Amazon and Apple best deliver on affordable housing promises, as other tech giants falter

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-12-29 05:24:38

One of the downsides of tech giants creating Silicon Valley was the affordable housing crisis it spurred. That has made it next to impossible for those on typical salaries to rent or buy in the area. Apple was one of a number of tech companies which pledged to help out back in 2019, and so far has delivered more than most … The growth of tech companies within the Bay Area led to dramatically increased demand for housing, alongside price pressure created by the relatively high salaries paid to

Android 16’s support for external keyboards blew my mind

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s been years since I last tried to pair a Bluetooth or USB keyboard with my Android phone. After being a physical QWERTY proponent for years and hating on touchscreen typing, I wholly but slowly embraced pecking on a glass surface.

How attention sinks keep language models stable

We discovered why language models catastrophically fail on long conversations: when old tokens are removed to save memory, models produce complete gibberish. We found models dump massive attention onto the first few tokens as "attention sinks"—places to park unused attention since softmax requires weights to sum to 1.

Exit Tax: Leave Germany before your business gets big

news.ycombinator.com Oliver Eidel 2026-01-03 23:06:50

Here’s an interesting take on Germany’s exit tax, which I have written about before: Leave Germany before your business gets big. What do I mean by that? I mean that once you’re a business owner in Germany and your business has reached a certain size, you are essentially barred from ever moving out of the country again. Crazy, right? I think it’s also pretty crazy that no one really talks about this. This is, quite literally, erecting a “Berlin Wall” around German entrepreneurs, forcing them

Sony built a loyal niche of fans who buy its Xperia phones, but the market beyond them doesn’t pick up on the phones with as much enthusiasm.

Trump’s endless new tariffs are threatening businesses — and you

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: a new wave of tariffs are taking effect today.

Overview Low-cost micro-units, often called single-room occupancies, or SROs, were once a reliable form of housing for the United States’ poorest residents of, and newcomers to, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and many other major U.S. cities. Well into the 20th century, SROs were the least expensive option on the housing market, providing a small room with a shared bathroom and sometimes a shared kitchen for a price that is unimaginable today—as little as $100 to $300 a month (in 2025 dollar
