Amazon (AMZN, $1,699.63) set to open several new stores

According to a recent report in Wall Street Journal, Amazon is considering opening dozens of grocery stores across the U.S. at a cheaper price point than Whole Foods. The first one is slated to be opened in Los Angeles by the end of 2019. Other stores will be opened in shopping centers based in San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.

With this news, existing grocery stores like Walmart (WMT), Kroger (KR), Target (TGT), BJs (BJ), Costco (COST), and Sprouts (SFM) have all taken a hit.

Amazon has already signed two more leases for other grocery locations by early 2020. It’s not yet confirmed whether these stores will be called Amazon markets, but it will definitely be separate from Whole Foods.

The new stores will have a smaller area of 35,000 square feet than a typical grocery of 60,000 square feet of space. Amazon may also take the route of regional grocery chain acquisition, but it’s unclear if it will follow through.

In 2017, Amazon had announced its plans to buy Whole Foods. But this current move will actually offer products at more affordable prices which do not have to compete with the Whole Foods brand directly.

Previously, Amazon has had retail locations like Amazon Go cashier-less convenience stores. This current move marks another shift in the company’s plan to go from the digital to the physical market.

What's the Difference Between Tokens and Altcoins?

What's the Difference Between Tokens and Altcoins?

Between their inherently technical nature, multiple varieties and sub-varieties, and endless terminology, cryptocurrency (defined here as digital or virtual currencies that are encrypted using cryptography, powered by the immutable digital ledger known as the blockchain) represents a whole, complex world.All altcoins possess their own blockchain, independent from their source code, that records all transactions of their native coins. Many altcoins are variants, or forks, of Bitcoin that leverage that cryptocurrency’s open-source protocol as the basis.

How Machines and Humans Can Work Together

How Machines and Humans Can Work Together

We use devices every day that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) – to the point where certain actions, like communicating with digital “assistants,” have become second nature.Books and movies tell us that AI will not only replace our jobs, and by extension, our livelihoods – it will eventually replace us, too. While there is historical precedent for job loss following adoption of new technologies, experts insist that we should not be looking at AI as ‘machine versus human,’ but rather as machine plus human.
