Wife and I were sitting in the car, windows down, eating chinese takeout on Bridgeway in Sausalito....dinner with a view, and a movie of quiet walking tourists speaking various languages as they pointed up at the precarious homes on the steep hills. Blissful dinner and strolls were rudely interrupted by a drone following a slow-moving car...everyone was startled, all attention on the drone as it crept along the road. Wife and I concluded in felt completely invasive. NOT looking forward to drones.

Am I missing something or does that article about a hook not include a picture of said hook?
Oh, wow. That's bigger news than the OP.
For aircraft to aircraft there’s a automatic advisory which coordinates this between aircraft.

I’ve heard some Airbus have it tied into their auto pilot too.

When all else fails, the rule is “turn right”.
The article says that they actually only did exactly one delivery. And they don't mention any specific details about more deliveries.
Am I missing something? Uber eats needs to pay a driver. Let's assume 20 minutes per delivery for a driver. At $15/hr your at $5 cost per delivery. Plus no need to tip a drone. Also, a drone could operate 24/7 so at 4 oclock in the morning if there was only one delivery in an hour it pays for itself. Plus the licensing happens at the federal level, so you don't have to deal with local laws.
Two sides to every trade. More curious which side lost their shirt.

Mark Hurd...sad for his family...he was a MAJOR league asshole at work profiting at his workers expense...lest us not forget his 10% paycut for EDS employees only after the HP acquistion.....then he cheated on his expense report...his wife with a contractor...got fired for filing false expense reports with HP to cover his affair...ya not missing him much!
The more normal reason is that each cares about different parts.

Walgreens has something they need to deliver, and wants to be seen as innovative, but doesn't really want to do tech.

FedEx wants to improve delivery options, cares about end users and doesn't really care about tech.

Alphabet cares about technology, but doesn't really want to deal with end users.

Oh, "These transactions were entered into by a significant number of diverse market participants."? So, the insider info was shared widely?

Well CME - if the allegations in Vanity Fair are indeed false, why not sue them for libel/publishing materially false information harmful to your company? Surely it would be a slam dunk case. Otherwise, I'm tempted to side with the investigative journalism that resulted in a dozen-paragraph article with facts and figures, over your "that's not true" one-liner.
Apple does not advertise their streaming service as "family-friendly." It's surprising that they didn't make a single bid on a show as big as South Park.
We now live in a world with little capital constraints afforded to some entities. After a successful... pilot these drones could be rolled out as fast as the electric scooters appeared (barring local/state regs). Competition for the last-mile skies may become fierce as investors flock to own a piece of a brand new category. While I don't think it prudent to 'fly fast and break things' I can't help but think its inevitable that scale will happen quickly- and drone insurance along with it.
Yeah, #FF0000 was just an example. The problem also happens with other shades of red, like #F44336 from the old Material Design palette.
I am very fearful of the surveillance capitalists taking to the sky, they have proven that they will suck up any and all data they can and use it without restriction and then lie about it.
The drones still have pilots monitoring them, so they're probably not going to run 24/7, and the pilots probably need training so they make more than $15/hr. But the license allows multiple drones per pilot so overall labor costs per delivery are lower.
If you haven’t looked at that sort of thing on YouTube, don’t. Make your own videos first.

Speculating a bit, but I think Mark knew he was not well. He had not been looking good for at least a year. He just kept on working until he physically couldn't anymore. I didn't find the above comment insulting, but exposes a genuine disconnect between the world people like Mark Hurd live in and the world ordinary people like us live in. I myself have been wondering the exact same thing all day since I heard the news.

If I were to know that I have 3 months left on this earth, I would want to spend all of it with my wife and the rest of my family. I don't think that's dying in mediocrity.
For sure! Glad to have the tech insight.

I already tether a GPU to the encode side for the 3D design apps, but I'll certainly need to rebuild for scaleability in the future.

Maybe Slate is correct, but if they are attacking Vanity Fair for a lack of evidence I would expect them to provide something substantial to prove them "patently false". Spoiler alert they didn't and neither has the CME.

The evidence for this conspiracy theory is that there were futures trades shortly before big geopolitical events. Like, a lot of futures contracts traded, but not all in one big trade. Not one person buying 386,000 contracts, but 386,000 contracts trading, in thousands of individual trades between unrelated traders. The evidence for the theory is essentially “people traded S&P futures the day before weird Trump stuff happened.” But people trade S&P futures every day! Lots of them! Billions and billions of dollars’ worth, in lots of trades! It’s an incredibly active and liquid market! This is … I mean, this is what a market is. People buy stocks, and people sell stocks, and if you just add up all the people who buy stocks before the stock market goes up then they will have made a lot of money, but that’s not because they were all tipped off, it’s because there is no other way anything could possibly work, come on."

COBOL was the original “self documenting language.” And that is why many others followed it.
Intel competes with nVidia on high end GPU hardware and so far (KL and KF) are doing an abysmal job of it, despite using their CPU control to lock nVidia out of the CPU bus.

Apple can't really compete except in mobile GPUs, which is all about power constraints set to single digits Watts, vs >100W for server. That isn't all bad for Apple, there is lots of inference to be done, but by refusing nVidia hardware they impose a developer hurdle.

I'm looking forward to people putting 2080s into the new Mac Pro and seeing how reliable it is.

Everything I am reading (especially the Vanity Fair article) heavily suggests that the large trades in question are a single trader or group of traders. How else could they mean, when they say "10 minutes before market close, this trade of XX,XXX e-Mini's happened"? Is there some dark-pooling going on that I'm not aware of, where transactions clear in bulk, that's making it look like it's a "single trade"? Otherwise, Matt Levine's argument doesn't seem like it's addressing the elephant in the room.
I think the answer is simpler: they could not have run a pilot project by themselves.

Logistics are complex businesses. Google does not have warehouses in enough places to cover an interesting area. FedEx has. And drone deliveries are going to be expensive and only for lightweight items first. That means medicine makes sense. Walgreens will bring the clients.

And no, making reliable transport drones and the infrastructure to load them up, get a reliable GPS coordinate from your client, identifying drop-in zones is not easily done, and that's the value Google brings.
Your just using your preferred frame of reference.

It seems reasonable to call north up because that frame of reference is how maps usually look.

To subsume your frame of reference, we could say the Earth isn’t hanging in space, it’s in free fall around the sun.

There are other frames of reference at progressively larger scales.

Edit: Also, the word ‘hanging’ usually implies an ‘up’.

It seem possible the journalists are just looking at huge end of session volumes, which happens every day, and then writing their fantasy fiction news article.

CME transactions are anonymized in the market data feed there is a seller for every buyer, but one side is an aggressor or initiator. Now even if they are aggregating initiator transactions in a specific direction it is perhaps slightly more meaningful and could indicate a rush of orders from an informed trader or group of traders. However most likely these journalists are clueless and have been misinformed by some amateurs.

At least one person* has claimed that some of the numbers were just obvious lies; that the 386,000 e-Minis Vanity Fair says "someone" bought in the closing 10 minutes on Friday was close to the total volume of thousands of trades in that interval.

Note also that Vanity Fair used an extraordinarily loose definition of "group"; they don't mention any evidence that traders were collaborating, other than that they made the same trade near the same time.

It’s kind of hard to follow in the article, but the painting was moved to a different location within the same church complex that was converted into a museum. It’s hard to call that stealing it, and beside the public benefit. it’s likely a better spot for it to be preserved long term.

This doesn't seem right to me, If earth were a rotating magnet in free space, it would have to interact with another magnet to experience any net force.

Also Earth magnetic field is very weak, think of how much force a compass needle has, and that's while you are standing right on the surface - it falls off with distance.

Look, this is perhaps the most traded future contract in the world. There are billions in nominal value rolling over all the time, it's just business as usual. The last hour of Friday is especially important because participants hedge their portfolios before the weekend starts and all markets are closed. US is the last big market to close each Friday.

What really happened is that people traded contracts like always, and then big events happened. And one party of the transaction won, the other lost (on this particular position; you don't know their full portfolios nor you know their reasons for getting into that trade).

I doubt the CME cares much about the "problem" to sue some low quality publisher. I'd say it warrants no more from them than this short paragraph written by their PR intern.

Hurd was already a pretty high-profile CEO before joining Oracle. Oracle was already pretty well-entrenched long before Hurd joined the company. Hurd's primary skill, IMHO, was in managing the public market.
Hmmm, isn't that the parent's point, though? Being super successful as a VC or VC-funded startup is touted as the ultimate success by YC. However, there are many on this forum who don't agree that VC success is better than other types of success (bootstrapping, politics, charity, family, etc.), and some who even view VC culture as a net negative to society.

My point was that how you receive someone saying YC changed their life is highly dependent on whether you think that the result should be celebrated or emulated. Everyone has experienced things that changed their lives and the lives of those around them, so to someone who doesn't see VC success as very desirable, it comes across as a fairly weak argument.
I'm not going to click to try something just to find out what it is or whether it might be useful to me. That's a terrible use of my time. The world is far more full of things that aren't a fit than are. If you want visitors who aren't your relatives or roommates to try your app you're going to need to tell people what it is and why they should care before you encourage them to try it.
I'm baffled by the focus of comments here, people sitting back and making judgements about another's life decisions. Refreshing that there isn't name calling and vitriol. I personally would not want to live the kind of high pressure work life of Mr. Hurd. For me that would be hell. Each person is responsible for their decisions, finding satisfaction in life. By my own best lights the key questions are, "Did s/he love? Were they loved in return? Did they add to greater good of the world around them?" Wielding power over others for personal gain, exploitation, that's where I'm more comfortable saying that a person's choices were harmful to self and others. Narcissism. I'm getting a big cipher here and other articles about his passing. I'm his age, so that adds another dimension to my regard here.

> COBOL was intended to do away with programmers and to allow their managers to interact with the computer directly.

This is incorrect. COBOL has as its definition “COmmon Business Oriented Language.” It can be argued that COBOL was the first compiler widely used, but to say it was meant to “do away with programmers” is to ignore that application programmers were the intended beneficiaries of no longer having to work strictly in machine code.

On my website I have a sidebar (on large enough displays) where I put sidenotes (which I typically prefer to footnotes). https://chrismorgan.info/blog/dark-theme-implementation/ is an example of an article with both float-based sidenotes and grid-based figure captions in that sidebar. Look at what happens on mobile-sized displays, too. https://chrismorgan.info/blog/2019-website/ is an example of where float really shines on this, with the second sidenote automatically moving down the page due to the length of the first sidenote.
