Tesla layoff storm continues: this time spread to subsidiaries
CNBC cited six former Tesla subsidiary SolarCity’s former and current employees, saying that Tesla’s wave of dismissal has spread to SolarCity.
Earlier this month, some SolarCity employees stated that they were surprised to be informed that they had been dismissed for poor performance. The employees stated that Tesla did not perform any performance assessment after the acquisition of SolarCity. A former Tesla employee estimated that about 1,200 Tesla and SolarCity employees were fired during this wave of dismissal.

Memory sticks skyrocketing South Korea benefits China's memory chips must be strong
Since last year, the prices of storage products such as SSDs, memory sticks, and flash memory cards have skyrocketed, and an 8GB DDR4 memory has soared from about 200 yuan in the first half of 2016 to more than 900 yuan today. Even if the rate of rising house prices has been criticized, it cannot compare with the rate of increase in memory. Behind the price increase is the strong rise of Korean companies such as Samsung and SK Hynix.
China's experience of being subject to humans in the field of memory chips is tragic. All along, Western countries have been strict guard against China in terms of high technology. Even if it is a storage chip technology that is not too high in technological content, foreign governments also impose strict restrictions on China. Judging from a series of unsuccessful acquisition cases in the past, Chinese capital would not be able to obtain access to the memory chip market through overseas mergers and acquisitions. It is imperative for China’s capital to become self-reliant in the struggle for the memory chip’s major powers in order to achieve industrial development independent of humans. .
Microsoft announces the suspension of production of Kinect but the technology is still used for other devices
Microsoft has announced the suspension of production of its Kinect gaming console because the company could not find a suitable location for this once revolutionary device. Kinect's founder Alex Kipman and Xbox's general manager Matthew Lapsen have confirmed Microsoft's decision. Of course, Microsoft did not stop trying before. After equipping the Xbox 360 with a 3D camera, the company began selling Kinect with the new Xbox One, but eventually gave up on bundled sales. Gamers seem to prefer the traditional gaming experience.
Of course, this does not mean that Kinect has never had an exciting success. When this device debuted in 2010, it was truly revolutionary, and Microsoft successfully shipped about 35 million units. The product's depth sensing and speech recognition created a new era of interactive gaming, far exceeding what Nintendo did on Wiimotes four years ago. The function of Kinect is also far beyond the console. It is a relatively inexpensive, easily accessible tool that has become the darling of the DIY community and has spawned a Kinect hacking technique. From Project Tango to iPhone X, depth sensing technology has entered many devices, and Microsoft is also applying it to current and future products.
Following Ali and Baidu, Suning teamed up with BYTON to get involved in Internet car
Internet giants such as Alibaba and Baidu are rushing to deploy the Internet automobile industry. In the future, smart cars will connect roads, vehicles, and offline stores to become terminals that connect smart living.
Recently, Suning has also joined the “pioneer force†of the Internet smart car, hand in hand the intelligent electric car brand BYTON Baiteng, entered the field of Internet smart car, reached a wide range in smart car product layout, industrial cooperation, high-end car sales, smart retail, etc. Cooperation.
Toshiba did not plan to sell chip business in time to avoid delisting or plan B
Recently, Toshiba said that the company is considering various countermeasures to prevent the company from being delisted by the Tokyo Stock Exchange for two consecutive years of insolvency.
Previously, Toshiba’s shareholders’ meeting approved the company’s transfer of the flash memory “Toshiba Storage Corporation†to a consortium led by Bain Capital, a private equity investment company in the United States, for a price of 2 trillion yen (about US$17.5 billion). However, this does not guarantee that Toshiba will complete the transaction by the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018.
Toshiba chief executive Satoshi Tsunakawa said, “Although the final plan has not yet been finalized, it is an indisputable fact that we are considering other measures.†However, market analysts believe that Toshiba may invest in Bain Capital and other investors. The first is to issue hundreds of billions of yen (approximately billions of dollars) of preferred stock, or to require creditor banks to convert debts.
