foodpanda Walks the Extra Mile to Ensure Wellbeing of Heroes amid Covid-19 Outbreak

People continue to lose jobs and experience dwindled incomes in the face of the pandemic. The situation is not favorable for business owners either who also are registering massive losses. foodpanda is no exception in the grim situation, nor are its heroes.

Beta for Elon Musk’s Satellite Internet Expected Within 6 Months

In order to meet the growing needs of higher broadband demand, Elon Musk’s SpaceX is scrambling to roll out its Starlink internet as soon as possible. This week, the company launched a group of 60 satellites making the Starlink broadband a constellation of 400 satellites. According to Musk, the Space Exploration company aims at launching 2,000 satellites in the coming years. On Wednesday, in reply to a Twitter user, Elon Musk detailed that “Private beta begins in ~3 months, public beta in ~6 months, starting with high latitudes.” He also explained that Germany qualifies as far enough north, which means much of northern Europe, Canada, and the northernmost parts of the US may be eligible to try the service. SpaceX’s Starlink satellite constellation works by flying around the Earth in low orbit, passing off the connection between one another. This ensures consistent service is provided to ground stations. The orbit they have acquired is lower than geostationary communications satellit..

Thought Provoking Statistics: Is Pakistan Relatively Insusceptible to Coronavirus?

Novel Coronavirus has proven to be the most inscrutable and malevolent predicament of the modern era. This virus has been on a path of rage since the beginning of the year 2020, crippling the mightiest of forces in its path due to its incomprehensible and sinister nature. In late January this year, the virus started spreading past the borders of China. By mid March, the number of cases began on a steep climb and as of today, the total number of cases world wide is just north of 2.7 million, with over 190,000 lives having been claimed by the disease. However, it seems that the virus has taken a special interest in the more developed parts of the world as the countries that have been the worse for wear, happen to be strong economies, namely, USA, UK, China, Russia and all of the European countries. That is of course, not to say that the virus has a prejudiced approach towards particular regions, but there is certainly an interesting pattern at play here. The numbers suggest in a cryst..

COVID-19 Cases in Pakistan Could Hit 13,000 in a Week, Suggest AI Models

There is a prevailing perception in Pakistan that coronavirus has been contained and things are under control. Background interviews with government high-ups also reveal that officials are content with how the outbreak has panned out over the past few days. However, results from highly data-driven AI models suggest that the threat is still real and the somewhat flattening curve for positive cases over the few days won’t persist for long. Speaking to ProPakistani, a data scientist who is working closely with the government said that the current numbers are mainly a result of tightened lock-down from 15th March to 25th March. The numbers are likely to increase rapidly over the next week due to the fact that people stopped observing strict social distancing after pensions and salaries were disbursed in the first week of April. The scientist, who wanted to remain unnamed as he’s not allowed to speak with media by the government, said that data models are suggesting the outbreak is stil..
