Tech boss quits after viral 'kiss cam' video at Coldplay concert
Andy Byron, the boss of New York-based firm Astronomer, was seen with his arms around Kristin Cabot, the company's chief people officer, on the 'kiss cam' screen at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts,
When they saw themselves on the big screen, the pair quickly separated and attempted to hide their faces.
'Whoa, look at these two,' Coldplay singer Chris Martin said. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.'
Mr Byron has now quit the data infrastructure company, according to a LinkedIn post from the company on Saturday.
Astronomer's board of directors accepted Byron's resignation, according to the LinkedIn post, and will begin searching for its next CEO.
The company added: 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding.
'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.'
The data operations company, which was founded in 2018, acknowledged that 'awareness of our company may have changed overnight,' but its mission would continue to be focused on addressing data and artificial intelligence problems.
The company on Friday said Astronomer's co-founder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy would serve as interim CEO.
Mr Byron's LinkedIn account is no longer public and he was removed from the company's leadership page following the announcement, which now lists co-founder DeJoy as CEO.
Mr Byron is still listed on the company's website as a member of the board of directors.

Meme stock surge underlines market froth, mostly centred on retail investors
NEW YORK, July 24 (Reuters) - Massive moves in stocks such as Kohl's and Opendoor Technologies are raising questions over whether a new wave of meme stock trading is underway and what that signals about risk appetite more broadly. Benchmark equity indexes have touched record highs, cryptocurrencies are rallying, and options trading volumes have jumped, highlighting renewed signs of speculative fervor across asset classes. Much of the risk-taking behavior is being driven by retail market participants, investors said, with larger institutional players taking a more circumspect view. "It seems like the story, at least in the equity market, is everything is kind of risk on," Garrett DeSimone, head of quantitative research at OptionMetrics, said. "It has gotten a bit frothy in that sense." So-called meme stocks - stocks that surge in price due to social media hype rather than company fundamentals - are at the forefront of this frothy market behavior. Krispy Kreme(DNUT.O), opens new tab and GoPro (GPRO.O), opens new tab were among the companies riding the latest meme stock rally on Wednesday as retail traders latched on to the highly shorted names, a day after piling into the shares of department store company Kohl's. The Goldman Sachs Most Shorted Rolling Index (.GSCBMSAL), opens new tab, an equal-weighted basket of the 50 highest short-interest names in the Russell 3000 Index, is up 13% this month, compared to a nearly 2% gain for the Russell 3000 (.RUA), opens new tab in that time, and is up over 60% since the low for the year in April. "Retail has helped fuel the squeeze," Marco Iachini, senior vice president of research at Vanda, said. Retail interest was particularly on display in the options market with several retail favorite options names, including Krispy Kreme and Kohl's, drawing massive trading volume. "They also have a huge amount of mentions across retail boards and Reddit. So they've definitely attracted some attention, you know, not based on fundamentals, which I guess defines a meme stock," OptionMetrics' DeSimone said. Trading in short-dated contracts has also surged, signaling higher appetite for risk-taking, options data showed. Still, various options market gauges, including put-to-call ratios and stock correlation measures, point to frothiness but are not at highs seen at the peak of past periods of speculative frenzy. "There is not the signal yet that things are so overbought that this needs to stop ... to me it still feels early stage," said Brent Kochuba, founder of options analytic service SpotGamma. Speculative fever is on display also in cryptocurrencies and crypto-related stocks and exchange-traded funds. Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, recently hit a record high of $123,153, while several crypto-focused stocks, including crypto exchange Coinbase Global (COIN.O), opens new tab and bitcoin stockpiler Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy (MSTR.O), opens new tab, have soared. "Confidence among retail traders is notably higher, fueled in part by recent gains in crypto markets," Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide, said in a note. Irene Tunkel, chief U.S. equity strategist at BCA Research, said although retail investors appeared to be over-exuberant, the market as a whole did not. "You look at institutional investor sentiment, it's not really overextended," Tunkel said. "So I think it's just one group, which is retail investors, that got overly excited and the froth is there." Despite the S&P 500 making new highs, equity positioning is far below February levels as investors remain underweight stocks, according to Deutsche Bank estimates. The S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab as of Tuesday traded at 22.5 times its expected 12-month earnings - its highest level this year - and has been above a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 22 for nearly the past month, according to LSEG Datastream. That is a valuation level the index has reached only about 7% of the time over the past 40 years, and is well above its long-term average of 15.8. Investors say valuations are not always useful for determining the market's near-term direction. But the fact that equity valuations are elevated could make stocks more vulnerable to any disappointing shocks in the coming weeks. "For me, it's more when positioning gets really crowded. So right now, we're seeing these bouts of meme stock trading, but I'm not seeing it really affect the overall market," Vanda's Iachini said.

Six university students drown while visiting mine in China
HONG KONG — Six students from a university in China drowned Wednesday after falling into a flotation tank while visiting a mine in the country's Inner Mongolia region. The students from Northeastern University in Liaoning province were observing the flotation process when a grid plate they were standing on suddenly gave way, causing them to fall into the tank, according to Xinhua, China's state-run news agency. 'Despite rescue efforts, all six students were confirmed drowned after being pulled from the tank. One teacher was also injured,' Zhongjin Gold, a subsidiary of state-owned China National Gold Group that operates the mine, said in a company filing Thursday. Flotation tanks are used to separate different types of small mineral particles, said Richard Williams, principal and vice chancellor of Scotland-based Heriot-Watt University, who has a background in mineral engineering. Anyone who falls into the tank could pass through the thick foam on top 'and then find themselves in a mixed slurry or in contact with the mixer blades,' Williams said in emailed comments. 'These types of accidents are rare. But mine safety remains a global challenge due to the nature of the work,' he said. Zhongjin Gold, which is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, plunged at Thursday's open and ended the day down 4.41%. Calls to Northeastern University went unanswered on Thursday. The flotation workshop had been carrying out technical upgrade projects, including replacing floor grating panels on the second-level platform to address on-site safety risks, according to an article that China National Gold Group Inner Mongolia Mining Co. published in February on its official WeChat account. 'In 2024, the flotation workshop achieved zero safety, environmental, or occupational health incidents, meeting the 'zero accidents' safety goal,' the article said. Another article published in July 2020 described the flotation workshop during the summer as a 'giant steamer,' where workers were drenched in sweat. Both articles, which were viewed by NBC News, were deleted on Thursday afternoon after they were quoted by several media outlets. The accident has been a top discussion topic on social media in China, which is one of the world's top producers of many major minerals and has a long history of mine safety issues. In January 2024, the Chinese government said it was introducing strict measures to 'curb the frequent occurrence' of mining accidents. The previous year, there were 120 mine accidents in China resulting in more than 250 deaths, according to the country's official Mine Safety Accident Network.
