The Bihar State Cooperative Bank is conducting recruitment for various posts including Law/Accounts and Crop Husbandry Expert. However, the requirement for online application forms is creating significant barriers for rural residents, sparking a debate on digital divide and equal opportunity.

SpaceX is set to launch 25 Starlink satellites from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, this week. This launch is part of SpaceX's ongoing mission to expand internet access globally. The company has been facing criticism for the potential environmental impact of its satellite launches, particularly the risk of space debris and the visual and acoustic disturbances caused by the rockets and satellites. SpaceX argues that their technology and practices are designed to minimize these impacts, and that the benefits of increased internet access outweigh the risks. The upcoming launch is expected to generate sonic booms, which could be heard along the California coast. This event is drawing attention to the balance between technological advancement and environmental stewardship.
