"If I had to bet, I'd say that this might be one of the worst downturns that we've seen in recent history," Zuckerberg told workers in a weekly employee Q&A session, audio of which was heard by Reuters. Meta has reduced its target for hiring engineers in 2022 to around 6,000-7,000, down from an initial plan to hire about 10,000 new engineers, Zuckerberg said. Meta confirmed hiring pauses in broad terms last month, but exact figures have not previously been reported. In addition to reducing hiring, he said, the company was leaving certain positions unfilled in response to attrition and "turning up the heat" on performance management to weed out staffers unable to meet more aggressive goals. "Realistically, there are probably a bunch of people at the company who shouldn't be here," Zuckerberg said. "Part of my hope by raising expectations and having more aggressive goals, and just kind of turning up the heat a little bit, is that I think some of you might decide that this … [Read more...] about Meta slashes hiring plans, girds for ‘fierce’ headwinds

A group of young people in Saigon are offering a different perspective on the city with their two-wheeled tours. Founded by Vo Hoang Phuc, Saigon Morning Ride has so far led about 100 tours across Saigon, the former name of Ho Chi Minh City but still popularly used now. “The more [tours] we do, the more interesting things we find in Saigon. Who said there was nothing exciting in Saigon?” Phuc said. Though Phuc believes it to be a shame that so few people are aware of all the interesting things to do in the city, he hopes to offer insights into Saigon’s hidden gems with tours of the city’s alleys, ancient tombs, rice roads, graffiti, Oc Eo Relic, and nighttime haunts.

A Vietnamese eleventh grader has completed creating an electric vehicle that has basic parts of an ordinary car and can carry two people at the maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour. The 400-kilogram automobile, which harks back to the vintage Volkswagen Beetle design, was made by Ngo Viet Cuong, a student at Tong Van Tran High School in Nam Dinh Province, near Hanoi. Cuong has been interested in playing with engines and mechanical equipment since he was a little kid. His father, Ngo Van Ngoc, said the son had fun with new toys only for a few days before taking them apart and putting them back together. The child also tried fitting machine parts into tools he found in his father’s automobile repair shop. When Cuong grew older, he learned the basic workings of automobile engines while helping his father with sundry jobs in the garage. In grade ten, the student told his parents that he wanted to make a car of his own but … [Read more...] about Vietnamese eleventh grader builds VW Beetle-style electric car

Victory gained by blood As soon as Pol Pot force took power in Cambodia in April 1975, they set their face against the Cambodian people and their revolutionary cause, killing millions of people, destroying all social bases and driving Cambodia toward genocidal disaster. More seriously, they trampled on the good values of the traditional solidarity and friendship between the two countries and the two peoples of Vietnam and Cambodia, by waging a bloody war, seriously encroaching upon Vietnam’s territory, and causing heinous crimes against the Vietnamese people. Responding to the urgent call of the Kampuchean United Front for National Salvation and the Cambodian people and implementing President Ho Chi Minh’s thought of “Helping our friends is helping ourselves,” the Vietnamese Party, State, military and people stood alongside with the Cambodian armed forces and people to crush down on the Pol Pot regime while exercising their legitimate right to self-defense to protect the … [Read more...] about Part 2: A war of justice

Nguyen Bang Lang, in charge of sustainable development at AEON Vietnam The convenience and low cost of plastic packaging are omnipresent in the retail and service industries. What is your opinion on the use of these products? As a Vietnamese person, I’ve witnessed these challenges every day. I have three points on the use of single-use plastics in Vietnam. The first relates to the cheap cost of the material. The cost of plastic including in a product or transaction is barely noticeable, so both seller and consumer should have no difficulty in making decisions to use or not use them. The next point is that the techniques as well as facilities in Vietnam are not yet ready to support businesses in changing to more sustainable alternatives. The final point is that the after-use process has not been developed yet. In detail, we have no standardised system to classify, recycle, or treat the material. So, we don't have anything to support resolving plastic usage. When it comes … [Read more...] about AEON determined to fortify green lifestyle
