Wing and Walmart will offer six-mile drone deliveries over Dallas
Wing, Alphabet's aviation subsidiary, is partnering with Walmart to kick off drone deliveries from the retail chain in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metro area. The flights will begin taking off "in the coming weeks" from a Walmart Supercenter in Frisco, TX, and the companies plan to expand to a second DFW location before the end of the year. The companies say the coverage area from both stores will cover 60,000 homes. The service will be available to homes within about six miles of the supported stores. Residents in those areas can order things like quick meals, groceries, essentials and over-the-counter medicines. The drones can fly up to 65 mph, and Wing says you'll get your items in under 30 minutes.
Walmart is expanding drone delivery services
Walmart is teaming up with Wing -- a drone firm owned by Alphabet -- to expand its drone delivery services in Texas. The retail giant announced it would add the service to a location in Frisco, Texas in the coming weeks then to another supercenter in the Dallas metro area this year. Walmart already has drone hubs in the area but working with Wing should allow the company to expand its delivery area. "Working with Wing directly aligns with our passion for finding innovative and eco-friendly last-mile delivery solutions to get customers the items they want, when they want them," wrote Walmart Senior Vice President Walmart Prathibha Rajashekhar in a blog post. "With drones that can fly beyond visual line of sight, we're able to unlock on-demand delivery for customers living within an approximate 6-mile range of the stores that offer the service."
How Data Literacy Can Keep America Safe
On May 9, 2023, two days after a white supremacist murdered eight people at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, Elon Musk condemned "the media" for disproportionately focusing on violence committed against people of color. This particular criticism took the form of a profoundly misleading graphic, which claimed to show that a huge majority of "interracial violent crimes" in the United States are conducted by Black people against white people, rather than the other way around. Among other problems, the chart depicted the total number of victims of crimes by race, without adjusting for the fact that there are around five and a half times as many white Americans as Black Americans. In other words, there are more white victims of "interracial crime" in America because there are more white people--period. Nevertheless, the tweet went viral, being viewed more than 14 million times and retweeted by tens of thousands of additional people.

Topol: AI in early stages, but has potential to revolutionize healthcare
Emerging technology has the potential to add efficiency and effectiveness to healthcare, according to Eric Topol, MD. Capabilities such as artificial intelligence, polygenic risk scores and digital health technology can equip physicians to improve and reduce the cost of care, while enabling them to better connect with patients, said Topol, the founder and director of The Scripps Research Institute. Much of care today is not based on provable facts, Topol noted at Liberation 2019, the annual meeting of Medecision, in Frisco, Texas. He cited an article by Hannah Fry, MD, published last month in The New Yorker, which detailed research that found that, of every 1,000 people taking statins for heart conditions over five years, only 18 will avoid a major heart attack or stroke. "Patients and clinicians exist in a world of insufficient data," Topol said.
