American carmaker Tesla announced on Saturday that the first example of its Cybertruck electric pickup had rolled off the production line at its mega-factory in Texas, in the southern USA.
 
First Cybertruck built in Giga Texas,” tweeted the company, posting a photo showing the vehicle surrounded by dozens of people wearing yellow safety vests and hard hats in what appears to be a hangar.
 
Tesla and Twitter boss Elon Musk reposted the message with the comment: “Congrats Tesla Team ».
 
In April, the automaker had stressed that production of this pickup was “on track” to begin, as planned, sometime this year at its new plant in Texas.
 
The futuristic-looking machine, a kind of metal shell with rather unusual angular lines, was unveiled in November 2019.
 
His presentation caused quite a stir when an employee, in an attempt to demonstrate the machine’s rock-solid sturdiness, smashed through an armored window with a steel sledgehammer, prompting Elon Musk to swear. A second attempt damaged another window.
  
Two days after the vehicle’s unveiling, Tesla reported that it had received nearly 150,000 pre-orders, which required – and still require – an initial refundable payment of just $100.
 
In May, Elon Musk indicated that the goal was to manufacture 250,000 per year, stressing that this figure could double as its price makes it affordable.
At launch, the Cybertruck – which can go from 0 to 100 km/h in less than three seconds, according to Tesla’s website – was to be available in three models, from $39,900 and 400 km range for the entry-level model, to $69,900 and 800 km range for the top-of-the-range model.

The Evolution of Digital Nomadism, Magnate Daily
Reading Time: 3 minutes

During the last years, work from home and digital nomadism have become globally more and more popular. A digital nomad is a person who works remotely and his or her work could be freelance or location-independent and at the same time travels often, having a nomadic lifestyle.

There is an increased use of video conferencing solutions such as Zoom and portable WiFi connection means that individuals can perform their duties effectively regardless of location. In Global tourism, open spaces referred to as co-working areas are available to support remote workers. Now there are many applications such as slack and trello to manage communication and share files with individuals who are in different locations. It has created the conditions for location-free work, thus opening new opportunities for the use of technology.

The COVID-19 really boosted this trend further. Thus, while the phenomenon of working on one’s personal growth began initially out of necessity during the lockdown, it became possible to continue with it into the future. Pandemic forced working remotely According to a Gallup survey more than fifty percent of the white-collar workers in the US worked from home during the pandemic. Some of the giants in the field of technology such as Automattic, GitLab, and Coinbase are among the organizations that have transitioned to complete remote work. This shift has bestowed more professionals the liberty to work while on the move.

It is not a big shock that countries with a lower cost of living and exotic climates are among the most popular among digital nomads. The 2022 index of nestpick has revealed that Lisbon, Porto, Athens, Tenerife, Riga, Bali, Prague, Dubrovnik, Bangkok, and Budapest are the ten most popular digitally nomadic cities in the world. To compete with these platforms, governments are also emerging with digital nomad and remote work visas. Estonia began issuing a digital nomad visa in 2019. Barbados, Croatia, Iceland, Argentina and Thailand have also come up with such the long-term visas for remote workers.

Companies such as Outsite and Roam offer fully equipped houses, working spaces with a very fast internet connection and various events and co-working meetings for people working remotely across the world. New startups such as Tandem are co-living as a Turing startup into an experience. They also use WiFly app to engage other nomads and Couchers app to look for hosts or guests for home stay anywhere in the world. Two of the most known websites for reviews, tools, and advice on how to plan your remote work trips are such platforms as The Nomad List, Honeypot, and Workfrom. There are existing nomadic communities online, such as closed groups on Facebook like the Digital Nomad Girls to keep travelers connected around the world.

But, as with any bright-side presented in commercials, the glamorous life of a digital nomad is not without its problems. Frequently flying across time zones interferes with circadian rhythms, and thus the productivity of the business travelers is affected. It is challenging to balance work, life, and responsibilities for any family without structures. However, as with all the technological interlinkage, constant migration only serves to deepen the feeling of isolation. Creating digital wellbeing schedules which include batching periods where work is inaccessible, co-working restricted to certain hours, exercise, and journaling is necessary.

Despite what we have just seen about the extent of the mobility that currently exists in the world people are still restricted from entering many countries because of visas. Health insurance also becomes an area that is in transition constantly. They also have certain ethical implications which Location-independent living brings to the environment. Thus, it is crucial to engage in purposeful travel to reduce the negative effects of the overcrowding, especially when following sustainable tourism practices.

In the future, nomads will have an even deeper immersion into the target culture and become part of local communities as they will no longer solely rent spaces for living. There are likely to be even more people choosing new ‘multi-homed’ lifestyles that involve spending one month of their time experiencing rootedness and another month of mobility. While beautiful places will still entice remote employees, the dream places will be selected more purposefully with respect to values and the type of experiences that they wish to create.

As global connectivity continues to expand through the advancement of fiber and wireless networks, there still exist gaps that marginalize vulnerable populations and hinder the progression of society as a whole. Fortunately, there are promising alternatives on the horizon that aim to bridge these divisions through ambitious satellite ventures, providing internet directly from orbiting satellites. This concept, known as “Outernet”, represents a future where unprecedented access leads to shared understanding and collaborative advancement based on the principles of egalitarian care.

The pioneers of Outernet are deploying constellations of cube satellites that transmit narrowband internet signals, captured by portable ground stations. These satellites are strategically positioned in orbit to maximize coverage, ensuring connectivity even in polar regions and areas where terrestrial cables fall short. The compact size of these cube seats allows for scalability and regular replenishments to maintain services as hardware ages, all while adhering to sustainable practices under close technical supervision.

In addition to overcoming technical challenges, Outernet’s transmission protocols intelligently manage signals to navigate interference and atmospheric fluctuations across satellites. International standards are in place to ensure fair accessibility, promoting shared understanding over monopolization tendencies. As a result, Outernet emerges as a platform that facilitates widespread communication, promoting balanced outreach and fostering societal growth in a volatile orbital environment.

Initial implementations of Outernet have already provided vital connections to isolated researchers in polar regions and disaster-stricken areas, previously starved of information. The provision of narrowband internet has facilitated coordination in critical situations, demonstrating the potential of such technology to save lives and foster reciprocity in times of need.

Furthermore, the expansion of internet access in rural areas has empowered small businesses, education initiatives, and civic engagement, aligning with age-old principles of responsible sharing and abundance. In crises, Outernet provides swift and balanced relief efforts through disaster warnings and military communications, showcasing its potential as a preserver of life and coordinator of outreach guided by the spirit of cooperation rather than competition.

Nevertheless, the proliferation of digital connectivity brings forth technical and ethical dilemmas, especially when addressing the needs of digitally disconnected populations. Indigenous communities, in particular, face challenges in navigating the dissemination of information while preserving cultural values, viewing these tensions not as limitations but as opportunities for cultural enrichment and shared progress.

Meanwhile, the responsible stewardship of orbital environments is paramount as Outernet continues to expand its reach. By adhering to international norms and monitoring the removal of defunct satellites, this initiative strives to protect delicate ecosystems and uphold philosophical principles that guide sustainable progress for all. Outernet’s applications are designed to be balanced and spiritually enriching, acting as vessels for advancement while maintaining a deep respect for humanity’s collective flourishing amid societal changes.
