Sundar Pichai Announces $1 Billion Google ‘Awas Yojana’ To Address Tech-Fuelled Housing Crisis In Bay Area

Google on Tuesday (Jun 19) announced a $1 billion commitment to ease the Bay Area’s housing crisis, pledging to add about 20,000 homes across the region. This is the latest in a series of commitments by tech behemoth to address an affordability crisis and homelessness in the region.

The$1bn announcement towards supporting the development of 20,000 new homes over the course of 10 years is the largest single commitment from a tech company to fight the housing shortage that engulfed the bay area.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai made the announcement in a blog post. “As we work to build a more helpful Google, we know our responsibility to help starts at home,” Pichai, wrote. “For us, that means being a good neighbor in the place where it all began over 20 years ago: the San Francisco Bay Area.”

Over the next 10 years, Google said that it will repurpose at least $750 million of its land, most of which is currently zoned for office or commercial space, as residential housing. The company claims that this will enable it to support the development of at least 15,000 new homes at all income levels in the Bay Area, including housing options for middle and low-income families.

Google is hopeful that this will play a role in addressing the chronic shortage of affordable housing options for long-time middle and low income residents.

Google also plans to establish a $250 million investment fund so that it can incentivise developers to build at least 5,000 affordable housing units across the market.

Through Google.org, the company plans to distribute up to $50 million in grants to nonprofits focused on the issues of homelessness and displacement. The company has already provided $18 million in grants we’ve given to help address homelessness over the last five years, including $3 million it gave to the newly opened SF Navigation Center and $1.5 million to affordable housing for low income veterans and households in Mountain View.

In the coming months, Google said that it continue to work with local municipalities to support plans that allow residential developers to build quickly and economically..

Google aims is to get housing construction started immediately, and for homes to be available within next few years.

In Mountain View, Google worked in tandem with the city authorities to change zoning in the North Bayshore area to free up land for housing, and is currently working to achieve similar outcomes in Sunnyvale and San Jose.

Earlier this January, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the San Francisco Foundation, Facebook, Genentech, and others announced a new $500 million fund to build or preserve more than 8,000 homes in five Bay Area counties over the next five to 10 years.

Microsoft has committed $500 million to build affordable housing and tackle homelessness in the Seattle area.

Wells Fargo also has announced it would spend $1 billion for affordable housing as part of a broader national philanthropic push.

Google's Project Zero Reveals Zero-Day Exploit on Windows That Microsoft Hasn't Fixed Yet

Since Microsoft wasn't able to fix the bug in 90 days, Google's Project Zero team has now published the bug report.

HIGHLIGHTS
Project Zero researcher Tavis Ormandy has detailed the exploit on Twitter

The bug has been filed as "low severity"
Microsoft would bring the fix through the July Patch Tuesday release

Google's Project Zero team has revealed a zero-day exploit affecting Windows systems. Microsoft was informed about the bug that is claimed to allow attackers to "take down an entire Windows fleet relatively easily", though the Redmond company hasn't been able to bring its fix in the 90-day window proposed originally. The issue is said to have its presence in Windows' SymCrypt core cryptographic library that is available for symmetric algorithms since Windows 8. The open-source project also debuted as the primary crypto library for asymmetric algorithms on the Windows 10 1703 build.

Project Zero researcher Tavis Ormandy through a series of tweets has detailed the exploit. "It's a DoS, but this means basically anything that does crypto in Windows can be deadlocked (s/mime, authenticode, ipsec, iis, everything). Microsoft committed to fixing it in 90 days, then didn't," Ormandy tweeted.

Since Microsoft wasn't able to fulfil its commitment on time, the Project Zero team has now published the bug report on the Chromium site. Ormandy has also created an X.509 certificate to trigger the bug that is believed to prompt a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on Windows servers. However, the bug has been marked with "low severity".

Senior Security Engineering Manager at Google Tim Willis in the Chromium post mentioned that Microsoft is still working on the fix. "MSRC [Microsoft Security Response Center] reached out to me and noted that the patch won't ship today and wouldn't be ready until the July release due to issues found in testing. As today is 91 days, derestricting the issue," said Willis.

It is likely that Microsoft would bring a fix through the next month's July Patch Tuesday release. Meanwhile, server admins should be aware of the vulnerability to avoid any inevitable incidents.

Walmart is expected to pump in $1.2 billion to fund Flipkart's operations

Walmart is expected to pump $1.2 billion into Flipkart's operations Flipkart. The world’s largest retailer acquired homegrown e-commerce company Flipkart for $16 billion last year, pitching it in direct competition with its rival Amazon.com in a battle for dominance of India’s online retail market.

As of April 30, 2019, and January 31, 2019, Walmart reported cash and cash equivalents of $2.7 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively, according to filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission made by Walmart last week. Of the $2.7 billion of cash, approximately $1.2 billion can only be accessed through dividends or inter-company financing arrangements, subject to approval of Flipkart's minority shareholders. “However, this cash is expected to be utilised to fund the operations of Flipkart,” said the filing.
The net cash used by the Bentonville, Arkansas-based company in financing activities decreased $1.6 billion for the three months ended April 2019, compared to the same period in the previous financial year. This decrease was partially impacted by the Flipkart acquisition. Walmart reported a working capital deficit of $18.1 billion on April 30, 2019, compared to $21.5 billion in 2018. This decline was primarily due to higher current assets as a result of the consolidation of Flipkart.

This decline was primarily due to higher current assets as a result of the consolidation of Flipkart.

Walmart’s total revenue increased $1.2 billion or 1 per cent in the three months to April 30, 2019, when compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. This increase was due to the addition of Flipkart’s net sales besides other factors.
During April-May this year, Walmart President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Doug McMillon and Judith McKenna, president and CEO of Walmart International, visited India to assess the progress made by Flipkart. They also met the senior leadership of Flipkart and group companies — Myntra and PhonePe — and is learnt to have discussed strategy to take on Amazon.

Amazon has stepped up its investment in India and recently pumped Rs 2,800 crore into its marketplace. The fresh investment comes at a time when the Seattle-headquartered firm has logged out from China. In December last year, Amazon invested Rs 2,200 crore in its Indian entity. Jeff Bezos-led Amazon has so far made over $5-billion investments in India. Some reports suggest that the company may have invested an additional $2 billion on top of that.

Google is disconnecting Photos from Drive because it’s “confusing” for most users

After offering sync between Google Photos and Google Drive for long, Google has now decided to end the sync service because the whole thing is too “confusing” for users.

In a blog post, Dan Schlosser and Jason Gupta, product managers at Google wrote, “We’ve heard feedback that the connection between these services is confusing, so next month, we’re making some changes to simplify the experience across Drive and Photos,”

The changes according to the blog post will take effect in July and separate the two services, simplifying the system in the process.

Photos and videos you save to Google Drive will no longer automatically be copied to Google Photos. The same rule applies when you save to Photos.

More importantly, file deletions too won’t be a problem as they will not sync between the two services. This means that a particular photo deleted in Photos will not be deleted from your Drive account in case they happen to be the same one.

There will soon appear an “upload from Drive” button in Google Photos that will allow users a way to copy videos and photos from Drive to Photos but you will end up having two versions of the same file. This also means that such a move would end up eating more space especially if the copied item is of “original” quality, as only “high” quality images do not count against storage space.

Indeed, the most important takeaway from this disconnection is that photo will no longer be accidentally deleted from both services. While this simplifies things drastically for users, it also means that both services will now have to monitored individually when it comes to storing photos and videos.

Facebook ने लॉन्च किया नया एप, इस्तेमाल करने वालों को मिलेंगे पैसे, जानें कैसे

दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी सोशल मीडिया साइट Facebook ने अब एक ऐसा एप लॉन्च किया है जिसके जरिए वह अपने यूजर्स को पैसे देगी। पैसे के बदले लोगों को फेसबुक के साथ अपनी जानकारी शेयर करनी होगी, हालांकि ऐसा पहली बार नहीं हुआ है। इससे पहले भी फेसबुक ने इसी तरह के दो एप लॉन्च किए थे लेकिन यूजर्स की निजता को लेकर उठ रहे सवाल और आलोचना के बाद दोनों ऐप्स को बंद कर दिया गया।

फेसबुक ने अपने इस नए एप का नाम स्टडी (Study) रखा है जिसे गूगल प्ले-स्टोर से फ्री में डाउनलोड किया जा सकता है, हालांकि अभी तक यह साफ नहीं है कि इस एप को आईएस के लिए लॉन्च किया जाएगा या नहीं। इस एप के जरिए यूजर्स की गतिविधियों पर नजर रखेगा। उदाहरण के तौर पर इस एप के जरिए फेसबुक यह पता करेगा कि आप कौन-कौन से अन्य एप इस्तेमाल करते हैं और किस एप पर क्या करते हैं। साथ ही फेसबुक यह भी पता करेगा कि आप किस एप पर कितना समय बिताते हैं।

वहीं प्राइवेसी के सवाल फेसबुक ने कहा है कि यह एप किसी यूजर के अकाउंट और पासवर्ड की जानकारी एकट्ठा नहीं करेगा। साथ ही यह एप यूजर को समय-समय पर इसकी जानकारी देता रहेगा कि आपका डाटा इकट्ठा किया जा र हा है। हालांकि फेसबुक ने इस बात की जानकारी नहीं दी है कि इस ऐप के जरिए लोगों को कंपनी कितने पैसे देगी।

गौरतलब है कि पिछले साल फेसबुक के मार्केट रिसर्च एप 'रिसर्च' को उस शिकायत के बाद बंद कर दिया गया था जिसमें दावा किया गया था कि इस ऐप का इस्तेमाल बच्चे सबसे ज्यादा कर र हे हैं और यह एप एपल की गाइडलाइन्स को फॉलो नहीं करता है। इसी तरह फेसबुक के एक और ट्रैकिंग एप Onavo Protect को भी प्राइवेसी की वजह से ही बंद कर दिया गया था।

Google is deprecating 32-bit Windows support in Android Studio

Google’s first-party IDE for Android app development, Android Studio, is very powerful, but also fairly power hungry. Improving its stability and consistency has been a challenge that Google is addressing with its Project Marble initiative. Today’s change is part of this initiative. Google will deprecate support for 32-bit operating systems in Android Studio by the end of next year.

If you’ve ever worked with Android Studio, then I’m sure you’ll agree that running it on only 4GB of RAM will not provide a very pleasant experience. You’ll definitely want at least double, if not 16GB minimum, on your machine to use the IDE efficiently. In order to make use of all that RAM, you’ll need a 64-bit operating system and the 64-bit version of Android Studio. Therefore, Google will deprecate 32-bit OS support at the end of this year and will completely end support at the end of next year.

It’s good that Google is giving those developers time to migrate to a 64-bit version of Windows. Doing so will enable developers of native apps to build 64-bit versions of their apps, which will soon be required for publishing on Google Play starting August 1st, 2019.

Jio GigaFiber broadband now a better deal with just Rs. 2,500 security deposit but there’s a catch.

Reliance Jio has been a great disrupting force since its entry into the market. The company first created havoc with its telecom services, and within a matter of a few months saw itself win over crores of new users. Since then, the company has been trying to do the same with its broadband service and has already started to chip away at the user base of competing players with its free to use preview offer.

Since 2017, the company has been offering its internet services entirely free for users in cities like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Ahmedabad, Jamnagar, Surat, and Vadodara etc under the preview offer where users have to pay a refundable sum of Rs 4,500 for Jio Gigafiber's high-speed optical network terminal ONT router.

While many have already taken up Jio on the offer, the company has now gone ahead made another offer which on paper looks better than the existing one. As per reports, Reliance Jio has launched a new ONT device for Jio GigaFiber that requires a security deposit of just Rs. 2,500. Thus making this ONT device a better choice for users looking to buy into the Jio Gigafiber ecosystem.

However, there's a reason why the new ONT router is cheaper by Rs 2,000 than the original one. As it turns out, the new Jio GigaFiber ONT is reportedly a single band router with support only for 2.4Ghz channel -- as opposed to 5Ghz on the more expensive ONT.

While the service remains the same, the lack of support for the faster band means the new router can only provide users with speeds up to 50mbps. Apart from this, the supported speeds for the device over ethernet is also different as it only supports 10/100mbps and not 10/100/1000mbps(Gigabit). The router is Black colour and includes three RJ45, one RJ11, and one USB 2.0 port on the back.

But, while it loses out on faster speeds, Twitter user Presh*t Deorukhkar who has been using the service claims voice services are also being bundled with the new offering.

Why the original ONT device is better

While it's obvious that the new ONT device is clearly inferior to the one currently available, what also needs to be understood is that most users will not be able to spot the difference between the two services under normal use.

However, if you're an advanced user, one who likes to download a lot and have newer 5Ghz channel supported devices at home, it'll be prudent to go with the more expensive router as it guarantees you not only faster speeds, but also greater upgradability to even better services when the company goes commercially live with Jio Gigafiber.

Another thing to note here is that the 2.4Ghz channel is usually very crowded and users can experience performance issues on it if they live in a society with too many flats close to each other. So again, the original Rs 4,500 ONT makes more sense if you want to get yourself a new Jio Gigafiber connection.

Microsoft deletes massive face recognition database

The database was released in 2016 and was built of online images of 100,000 well-known people.

The database is believed to have been used to train a system operated by police forces and the military.

The deletion comes after Microsoft called on US politicians to do a better job of regulating recognition systems.

Active use
Microsoft told the FT the database was no longer available, because the person who curated it had now left the company.

Last year Microsoft President Brad Smith asked the US Congress to take on the task of regulating the use of facial recognition systems because they had "broad societal ramifications and potential for abuse".

More recently, Microsoft rejected a request from police in California to use its face-spotting systems in body cameras and cars.

The massive set of images, called the MSCeleb database, was compiled from images of celebrities found online.

The Megapixels project, which tracks face databases, said the "majority" of images were of American and British actors, but it added that it also included a lot of people who "must maintain an online presence for their professional lives".

Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 Laptop Launched in India for Enterprise Customers

Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 laptop has been launched in the Indian market. Targeted at enterprise users, the new laptop is claimed to be “smallest 14-inch 2-in-1” and has been built from ground up. The Dell laptop comes with features like ExpressSign-in, ExpressConnect, and ExpressCharge. The Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 price in India will start at Rs. 1,35,000 (excluding taxes). There is no word on the exact availability of the laptop. To recall, the Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 was originally unveiled at CES earlier this year.

Featuring a 2-in-1 form factor, the Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 can be used in a number of modes, including the regular laptop mode, tent mode, and tablet mode. The laptop sports Titan Gray finish, with a machined aluminium body, a hairline brushed design, and diamond-cut edges.

Dell says the new laptop uses the world's first PC proximity sensor, enabled by Intel's Context Sensing Technology. This sensor allows the Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 laptop to detect user's presence and automatically wake up, letting the user to log in to the system using Windows Hello face recognition, without having to do anything. Dell calls the feature ExpressSign-in. The same sensor also detects when user is stepping away and the laptop locks itself to ensure security.

Oracle’s alliance with Microsoft halts dead-end cloud strategy

Oracle Corp. announced Wednesday that it has secured a cloud-computing alliance with Microsoft Corp., an acknowledgment the database giant’s go-it-alone approach to the cloud wasn’t working.

The software makers will connect their data centers so mutual customers can more easily use cloud services from both companies, Redwood City, California-based Oracle said in a statement. Clients can run applications on Microsoft’s Azure cloud that are tethered to databases on Oracle Cloud. A single login will let customers access either system, the companies said.

The move by Oracle is bigger than the technical details may suggest. At Satya Nadella’s Microsoft and elsewhere in the cloud landscape, broad partnerships are a common way to fuel demand by letting clients connect critical systems built by different vendors. That strategy has helped Microsoft thrive as the No. 2 provider of computing power and storage, behind Amazon.com Inc.’s Amazon Web Services, as more companies move their data to the cloud. But that hasn’t been Oracle’s way. The company, led by Chairman Larry Ellison, has limited tie-ups with Microsoft and other rivals — and its revenue has contracted for the last two quarters.

Oracle’s decision also is a defensive maneuver meant to preserve the company’s lucrative database business and make its software applications more attractive to companies interested in moving more of their information technology needs to cloud services like Microsoft’s Azure.

“With this partnership, our joint customers can migrate their entire set of existing applications to the cloud without having to re-architect anything, preserving the large investments they have already made,” Don Johnson, the executive vice president of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, said in the statement.
