Hubble Telescope, 30 Years Observe Space

Gambar
Friday (4/24) marks 30 years since the Hubble Telescope, the first optical telescope in space, was sent into orbit. Hubble was launched into orbit by boarding the shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990 and then being positioned by the shuttle crew. The telescope, which took the name of American astronomer Edwin Hubble, was made because astronomers in the US space agency NASA wanted an observatory that was free of the Earth's atmosphere and the light produced by humans. But the initial excitement about Hubble soon turned to disappointment when it was discovered that the Telescope's primary mirror was made incorrectly, thus obscuring hubling's optics. Space shuttle astronauts have visited Hubble five times, from 1993 to 2009, to improve and improve the 13-meter observatory. This improvement came to fruition soon, and since then, Hubble has made more than 1.4 million significant observations and findings. Among other things, Hubble proved the existence of a very massive black hol

Australia will Force Google, Facebook to Pay for News Content

Australia says Facebook and Google will soon have to pay news media for their content. Finance Minister Josh Frydenberg announced Monday (20/4) that the government monitoring organization, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), will launch a mandatory code of conduct next July that will discuss disparities between the news media and internet giant companies in terms of online advertising revenue. Facebook and Google accept almost all online advertisements spent in Australia. The new rules will be enforced following 18 months of talks with US technology companies about voluntary codes of conduct failing to produce an agreement. Australia will be the third Western country to implement such a plan, following similar steps by Spain and France. Australian media companies lost millions of advertising revenue in the last month alone due to the Corona virus pandemic. Facebook issued a statement that the company was  "disappointed " by the government's decision

Artificial Intelligence in Technology Will Increase Unemployment?

Gambar
Many people worry that increasing the use of robots in our daily lives will only increase the amount of unemployment. Many advantages possessed by robots, for example, can work without stopping, never complaining or asking for salary. An example of using robots that have taken over thousands of human jobs is in the car industry. When we go to a modern car factory, most of the work is done by robots, from printing parts of car bodies, welding and assembling to painting cars. All of that work was done by humans, but robots can do it more quickly and efficiently. There are obviously workers or laborers affected by this automation. But This is not the first, and certainly not the last. Still remember the telephone system in the 1950s? When It is to call someone, the owner of the telephone at home picks up the receiver and he will be connected to the operator at the telephone office. This will connect your telephone to the telephone number requested. Since then telephone technology has cont

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make an extra income. Once you have everything all set up and ready to go, you can begin making an income from your efforts. Affiliate marketing is when someone else pays you a commission or a percentage of what you sell for them. For example, a coffee business may pay you 10% on all sales that you make for them. This is how it works: When a business decides that they would like to have some help selling their product or service, they will then start an affiliate program. When they do this, they are allowing others to sign up and sell their products or a particular service that they are offering. The ones that sign up to the affiliate program have multiple ways that they can market the service or the product that we will get into later.
