winyy #56 - Weekly innovation newsletter by Yuichiro Yoshinari

winyy Issue #56今週、サンノゼで8名が銃で無差別殺人される事件があり、報道では射殺された犯人は人種差別主義者と言われています。銃犯罪は少ないこのエリアでの事件に驚くばかりです。犠牲になった方への哀悼の意を表します。一番衝撃的だったニュースは、Exxon Mobilの株主総会で株式を0.02%しか保有しない環境アクティビストファンドが推薦する取締役2名が賛成多数で承認されたこと。環境重視の流れはもはや不可逆的と言えます。バイデン政権下で初めての予算案が発表され、脱炭素施策を含む相当の大型予算が提示されました。増税議論と共にどのような展開となるか注視していきたいと思います。テック関連では、Virgin Galacticの宇宙船テストフライト成功、The Boring CompanyのラスベガスでのHyporLoopの試験運用開始、無人自動操縦飛行のMerlin Labsの商業運転開始など、モビリティ系のニュースが目に付きました。Salesforceの好決算・好業績予想が発表され、パンデミック下でクラウドサービスの強さを印象付けました。前号で一番クリックされた記事は、"Off-the-grid homes are coming to your neighborhood, as climate change creates suburban survivalists" 。脱炭素問題の注目度があがっているのを感じます。今週号も気に入ってもらえたら、メールの末尾の「いいね！」ボタンをお願いします！拡散大歓迎。サインナップはこちら。Twitter ---> @winyy2020winyy Issue #56This week, eight people were indiscriminately murdered with guns in San Jose, and reports say that the shooter was a racist. I am amazed at the incident in this area where gun crimes are rare. My condolences go out to the victims.The most shocking news was the majority approval at Exxon Mobil's shareholder meeting of two directors recommended by an environmental activist fund that holds only 0.02% of the company's shares. It can be said that the trend to focus on the environment is now irreversible.The first budget proposal under the Biden administration has been released, and it presents a fairly large budget that includes decarbonization measures. I would be watching closely to see how this develops along with the debate on tax hikes.In the tech sector, I saw a lot of mobility-related news, such as Virgin Galactic's successful test flight of a spacecraft, The Boring Company's start of test operations of HyporLoop in Las Vegas, and the start of commercial operations of Merlin Labs, an unmanned autopilot flight company. Salesforce's good results and forecasts were announced, impressing the strength of cloud services under the pandemic.The most read news last week was "Off-the-grid homes are coming to your neighborhood, as climate change creates suburban survivalists". I feel that the decarbonization issue is getting more and more attention.Please press the 'Like it' button at the end of the email if you like this issue.Sign up page is here.
