Tough Task Awaits Amazon’s New CEO Andy Jassy

Andy Jassy is the new Amazon company chief executive officer (CEO). He currently runs Amazon’s Cloud business and a chairman of the Amazon Web Services (AWS).  He has risen from the cloud to become the CEO of the giant online retail firm. He joined the firm in 1997 and since then he has supervised the company’s rapid-developing cloud computing business.
In the early 2000s, Jassy worked as a technical assistant to the outgoing Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. The change of guard is the biggest transition of leadership since the company’s inception more than 26 years ago.
The appointment of Jassy as the CEO marks the end of speculations that it was either him or Jeff Wilke. Wilke is the CEO of Amazon’s Worldwide Consumer Business. The question is will Jassy maintain the companies performance? Bezos seemed to have set the performance cap so high. 
Bezos has seen the company morph itself from an online bookstore into a gigantic online retail store with a global impact. In early 2020, the firm surpassed the $1 trillion market limit.
Bezos transitions to become the executive chair in the third quarter of 2021. According to Forbes, Bezos founded Amazon when he was working in his garage in Seattle. He is the proprietor of the Washington Post, the Bezos Earth Fund and Blue Origin. 
He leaves the helm of leadership at a time when the firm had just recorded significant growth that saw its net sales rise by 38 percent, bagging a net income of $21 billion within a year. He leaves the company at a time when it’s valued as the most esteemed in the world, reported its third profit in a row.

How Musk's Neuralink Blindsight will allow the blind to see

  Scientists are still stunned by Elon Musk's plan to enable blind people to see, using his Neurolink's Brain Computer Interface chip dubbed Blindsight. Neurolink has already partnered with top Spanish scientists and US Santa Barbara to make a device called Blindsight, a smart Bionic Eye powered by brain implants and AI. Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see. This is enhanced by bypassing the optic nerve and stimulating the visual cortex to create a visual perception. Visual cortex is part of the brain that receives, integrates and processes visual information relayed from the retina.  Blindsigh...

Why President Ruto risks being impeached

President William Ruto is treading a dangerous political path. His recent allegations over bribery in parliament might hound him out of office. The president has found himself in a political quagmire over his public expose on rampant graft in parliament. Legislators drawn from the National Assembly and the Senate were astounded by the manner in which the Head of State exposed their nakedness in the public gallery, instead of initiating prosecution process with the relevant mandated authorities. Majority of MPs were of the opinion that the president should have prosecuted his case with the relevant bodies established by the Constitution tasked to deal with corruption cases. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and his Senate counterpart Amazon Kingi have been directed by a section of MPs to summon the president to shed more light over his aspersions or risk being impeached. Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang' and his Nairobi colleague Edwin Sifuna were irritated by what they...
