sign in to web services without the need to ever enter a password, made possible through the use of a unique cryptographic token called a passkey that is shared between the phone and the website. ........ users can sign-in on a Google Chrome browser that’s running on Microsoft Windows—using a passkey on an Apple device.” ....... an end-to-end passwordless experience with phishing-resistant security
Omicron Subvariant BA.2.12.1 Likely To Become Dominant U.S. COVID Strain The highly contagious coronavirus variant made up 36.5% of total U.S. cases last week, up from 26.6% the week before. ...... A coronavirus subvariant called omicron BA.2.12.1, first spotted in upstate New York, is likely to become the dominant strain in the United States in the coming week ...... Omicron subvariants have been growing “in part because they have become more difficult for our immune system to ‘see’” ........ BA.12.2.1 appears to spread even more easily than the earlier highly contagious omicron strains, but vaccines seem to hold up well, preventing severe illness ...... recommends that passengers age 2 or older continue to mask up on public transportation, including airplanes. ......

Israeli researchers warn of new international COVID wave, driven by Delta comeback Omicron didn’t wipe out the previous variant, which is super-resilient and could reemerge with a vengeance, according to peer-reviewed study based on cutting-edge sewage monitoring ........ based on cutting-edge Israeli monitoring of sewage, which reveals not only the prevalence of coronavirus cases, but also their variant. ........ Omicron and its subvariants are likely to disappear soon, but Delta has shown such strong resilience that it could well reemerge .......... Delta still poses a larger threat than widely assumed. Delta could reemerge in its existing form, or could spread in the form of a new subvariant ...... “The pandemic isn’t over, and this great piece of research provides clear findings that emphasize this and help us to understand the situation” ........ Omicron is in demise, but Delta has survived and is positioned to possibly reemerge.” ...... Delta is expected to continue to circulate largely undetected — what they call cryptic circulation — until it causes a wave. ....... cryptic circulation may result in the reemergence of a Delta morbidity wave or in the possible generation of a new threatening variant.”
