The tweet that the Tesla CEO released Sunday was part of an exchange with twitter users that omitted to refer to a CoinTelegraph article accusing him of “bitcoin manipulation.” Musk said that the company kept $1.5 billion of its initial investment in bitcoin, but sold about 10% to “confirm it’s easy to pay off.” [bằng bitcoin] without distorting the market”. Elon Musk has become a prominent and influential figure in the crypto world. He tweeted in May that Tesla would no longer accept bitcoin as a means of payment for its vehicles, citing the large amount of carbon emissions in bitcoin mining. esla will continue to allow transactions in bitcoin at the car manufacturer’s stores, once it is confirmed that the “mining” energy source is clean energy. Photo: Getty. This action is believed to be the cause of the sell-off of the world’s No. 1 cryptocurrency. Musk’s comments on the sustainability of bitcoin “mining” continue to resonate in the crypto community. A commonly cited metric from the University of Cambridge pegged the annual electricity consumption of bitcoin mining at around 99 terawatt-hours. This consumption is more than that of the Philippines or Pakistan. Some of Musk’s recent tweets have also sparked a mix of excitement, confusion, apprehension, and sometimes even fear in the crypto community. Earlier this month, investors attempted to analyze a mysterious tweet from SpaceX that included a bitcoin symbol and a broken heart emoji. The information that Elon Musk transmits has had a great influence on the price of dogecoin and bitcoin. Musk is also partly blamed for the current drop in bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency complex. The Wall Street Journal has described him as the biggest influence on bitcoin. By the end of June 13, the bitcoin price was up nearly 8%, changing hands at $38,808.09 on CoinDesk. As of now, Bitcoin is up over 28% for the year but is down about 40% from its mid-April peak at $64,829.14. The world’s No. 2 cryptocurrency, Ethereum, gained nearly 5%, changing hands at $2,521.81. Back in February, Tesla revealed that it had acquired about $1.5 billion in bitcoin in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. At the time, Tesla paid about $38,000/bitcoin for each bitcoin. This is the average price at the time of Tesla’s Q4 conference on January 27. This conference did not mention any bitcoin holdings and the date of filing with the SEC. Overall, the prices of digital assets like bitcoin are outperforming traditional markets.

Billionaire Elon Musk speaks at an event. Photo: AFP/VNA Tesla Inc CEO, billionaire Elon Musk, on June 13 posted on his personal Twitter page that the electric vehicle maker will accept bitcoin transactions when miners use a lot of energy. more renewable in the operation of “mining” this digital currency. The post of the head of Tesla states: “Once there is confirmation of a reasonable (about 50%) use of clean energy by miners with an upward trend in the future, Tesla will continue to allow bitcoin transactions”. Bitcoin jumped 5.1% to 37,360.63 USD/bitcoin on June 13 following the post of billionaire Elon Musk. The above post comes after the scientific journal Nature recently published a study that found China’s bitcoin “mines” pose a threat to the country’s climate goals. These mines account for nearly 80% of the world’s cryptocurrency transactions and partly use the energy of coal-fired power plants. Billionaire Tesla expressed his belief that digital currency has a promising future, but it cannot come at a hefty price for the environment. In addition, Mr. Musk also reacted to the article raising the possibility that billionaire Elon Musk regularly affects the value of bitcoin in one direction or another for his business benefit. The Tesla chief said that the company sold about 10% of its bitcoin holdings to confirm that the digital currency has easy liquidity without volatility to the market. Earlier in February 2021, Tesla revealed that it had purchased $1.5 billion in bitcoin and would accept it as a form of payment for cars. But in May, billionaire Musk reversed the decision, citing long-standing environmental concerns around mining this coin. Bitcoin dropped more than 10% in value shortly thereafter.

(Source: ashtonhawks.com) LG Electronics Inc. The company said on June 3 that its FOSSLight system, an open source software management tool, is ready to “serve” external developers as the Korean technology giant strengthens its presence in the community software . LG said system FOSSLight, which has been used by the company since 2014, can now be downloaded for free on its website. This open source software allows programmers to freely use or edit according to their work needs. However, developers must comply with the license regulations for each open source code. LG’s FOSSLight is an open source compliance audit system, with the ability to analyze a developer’s software for compliance with licensing conditions and meeting security requirements. LG hopes this new move can strengthen FOSSLight’s global presence and improve the system’s stability by receiving mixed feedback from outside developers. This is also part of LG’s commitment to expanding cooperation and partnerships with others to accelerate digital transformation. LG has worked to establish a license management system Source code firmly open to professionals since 2007. LG is also the first Korean company to be recognized by the Linux Foundation’s OpenChain project. OpenChain is a project that helps define key recommended processes to make compliance with open source licenses simpler and more consistent.

Countries are looking for ways to encourage people to get vaccinated against Covid-19. Photo: Getty Starting May 27, the first two million Californians to get vaccinated will each receive $50 in cash or a gift card. California Governor Gavin Newsom said this is part of an effort to promote vaccination as the state prepares to fully reopen the economy on June 15. “I announce the application of incentive cards. Two million cards will be applied on a first-come, first-served basis. If you’re 12 or older, you can get a credit card or $50 cash,” Newsom said. 10 Californians vaccinated before June 15 also have a chance to win a $1.5 million lottery prize. States and private organizations across the country also offer a variety of incentives to convince people to get vaccinated, from free baseball tickets and beer, to college scholarships and cash. Meanwhile in Iraq, the private sector is also launching initiatives to support the government’s vaccination program. A cafe in the capital Baghdad announced free service to customers who have been vaccinated. You just need to show the vaccination certificate, you will be served free delicious coffee in the shop. Shop owner Yasser Alaa said the initiative was meant to emphasize the importance of vaccination. “I think we should expand the initiatives. Life is returning to normal thanks to vaccines. We have no weapons other than vaccines in this battle. We want to urge people to understand the importance of vaccines,” Alaa said. In Chile, if you get the vaccine, you will receive a “travel pass”, which allows you to move freely within the country. “This helps to make it easier for people who have had enough vaccinations to meet and have more contact with their loved ones,” said Chile’s health minister. However, there are limits to who can receive the card. They are not allowed to travel during the curfew, respecting public health regulations. Other measures including wearing masks and social distancing must still be observed. Freedom of movement does not include travel abroad, and the “Travel Pass” will use a QR code, allowing the government to change people’s status instantly if they become infected. The European Union’s “digital certification of Covid-19”, which requires users to have a Covid-19 vaccine, is expected to take effect from July 1, is also a motivation for people to European countries speed up vaccine coverage. There is still a fear of vaccination not only in Africa but also in developed countries such as Europe or the US. Practically any vaccine has an adverse reaction. This is true for every drug, pharmaceutical, and even food. However, according to the assessment of the World Health Organization, the risks posed by vaccines are much lower than the benefits. The incidence of adverse reactions is very low. Therefore, we should not be too concerned to ignore a powerful weapon in the fight against this dangerous virus.

The European Commission, on May 28, approved the use of the Covid-19 vaccine from Pfizer and its partner BioNTech for children 12 years of age and older, paving the way for the implementation of vaccinations for children of all ages. widely within the bloc, after similar decisions were made by the US and Canada. The decision came after the European Medicines Agency (EMA) advocated the use of the vaccine in children aged 12 to 15 years earlier. This vaccine has been used in the European Union for people 16 years of age and older. For the 12-15 age group, the two doses of the vaccine are also given at least three weeks apart, as with adults, the EMA said. According to the EMA, each EU country will decide whether and when to provide the vaccine to adolescents. While awaiting the decision of the EMA, on May 27, Germany outlined a plan to provide vaccines for children from 12 years old from June 7. Italy also said that it is preparing to expand its Covid-19 vaccination campaign to people over 12 years old. Immunizing children and adolescents is seen as an important step towards achieving “herd immunity” and taming the pandemic. On May 28, Japan also joined other countries that decided to give the Pfizer vaccine to children as young as 12 years old. Since March, Pfizer and Biontech have released trial data showing that their Covid-19 vaccine is 100% effective in protecting against infectious disease in a trial of 2,260 adolescents aged 12 to 15 years. .

For the purpose of expanding photo reconnaissance capabilities to ensure combat operations, the US National Mapping and Photographic Reconnaissance Service is authorized to use images of the territory of Afghanistan taken by the commercial Ikones satellite, with high resolution. 1m resolution. The US military also has the right to use information received from the satellite system to explore the earth’s natural resources. These are Landsat-7, Terra, Orview satellites. Information from these satellites is used to establish, supplement and clarify topographic maps, to facilitate the assessment of the situation in the area of ​​combat operations. The figure shows the NAVSTAR navigation satellite system. Photo: britannica In this war, the United States decided to extend the use of the experimental satellite for opto-electronic imaging of the earth’s surface EO-1 belonging to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the purpose of ensuring the integrity of the satellite. better for the US military. Thanks to this satellite, the US military has received images of the earth’s surface position with a resolution of 30m, allowing it to be used to assess the damage of the target, on the basis of comparing the multispectral images obtained to take pictures before and after taking the blows and to calm down on the need for repeat attacks. For radio reconnaissance satellites, the US uses 2 Acvakaid satellites (Magnum and Mentor types). These satellites allow the reception of radio communications, relay communications, convection, signals from satellites, signals of ballistic missiles, aircraft and vehicle control signals. unmanned flight. It is said that the Taliban use very modern means of mobile satellite communication. However, the American radio reconnaissance satellite allows to capture the communications between the Taliban commanders, to detect in time the location of the troops and their plans. Military communication satellites work with the greatest intensity, but only guarantee 40-60% of the requirements of the forces participating in the campaign. In the composition of this satellite cluster, there are 6 satellites of the DSCS strategic communication system, 3 satellites connected to the Mistar tactical and strategic communication network, 2 UFO-type satellites of the tactical-operational communication system. of the navy, air force and army, six satellites of the SDS transmission system. In addition, the US also uses satellites belonging to NASA systems to monitor and transmit TDSS information. Due to the sudden increase in the information traffic required to secure the operation, the United States had to make maximum use of space communication systems (compared to Operation Desert Storm, the traffic of information delivery increased by 7 times). Especially the Iridium mobile satellite communication system with 66 satellites operating in low orbit. This system ensures that the US military groups have enough communication channels connecting to the US Department of Defense’s digital information network (DISN) and ensures the communication system of the US state executive agencies, ensuring for the national telephone system and the Internet. The NAVSTAR navigation satellite system includes 24 satellites that ensure real-time navigation for US forces. The shortening of the adjustment time between satellites of the NAVSTAR system by the test measurement complexes of the US Air Force allows to improve the accuracy and determine the target coordinates for the use of technological weapons. high. In planning and conducting air strikes and missile strikes, the US military places particular emphasis on using information received from the satellites of the National Environmental Monitoring System (NPOESS). This system is used for weather forecasting, setting up global and regional meteorological maps for a period of 1 day to 2 weeks, allowing selection of information on cloud status, atmospheric pressure, etc. atmosphere and other parameters of near-Earth space. Meteorological satellites Block-5D2-8 and Block-5D3-1 are used with the highest intensity. The improvement of the operational efficiency of the NPOESS system allows to fully guarantee the US military units with meteorological information. In particular, the forecast of changes in solar activity has provided the ability to promptly correct the functions of communication, reconnaissance and navigation satellites, contributing to improving the efficiency of attacks and the detection of satellites. command the forces. To secure meteorological forecasts for navies, NASA’s Quicksat satellites are used to determine wind speed and direction over the ocean’s surface. Thus, during the war in Afghanistan, US satellite systems were used with high efficiency. At the same time, it also revealed some disadvantages, such as the lack of radar and opto-electronic reconnaissance satellites to timely orient the commander to use tactical forces. As a result, in some cases, commanders did not receive timely reconnaissance information. In addition, the satellite’s unobservable cycle over the combat area disrupted the monitoring of the movements of Taliban forces and vehicles.
