 Amazon made a big splash with its $15 an hour minimum wage announcement, but lost in the fine print: Warehouse workers will no longer receive stock in the company or collect bonuses. The online giant says this will mean employee compensation will be “more immediate and predictable.”

 After 27 years as president of Blizzard — maker of popular games including “World of Warcraft” and “Overwatch” — Mike Morhaime is stepping down from the company he co-founded in 1991. J. Allen Brack, a senior vice president will take over, TechCrunch reported. Co-founder Allen Adham will return to oversee new games. Adham left Blizzard in 2004, a move he later called his “biggest mistake.”

 In the first quarterly report on the safety of its autonomous vehicles, Tesla said it recorded one accident for every 3.34 million miles driven when Autopilot was engaged. That is a vastly better record than the one compiled by humans: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says there is one crash for every 492,000 miles driven in the U.S. without an autonomous assist. Tesla says it will start releasing accident data every quarter.

Were it up to him, he said, he’d prefer a Batkid signal honoring cancer survivor Miles Scott.
