Alphabet stock pops 6% in premarket trading after Google avoids break-up in antitrust case

cnbc.com Arjun Kharpal 2025-10-22 13:36:24

The Google logo is seen outside a building housing Google offices in Beijing on February 4, 2025. China on February 4 said it would probe US tech giant Google over violations of anti-monopoly laws after Washington slapped 10 percent levies on Chinese goods. Alphabet shares rose 6% in premarket trading on Wednesday as investors viewed the result of Google's antitrust case as broadly favorable to the tech giant.

Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 review: The new ChromeOS sweet spot

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-22 13:00:14

In the last few years, I’ve felt like Chromebooks have hit a plateau. ChromeOS is a quirky but mature platform at this point, and Google has continued to add smart and useful features on a regular basis. But the hardware has felt pretty stagnant, with a few exceptions. Most Chromebooks at this point are utilitarian devices that get the job done but inspire little excitement, and I’ve found most Intel-based Chromebooks don’t get me through a day of work before the battery dies. But earlier this

Puffy Cloud Mattress Review: Soft but Supportive

I will admit that, once upon a time, I was not the Puffy Cloud’s biggest supporter. I’ve tested this memory foam mattress multiple times over my five-year mattress testing career and believed it simply wasn’t for me—too soft, not enough spinal support. Well, times change, don’t they? Granted, during my previous tests, I didn’t spend a whole week sleeping on the Cloud in my own bedroom, as I did this time.

The Loophole Turning Stablecoins Into a Trillion-Dollar Fight

wired.com Adam Willems 2025-10-22 15:00:00

On July 18, after more than a decade of legal uncertainty, US lawmakers finally brought part of the crypto industry into the regulatory fold. The newly signed Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act requires issuers of stablecoins—cryptocurrencies that claim a value tied to a more stable asset—to fully back their tokens with cash or short-term Treasury bonds, submit to audits, and follow anti-money laundering rules, among other conditions.

One of the most engaging books I have read this year is A Little Learning: A Victorian Childhood, by the novelist Winifred Peck (1882-1962). Looking back from the 1950s, Peck describes her education at a number of different schools in the last decades of the 19th century – a time when the opportunities available to women, and ideas about how girls should be educated, were changing very rapidly. Though she came from a scholarly and successful family (her father was a bishop), Peck’s chequered ed

Indices, not Pointers

Indices, not Pointers There is a pattern I’ve learned while using Zig which I’ve never seen used in any other language. It’s an extremely simple trick which - when applied to a data structure - reduces memory usage, reduces memory allocations, speeds up accesses, makes freeing instantaneous, and generally makes everything much, much faster. The trick is to use indices, not pointers. This is something I learned from a talk by Andrew Kelley (Zig’s creator) on data-oriented design. It’s used in Z

Over the last half-billion years, squid, octopuses and their kin have evolved much like a fireworks display, with long, anticipatory pauses interspersed with intense, explosive changes. The many-armed diversity of cephalopods is the result of the evolutionary rubber hitting the road right after lineages split into new species, and precious little of their evolution has been the slow accumulation of gradual change.
