For Egypt’s Startups, Unstable Government Is the Least of Their Worries
When the Egyptian startup Instabug launched its app last Summer, CEO Omar Gabr couldn't believe how bad their timing was. Inside their office in Egypt's capital, Cairo, they had just put out a beta version of an app that rapidly identifies glitches in software and lets users provide feedback on those glitches, and everyone lavished it with praise. But outside, the streets were jammed with people violently protesting Egypt's government, and the country was in the middle of a military takeover. It's hard to talk about business opportunities when the nation's future is murky at best. Though the riots have somewhat waned since summer, Egypt's political turmoil has been ongoing since January, 2011 and was on display again on Monday after Egypt's interim Prime Minister Hazem Beblawi suddenly announced his own resignation and the resignation of his government. That turmoil has done what you might expect—damaged the economy, harmed international relations—but its effect has also spiraled … [Read more...] about For Egypt’s Startups, Unstable Government Is the Least of Their Worries
Indian traders counter Amazon summit with own event
Thousands of Indian small businesses will organise an event this week in protest at the business practices of foreign e-tailers like Amazon.com Inc , taking a dig at the U.S. group's summit with their own event. Starting Thursday, Amazon is organising a virtual summit in India named "Smbhav", which phonetically means "possible" in Hindi, to showcase opportunities offered by the U.S. firm to get small businesses to expand and sell online. Trader groups representing 600,000 sellers said in a statement they will at the same time launch a summit titled "Asmbhav", or "impossible", including an award ceremony to pin the blame on those who they think have hurt their businesses. Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Indian traders, who are a crucial part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's support base, have long alleged that Amazon and Walmart Inc's Flipkart benefit a few big sellers and that the companies engage in predatory pricing that harms their businesses. … [Read more...] about Indian traders counter Amazon summit with own event
Google introduces Timelapse to Google Earth
Google has worked with the team over Carnegie Mellon University's Create Lab to bring timelapse videos to Google Earth, which the tech giant says is the biggest update the company has made to the platform since 2017. According to Rebecca Moore, Earth Engine and Outreach director of Google Earth, Timelapse has been developed using 24 million satellite images from the past 37 years -- from 1984 to 2020 -- before being compiled into an interactive 4D experience. "Making a planet-sized timelapse video required a significant amount of what we call 'pixel crunching' in Earth Engine, Google's cloud platform for geospatial analysis … it took more than 2 million processing hours across thousands of machines in Google Cloud to compile 20 petabytes of satellite imagery into a single 4.4 terapixel-sized video mosaic -- that's the equivalent of 530,000 videos in 4K resolution," she explained in a blog post . She explained introducing Timelapse is "about zooming out to assess the health and … [Read more...] about Google introduces Timelapse to Google Earth
