Musk credits father for teaching ‘physics, engineering & construction’

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Billionaire Elon Musk on Sunday credited his father for teaching fundamentals of “physics, engineering and construction”.
The world’s second richest man said that the teaching of his father Errol Musk, a South African politician, “is more valuable than money”.
Musk, who owns several companies like Twitter, Tesla and SpaceX said that he has not “inherited anything ever from anyone”, quashing the long-running rumour which claims his father owns an emerald mine in South Africa and that he has given him financial assistance.

Errol Musk had previously claimed in an interview that he used emeralds from an “under the table” mine in Zambia to finance his son’s escape from South Africa to America.
Musk said nobody has provided him with “a large financial gift” and that his father did not support him “financially after high school in any meaningful way”.
Instead, Musk and his brother had to financially support their father after his small electrical/mechanical engineering company “fell on hard times”, making him “essentially bankrupt for about 25 years”.
“Our condition of providing him financial support was that he not engage in bad behaviour. Unfortunately, he nonetheless did. There are young children involved, so we continued to provide financial support for their well-being,” Musk said.
He again denied the existence of the emerald mine. Earlier this month, he also tweeted: “I will pay a million Dogecoin for proof of this mine’s existence!”

He noted Errol Musk told him that he owned a share in a mine in Zambia, which he believed “but nobody has ever seen the mine, nor are there any records of its existence”.
“If this mine was real, he would not require financial support from my brother and me”.

Dr. Andrabi also reviewed the progress achieved so far & was apprised by the Engineering Wing about limitations in achieving targets because of the winter season & high altitude location of some major shrines.
Major focus of discussion remained the execution of works at shrines with large footfall of devotees, like, Aasar-e-Shareef Hazratbal Srinagar, Makhdoom Sahib (R.A) Shrine, Dastageer Sahib (R.A) Khanyar, Ziyarat Baba Reshi (R.A), Aishmuqam Shrine, Charar-i-Sharif Shrine and several other shrines where people offer significant donations for execution of works & improvement of facilities.
Pertinently, Waqf, under the leadership of Dr Andrabi has adopted the policy of making expenditures at shrines strictly as per income of the shrines and has stopped the practice of diverting donations from one shrine to another. The meeting was attended by Tehsildar and Executive Engineer Waqf Board, all Junior Engineers and Supervisors of Waqf.(GNS)

GitHub lays off entire India engineering team, at least 100 employees hit

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Open source developer platform GitHub has laid off its entire engineering team in India, its second largest developer community after the US, which affected at least 100 employees as part of the “reorganisation plan”.
Tech writer Gergely Orosz, who tracks global tech layoffs especially among the engineering/developer teams, the Github team in India has been let go at once.
“We’re talking of 100 engineers. This was done as the team was smaller than other locations, owning fewer and lower priority stuff,” he said in a tweet.
Orosz said he confirmed the layoffs after “talking with (now former) GitHub India engineers”.
A GitHub spokesperson told IANS that as part of the reorganisation plan shared in February, “workforce reductions were made today”.
It was “part of difficult but necessary decisions and realignments to both protect the health of our business in the short term and grant us the capacity to invest in our long-term strategy moving forward,” said the company spokesperson.
Microsoft-owned open source developer platform in February announced it was laying off 10 per cent of its workforce through the end of the company’s fiscal year.
GitHub had about 3,000 employees before the layoffs were announced.

In an email to employees, GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke had said that sustained growth is important for every business.
“Today, we are the home of 100 million developers, and we must become the developer-first engineering system for the world of tomorrow. We must continue to help our customers grow and thrive with GitHub, expedite and simplify their cloud adoption journey, while supporting them every day,” the CEO wrote.
“Unfortunately, this will include changes that will result in a reduction of GitHub’s workforce by up to 10 per cent through the end of FY23. The hiring pause that I announced on January 18 remains in effect,” he added.
The open source developer platform has reached 100 million members globally, and is growing fast in India too where it has crossed 10 million developers on the platform.
This makes India the second largest developer community on GitHub, behind the US.
