☆ Here's why one Gen Xer likes working with his Gen Z colleagues
  + stars: | 2023-11-18 | by ( Lakshmi Varanasi | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Gen Z can catch flak for being difficult in the workplace. But a Gen X boss at Duolingo recently broke down the good aspects of working with Gen Z on an episode of podcast "The Return." There's a growing consensus that Gen Z is bringing about a workplace reckoning. AdvertisementIt's not uncommon to hear managers complain that Gen Z workers are lazy, lack soft skills , or need constant supervision. Having a good sense of work-life balance, which Gen Z typically values, improves overall workplace culture, he said.

☆ Chinese start-ups scramble for alternatives to SVB
  + stars: | 2023-03-13 | by ( Samuel Shen Kane Wu Roxanne Liu | Samuel Shen | Kane Wu | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Chinese start-ups and fund managers said they are still looking to move their money out of SVB once they can. Such banks have offered account services similar to those of SVB, but found it hard to crack the U.S. bank's dominance among early-stage start-ups in China, where SVB has operated for more than two decades and has a local joint venture. STILL HUNTINGSome venture funds said they were in a quandary as SVB had certain advantages and was especially friendly to early-stage start ups. "Not a lot of banks are friendly to venture capital." "But the market space left by SVB will be filled by the next bank, which is an opportunity," said Chen, whose company counts Sequoia Capital China and Wu Capital among its investors and banks with SVB.
☆ China aims to launch nearly 13,000 satellites to 'suppress' Elon Musk's Starlink, researchers say
  + stars: | 2023-03-05 | by ( Stephen Chen | South China Morning Post | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The Chinese satellites could be equipped with an anti-Starlink payload to carry out various missions, such as conducting "close-range, long-term surveillance of Starlink satellites," they said. "The Starlink satellites may use their orbital manoeuvrability to actively hit and destroy nearby targets in space," the researchers said. China plans to build more powerful radar systems powered by new technology to identify and track Starlink satellites, they said. The Ukrainian military has used Starlink services effectively against Russian forces. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on February 18 that the US government had talked to Musk about the use of Starlink satellite internet in Ukraine, but did not elaborate.
☆ China's booming electric-car industry could transform its military's submarine fleet
  + stars: | 2022-10-31 | by ( Stephen Chen | South China Morning Post | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Solutions for problems with the batteries have been found through work in the booming electric car market, their study says. China has the world's largest conventional submarine fleet, with an estimated 60 to 70 vessels. The main purpose of China's conventional submarine fleet is to protect its coastal areas and strategic waters including the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. JMSDF/TwitterThe booming electric car market has also brought changes in the defence industry. Germany and France have also developed prototype lithium batteries for submarine use with plans for military service in the near future.
☆ Chinese military scientists simulated a nuclear blast in space to knock out satellite networks like Starlink
  + stars: | 2022-10-28 | by ( Stephen Chen | South China Morning Post | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Chinese scientists conducted a computer experiment of a nuclear blast in space. This could render nuclear weapons ineffective and too dangerous for an anti-satellite mission. Chinese military researchers worry that these satellites could provide communication services to rivals or slam into China's space station or satellites, acting as "suicide agents" to disable Chinese space infrastructure during a war. Some Chinese researchers have therefore proposed hitting a few carefully selected targets that could produce a small amount of space debris. "Whether it is legal to use nuclear weapons as a defence measure against a hypersonic weapon attack remains a subject of debate in the research community," he added.
☆ Stanford investigating report of a rape in basement of a university building
  + stars: | 2022-10-09 | by ( Julianne Mcshane | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +3 min
Stanford University is investigating after a woman reported having been raped in the basement of a campus building Friday, the school announced Saturday, marking the second report of a rape on the elite Northern California campus in as many months. The alert indicates that the woman had made a report not with police but instead with a "mandated reporter," who then notified campus police. The university defines mandatory reporters as certain employees or people affiliated with the university, including contractors and volunteers, who are legally obligated to report specific crimes. Friday's reported assault follows another rape alleged to have occurred in a campus bathroom in August, according to an alert from that time. A spokesperson for the university did not respond to a question about whether the reported assaults Friday and in August might be connected.
