Bill Gates' climate investment fund is moving forward with plans to funnel billions of dollars into emerging green technologies. This week, the fund, Breakthrough Energy, put out a Request for Proposals for projects in Europe through Breakthrough Energy's Catalyst program. It comes after the Catalyst program released its first RFP for similar projects in the US last month.

The Catalyst program, launched last June with the aim of enabling a zero-carbon economy through public-private partnerships, says it has fundraised $1.5 billion over the past six months and hopes to raise $3 billion by the middle of next year. It plans to use that money to boost four different kinds of technologies: green hydrogen fuels, sustainable aviation fuels,...

Block, the payment company formerly known as Square, is working on building an "open Bitcoin mining system," its CEO Jack Dorsey has announced. In a thread, Block's general manager for hardware Thomas Templeton outlined the company's goals for the system, which is for it to be easily available, reliable, performant, and relatively power efficient compared to its hashrate.

The overall aim is to make mining more decentralized, in turn making the overall Bitcoin network more resilient. As the cryptocurrency's value has increased, and it's become more challenging to mine without economies of scale, there have been fears that the network has become centralized on too small a group of miners. Making mining more decentralized is "a long-term...

While Slack began as a workplace instant-messaging tool, over the last few years it has become popular as a way for anyone to keep in contact with a group of friends, colleagues, or family. It now even offers a way for groups to create in-the-moment "huddles," in which two or more people can move from text to audio — if you're on a paid plan.

Although Slack is largely intended for group collaboration, it also has tools if you just want to chat one-on-one with somebody. Here, we're going to go over some of the ways you can have a private text, audio, or video conversation with one other person via the free version of Slack.

Microsoft's board of directors is hiring a law firm to review the company's policies on sexual harassment and discrimination after years of complaints of wrongdoing at the company. The review, which will be conducted by law firm Arent Fox, will include a public transparency report "assessing the effectiveness of the company's workplace sexual harassment and gender discrimination policies, training, and related policies."

It will also include an assessment of Microsoft's previous investigation into allegations against the company's co-founder and former CEO Bill Gates. GeekWire reports that this review won't reinvestigate Gates' affair with a company employee in the year 2000. Bill Gates resigned from the Microsoft board in March 2020,...

Google TV's director of product management Rob Caruso has outlined what the company's plans are for its TV operating system in 2022 in a new interview with Protocol. While Caruso stopped short of making any specific feature announcements, he said that the company is interested in offering fitness and video conferencing services though Google TV, and better smart home controls.

Caruso called fitness a "big area of exploration," and cited Android's recent smart home control changes (which, for example, made them easily accessible from a phone's power menu) as a clue for what might come to Google TV. Zoom was cited as a potential addition to the platform (Google's own Duo video calling service is already available), and he said Google is...

Hackers attacked a number of Ukrainian government websites on Friday, temporarily disabling sites and leaving messages warning readers to "be afraid and expect the worse."

A spokesperson for Ukraine's foreign ministry described the incident as a "massive cyber attack," according to reports from Bloomberg and Sky News, but noted that no content on the sites had been altered and no personal data had been leaked.

Websites for the government's cabinet, security and defense councils, and ministry for education were among those affected. "Our specialists are already working on restoring the work of IT systems, and the cyber police opened an investigation," said the spokesperson.

Giga Texas Belt Buckle now costs 835 DOGE.

Tesla now lets customers buy select items of merchandise using Dogecoin, the company's CEO Elon Musk has announced. Products buyable with the meme-based cryptocurrency include the Cyberquad for Kids (12,020 doge / around $2,320), the Giga Texas Belt Buckle (835 doge / around $161) and the Cyberwhistle (300 doge / around $58). Business Insider notes that Dogecoin was up 16 percent to around $0.20 following the news.

The initiative was initially announced by Musk on Twitter on December 14th when he said that the company would "see how it goes" with the cryptocurrency payment option. It's unclear if or when Tesla might eventually accept payment for its vehicles in Dogecoin, which Musk has previously said may be his favorite cryptocurrency.

Tesla has never been fantastic at meeting deadlines, so it's not too surprising that the company's ambitious electric pickup — the Cybertruck — is running a little late. Recently, reference to a 2022 production schedule was scrubbed from its website, and Reuters is now reporting that production of the vehicle won't begin until the first quarter of 2023.

The Cybertruck was originally announced in 2019, with Tesla promising that the vehicle would be rolling off production lines in late 2021. Then, in August that year, full production was delayed to some time in 2022. Now, that deadline seems to have been waived, too.

Changes to the Cybertruck order page were first spotted by Edmunds. The site originally told buyers: "You will be able to...
