Another shot has been fired in the minimum wage battles:

Just around the corner from Google’s GOOGL +0.26% main campus in Mountain View, California sits a nondescript concrete building. Inside the building, the future of fast food is being developed and refined. This is the headquarters of Zume. Founded by former Zynga Studio head Alex Garden, Zume wants to revolutionize the $9.7 billion pizza delivery world. Their plan is simple; no humans, all robots. From the production line assembly of the pizza to the eventual delivery, robots are the primary labor ingredient.

The process is not completely human free at this point, with humans adding the cheese and toppings, but it is only a matter of time before robots are able to take over that process as well. Currently the robots add sauce to the dough (the sauce robot is named “Marta”) which travels on a conveyor belt to humans who add toppings and cheese. Bruno the robot then places the pizzas in an oven. A couple of Fiats driven by humans (for now) deliver the pizzas locally.

Here’s an interesting piece on drone taxis:

Mass transit, the lifeblood of cities worldwide, is under threat from the biggest innovation in automotive technology since Henry Ford’s assembly line first flooded streets with cars.

The self-driving vehicles being pioneered by Tesla Motors Inc., Alphabet Inc.’s Google and others are poised to dramatically lower the cost of taxis, potentially making them cheaper than buses or subways, according to a joint report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance and McKinsey & Co. Having no driver to pay could reduce taxi prices to 67 cents a mile by 2025, less than a quarter of the cost in Manhattan today, the report found.

It’s a change with the potential to reshape commuting patterns, transforming urban life. As prices fall, the challenge for cities is that the cars may become too popular. Instead of complementing public transit, they may lure commuters away from buses and trains, inundating streets with drone cars.

I find it very worrisome that US tribalism is increasing:

The divisions over Peter Thiel and his support for Donald Trump are deepening in Silicon Valley.

Dismay over the billionaire venture capitalist’s stance on the Republican candidate has been showing up all across the technology landscape — from a startup founder saying he regrets taking a Trump backer’s money to a prominent diversity group refusing to work with any company associated with Thiel. In one recent case, it also throttled the flow of cash into a fledgling VC fund.

Arlan Hamilton, managing partner at Backstage Capital, said she rejected a potential investor because the person refused to disavow and sever ties with Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and Palantir Technologies Inc. She declined to name the investor, saying the person offered to put $500,000 in her Los Angeles-based technology seed fund.

While the amount is tiny by industry standards, it is significant to Hamilton’s year-old seed fund, which has about $5 million in commitments, according to a report by Inc. The stymied deal reflects the growing divisiveness in the run up to the U.S. presidential election, which is spilling into everyday business. Hamilton took to Twitter to air her political protest.

“Because of my Peter Thiel stance, my company just lost half a million $ in new funding,” Hamilton wrote on Twitter. “Couldn’t have Thiel money flowing through our company. Hard problem. Easy decision.”

The market report will be delayed.

Here’s some drone news with a sting in its tail!

The day when police zap suspects from the sky with drones carrying stun guns may be nearing.

Taser International Inc., known for its stun guns and body cameras, is exploring the concept of a drone armed with a stun gun for use by police. This week, the company held discussions with police officials about such a device during a law-enforcement conference here.

Market Action

October 19, 2016

Happy Anniversary, market crash of 1987!

The Bank of Canada gloomily maintained its policy yields today:

The Bank of Canada today announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 1/2 per cent. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 3/4 per cent and the deposit rate is 1/4 per cent.

Looking through the choppiness of recent data, the profile for growth in Canada is now lower than projected in July’s Monetary Policy Report (MPR). This is due in large part to slower near-term housing resale activity and a lower trajectory for exports. The federal government’s new measures to promote stability in Canada’s housing market are likely to restrain residential investment while dampening household vulnerabilities. Recent export data are improving but are not strong enough to make up for ground lost during the first half of 2016, despite the effects of the Canadian dollar’s past depreciation. Growth in exports over 2017 and 2018 are projected to be slower than previously forecast, due to lower estimates of global demand, a composition of US growth that appears less favourable to Canadian exports, and ongoing competitiveness challenges for Canadian firms.

The Bank expects Canada’s real GDP to grow by 1.1 per cent in 2016 and about 2 per cent in both 2017 and 2018. This projection implies that the economy returns to full capacity around mid-2018, materially later than the Bank had anticipated in July.

Market Action

October 12, 2016

Bloomberg has a nice article about a firm that’s eating the banks’ lunch:

XTX Markets Ltd. has emerged as a foreign-exchange powerhouse, relying on programmers and mathematicians to fuel its rise into the global top five earlier this year. Now, after becoming a formidable player in currencies, XTX has its sights set on growing in stocks, commodities and bonds markets.

But in a world where the difference between profit and loss can be tiny fractions of a second, XTX says it relies more on smarts than speed. Instead of building microwave networks to ferret out prices a microsecond before anyone else, XTX uses mathematical models that are tuned with massive data sets. It says its technology has computing power comparable to some of the world’s top supercomputers.

A challenge for XTX is finding and recruiting talent to create its intellectual fuel for trading. The competition to lure the world’s top mathematicians and technologists isn’t just against Wall Street and other computerized traders, as XTX is now also up against tech giants like Google.

Forget MBAs, XTX is looking for uncommon traits like “extreme quantitative skills and a good understanding of technology,” said Amrolia, 53, who has a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Oxford.
