Nvidia’s deal with the South Korean government is estimated to be worth billions of dollars. Its government-owned AI startup, Humain, has committed to deploying up to 600,000 Nvidia chips: when that deployment will involve actual purchases, and at what price, is again undisclosed.

‘Wrongfully dismissed, faced discrimination’: Indian man wins case against KFC outlet superior in UK; to get £70k compensation
Problems, however, began soon after he started.The situation escalated in July when Kajan tried to make Ravichandran work excessive hours, prompting him to resign. He was ‘summarily dismissed’ while serving out his notice and was denied his statutory right to one week’s notice,” the tribunal’s judgment read.“The respondent did not show that the claimant had done anything to entitle it to dismiss him without notice. The claimant was, therefore, wrongfully dismissed and is entitled to be paid one week’s pay in lieu of notice,” it stated.Ravichandran was awarded £62,690 in compensation, with additional payments for holiday pay and employment-related particulars bringing the total to around £66,800 (approx. Rs 81 lakh).The tribunal also directed Nexus Foods Limited, which operates the West Wickham KFC outlet, to implement a training programme on workplace discrimination for all employees. The programme should include training for managers on the “appropriate handling” of such grievances and must be completed within six months of the judgment.

Taken together, it is hardly surprising retail employment has collapsed by more than 350,000 in the past decade. Employment costs are up; access to immigrant labour is down, and workforce participation has fallen amid rising levels of ill-health and early retirement. In the early 19th century, factory owners investing in steam-driven power looms, knitting frames and mill engines fuelled a productivity boom.
