☆ More than 40,000 bees removed from Maine farmhouse
  + stars: | 2024-09-21 | by ( Ashley R. Williams | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —The tens of thousands of bees removed from a Maine farmhouse this week had caused quite a buzz there for decades, according to the family who’s lived on the farm since the 18th century. An estimated 40,000 bees were taken from the walls of a farmhouse at Smiling Hill Farm in Westbrook, Maine, according to CNN affiliate WMTW. The bees were removed from a Maine farmhouse this week. Instead of killing the bees, the Knight family wanted to save the colony living in the farmhouse, which needs renovation, so they requested MacDonald’s services, WMTW reported. The Knight family said they plan to maintain the outdoor hive and the bees will be later relocated elsewhere on the farm, according to WMTW.

☆ Waymo's robotaxis are better than some San Francisco drivers

Waymo's autonomous driver is pretty damn smart, and aside from a few hesitations, the robotaxi offers a smooth, comfortable experience with competitive pricing against other ride-hailing apps. Lloyd Lee/Business InsiderWaymo's 5th generation autonomous driver could be best described as a safe but not an annoyingly cautious driver. It did the same thing to give itself more room when it detected a large parked bucket truck slightly in Waymo's lane. The expectation I had that the Waymo driver would be stiff, as the term "robot taxi" might suggest, was dispelled throughout the rides. The spokesperson said it's also possible I failed to notice something the Waymo car picked up.

☆ Uber salaries revealed: See how much engineers, analysts and hundreds of other employees at the ride sharing company make
  + stars: | 2022-10-18 | by ( Diamond Naga Siu | Tom Dotan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
We analyzed hundreds of H-1B visa applications to get a sense of how much Uber pays employees. The ride-sharing company offered two distinguished engineers nearly $350,000 each as a base salary. As a recession looms, Uber has dramatically slowed down on hiring — even freezing hiring altogether in many departments. But salaries are also a big part of how the company pays its employees. The highest-paid people in the data are two distinguished engineers in California who were each offered $345,000, while the lowest-paid person in the data is a data analyst in Illinois who was offered $56,700.
☆ Uber's chief incrementalist: Sundeep Jain is a divisive leader who shuns flying cars in favor of a steady march toward 'super app' status.

Instead, Jain has overseen the introduction of add-on features to Uber's app, such as rental car bookings and party buses leasing. "Spending a half billion a year on flying cars doesn't make sense for the type of business we are," said one current Uber executive. "I don't think innovative people want to work for a non-innovative product leader," said one former Uber executive. "Under Sundeep's leadership the product team has shipped more products, to more users, than ever before," a spokesperson told Insider. That's two billion dollars," a current Uber product executive said.
