SpaceX IPO Makes Elon Musk World's First Trillionaire

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: Few business leaders have been as deeply embedded in popular culture as Elon Musk, the ambitious entrepreneur who has become a central figure in internet culture and amassed a fortune that has made him the world's first trillionaire. At a time when concerns about inequality are high and public attitudes toward the ultra-wealthy have soured, Musk has managed to retain a loyal following despite his stratospheric net worth and without the folksy persona that en

A trillion dollars is a stupid amount of money

Elon Musk is now officially the world's first trillionaire. That is a colossal amount of wealth (and by proxy, power) for one individual to have. Its scale - a thousand times more than a billion - is difficult to fathom for those of us who aren't among the 3,363 billionaires that currently exist in our […] Read more

Как опыт магазина из Урюпинска поможет большому бизнесу пережить кризис

Экономика России сейчас переживает кризис такого характера, которого еще не было в ее истории. Кризис 1998, 2010, 2014 и даже эпидемия коронавируса имели выход за счет внешнего финансирования, открытых внешних рынков и готовности государства помогать бизнесу. Теперь же ждать помощь извне бессмысленно, по крайне мере, она будет очень нескоро, а значит надо искать резервы внутри бизнеса. И такие ресурсы есть, просто их никогда по-настоящему не использовали, так как внешняя конъюнктура... Read more

BSA Lashes Out At Mandatory Open-Source Licensing

Longtime Slashdot reader Elektroschock writes: The American Business Software Alliance (BSA) does not consider mandatory open-source licensing to be an appropriate indicator of sovereignty. This is among the "pointed messages" they sent to the French government consultation (closed) today. "What protects Europe is the ability to govern, audit, and mitigate risk, not where a company files its corporate papers," said Thomas Boue of BSA. "Criteria of this kind raise costs,... Read more

The US Military Quietly Turned GPS Into a Global 'Numbers Station,' Evidence Suggests

A security researcher says evidence suggests the U.S. military has been using an obscure GPS message field for nearly 20 years to broadcast encrypted key-distribution data, effectively turning GPS satellites into a global "numbers station." The hidden-looking 176-bit messages appear tied to the Pentagon's Over-the-Air Distribution system for remotely updating cryptographic keys, meaning ordinary GPS receivers may have been receiving the traffic all along without anyone outside the military noticing....
