Musk to step down as Twitter CEO once he finds ‘someone foolish’ enough as successor

Image
Billionaire Elon Musk said on Tuesday he will step down as chief executive of Twitter Inc once he finds a replacement, but will still run some key divisions of the social media platform. “I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software & servers teams,” Musk wrote on Twitter. Tesla Inc’s shares TSLA-Q, which have lost about 60% of their value since Musk made the offer for Twitter back in April, rose about 1% on Wednesday. Musk’s $44 billion takeover of Twitter in October has been marked by chaos and controversy, with some investors questioning if he is too distracted to also properly run his electric-vehicle automaker Tesla, in which he is personally involved in production and engineering. This is the first time Musk has mentioned stepping down as chief of the social media platform, after Twitter users voted for him to resign in a poll, which the billionaire launched on Sunday evening. In the poll, 57.5% of a...

Bank of Canada to raise rates by 25 basis points to peak of 4.5% on Jan. 25, poll suggests

Image
The Bank of Canada will hike its key interest rate by a modest quarter point to 4.50 per cent on Jan. 25 and then hit pause on an aggressive tightening campaign, according to a Reuters poll of economists, with risks skewed toward a higher peak. Inflation, which clocked 6.3 per cent in December, is still more than three times the bank’s 2 per cent target and is expected to remain above it at least through Q3 2024, despite a median 65 per cent chance of recession within a year, up from 51 per cent in the last poll. That leaves the BoC in a tight spot, having been inclined to pause its rate-hiking campaign in December but with recent economic data on jobs and inflation suggesting it may not be quite done. A strong majority of 90 per cent of economists, 26 of 29, expected a quarter-point rise on Jan. 25 to 4.50 per cent, according to a Jan. 17-20 Reuters poll, in line with interest rate futures. The other three expected no change. The BoC has hiked rates by a cumulative 400 basis points ...

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
