Genome’s Global Startup Ecosystem Report. Top 3 leading by performance, funding and talent?
Silicon Valley
New York
London
London claims the third spot
London and Paris are the only two European fintech ecosystems that made it into the top 10, with London claiming the third spot. Whereas, the US has Silicon Valley, New York City, Boston, & Chicago in the top 10.
Talking about how Europe can create more thriving fintech hubs like London & Paris, Ghei says, “This is a little bit a function of where the capital is. NYC, Boston have multiple local funds that have LPs in local university endowments etc. Europe, in that sense, is rather concentrated on sovereign funds and as a result, these 2 cities have born the fruit of sustained investment.”
“In the next 5 years, I see capital allocations changing geographically in Europe, particularly in Central Eastern Europe where the next fintech hub is likely to emerge,” he adds.
Additionally, it is the first instalment of the annual sub-sector report series, and this one ranks in the global top 20, and runner-up, Fintech startup ecosystems. These ecosystems are evaluated on five Success Factors, including Performance, Talent, Funding, Focus and Legacy. The top five Fintech startup ecosystems globally in 2020 are Silicon Valley, New York City, London, Singapore and Beijing, respectively.

I’m going to show you how to enable this ultimate power mode to do that on your keyboard, press Windows button on your keyboard.

When you bought your PC it worked well, and then it started to slow down after a while. Now, there’s many reasons and one of the reasons, why is that is your CPU is throttling. Let me explain what throttling is first.
What is CPU throttling
Here I think of it as the brain and it controls everything inside. Your computer does all the calculations and so on and so forth. You know how when you get a heat stroke you feel slow and lacking energy? Same thing with the CPU when it gets too hot it slows down. Your CPU can recover because it has a built-in program microcode that slows it down. It’s called throttling. What happens is When your CPU is running at a low utilization minds running at 3.9 because it’s doing something right? Now, your normal temperature should be at around 55 to 60 degrees F. I want to see about 55. How do you know if your temperature is at 55 when you don’t have that program?
One thing you can do is download this program called CPU HW Monitor. I’m going to show you that so this is what the CPU might look like. What’s inside the CPU and here it is HW monitor. See that’s the first thing that comes up and you want to do is download this program. You want to install it. I’m going to post this video and you’re going to see the link here: https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor-pro.html
What I recommend you to do is press Ctrl shift and ESC to open up the task manager on a right then go to your performance and look at the CPU utilization. And if you scroll down on the left side, you’re going to see that your CPU under Intel Core i7 (yours might be Intel or AMD or something else) look at the temperature and see how hot it’s running – running at about I don’t know between 50 to 60 degrees, which is fine because It’s doing something I’m not worried about the cooling at all. You can always improve cooling but sometimes it could be running at 60, 70, 80, degrees while not doing anything or a might be doing something. This could be due to malware on your computer, but I’m going to talk about this in the future.
Once again download the hardware monitor see if you CPU is running hot. Look inside your computer and see if that bad boy is looking like it’s full of dust. In that case you may have issues with your fan and may need to replace your fan. We’re going to talk about the cooling you can go you can get one of these fans and added a tad like an exhaust fan to make it a little bit better cool.
Target set a sales record as its same-day fulfillment services grew 273% in the quarter. Both retailers have also invested in online grocery, with Walmart today offering grocery pickup and delivery services, the latter through partners. In Walmart’s case, the pandemic helped drive e-commerce sales up 97% in its last quarter. Target has also just now rolled out grocery pickup and runs delivery through Shipt.
Amazon, naturally, has also benefited from the shift to digital with its recent record quarterly profit and 40% sales growth.
The growth in e-commerce due to the pandemic has set a high bar for what’s now considered baseline growth. In the first quarter of 2020, department store sales and those from other “non-essential” retailers declined by 25%. The shift away from physical stores was already underway, but we’ve now jumped ahead in time as to where we would be if a health crisis had not occurred.
This is a similar trend to what other industries have seen as well, including things like streaming/cord cutting, gaming and social video apps, and more. As the COVID-19 pandemic reshapes our world, more consumers have begun shopping online in greater numbers and frequency. Clothing, for example, declined in importance as more consumers began working and schooling from home, as well as social distancing under government lockdowns. According to new data from IBM’s U.S. However, other categories, including groceries, alcohol and home improvement materials, accelerated, by 12%, 16% and 14%, respectively. The report suggests that department store retailers will need to more quickly pivot to omnichannel fulfillment capabilities in order to remain competitive in the new environment. E-commerce also accounted for 16.1% of total retail sales in Q2, up from 11.8% in the first quarter of 2020.
The questions that IBM’s report aims to answer is how much of this pandemic-fueled online spending is a temporary shift and to what extent is it impacting longer-term forecasts? The answer, at least in this estimate, is that this pandemic pushed the industry ahead by around five years. Retail Index, the pandemic has accelerated the shift away from physical stores to digital shopping by roughly five years. Meanwhile, e-commerce is projected to grow by nearly 20% in 2020.
The pandemic has also helped refine which categories of goods consumers feel are essential, the study found. Specifically, they will need to drive traffic to their stores through services like buy online and pickup in store (BOPIS), and will need to offer an expanded set of ship-from-store services.
Large retailers like Walmart and Target have embraced omnichannel fulfillment to their advantage. According to the Q2 2020 report from the U.S. Both reported stellar earnings this month thanks to their earlier investments in e-commerce. This grew to a 75% decline in the second quarter.
The report indicates that department stores are expected to decline by over 60% for the full year. Department stores, as a result, are seeing significant declines. Census Bureau, U.S. retail e-commerce reached $211.5 billion, up 31.8% from the first quarter, and 44.5% year-over-year.

Why?
— Because more often than not we’d discuss those controversial topics using emotions instead of reason. Those comments, born out of emotional thinking are then left abandoned and forgotten somewhere in the Facebook universe waiting to resurface the next time someone decides to look us up.

Out of a thousand Reasons why you Mac can slow down. One of them is the fact that your apps are misbehaving. I’m going to show you how to identify that app and how to kill it. First you to go to your Spotlight and type activity monitor. Once you do that click on activity monitor and here you can see all the apps that are running go to view and out of all the options click on all processes on the right side. You’re going to see that everything is sorted by CPU if it isn’t click. That once everything sorted by CPU can see which one which app is using the most here you can identify which app is using the most resources and if a certain app is using way more resources than its supposed to you can just go here and kill it. You can do it by highlighting the app like this. I’m going to highlight Google Chrome and you can just click the X to kill it.
So I have been looking into digital marketing positions (mostly those posted on Linkedin) and have noticed that even though there are plenty of positions available, about 90% of them require candidates to have tons of experience, knowledge, passion etc etc while also designating the position as ENTRY LEVEL.The absurdity of this is obvious – most of the recruiters are still rocking that same old mindset “Let’s hire some students to intern for us and we’ll pay them in RedBull”.But laws of supply and demand are changing this trend to the advantage of job seekers.The position title below is Digital Marketing and Social Media Specialist.
