“Sources familiar with the matter say the company (#META) could lay off as much as 20 percent of its staff, eliminating roughly 15,800 positions. That would be the largest series of #layoffs at the company since it #terminated 22,000 workers over just a few months between November 2022 and early 2023.

Word of the potential #downsizing comes after Meta signaled that it was all but giving up on #VR and the #Metaverse, slashing budgets and closing studios. Instead, the company has been spending big to attract #AITalent, build #DataCenters, and acquire companies like #Moltbook.”

I note the “silver bullet” approach by a company who was founded on PHP widgets and #SocialMedia.

#Trump #Administration #Illegally #Cut #Billions In #Energy #Funds, AGs Say

The #attorneys #general of 13 #states #sued the Trump administration in #California #federal #court Wednesday, alleging it #unlawfully #terminated #billions of #dollars in #funding for energy and #infrastructure #programs nationwide. [law360]

In June, two suits filed against the Trump administration in federal court in Boston led to more than 2,000 #terminated #NIH #grants having their funding restored.

And just this week, an agreement with the plaintiffs to reconsider #DEI-related research applications led to the funding of more than a hundred grants whose reviews had been paused.

But in comments made on a podcast posted Wednesday, NIH Director #Jay #Bhattacharya indicated the reprieve will be short-lived for the grants restored in June

They could be terminated over the next year.

On #ChristmasEve, I went to #NitzasPizza, in #Sherwoodpark, but left when they appeared closed.

Today, on #NewYearsEve, I went again, and they still looked closed.

Turned out their #lease was #terminated, just in time for the #ChristmasHolodays.

I fucking HATE #Capitalism.

Apple đã đình chỉ tài khoản phát triển viên của một người dùng vì "hành vi gian lận" dù không có cảnh báo trước. Người này không thực hiện các chiến dịch marketing đáng ngờ hay lừa dối UX, chỉ tập trung vào ASO. Đây là trường hợp phổ biến và cần lời khuyên để khắc phục.
