$3 a day: A new poverty line has shifted the World Bank’s data on extreme poverty. What changed, and why? In June 2025, the World Bank increased its extreme poverty estimates by 125 million people. This doesn’t mean the world has gotten poorer: it reflects a new, higher International Poverty Line of $3 a day, up from $2.15. To track progress towards ending extreme poverty by 2030, the United Nations relies on the World Bank to estimate the share of people living below a certain threshold, calle

Sorry, Google, but the Pixel 10 doesn’t excite me

Joe Maring / Android Authority Remember the first Pixel devices, and the Nexus phones before them? I do. I loved my Nexus 5, and I remain convinced the Nexus 6P was the height of smartphone design. The Pixel 6 harked back to it, which was new and exciting at the time. However, I’m now bored with the Pixel lineup. I’m not accustomed to being unimpressed with Pixel phones; usually, the line always had something to interest me. But the Pixel 9 was just…meh. And now, it looks like the Pixel 10 wil

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-12-03 10:22:50

A hardware refresh for the Apple TV 4K set-top box is coming soon. The current generation was released in spring 2022, and is powered by an A15 Bionic chip. The new generation is expected to feature a new Apple-designed WiFi and Bluetooth chip, as well as a CPU upgrade. A report from MacRumors today cites code references that indicate the box will actually get an A17 Pro chip, the same processor that powers the iPhone 15 Pro.

Funding Open Source like public infrastructure

news.ycombinator.com Dries Buytaert 2025-12-03 09:24:17

To protect the digital foundation of essential government services, governments should invest in Open Source as public infrastructure and shift from consumption to contribution. Fifteen years ago, I laid out a theory about the future of Open Source. In The Commercialization of a Volunteer-Driven Open Source Project, I argued that if Open Source was going to thrive, people had to get paid to work on it. At the time, the idea was controversial.
