Microsoft says GitHub now has a $1B ARR, 90M active users
As part of its earnings call, Microsoft today announced a number of new data points for GitHub, the massively popular code repository service it acquired for $7.5 billion in 2018. According to Microsoft, GitHub now has an annual recurring revenue of $1 billion, up from a reported $200 to $300 million at the time of the acquisition.
The company also announced that the service now has over 90 million active users on the platform, up from 28 million when the acquisition closed and 73 million last November, when Thomas Dohmke replaced Nat Friedman as the service's CEO.
This marks the first time Microsoft has shared any financial data about the service the acquisition closed.
"Since our acquisition, GitHub is now at $1 billion annual recurring revenue and GitHub's developer-first ethos has never been stronger," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in today's earnings call. "More than 90 million people now use the service to build software for any cloud, on any platform -- up three times."
For the most part, Microsoft let GitHub be GitHub since the acquisition closed. Early on, a lot of developers -- and especially open source advocates -- worried that Microsoft would change the way the service operated and reduce its free offerings in order to squeeze more money out of it. But instead, GitHub expanded its free service and has continued to embrace open source and open source developers. Meanwhile, projects like GitHub Copilot probably wouldn't have been possible without the help of Microsoft. And while some users defected to GitLab and other services, the new users numbers speak for themselves.

TechCrunchHyundai and WeRide plan to fuel self-driving with hydrogen in China
While hydrogen is still relatively niched as a fuel for electric vehicles, a startup in China is jumping ahead to embrace it for autonomous driving scenarios. WeRide, one of the most funded robotaxi operators in China with investors including Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, said Tuesday it is joining hands with Hyundai to launch a "self-driving hydrogen-powered vehicle pilot zone" in Guangzhou, the southern metropolis where it's headquartered. The collaboration comes at a time when the research and production of clean hydrogen increasingly becomes a focal point for China, which has been striving to decarbonize its economy.

TechCrunchSingapore may soon require retail investors to take test before trading crypto, prohibit credit cards
Singapore may soon require retail investors to take a test and not use credit card payments and other forms of borrowing for trading cryptocurrencies, the central bank proposed on Wednesday in a series of stringent measures as the island nation looks to make citizens aware of the risks surrounding volatile assets. The Monetary Authority of Singapore said in a set of consultation papers that it’s worried that many retail customers may “not have sufficient knowledge of the risks of trading” digital payment tokens, which may lead them “to take on higher risks than they would otherwise have been willing, or are able, to bear.” The central bank also proposed that crypto firms licensed under the nation's Payments Services Act should not be allowed to lend to retail investors in a move that could topple many firms' businesses.

ReutersSoftware maker SAP's revenue and outlook sends shares higher
STOCKHOLM/BERLIN (Reuters) -Software maker SAP remains on track to meet full-year guidance after its cloud business drove faster than expected quarterly revenue growth, it said on Monday, sending its shares up 4%. Since becoming SAP's sole CEO in 2020, Christian Klein has focused on cloud operations, adopting a subscription-based service model that generates predictable revenue over time rather than the lumpy up-front cash flows from software licences. "We are looking at our plan right now ... we are very confident that we are going to over-achieve our 2025 vision," Klein said on Tuesday.

According to Abbott, the web3 development community is approaching "an inflection point where our own tools are becoming quite powerful," but "that doesn’t mean Reddit is moving off its Web 2.0 cloud servers."

Satellites must pass their signal down to the ground at some point, and in Starlink's case it's pretty much a constant stream.

Visa Inc reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings on Tuesday as more Americans took advantage of a stronger dollar to fly to international destinations and splurge on shopping and entertainment. Upbeat earnings from Visa and rival American Express further underscore the strength in U.S. consumer spending, which has largely managed to shrug off worries over inflation and rising interest rates. However, Visa said the skyrocketing greenback does not bode well for the American tourism industry, which relies on a big portion of its revenue from international travelers.

These 2 Big 8% Dividend Stocks Are Proven Long-Term Winners
The stock market had a good day today. The S&P has gained 1.63% and moderated its year-to-date losses to 19%. That rally has pushed the index up just out of bear territory. Despite these gains, at least one major bear believes that the index hasn’t bottomed out yet. Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley’s chief US equity strategist, sees more room for the index to fall, and predicts that the S&P will hit its low point somewhere between 3,000 and 3,200 – a drop that would mean another 20% loss for stocks.
