Top technology new for the week are as follows <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>1.) Record Breaking Stay in Space By Christina Koch <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA astronaut Christina Koch has finally come home after a 328-day ordeal in an International Space Station with two more colleagues.&nbsp;Seeing her smile and giving thumbs up, Christina has set the record for the longest single space flight and also added another jewel to the recent achievements by female astronauts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"628\" src=\"http:\/\/www.legendshub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/nuro.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.legendshub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/nuro.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.legendshub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/nuro-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.legendshub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/nuro-768x471.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>NASA astronaut Christina Hammock Koch, a member of the International Space Station (ISS) expedition 59\/60, attends her final exam at the Gagarin Cosmonauts&#8217; Training Centre in Star City outside Moscow on February 20, 2019. &#8211; NASA astronauts Christina Hammock Koch and Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin are preparing for the launch onboard the Soyuz MS-12 spacecraft from the Russian-leased Kazakh Baikonur cosmodrome on March 14, 2019.

This is not the first time an astronaut has landed in the barren\nlandscape of Kazakhstan, not far from the infamous Soviet-era Gulag labor camp\nand remote enough, that locals only show up on horsebacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the retirement of Space Shuttle Fleet in 2011, NASA\npays Russia more than 80 million dollars a seat for rides to International\nSpace Stations. The astronauts are launched on Russian rockets from Baikonur\nCosmo drome and return in a Soyuz spacecraft. But now NASA soon hopes to return\nhuman spaceflights to American soil and celebrate the next Chapter from Florida\nCanaveral, the birthplace of American Space Age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christina\u2019s long stay in space broke the record of Peggy\nWhitson (2017). She stayed about 288 days in space on a single mission and came\nwithin two weeks of record for a single spaceflight by an American. Whitson\nstill hold the record for total days in space by any NASA astronaut at 665. And,\nshe was really proud of Koch and said, \u201cI am always happy that we at NASA are\nbreaking records. This means we\u2019re moving forward. I think it\u2019s good it\u2019s a\nsign of progress and I love it\u201d who has now retired from the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A point came where Koch\u2019s mission was being considered for an\nextension but it deferred because it was in the best interest of the program to\nfollow the schedule and optimize the use of space stations. She was a scientist\nfrom North Carolina who joined the astronaut corp in 2013, the first ever class\nwhere women exceeded men in number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In October, Koch and Jessica Meir performed the 1<sup>st<\/sup> all-female space walk when they stepped out of the space station to repair a faulty charger. Christina spent 42 hours and 15 minutes outside the station in all.&nbsp;However, at NASA and in aerospace industry women remain an overwhelming minority even after all the high-profile milestones and record-breaking achievements. Ellen Stofan, a Former Chief Scientist at NASA adds, \u201cWomen still have along way to go\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This achievement by Koch comes as NASA celebrates its 20 years contribution of continuous human presence on the space stations, some 240 miles above Earth. Christina had been in numerous scientific experiments like mustard green, combustion, bio-printing and Kidney disease but was eager to come back in nature. She said she missed the Sun and eating with fork and knife. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.)  <strong><em>LinkedIn CEO Steps Down <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- Quick Adsense WordPress Plugin: http:\/\/quickadsense.com\/ -->\n<div class=\"2c935cf620b701aabbb7cc90bbf4023c\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<script>\r\n  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({\r\n    google_ad_client: \"ca-pub-5554449970657557\",\r\n    enable_page_level_ads: true\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>The CEO of LinkedIn Jeff Weiner is stepping down not to go\naway but to join again as the LinkedIn Executive Chairman and his shoes are\nbeing filled in by Ryan Roslansky, a Senior VP of product at Microsoft owned\ncompany and the two seem to have a similar vision that is, to continue the\ncompany\u2019s work to limit bias among its users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"970\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/www.legendshub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/nuro-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.legendshub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/nuro-1.jpg 970w, https:\/\/www.legendshub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/nuro-1-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.legendshub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/nuro-1-768x356.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><figcaption>Linked CEO Jeff Weiner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to WIRED Weiner told, \u201cthat it felt it was the\nright time and the sense of purpose, the vision has become so inextricably\nlinked with his own sense of purpose. Whereas, Roslansky said that he did not\naccept the job of CEO to change the company but because he couldn\u2019t believe\nmore in LinkedIn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2019 the revenue growth of LinkedIn grew up to 24% that is from 1.7 billion in 2018 to 2.1 billion in 2019.&nbsp;Now Weiner as the executive chairman plans to focus on preventing \u201cnetwork bias \u201con LinkedIn Network bias means or refers to people hiring and interacting with others who have similar backgrounds and education. He also quoted, \u201cthe opportunity for me to continue work with (Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella) and the Microsoft leading team in pursuit to help billions to gain economic opportunity adds an exciting dimension. \u201c <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Mr. Roslansky would be under the lens as to how he operates. WIRED said he has taken the initiatives in LinkedIn\u2019s decision to disallow political ads from the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;3.) Pizza Delivery?

Nuro\nInc. took a few years to overhaul, federal laws for speed deployment of\nself-driving vehicles, including the 75 auto safety standards in order to win\nthe regulators\u2019 approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the NHTSA agency, issued the approval with such\nexemptions because the R2 is a classified low speed neighborhood vehicle that\nit does not need to meet all the safety requirements of a traditional vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Technology News for the week (2-07-2020) - Cloud and Tech Tutorials\" width=\"631\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l704GvdaoVU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Technology News<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<!-- Quick Adsense WordPress Plugin: http:\/\/quickadsense.com\/ -->\n<div class=\"2c935cf620b701aabbb7cc90bbf4023c\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<script>\r\n  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({\r\n    google_ad_client: \"ca-pub-5554449970657557\",\r\n    enable_page_level_ads: true\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">Hello Guys, Welcome to Legendshub Blog.
