China’s new clampdown on drone sales and even the storage of drone components within the capital of Beijing stands out in a country that effectively built the global market for affordable commercial drones. The unprecedented citywide rules taking effect on May 1 come as authorities tighten drone regulations across the country and enforce flight restrictions more strictly. Chinese officials are refining drone regulations because “enforcement and rules have been uneven or unclear,” said Lizzi C. Lee , a fellow on the Chinese economy at the Asia Society Policy Institute’s Center for China Analysis in New York City. Now it appears that Beijing officials are “experimenting with a more comprehensive, front-end approach” by implementing the citywide ban on drone sales and rentals—not to mention restricting the storage of drones and drone components within the city. “What’s pretty notable here is that this is not just about regulating use but also about controlling the entire lifecycle—sales, transport, and storage—of drones,” Lee told Ars. “That’s a much more preventive, system-level approach to eliminating unauthorized drone activity rather than just policing them after the fact.” Read full article Comments

We're likely only a handful of years away from this technology being widely deployed at the commercial level. Investors would be smart to consider investing in quantum computing now, so they can capture the major upside that could be coming down the pipeline.

Obesity drug giant Eli Lilly on Thursday reported a monster first quarter, fortifying our conviction to stick with the stock after a period of sluggishness. Revenue in the three months ended in March jumped 56% from a year ago to $19.8 billion, trouncing the LSEG consensus of $17.6 billion. Adjusted earnings per share totaled $8.55, more than doubling on an annual basis and crushing the $6.66 consensus, according to LSEG. LLY 1Y mountain Eli Lilly's stock performance over the past 12 months. Shares surged about 10% on Thursday. The stock came into the day down 21% for the year and roughly 23% off its late November all-time closing high of $1,110. The weakness in the stock was tied to a broader rotation away from the healthcare sector, and broader questions about the competitive dynamics in the booming GLP-1 market. Bottom line Lilly knocked it out of the park. As if the massive top and bottom-line beats were not enough, the drugmaker raised its full-year guidance for revenue, operating profitability and earnings per share. "This is one of the greatest pharma stories," Jim Cramer said Thursday. A big reason why Lilly's results are so impressive: It's doing this despite weaker realized drug prices in the U.S., partially stemming from most favored nation agreements with the Trump administration in exchange for Medicare access. Competition from Novo Nordisk , the maker of Ozempic for diabetes and Wegovy for weight loss, is another factor. Regardless, Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks has insisted his company will be able to overcome lower prices with higher volumes — and that's what is happening. In the first quarter, pricing fell 7% in the U.S., but volumes jumped 49% driven by its injectable GLP-1s, Zepbound for obesity and Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes. (Both drugs share the active ingredient of tirzepatide.) The dynamic was actually even more pronounced on a worldwide basis, with pricing down 13% and volumes up 65%. China was a big driver of the weaker prices globally. Mounj...
