Telegram CEO Says He'll Leave Fortune To 100 Kids Born Via Sperm Donation

Telegram founder Pavel Durov has revealed plans to divide his nearly $20 billion fortune among 100 children he fathered through sperm donations. According to Durov, this arrangement is detailed in his will, which also includes provisions for his six children with three partners. Durov, known for his conflicts with the Kremlin over free speech issues, was charged last year by French authorities for allegedly allowing illegal activities like sex abuse and drug trafficking on his encrypted messaging platform, charges he denies. The billionaire shared these details in an interview with France's Le Point magazine , explaining that the 100 children were born across 12 countries over the past 15 years through sperm donations. When asked about the role of family in his life, Pavel Durov emphasised its great importance. He recently wrote his will, deciding that his children will not have access to his fortune for 30 years. He wants them to live independently, build their paths, and not r...

Software Developer Fired From Startup After 2.5 Months, Reddit Post Viral

Reddit has become a popular platform for employees to share their job struggles, office experiences, and workplace concerns. Various subreddits have emerged where employees can anonymously share their stories, seek advice, and connect with others who face similar challenges. Recently, a Redditor shared their disheartening experience of getting fired only after 2.5 months at a Bengaluru-based startup. In their post, the former employee claimed that they joined the startup as a fresher with 6 months of internship experience. They were hired as a "frontend developer" and were immediately assigned a stack of tasks that left them exhausted. 

"While I was excited to learn, I didn't have any prior experience with backend development," the Redditor wrote. They shared that within a week of joining, they were assigned an internal project, despite the company being client-based. "Around 70% of my work was backend-related," they said, adding, "Some tasks were manageable, but I encountered errors I couldn't solve, including issues that magically resolved themselves the next day. I conveyed every problem I faced in the project's Slack channel, as instructed. Sometimes I got a response, other times I didn't." 

Take a look below: 

Got fired today. Feeling confused and defeated. Need suggestions.

The user alleged that they communicated every challenge they encountered during their stunt to their superior. "PR reviews often took 3-4 days, which delayed my work and progress, but somehow, the questions and delays were always directed back at me. After working for 2.5 months, I received a message out of nowhere from a board member saying they couldn't continue with me," they said. 

The Redditor claimed that they tried explaining their side of the story to the management, however, their decision was final. "This has left me feeling lost. I'm reflecting on what I could've done better and wondering if I was set up for failure by being assigned tasks I wasn't experienced enough to handle," they wrote. 

"If you've been in a similar situation or have advice, I'd really appreciate hearing from you," the Redditor concluded.

The post was shared a few days back. Since then it has accumulated nearly 500 upvotes.

Reacting to the post, one user wrote, "Don't take it personal to the degree that it affects your self confidence. End of the day they were bad managers themselves that they had no plan in hand and it has come down to this. Use this experience to spot red flags when you find your next company." 

"Expectations were set too high. If you didn't have a person dedicatedly helling you as a fresher, their need was probably of 2-4 years of experience and couldn't afford to dedicatedly help you out. They just didn't want to pay that much and expected you to be able to do it.It's not your fault," commented another. 

"It was a startup, they tend to overwork employees and mostly who stays and who leaves is decided by the upper management which has 0 technical knowledge. Not your fault. It's just if you would have become a full time and gained some exp it would have been good. But then what to do, fate. Find another one and try not to mess up this time," wrote a third user.

Biden Orders US Military To Shoot Down Iranian Missiles Targeting Israel

President Joe Biden has ordered the US military to "aid Israel's defense" and shoot down any and all Iranian missiles targeting Israel, the White House said. President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee in next month's US presidential election, are both monitoring Iran's attack on Israel from the White House situation room, it said. "President Biden directed the US military to aid Israel's defense against Iranian attacks and shoot down missiles that are targeting Israel," the White House said in a statement. A call that Joe Biden had scheduled with rabbis today ahead of the Jewish high holiday season - which begins later this week with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year - had been postponed to another day, a White House official said. The United States and other western allies also stepped in to help defend Israel against a combined Iranian missile and drone attack in April, which Tehran launched in retaliation for an ...

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...
