Vicente Luque’s long, hard and grueling MMA journey

Vicente Luque’s long, hard and grueling MMA journey

No matter what sport you pick, whether it be individual sports like fighting, golf and track or team sports like football, baseball, basketball and hockey, the vast majority of athletes at the professional level are so gifted that the mere mortals among us can’t comprehend it. None of us will hit a golf ball like Tiger Woods or a baseball like Mike Trout, throw a pass like Tom Brady or engage in a jaw-dropping slugfest like Gilbert Burns and Khamzat Chimaev did on Saturday at UFC 273.

Google’s handy scrollable Snapshot of your day has disappeared from phones

Google’s Snapshot feature, which was introduced back in 2018 and occasionally (but not often) updated, is finally gone, according to an article at 9to5Google. The Android feature, which could be accessed via a small and easily overlooked inbox icon on the Assistant screen, would show all your current information via a scrollable interface — things such as appointments, weather forecasts, traffic, and reminders. It was a small but useful feature — unfortunately, though, it was also… Source link

‘No board in America is going to take that number’

‘No board in America is going to take that number’

Elon Musk offered to buy Twitter (TWTR) for $54.20 per share in a filing made public Thursday, calling it his “best and final offer.” But the Tesla (TSLA) CEO will have to reconsider that offer if he’s serious about taking over the social media company, according to one analyst. “No one believes this is the final price. No board in America is going to take that number,” said Jefferies analyst Brent Thill. Twitter shares jumped 4% on news of the all-cash offer, before falling in the… Source link

Urban Meyer discusses story of him not knowing Aaron Donald

Urban Meyer discusses story of him not knowing Aaron Donald

There were countless stories out of the Jacksonville Jaguars surrounding Urban Meyer’s disastrous tenure, but perhaps the most fascinating was the tidbit that Meyer didn’t know who Aaron Donald was. Most anyone with an interest in pro football knows Donald, the Los Angeles Rams star defensive tackle who has an argument as the best player in all of football. It’s mind-blowing to think an NFL head coach didn’t know him. A report from The Athletic in March, citing a source, said Meyer asked a… Source link

Players to drop for waiver wire pickups

Players to drop for waiver wire pickups

Many potential fantasy waiver wire gems emerge during the initial weeks of every season. This year, I constantly see recommendations to pick up the likes of Steven Kwan, Tylor Megill, Jesus Luzardo and many other players who started the season on waivers in most leagues before producing inspiring April statistics. Unfortunately, rosters don’t grow in size after Opening Day, and every addition means that someone needs to go. Based on early season numbers, here are some commonly-rostered… Source link

Elon Musk’s bid for Twitter probably has Facebook and Google quaking: Mark Cuban

Elon Musk’s bid for Twitter probably has Facebook and Google quaking: Mark Cuban

Elon Musk’s big bid to buy all of Twitter has probably awakened numerous executives inside of Google and Meta, said tech titan and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. “Every major tech company, Google, fb, et al is on the phone with their anti trust lawyers asking if they can buy Twitter and get it approved. And Twitter is on the phone with their lawyers asking which can be their white knight. Gonna be interesting,” Cuban said in a new tweet on Thursday. Yahoo Finance reached out to Mark Cuban… Source link

Google Cloud launches its new data loss prevention tool for BigQuery – TechCrunch

Inevitably, large businesses will collect all kinds of sensitive data. Often, that’s personal identifiable data (PII) of their customers and employees, or other information that only a select number of users should get access to. But as the amount of data that large businesses collect increases, manual data discovery and classification can’t scale anymore. With Automatic DLP [Data Loss Prevention], Google recently launched a tool that helps its BigQuery users discover and classify… Source link
