16 million Californians use TikTok. Soon, it could go away. What would that mean?

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

San Jose: The Bay Area’s first Burger Pit opened in 1953. The last one is closing Tuesday

mercurynews.com/2024/04/19/san-jose-the-first-burger-pit-opened-in-1953-the-last-one-is-closing-tuesday/

Quick Glance: San Jose: The End of Iconic Burger Pit After 71 Years

Paul Berger, the aptly named owner, closed the last Burger Pit location in San Jose after a surge of customers present until the closure on April 23, 2024.

The Burger Pit chain, originally founded in the 1950s by Albert Berger, will come to an end with the closing of the last location in the South Bay area.

Owner Berger, who upheld his father's philosophy of good food at reasonable prices, will close the business after 71 years and take the popular chili recipe to the grave.

Despite the nostalgic feel and popular dishes of Burger Pit, customers will primarily miss the conviviality as they bid farewell to long-time staff and the historic location.

Peninsula gas station charges $7.09 per gallon for regular: A gas station on the Peninsula is giving drivers some extreme sticker shock.

Quick Glance: Menlo Park Gas Station Charges $7.09 Per Gallon for Regular

A gas station on the Peninsula is causing extreme price shocks for drivers. The Chevron station in Menlo Park is charging $7.09 per gallon for regular, $7.45 for plus, and $7.69 for supreme. This is at least a dollar higher than neighboring stations and well above the California average of $5.42.

According to AAA, gas stations set their own prices, and it depends on when they purchase their gas. If they buy their gas wholesale when oil prices are high, they need to sell it at that price to make a profit.

AAA Northern California spokesperson John Treanor mentioned that gas prices have been elevated recently due to increased demand in spring, higher costs of the summer blend, and rising crude oil prices influenced by Middle East turmoil.

AAA states that gas prices are expected to stabilize at this point.

Quick Glance: Tesla Layoffs Impact Bay Area with Over 2,750 Jobs Lost

Tesla mass layoffs hit Bay Area's Fremont and Palo Alto facilities, resulting in over 2,750 job cuts. The job cuts are part of a broader 10% workforce reduction at Tesla, affecting various locations.

The layoffs are set to commence on June 14, impacting employees across multiple sites in Fremont and Palo Alto. In addition, significant job losses will occur in Lathrop, Burbank, and Austin, totaling thousands of affected workers.

Tesla's decision to eliminate a large portion of its workforce stems from the need to reduce costs amidst industry challenges. CEO Elon Musk emphasized the necessity of these layoffs despite their impact on employees and communities.

The company's restructuring plan reflects a shift in focus and operational strategies to address market dynamics, including declining stock value and competitive pressures in the electric vehicle sector. Tesla's future direction aims to navigate these challenges while maintaining its position in the industry.

Quick Glance: Major Workforce Reduction at California Solar Company

SunPower Corporation is planning to reduce more than a quarter of its workforce to address a prolonged downturn in rooftop solar energy.

The closure of residential solar installation sites and the discontinuation of the direct sales unit are part of a shift to a low fixed-cost model, as mentioned by SunPower's CEO Tom Werner in an employee memo on the company's website.

The announcement comes a day after SunPower stated the need to reassess financial results spanning nearly two years, adding to a series of challenging developments for the pioneering solar industry leader.

The rooftop solar energy industry is facing difficulties due to high interest rates increasing the cost of solar panel installations, and California, the largest solar market, has reduced payments to households and businesses selling excess solar energy back to the grid, significantly impacting the industry.

Mayor Matt Mahan assisted in installing a new automatic license plate reader camera at the corner of King Road and Wilshire Boulevard to monitor the neighborhood.

The use of ALPR technology in the city has aided in the arrest of around 200 suspects and recovery of stolen vehicles worth $2 million in the past.

Funding for the city's network of Flock cameras came from a mix of the city's general fund, allocations from last year's budget, and a grant for combating organized retail theft.

Despite the increasing popularity of ALPR technology among Bay Area city officials, privacy advocates remain concerned about storing data for a year in San Jose, heightening the risk of information exposure in a data breach.

Quick Glance: A South Bay Couple's Journey to Find Their First Home Amid Expecting a Baby

Nishant Singh and Apeqsha Dudani decided to purchase a $1.5 million home in the Bay Area upon learning they are expecting a daughter in July. Despite high interest rates and fierce market competition, their budget ranged between $1.3 and $1.5 million.

Prioritizing a single-family home with at least three bedrooms and space for parental visits in a good school district, they opted for a $1,339,000 house in South San Jose after considering various options in San Jose and Fremont.

Although initially aiming not to spend more than $1.5 million, an offer of $1.625 million allowed them to secure the house. Despite the higher price, they achieved a $1,200 monthly savings on the mortgage and look forward to preparing their new home for their daughter.

Two weeks after moving in, they are still adjusting to homeownership and plan to prepare the house for their daughter. Despite initial concerns about distance from friends, they are excited to host events and gatherings, including a baby shower in June.

Quick Glance: Majority of Seattle-area Renters Report Significant Rent Increases in Past 12 Months

While rents in the Seattle area and nationally surged in the early pandemic years, the rental market seems to have calmed since 2023, providing some relief to local tenants.

However, recent survey data from the US Census Bureau suggests that the majority of renters in the Seattle area may not agree with these reports.

Out of the estimated 658,000 individuals who experienced rent hikes, approximately 113,000 had a relatively minor increase of under $100. A significantly larger group - around 306,000 - saw their rent rise between $100 and $249 per month.

Established in 2020 as a response to the pandemic, the initiative aimed to inform authorities and policymakers about the pandemic's effects on communities nationwide and offer data to support recovery post-pandemic.

Sports radio personality David Weiglein, known as 'Carmichael Dave', opposes the temporary relocation of the Oakland Athletics to Sacramento by Kings owner Vivek Ranadive.

Weiglein argues that bringing the Oakland Athletics to Sacramento is wrong due to owner John Fisher being considered one of the worst in sports and advocates for the A's to remain in Oakland.

He cautions that Sacramento would receive a bad reputation as game attendance might dwindle after the initial novelty wears off, leaving loyal fans feeling duped.

Weiglein draws a parallel to the heroic story of saving the Sacramento Kings from moving to Seattle, emphasizing his refusal to engage with an owner like Fisher.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.
