> "In 2016, CMAD and MosquitoMate piloted the first-ever U.S. release of male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes with Wolbachia in Fresno County. Our 2017 collaboration represents a more than 25x increase in the release efforts, with a total of one million non-biting sterile male mosquitoes released weekly, made possible by the automated mass rearing and sex-sorting processes developed at Verily. Additionally, our software algorithms and on-the-ground release devices will allow us to distribute the sterile male mosquitoes in an even and targeted way throughout Fresno’s mosquito season. We believe that these advancements could have a meaningful impact on what is traditionally a very labor-intensive process and could reduce the number of biting Aedes aegypti in Fresno County."
So the improvements are a mass-production technique that produces sterile mosquitos in large enough quantities to wipe out the wild ones, and software to determine where to release them for best effect.
I searched - on the entire quoted string - two hours after you. It's weird, but not entirely infeasible, that google had indexed HN before verily, but if that URL is to be believed that blog was posted ~1 day earlier.
The google bubble may be downgrading the value of certain results for you, but shouldn't be actively hiding them. If you're still not seeing the result by whole or sub-string, perhaps try an incognito (or similar) browser, just in case your search engine, browser, or an extension is protecting you from something.
