<keyword id="18635" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="amazon" source="Orion">Amazon</keyword> has announced to freeze new hirings in its corporate workforce, with the global economy "in an uncertain place". Beth <keyword id="4585658" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="galetti" source="Orion">Galetti</keyword>, Amazon's senior vice president of people experience and technology, confirmed the move in a memo that the company had already begun pausing or slowing hiring in various corporate departments in "recent weeks". "We're facing an unusual macro-economic environment, and want to balance our hiring and investments with being thoughtful about this economy," Galetti wrote. "With fewer people to hire at this moment, this should give each team an opportunity to further prioritise what matters most to customers and the business, and to be more productive," he added. Amazon CEO <keyword id="742297" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="andy-jassy" source="Orion">Andy Jassy</keyword> has been looking for ways to cut costs across the company. "Good companies that last a long period of time, who are thinking about the long term, always have this push and pull. There are some years where they're expanding really broadly. Some years where they're checking in and working on profitability, tightening the belt a little bit," he said recently. Galetti said that the company anticipates "keeping this pause in place for the next few months, and will continue to monitor what we're seeing in the economy and the business to adjust as we think makes sense". "In general, depending on the business or area of the company, we will hire backfills to replace employees who move on to new opportunities, and there are some targeted places where we will continue to hire people incrementally," he noted.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The ElectraMeccanica <keyword id="12575136" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="solo-ev" source="Orion">SOLO EV</keyword> is an electric car that can travel 100 miles on a full charge.</li><li>Yes, it's a one-seater with three wheels, but it has the creature comforts of a full-sized vehicle.</li></ul>Lately, I've been thinking about choices. In the US, there's no shortage of options when you're shopping for a car. You can find an unlimited inventory of four-door sedans, coupes, wagons, trucks, vans — and an overabundance of crossovers and SUVs and (crossover SUV coupes), supply chain crisis and semiconductor chip shortage notwithstanding.But I just wonder if it always makes sense to have four wheels and several empty seats when I'm on the road. What about an in-between car for when I just need to run a quick errand, pick up food, or simply drive solo to my destination? And what if that in-between car could be a clean-energy vehicle I could plug into a wall outlet in my garage?I had a couple weeks in October to think about those questions when I got the keys to a SOLO EV, a three-wheeled, one-seater electric car <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/electrameccanica-solo-ev-electric-vehicle-with-only-one-seat-2021-9">from ElectraMeccanica</a>.<div type="image" title="ElectraMeccanica SOLO EV" height="1875" width="2500" msid="87822697" hostid="261"></div>So, let's get the obvious out of the way: yes, the SOLO EV looks quirky. People often stopped to take pictures of it as it sat in the driveway. One person jokingly asked: "Where's the rest of it?"<div type="image" title="ElectraMeccanica SOLO EV" height="1875" width="2500" msid="87822700" hostid="261"></div>But the more I zipped around Los Angeles in it during the warm early days of fall, the more I wanted to drive. The comfortable, well-bolstered seat, air-conditioning, and Bluetooth audio made the SOLO EV feel like my own personal rocket. It quite easily gets you to an 80 mile-per-hour top speed, which I found to be plenty for the highway. "We've been working to really, truly tune into the personal <keyword id="11894924" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="transportation" source="Orion">transportation</keyword> needs of our customers." That's Kevin Pavlov, the CEO of ElectraMeccanica. He and the company's chief financial officer, Bal Bhullar, sat down with me at an October delivery event where early reservation holders drove away in their own SOLO EVs.Who really needs a one-seater electric car though? It's a fair question. Pavlov said he's confident there is a sizable market for the SOLO, be it as a fleet vehicle for last-mile deliveries, for college campuses, and beyond. "I think the market's going to keep telling us where the niches go and that provides us the time to continue to make more personalized answers," he said.<div type="image" title="ElectraMeccanica SOLO EV" height="1875" width="2500" msid="87822704" hostid="261"></div>We're in the early aughts of an automotive revolution right now. Battery electric vehicles are becoming more popular as automakers introduce new models and governments make plans to phase out internal combustion engines over the next decade. Where you once could count the number of available <keyword id="6358835" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="electric-cars" source="Orion">electric cars</keyword> on one hand, there are now dozens available, and many more in the pipeline. And they're getting less expensive, too. The SOLO EV can be had for $18,500.Thankfully, all of the talk about range anxiety in those early days of the electric car is pretty much moot now. Most electric vehicles can travel at least 200 miles on a full charge.<h2>Range anxiety is overrated, anyway</h2>After a few short trips close to home in the SOLO EV, I started to wonder how far I could stretch its 100-mile range. On the surface it sounds paltry, but considering drivers will mostly use this for short commutes and jaunts about town, 100 miles is truly more than enough.Pavlov summed it up poetically: "Some people will drive 10 miles, some will go 30 miles. Other people want to drive it to work. And some will drive this car to go find themselves."And that's when I had an idea. I thought about the very first car review I did for Business Insider back in 2015 when I drove what was then the brand-new Volvo XC90 <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/2016-volvo-xc90-road-trip-la-to-san-francisco-2015-10">from LA to San Francisco on one tank of gas</a>, and thought I'd try for a long-ish trip in the SOLO EV. Not really to find myself, but to prove that range anxiety is indeed overrated.So I planned to take the SOLO eastward, from LA to the high desert, a roughly 75-mile, one-way drive.Status at the start of the trip: 99% charge.<div type="image" title="ElectraMeccanica SOLO EV" height="1875" width="2500" msid="87822708" hostid="261"></div>The long and short of it is, this electric three-wheeler proved itself to be a fun, capable and versatile ride. I cruised comfortably to the desert, A/C flowing, music playing, in the glorious solitude of my personal battery-powered coach.I pulled up to a drive-thru for lunch with about 26 miles of range to spare.<div type="image" title="ElectraMeccanica SOLO EV" height="1875" width="2500" msid="87822712" hostid="261"></div>Great news for me since the ChargePoint location I planned to visit was just another three miles away.<div type="image" title="ElectraMeccanica SOLO EV" height="1875" width="2500" msid="87822716" hostid="261"></div>Once I arrived, I walked away to enjoy my lunch and visit with family. A little more than two hours later, I returned to find the SOLO EV had regained 90% of its battery charge, more than enough for the 75-mile trip back home.<div type="image" title="ElectraMeccanica SOLO EV" height="1119" width="1492" msid="87822719" hostid="261"></div><h2>Minimalist driving</h2>In a world of automobiles that seem larger and faster than ever, it's nice to slip into something that's anti-all of that. The SOLO EV is large enough (even for my 6-foot-2-inch frame) and quick enough to scoot past gasoline-powered vehicles from a stop, thanks to the instant torque you get from the electric motor.<div type="image" title="ElectraMeccanica SOLO EV" height="1875" width="2500" msid="87822723" hostid="261"></div>And perhaps that idea of "just enough" is indeed suitable for this segment of the micromobility space. All the better if it helps preserve our environment.

The shares of <keyword id="28423" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="vedanta" source="Orion">Vedanta</keyword> on Friday rose 6.5 per cent to Rs 321 a piece on the <keyword id="35140" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="bse" source="Orion">BSE</keyword>. In a span of five days, the mining company had rallied nearly 14 per cent on the back of the company's earnings announcement and heavy volumes. The company last week had announced an expansion of rolled-product capacity at Balco from the existing 50 KTPA to 180 KTPA at a revised cost of Rs 595 crore. With the completion of this project, Balco will be placed in the high-premium product segment. It also said the expansion of Balco smelter capacity from an existing capacity of 580 KTPA to 994 KTPA by way of an expansion project of 414 <keyword id="15432757" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ktpa-smelter" source="Orion">KTPA smelter</keyword>, at a revised cost of Rs 8,094 crore, subject to requisite government approvals. The Mumbai-headquartered had announced revenue during the second quarter with a 20.6 per cent growth to Rs 36,237 crore from Rs 30,048 crore reported a year ago. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (Ebitda) decreased by 24 per cent to Rs 8,038 crore on account of input commodity inflation and lower output commodity prices; partially offset by improved operational performance, hedging gains and foreign exchange gains. During the earnings announcement, <keyword id="150453" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="sunil-duggal" source="Orion">Sunil Duggal</keyword>, Chief Executive Officer, Vedanta, had said "I am pleased to share that we have generated strong free cash flow (pre-capex) of Rs 8,369 crore underpinned by robust operational and financial performance. I am also happy to inform you that Vedanta has entered into the club of top 10 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) ranked global metals and mining companies; ranking sixth globally." The holding company of India's Vedanta -- Vedanta Resources -- had terminated Moody's rating services. Moody's on October 31 had downgraded the corporate family rating of Vedanta Resources to B3 from B2 and senior unsecured bonds rating to Caa1 from B3. While downgrading, Moody's highlighted that Vedanta was yet to find a source of funding for its $900-million bond maturities due in April and May 2023. On Wednesday, the global diversified natural resources company secured a coveted spot among the top 10 global metal and mining companies by ranking sixteenth out of 216 companies globally (98th percentile) and second in Asia Pacific by S&amp;P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment 2022, formerly known as Dow Jones Sustainability Index - DJSI. The shares of the company on Friday closed 6.5 per cent up at 322.60 apiece on the BSE.

The most recent therapeutic development efforts, notably in cancer, focus on the targeted breakdown of <keyword id="15428797" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="dangerous-pathogenic-proteins" source="Orion">dangerous pathogenic proteins</keyword>. In a new study, researchers revealed probable resistance mechanisms and gave insights on how to overcome them. The research was conducted by CeMM, the Austrian Academy of Sciences Research Center for Molecular Medicine, and the University of Dundee (UK) and the findings were published in <keyword id="375964" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nature-Chemical-Biology" source="Orion">Nature Chemical Biology</keyword>. Traditional targeted cancer therapies mainly rely on drugs that bind pathogenic proteins and inhibit their function. The latest development of drugs has brought forward chemical molecules known as degraders, which force the targeted degradation of disease relevant proteins. This method of targeted protein degradation is not only more efficient, but also better at overcoming <keyword id="15428798" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="potential-drug-resistance" source="Orion">potential drug resistance</keyword>. For many years, CeMM Principal Investigator Georg Winter and his research group have been working on further developing this paradigm. Small-molecule degraders work like a glue by recruiting the defective, disease-causing protein to effectors of the cellular waste disposal systems, which are known as E3 ubiquitin ligases. This binding in turn kick-starts the degradation process of the defective protein. Alexander Hanzl, first author and PhD student in the Winter Lab at CeMM, conducted a study to investigate which resistances can arise during the degradation process. He explains, One challenge with degraders is that they have to bind two sites at once - both the defective protein and a protein of our cell's own degradation system, the E3 ligase. It is therefore all the more important to understand the process of binding and ubiquitination in functional detail. Only then can future degraders be modeled in the best possible way. Results confirm clinically observed resistances In their study, the authors identified a variety of mutations on E3 ligases which mediate resistances in cell cultures. These include mutations already identified in patients whose therapy with degraders was unsuccessful. Georg Winter, who supervised the study, explains: We tested a large number of different proteins and degraders. On one hand, we see that some mutations in E3 ligases prevent defective proteins from being recruited. At the same time, however, we see that some of these mutations exhibit high sensitivity to chemically modified degraders. Therefore, mutations can still be targeted by changing the chemical structure of the degrader. In other words, resistances can be overcome. This demonstrates that the results of this study can have clinical relevance as well. Increasing the reach of degraders A number of degrader drugs are currently being tested in clinical trials, and some are already available to patients, especially for various types of blood cancers. The increased understanding of resistance mechanisms enables further improvement of these types of drugs. "Traditional therapeutics that take the approach of blocking an isolated function of a protein only reach about 20 per cent of our proteins. For the other 80% there are no suitable binding sites and as a result, they cannot be targeted. We see great potential in this new generation of drugs using targeted protein degradation to significantly increase the space of targetable proteins and potentially reach the remaining 80 per centof proteins", Winter says. The study results make an important contribution to the improved design of degraders. Cancer patients in particular could benefit from a clinical application of the findings in the future. Alessio Ciulli, professor at the University of Dundee, added, For the first time we have been able to examine at the molecular level how <keyword id="4121085" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="drug-resistance" source="Orion">drug resistance</keyword> emerges by virtue of these E3 ligase mutations. This is extremely important because these findings highlight the mechanism that can anticipate how a patient might respond to these drugs."

Stephenson has designed high-end cars for Ferrari, McLaren, and Maserati, along with more everyday vehicles for BMW, Mini, and Fiat.

Stephenson thinks that good design should reflect the natural world around it, and his main issue with the Cybertruck is that, to his eye, its heavy, angular design rejects nature, rather than embracing it. "The Cybertruck feels cold and isolated like a Mars rover that is protecting you from an almost externally inhospitable environment, yet it cannot protect you from the lifelessness of the outdoors as it somehow still finds a way to seep in," Stephenson said.

The curvy, sculpted Electra makes Tesla's pickup seem "almost repulsive," according to Stephenson. The Cybertruck may feel cutting-edge now, but Stephenson believes it will quickly become dated. He likened it to early PlayStation 1 video game graphics, which seemed realistic at the time, but look low-quality by today's standards. "If technological progress does not march into the future hand in hand with nature, then it is not progress at all," he said. Watch Stephenson's critique of the Cybertruck below:
