Nearly 6,000 Tesla vehicles are being recalled due to loose brake bolts, which can reduce tire pressure and lead to accidents.

Owners of several thousand Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles will need to work with a Tesla Service center following the announcement of a new recall. According to documents published with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last week, Tesla has recalled 5,947 electric sedans and SUVs due to the potential for loose brake calipers. These vehicles are delivered between 2019 and 2021, likely without the brake caliper bolts to the proper specs. Over time, loose bolts can cause the brake calipers to detach and come into contact with the wheel. If this happens, the tire can lose pressure, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners can hear unusual noises coming from their car if parts come apart and come into contact with the wheels. Tesla will inspect each affected vehicle and a technician will make sure the bolts are properly tightened. If the car owner's car is missing bolts, the technician will add and re-screw the screws for free. If the inspection reveals damage, the company claims to tow the vehicle to the nearest facility for repair. The automaker did not say when it plans to notify owners of the recall, but expects an announcement in the next few weeks to address this potential issue.

In 2020, Tesla delivered 442,511 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. The company said no accidents or injuries were reported because of bolt problems.

Meanwhile in the Chinese market, many accidents involving Tesla vehicles are reported by users as having a fault with the car's brake system. Some users have even installed cameras to prove quality problems in cars are due to manufacturer's fault. And yet, some shopping centers in China have refused to allow Tesla cars to park because this model often has brake problems.

When you use electricity to run your car, it's environmentally friendly. When you use electricity to run the most efficient financial networks in the world, it's an environmental concern," Changpeng Zhao said. write on Twitter.

Changpeng Zhao, CEO of cryptocurrency exchange platform Binance, took to Twitter to take a personal stance regarding recent criticisms of digital currency's energy use. And one of them seems to refer to Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

"When you use electricity to run cars, it's environmentally friendly. When you use electricity to run the most efficient financial networks in the world, it's an environmental concern , " he said. Zhao tweeted.

The statement seems to allude to the recent announcement from Elon Musk that Tesla will no longer accept bitcoin payments to buy its electric cars, which is said to have sparked a wave of crypto sell-offs. CZ's tweet can be temporarily understood that the same systems use electricity, but there is no reason that the electricity used for new energy vehicles has the right to consider itself "cleaner" than the electricity used to operate the cryptocurrency network number. Tesla has suspended car purchases with Bitcoin," a statement from Elon Musk's Twitter account not long ago. “We are concerned about the rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels to mine and trade bitcoin, especially coal, which has the worst emissions of any fuel.

Cryptocurrency is a good idea on many levels and we believe it has a promising future, but this cannot come with a hefty price tag on the environment.

Tesla will not sell any bitcoins and we plan to use it for transactions as soon as mining transitions to more sustainable energy. We are also looking at other cryptocurrencies that use 1% less energy than Bitcoin's transaction." In fact, criticisms of bitcoin mining like the Elon Musks have existed for a long time. They are based on analyzes such as the Cambridge University statement showing that the bitcoin mining network uses more than 121 terawatt hours (TWh) per year, equivalent to 1 of the 30 largest electricity consuming countries in the world. Recently, it has been estimated that this industry uses a lot of energy for nearly the entire country of Argentina.

The 3 most famous Israeli virtual currency projects in 2017-2018 were accused of being scams, with a project that once invited Lionel Messi to cooperate with the media.

A lawsuit filed on May 25 by employees of an Israeli venture capital fund alleges that three of Israel's largest cryptocurrency ICOs in 2017 and 2018. Totally a scam.

Three ICOs launched by Sirin Labs, Stx Technologies Limited (Stox) and Leadcoin, have raised $250 million from investors around the world.

The plaintiffs allege that none of the three companies ever developed a product as they promised investors. Instead, the defendants blatantly appropriated investors' money for personal use.

An ICO is the first issuance of virtual currency, a form of fundraising used by blockchain startups. Investors will be presented with a short film about the startup, biographies of the founders, and a "white paper" explaining the technology and business plan in more detail. If impressed by the startup, they can purchase tokens in its initial virtual currency offering. These tokens typically allow access to the product, and if the product is successful, it is expected that the tokens will increase in value on secondary exchanges. The $16.1 million lawsuit was filed by Roee Brocial and Eran Okashi, two former employees of the Singulariteam venture capital fund. Okashi served as an accountant for companies, while Broncial served as a personal assistant to Singulariteam's largest shareholder, Moshe Hogeg.

In subsequent statements, Hogeg denied the allegation and said the lawsuit was an attempt by disgruntled employees to blackmail him. Hogeg is an entrepreneur who has emerged since the early 2010s, famous for attracting famous investors into his startup projects, including Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, movie star Leonardo Dicaprio and Kazakh financier Kenges Rakishev. Hogeg is also the owner of the Beitar Jerusalem football team.

Hogeg has been sued several times by investors of various ventures who allege that he cheated them. In most cases, Hogeg settled with the plaintiffs, by signing non-disclosure agreements. And Hogeg is a 70% shareholder of Singulariteam, while the other defendants own a smaller number of shares in the fund. According to the plaintiffs, the defendants founded a series of blockchain-based companies with virtually no real activity and the sole purpose of defrauding investors. The complaint focuses on three of Singulariteam's ventures: Sirin Labs, which raised $158 million in July 2017 for a line of secure smartphones called Finney, in a partnership with Fonxconn, Prices start at $999.

Stx Technologies Limited, raised $34 million in August 2017 for the "predictive marketplace" of current events and sports. Leadcoin, on the other hand, raised $50 million in March 2018 for a "decentralized lead-sharing network".

The Stox ICO has been confirmed by the famous American boxer Floyd Mayweather. On Instagram, Sirin Labs is promoted by soccer star Lionel Messi and supermodels like Irina Shayk and Sara Sampaio. I am very happy to join Sirin Labs with the mission to make this technology more popular and friendly in the eyes of the public," the Barca star once shared on his personal Facebook page.

"Immediately after they raised money and sometimes while they were doing so, defendants gutted the companies and let them exist without any substantial activity, leaving investors with great damage," the lawsuit alleges.

The complaint alleges that Singulariteam's owners were attracted by the fact that the cryptocurrency is unregulated.

The plaintiffs have filed audio recordings of Steven Kruger, Singulariteam's legal counsel, which reveal how Moshe Hogeg stole investors' money. However, Kruger passed away recently from complications following an operation.

According to the plaintiffs, the defendants used the money they raised to buy expensive properties. They also allege that the defendants took approximately $21 million in Stox funds to invest in Telegram's ICO.

The plaintiffs also claim that they personally invested in the aforementioned ICOs and encouraged friends and family to do the same. But promises of roses never appeared. Even about a month after Sirin's ICO, the value of one of the tokens increased. But the plaintiffs were barred from doing so, while some defendants sold their share.

The value of virtual currencies from the 3 projects above is extremely low, at the present time.

Just mining Dogecoin and having hot water to use, the idea is not too bad but does anyone need it.

When there are more and more signs that the Dogecoin bubble is about to burst, its crazy fan, billionaire Elon Musk decided to help. But not with a shout-out, but with an idea that seems so great to the CEO of Tesla when it will bring a practical application to this meme coin.

This great idea is to take advantage of the heat generated during Dogecoin mining to make a hot tub and more importantly, Mr. Musk himself is very excited about it. The idea comes at a time of growing concern about the environmental impacts of energy use when mining cryptocurrencies. It was Musk who evoked this concern by saying that the negative environmental impacts of Bitcoin mining was the reason why Tesla stopped accepting Bitcoin as a means of payment for car purchases. Musk's statement set off a series of measures to tighten crypto mining operations in China and Iran that followed. Most recently, Iran banned Bitcoin mining in this country for 4 months because of frequent power outages in this country.

The idea of the hot water tank was mentioned in the tweet of the crypto exchange Blockfolio: " Hot tub heated by mining Dogecoin. Elon Musk, I don't know how, but let's go it came true ." Beneath Mr. Musk responded with a terse response: " Great idea ."

It may sound odd, but this isn't the first time Musk has tried to find a real-life application for Dogecoin, the meme coin that was created as a joke. Earlier this month, Mr. Musk also announced a satellite launch program to be paid for in this Dogecoin.

" This mission will demonstrate the applicability of cryptocurrencies beyond Earth's orbit and form the basis for interplanetary commerce ." SpaceX Vice President of Commercial Business Tom Ochinero said in his statement. Even though the cryptocurrency market is seeing the biggest increase in recent years and is gaining popularity in every corner of the world. However, power concerns for cryptocurrency mining are becoming more and more ominous. But Mr. Musk has tried to defend this favorite cryptocurrency publicly, saying that its energy efficiency is much better than other cryptocurrencies.

On another occasion, Musk also revealed that he is working with Dogecoin developers to improve its energy efficiency.

The new trick of fraudulent apps on the App Store is forcing users to rate the app in favor of it before it can be used. Otherwise they will be stuck at the pop-up screen.

A new App Store scam has been revealed by developer Kosta Eleftheriou. A new scam has been discovered on the UPNP Xtreme app, which requires at least a 3-star rating to work and be allowed to use. UPNP Xtreme is an application that allows to stream content to TV from their iPhone and iPad. However, this app will prompt for App Store rating as soon as you enable it for the first time. But it won't work until you leave a review. Accordingly, this application requires you to have a minimum rating of 3 stars to use. However, this app has now been removed from the App Store.

Requiring an app review at launch and not allowing users to dismiss pop-ups is a violation of the App Store guidelines.

Kosta also shared a video on its Twitter account showing that the app won't work if you don't give it a good review. Kosta says the app had over 15 million downloads before it was removed from the App Store, and has made quite a bit of money. FlickType keyboard developer Kosta Eleftheriou has been declaring war on Apple for quite some time.

The incident happened when the owner of a copy of the FlickType keyboard app took over the original app due to fake reviews and ratings. Eleftheriou has since sued Apple for flaws in the App Store and accused his apps of being sold for cheap.

Eleftheriou has since repeatedly reported scams on the App Store through its Twitter account.

In the past, Eleftheriou has reported a VPN scam app stealing $5 million/year from Apple users. Additionally, he also revealed an app scam that turns it into an online casino, as soon as you connect to a Turkish server.

News on the evening of May 31st, Beijing time, according to reports, nowadays cars are slowly becoming less dependent on hardware, and more dependent on software. The impact of this shift on the automotive industry is no less than any other trend, including vehicle electrification and autonomous driving. For this reason, investors in the automotive field should begin to pay more attention to software. If this "software-defined car" trend is difficult to understand, just look at your mobile phone. In the past, mobile phones have always been about hardware until the birth of the iPhone. New applications (App) and operating systems make mobile phones better and better.

At present, the car is still in the "flip phone" stage, but this situation is changing. Tesla pioneered the "over-the-air update", and now more automakers are doing the same, connecting their cars to the Internet.

Last week, Ford Motor Week announced a plan to improve the effective running time and efficiency of commercial fleets and reduce the cost of vehicles by fully utilizing the intelligent network technology from vehicles to the cloud. Investors are very optimistic about the news. Ford's stock price has risen 9% in the past week, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average both rose about 1%.

Essentially, Tesla is removing sensors from cars and relying more on software. In contrast, traditional car manufacturers are also adding software, but they are not inclined to remove sensors and hardware.

This transformation is also accompanied by "growth troubles." Last week, Tesla's Model 3 electric car lost its Best Choice rating from Consumer Reports. Mainly because of its safety features and Tesla's decision to use only optical cameras when "other carmakers use radars and cameras."

Tesla is unlikely to go back on this decision. In fact, more automakers may adopt a similar approach to Tesla. The transition to "more software-centric cars" will have many impacts on how cars are designed and sold.

Kevin Clark, CEO of Tesla's power electronics component supplier Aptiv, said: “Tesla has not really focused on models for a long time. Tesla can increase power output through software and increase the range of electric vehicles. This can be achieved through software, as is the enhancement of in-car entertainment functions.

Obviously, this approach has produced tangible benefits. Tesla's gross profit margin is higher than that of BMW, although its scale is only 30% of BMW's. Clark said that the "software-defined car" trend is still in its infancy and there is still a long way to go.

Apple products are always sought after by many people, especially in the education sector, they are used by students and teachers because of the company's preferential policy. Recently, Apple cooperated with the University of Nevada, Reno, NV - USA to give first-year students to study iPad Air for free.

Accordingly, MacRumors is part of the "Digital Wolf Pack" initiative, all freshmen who are about to attend this university in the fall of 2021 will receive iPad Air, Apple Pencil and Apple Smart Keyboard Folio is completely free.

Along with ‌iPad Air‌, students will receive focused training to improve their digital literacy and proficiency with productivity, creativity, and communication apps. Freshmen will also have access to Apple's suite of apps such as Keynote, Pages, Numbers, Swift Playgrounds, and more, along with custom apps designed to support the on- and off-campus experience.

In the statement, Apple's Vice President of Education and Worldwide Developer Relations said Apple is "proud" that the company's products and curriculum have been selected by the university.

University of Nevada President Brian Sandoval said the initiative will ensure that students "have the same level of cutting-edge technology, digital tools and learning materials, anywhere and at any time. from the first day of school to graduation and beyond."

In recent times, Google has continuously focused on making its Chrome browser faster and less resource-intensive to compete with the growing rival Microsoft Edge Chromium. One of the new improvements to make Chrome run smoother is now available in the recently released 91st version and will be rolled out to Windows 10 and macOS users in the coming days.

As you probably know, the execution time of JavaScript commands is very important to the overall performance of any web browser. Google is trying to make the JavaScript engine faster with the new Sparkplug compiler, and this change is available with Chrome 91. Specifically, after the update, Chrome will be up to 23% faster, according to Google.

This new compiler has been designed to fill the gap between command execution and JavaScript code optimization for maximum performance when users use Chrome. In addition to the new compiler, Google is also using a new feature called "built-in calls" to optimize Chrome's processes, which uses pre-developed code to reduce the time it takes to execute code. command function. Google has confirmed that they are making a variety of changes to improve Chrome's overall performance. For example, Google plans to introduce support for the "back-forward cache" feature on Windows 10, macOS, Linux and other platforms with Chrome version 92. Accordingly, this feature allows instant page loading. when the user navigates between open tabs using the “Back” and “Forward” buttons. Currently, the feature only works when a page has been previously visited and is still in the browser cache. In a document, Google explains that the “back-forward cache” is expected to improve user experience and overall performance by keeping previously visited pages alive after the user navigates away from it. using the browser's "Back" and "Forward" buttons. For now, users can test this new "back-forward cache" feature by enabling the flags menu in Chrome. As for the general release, an exact release date has yet to be revealed, but Google is currently planning to test the feature with a select group of users using Chrome 92 or later. It's also important to note that similar features have been supported in Chrome for Android and Safari for years.

This is not a joke," said expert Qu Qiang of a systemic shock that would hit the current financial system if Bitcoin was widely accepted as a currency.

Qu Qiang, a China economist and assistant director at the Institute of International Monetary Fund of Renmin University in Beijing, in a recent interview on CGTN (China Global Television Network) shared. Share your personal views on bitcoin. CGTN is owned by China Central Television (CCTV).

When asked about the worst-case scenario or whether there would be a systemic shock to the current financial system if the digital currency bitcoin becomes widely used in China or the rest of the world. world no, he replied that:

"I can tell you exactly what's going to happen… We're all going to die. This isn't a joke."

This expert calls this the "worst-case scenario or must-have" if Bitcoin becomes "the ultimate currency" and "accepted by the whole of human society".

“Bitcoin has a very, very limited total amount, which means it is a deflationary currency,” Qu shared, noting that Bitcoin will not expand as humans grow. increasing. Thus, he asserts that with the adoption of Bitcoin, human society will fall into a "death spiral of deflation". The whole society will shrink and explode on its own. That's what happened at the end of the Ming Dynasty when they ran short of silver," he further explained. Economist Qu Qiang in an interview on CGTN.

However, after the video of the expert's interview was shared on Twitter, it received mixed responses.

Many bitcoin investors have laughed and criticized this view, some even calling the whole thing the "ultimate FUD" or a "blatant propaganda" view. FUD stands for the first 3 letters of the phrases Fear - Uncertainty - Doubt (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt), is considered a tactic of spreading fake news that affects perception by creating false information. .

Some people have argued against this view with evidence that: "The Ming dynasty collapsed for many reasons but the deflationary spiral due to lack of silver was not one of them". According to these views, at the time, the Ming issued too many banknotes and caused hyperinflation, but limits on silver were not the root cause. By 1425, paper money was worth only 1/70 of its original value, and its use was discontinued shortly thereafter.

Some joked , "I didn't know Bitcoin ended the Ming Dynasty", or quipped: "Imagine that bitcoin was created in the 15th century, it's scary."

Qu Qiang graduated and received a doctorate in economics from Renmin University of China, where he is currently a professor and PhD advisor. He is also the external supervisor of the Bank of Beijing and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC). Among the many positions he holds is the director of the China Center for Financial Policy Research, a key research center in the social sciences and humanities of the Chinese Ministry of Education.

The Dogecoin bubble seems to have burst.

According to BitInfoCharts data, Dogecoin's average transaction value plummeted nearly 80% from last Sunday's high of $1.16 million to less than $240,000 three days later.

Such a sharp drop in daily transaction value is a sign that the Dogecoin fever is gradually cooling down and a large amount of this digital currency is being held by "whales". Furthermore, BitInfoChart data shows that the total value of Dogecoin's on-chain transactions (made on the blockchain platform) peaked at $82 billion on May 5, which is higher than $35 billion of Bitcoin and $12 billion of Ethereum.

However, the current situation shows that the growth rate is slowing down.

On Wednesday, Dogecoin hit $5 billion in daily trading value, down 93% from its peak. Dogecoin surprised everyone by continuously witnessing double-digit growth, from 20% to 86% in just 24 hours on an April day. At that time, Dogecoin's market value was already large than some public companies like Ford and Kraft Heinz.

According to CoinMarketCap data, the price of Dogecoin is currently at $0.3055.

Who wins, who loses?

Dogecoin has been through a very wild journey. Starting at 0.5 cents, those who bought and held for a few months certainly made money. But there are probably a lot of people who bought at the highs when the price hit around 73 cents on May 8 and are now worried.

Dogecoin was created by engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer in December 2013 to prove the worthlessness of cryptocurrencies. This satirical cryptocurrency uses a mock-up of the famous Japanese Shiba Inu dog as its symbol.

Initially, this meme went viral on the Internet in the early 2010s, creating a fever at both the US Comic Sans comic fair and appearing a lot in 9gag's photo manipulation culture.

The original photo was taken on February 23, 2010 by the dog's owner, a preschool teacher named Atsuko Sato. Ms. Sato started blogging 8 months ago to update daily information about her pet dog, named Kabosu.

The name is named after a large round Japanese lemon variety. The female dog Shiba Inu was adopted by her at a dog shelter that closed in 2008 surrounded by many Kabosu lemon trees.

The privacy options are hidden by Google deep in the settings to make it difficult for users to find.

According to Business Insider, an unverified document in the lawsuit between the state of Arizona (USA) against Google shows that this company has been making it difficult for users to protect their privacy.

Specifically, the documents claim that Google continues to collect location data even when users have turned off location sharing, and makes it difficult for users to find privacy settings. Insider also reported that the documents show that Google pressured phone manufacturers to hide the privacy setting, as it is quite common among users. According to AP, even if a user has turned off Location History and doesn't allow apps to track location data, Google will still know the user's location. This location data will not be recorded in the history of the Google Maps application but is only used by Google. Users can disable Google's location tracking by turning off another option, called Web & App Activity.

Earlier in May last year, Attorney General Mark Brnovich of the state of Arizona (USA) filed a lawsuit against Google, accusing the company of illegally tracking location without consent. comments from Android users. The documents indicate that Google still allows background tasks to be launched for location tracking, and only stops these processes altogether when the user disables system-level tracking. ). Google spokesman José Castañeda responded to The Verge's email, saying Google's services are being misrepresented in nature: "Brnovich and Google's competitors are trying to advance the lawsuit. and misrepresenting our services.At Google, we always work collaboratively to integrate privacy into our products and provide robust controls for location data. wish to be able to correct these misunderstandings."

Currently, Google has not confirmed any additional information.

US researchers have discovered a drug that could be a "challenging game" tool in the treatment of Covid-19 patients, including SARS-CoV-2 variants.

University of Pennsylvania researchers have found that diABZI is highly effective in preventing severe Covid-19 symptoms in mice and can fight many different variants. These researchers also found that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has the ability to avoid the action of a protein produced by the body's cells when attacked by the virus. That has resulted in a delayed immune response, allowing the virus to enter and infect the respiratory system.

However, when learning more about the immune system, the scientists found that diABZI has components that can stimulate the production of antiviral proteins.

Accordingly, out of a total of 129 mice with Covid-19 treated with diABZI, when pre-evaluated with a control group, the mice receiving this drug had a lower viral load.

It's become less and less foreign for big brands to launch special products or partner with tech companies. On May 27, Bugatti launched its high-end smartwatch with many interesting points.

Accordingly, Bugatti said the company's high-end smartwatch is called Bugatti Ceramique Edition One and has 3 versions including Bugatti Ceramique Edition One Pur Sport, Bugatti Ceramique Edition One Le Noire and Bugatti Ceramique Edition One Divo in honor of a number of models. the company's most iconic ultra-luxury sportswear.

Kabosu suddenly became famous globally when people saw this dog all over the mass media through the image of the virtual currency Dogecoin.

With the virtual currency world, Dogecoin is no longer a joke. This satirical cryptocurrency surged 800% in 24 hours on a late January day. At that time, billionaire Elon Musk happily helped the Reddit community fight Wall Street short sellers with a tweet, in return for this community together push Dogecoin 'to the moon'.

Dogecoin then continued to fly high, reaching a value of $0.45 in mid-April thanks to the support of Elon Musk, hit rapper Snoop Dogg, legendary bassist Gene Simmons before peaking at $0.73 at the beginning of the month. 5 with a record capitalization of $90 billion, ranking fourth in the entire crypto market at the time. The name is named after a large round Japanese lemon variety. The female dog Shiba Inu was adopted by her at a dog shelter that closed in 2008 surrounded by many Kabosu lemon trees.

When the photo became famous, Atsuko Sato was interviewed to ask about the moment. Unfortunately, she doesn't remember anything. “It took me a while, it looked very strange. It was the Kabosu that I didn't recognize," she told reporters in 2013.

“To be honest, a lot of the pictures look weird to me but still very funny. I am quite impressed with the taste and skill of this breed. None of my neighbors know anything about this meme. I don't really understand memes myself, maybe because I live a life like them," she confessed.

According to Ms. Sato, the reason Kabosu can create such a moment of life is because it is so different from other Shiba Inu dogs. It is very gentle and calm, it also loves to be photographed.

On April 1, 2017, Chinese TV station broadcast the news that the dog Kabosu died as a joke on April Fools' Day. Fortunately, this dog is still healthy at the age of 16.

In addition to the Shiba Inu, Japan is also famous for the Akita Inu dog breed that goes down in history with the legendary story of the loyal Hachiko dog waiting for its owner to die. These breeds are all represented by some virtual currency with corresponding names during the pet-type cryptocurrency craze last month.

Tesla is not just an ordinary car company but is going beyond to become a cult technology company in the world.

During the earnings report at the end of April, CEO Elon Musk set a new goal for electric car company Tesla - not only as an electric vehicle manufacturer but also entering the field of artificial intelligence to develop. into one of the most powerful AI software groups in the world.

" We've shown we can do things that other self-driving car companies can't. So if you look at the evolution of the technologies that we've developed, we develop them to solve problems. topic of self-driving cars ." Elon Musk told analysts.

" The software currently used to solve the problems of self-driving cars is still very rudimentary, so we wanted to build a team from the ground up and be able to grow into the most advanced AI team in the world. real world ." Tesla's head of technology said during the earnings call for the first quarter of 2021. Elon Musk himself has been investing in AI for many years now. One of the most notable investments is OpenAI, a company he founded in 2015 with Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever and Wojciech Zaremba.

OpenAI emerges as a leader in research and expanding access to AI technology. This is basically a non-profit organization, however in 2020 it becomes a company and partners with Microsoft to achieve new advancements, both in the language area with GPT-3 models as well as such as robotics and computer vision.

But Mr. Musk's vision goes beyond that. Combining artificial intelligence with self-driving capabilities also brings Robotaxis - a self-driving car-hailing service similar to Uber or Grab, but completely using self-driving cars and more cost-effective. Musk believes that Tesla can overcome the challenges of self-driving technology with only six cameras, machine learning technology and a computerized "brain" that can react at the speed of a human.

In addition, the company also continues to develop Dojo, a supercomputer for training AI self-driving cars on Tesla cars. Musk previously claimed that Tesla's Dojo supercomputer is capable of performing one exaFLOP, equivalent to 10 18 floating point calculations per second, making it the most powerful supercomputer in the world. It will be optimized for training artificial neural networks as well as equipping other companies.

According to foreign media electrek news, recent statistics show that Tesla Cybertruck electric pickups have been booked in excess of one million. This car will have three power configurations and will debut in November 2019. Consumers only need to pay a $100 deposit to book. Tesla President Elon Musk announced that the number of reservations for this car exceeded 250,000 within a week after its release. Specifically, the single-motor version of Cybertruck only accounts for 7.5%, and the price is 39,900 US dollars (approximately 255,800 yuan); the dual-motor version is scheduled to account for 48%, and the price is 49,900 US dollars (about 319,900 yuan); 3. The scheduled amount of the motor version accounts for 44.5%, and the price is US$69,900 (approximately RMB 448,100). Foreign media said that Tesla strives to start mass production of this car before the end of 2021, first to introduce dual-motor and triple-motor high-end models to the market, with a cruising range of 483 to 805 kilometers . However, Musk also warned that because Tesla is currently busy building a plant in Texas, the production of Cybertruck electric pickup trucks may be delayed and delivered in 2022. Tesla recently sent a text message to Cybertruck’s bookers, stating that the car will start production at the end of the year, and Model 3 and Model Y are also recommended.

Russian authorities say Google has 24 hours to remove banned content if it does not want to be fined. Even Russia will slow down Google's speed in this country.

Russia has taken measures to slow down Twitter for not removing banned content. This is part of Moscow's efforts to rein in major Western tech firms and protect its Internet sovereignty.

Media watchdog Roskomnadzor said it had sent more than 26,000 calls to Google to remove illegal information, including videos containing information about drugs, violence or extremist organizations. Google will be fined from 800,000 to 4 million rubles (VND 249 million to VND 1.24 billion) if it does not restrict access to prohibited information. Repeat violations will be fined up to 10% of total annual revenue. In addition, Roskomnadzor also accused Google of censoring domestic news agencies such as RT, Sputnik. Authorities asserted that censorship of Russian media and support for illegal protests "really speaks to the political color of Google's activities in Russia".

Last week, Google's Russia branch filed an appeal against a Moscow court order ordering it to unlock the account of a news channel belonging to a Russian businessman who is under financial sanctions from the United States and Europe. Court documents also show that Google sued Roskomnadzor for asking to remove banned content.

Google filed a lawsuit on April 23, but it was only accepted on May 11 after solving some problems. The hearing is scheduled to take place on July 14.

The Russian Mass Media Supervision Bureau previously required to block 12 "illegal content" links on Google's video sharing website YouTube, and warned that if the platform does not take action, it may be subject to sanctions.

Google has filed a lawsuit against the Russian Federal Telecommunications, Information Technology and Mass Media Supervision Bureau in a Moscow court, and the Moscow court has accepted it. According to RIA Novosti’s report on May 25, citing news from the Moscow City Court, the Moscow court imposed a fine of 6 million rubles (approximately RMB 523,800) on Google’s failure to delete information and content prohibited by Russian officials from disseminating it .

Entering 2021, disputes surrounding the development direction of autonomous driving technology have gradually subsided, and more and more manufacturers are more inclined to a variety of sensor fusion solutions instead of pure visual autonomous driving solutions in the past.

  Earlier, Tesla CEO Elon Musk mocked lidar sensors, believing that purely visual autopilot solutions are the future. But now there is news that Tesla is beginning to test autonomous driving technology equipped with lidar sensors.

  Recently, according to foreign media reports, Tesla Model Y is using Luminar lidar to develop autonomous driving technology. After the news was announced, Lidar company Luminar once rose more than 15% before the market on Monday. According to reports, Tesla has signed a contract with lidar company Luminar for testing and development using laser sensor technology. As part of the agreement, Luminar sold the sensors used on the Model Y to Tesla.

  Tesla started testing the LiDAR technology solution, which may indicate that Musk's previous "pure vision" solution has been shaken. Musk previously stated on social media that "it's really stupid to put lidar on the car." He also believes that lidar is a "useless thing" in autonomous driving technology, and Tesla only needs to rely on vision technology.

  It is worth mentioning that the Polar Fox Alpha S Huawei HI version equipped with Huawei’s autonomous driving solution was released not long ago. This is the world’s first mass-produced model capable of autonomous driving in urban areas. Related road test videos have attracted netizens after being published on the Internet. Our appreciation has also triggered a surge in the autonomous driving sector in the capital market.

  It is understood that in addition to highly intelligent algorithm software, the Polar Fox Alpha S Huawei HI version is also equipped with 3 lidars, 6 millimeter wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, 9 ADS cameras, and 4 surround view cameras. Azimuth provides automatic navigation view. In addition, the car is also equipped with Huawei's self-developed chip with 400TOPs computing power. From the perspective of vehicle owner safety, the "fusion scheme" of multiple sensors is obviously more reliable, because the pure vision scheme has limitations in some scenarios. For example, when facing strong light, the camera may not be able to identify obstacles ahead. The reason why Musk was not optimistic about the lidar solution before was because the high-end lidar is extremely expensive, which is not conducive to reducing vehicle manufacturing costs.

Instead of refuting the technological arguments in Vitalik Buterin's post, Elon Musk turned to a personal attack against the father of ETH.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has published a lengthy document about the limits of blockchain scalability, criticizing Tesla CEO Elon Musk's statement.

Not a cryptocurrency with many special effects, but DogeCoin has a huge supporter behind each of its steps, which is Tesla CEO, Mr. Elon Musk. Most recently in a tweet on May 15, Musk also emphasized that, Dogecoin will rise to become the market leader if it can increase the block size by 900% compared to today: Ideally, Doge could increase block processing speed by 10x, block size by 10x, and reduce transaction fees by 100x. Then it would take off .”

But Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin disagrees with this optimistic statement. In a lengthy document just published, Buterin criticized Musk's statement for pointing out the limits of blockchain's scalability. In his May 23 post, Buterin said that in today's blockchain network architecture, there is always a trade-off between scalability and decentralization. Buterin emphasized the huge challenge if it were to spike scalability and throughput " without leading to extreme centralization and infringing upon the fundamental properties that make up blockchains ."

Buterin emphasized the need for decentralization to eliminate the risk of a single point of failure in the blockchain as well as to protect a large network against coordinated attacks. Buterin also added that decentralization would not be achieved if ordinary users were not free to operate these nodes.

Faced with criticism from Buterin, Tesla CEO also did not fit when commenting right below the post of the creator of ETH, implying " He is afraid of dogs ".
