In 1998, a computer science PhD student called Larry Page submitted a patent for internet search based on an obscure piece of mathematics. The method, known today as PageRank, allowed the most relevant webpages to be found much more rapidly and accurately than ever before. The patent, initially owned by Stanford, was sold in 2005 for shares that are today worth more than $1bn. Page’s company, Google, has a net worth of well over $1tr. It wasn’t Page, or Google’s cofounder Sergey Brin,… Source link

New York Giants co-owner John Mara knew firing Joe Judge was the right decision. Mara spoke about that choice Wednesday, explaining he felt the team hit “rock bottom” toward the end of the season. Mara’s full quote is actually much worse. He thought the team hit rock bottom weeks ago, only for the team to one-up its own failure every single week. That’s an honest — and scathing — assessment of Judge’s final weeks with the team. Judge drew headlines after a blowout loss against the Chicago… Source link

“Relentless” was a word Joe Judge used as an anchor in the first media conference of his New York Giants coaching career.

The New York Giants lost their fifth straight game by double digits on Sunday, and this was the ugliest of them all. Facing the 5-10 Chicago Bears, a team widely expected to fire their head coach after this season, the Giants weren’t just bad on offense, they were historically putrid. With starting quarterback Daniel Jones shut down for the season, back-up Mike Glennon finished the day 4-of-11 for 24 passing yards, two interceptions and four fumbles (two lost). Of Glennon’s four completed… Source link

As the global oil and gas markets are recovering from the steep sell-off last Monday, threats in the market are not just linked to demand-supply concerns. Cybersecurity specialists reported this week that hackers managed to get access to a large amount of data from Saudi oil giant Aramco. The company has confirmed that around 1TB of (confidential) data was stolen from its servers. According to AP sources, the data has been put on offer on the darknet for a price of $50 million.

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) recently launched the subscription option for full self-driving. Loup Ventures Managing Partner Gene Munster offered his take on what this means for the company. FSD Can Move The Financial Needle: The subscription option can accelerate FSD adoption, given the cost shifts from $10,000 upfront to $200 per month, or $99 for cars that already have advanced Autopilot, Munster said in the note.
