About three-quarters of the roughly 950,000 voters said yes.However, European Union rules say that the bloc's airlines must be at least 50% owned by EU nationals.O'Leary has also been known to make provocative statements to help promote his airline.After Musk compared O'Leary to a chimpanzee on Tuesday, the Ryanair boss responded at the press conference, saying: "I think it's somewhat unfair on the chimp community. But chimp chump, as long as it increases Ryanair bookings through January, February, and March, it's all good fun and entertainment.""It is very good for our bookings," O'Leary also said. "We love these PR spats that drive bookings on Ryanair."The quarrel started last Wednesday after O'Leary told Reuters he wouldn't join other airlines installing Starlink. The following day, he told the Irish radio station Newstalk that it would cost the airline up to $250 million because adding the terminal to a plane would affect its aerodynamics and increase fuel costs.He said this would amount to a 2% increase, but a SpaceX executive said in an X post that it was actually 0.2%.As a budget airline, Ryanair focuses on keeping costs as low as possible to offer cheaper airfares. It turns a profit by keeping its planes flying frequently with low turnaround times at airports, and selling extras, including scratchcards.Plus, it only flies short-haul routes, so O'Leary doesn't think passengers would be too interested in in-flight WiFi."If it results in a fuel drag, it is something we would never go near," he added on Wednesday.However, in the press conference, he also called Starlink a "terrific system."O'Leary said the airline is continuing discussions with Starlink and other providers, including Amazon, but it would adopt in-flight WiFi "only in a way where it will lower our costs."Read the original article on Business Insider

Jensen Huang is optimistic about AI's impact on jobs.Fabrice COFFRINI / AFP via Getty ImagesJensen Huang said the AI boom is boosting demand for trades like construction.The surge in AI infrastructure is creating high-paying jobs for plumbers and electricians.Salaries for these jobs are also booming in the US, the Nvidia CEO said at Davos.Is AI coming for your job? If you work in construction or plumbing, that's perhaps not a question you need to worry about.Speaking at the World Economic Forum on Wednesday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said it was a great time to be a tradesperson because the AI boom is creating demand for manual labor to build data centers."It's wonderful that the jobs are related to tradecraft and we're going to have plumbers and electricians and construction and steelworkers," he said in a conversation with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink in Davos, Switzerland. Huang described the AI boom as the "largest infrastructure buildout in human history" that would create "a lot of jobs."AI's impact on the labor market has been a hot topic at Davos this year. Huang has long argued that AI won't be the mass job killer some believe it will be. He has given radiology as an example: while AI has automated some of the tasks radiologists do, the number of jobs in the field has actually increased.AI "Godfather" Geoffrey Hinton previously said he also believes manual labor is safer from AI, though for a different reason: it will take longer for AI to have the dexterity to take on more physical jobs.At Davos on Wednesday, Huang said the US was seeing a "significant boom" in demand for manual jobs helping build AI infrastructure, with salaries nearly doubling in some cases."So we're talking about six-figure salaries for people who are building chip factories or computer factories or AI factories, and we have a great shortage in that," said Huang.He added: "Everybody should be able to make a great living. You don't need to have a Ph.D. in computer science to do so."Read the original article on Business Insider
