In theory, it's what's most popular on Reddit, but it's actually what is liked by the most active users on Reddit-which is not the same thing.

For many years, Tony Tran's daughters begged him to hang Christmas lights outside their San Jose home. He kept saying, Next year. Tran finally relented in 2018 and strung a few light strings. But his decorative ambitions really shot up to a whole new level when he, his wife and his then-teenaged daughters needed a family project during the COVID-19 lockdown. My daughters said, We can't go out of the house, and we could put on a really nice display for the neighborhood,' Tran said.

After yesterday's debacle in which approximately $1 trillion in market capitalization was erased from the stock market, some technology stocks are still hunting a bottom. With the Nasdaq Composite now down 3% for the month of November so far, the AI rally has lost its steam for the time being as the markets wrestle with bullish fundamentals overshadowed by negative headlines. While the selling hasn't been pretty for the bulls, it does not appear to be over, at least not yet.

Despite his vast fortunes, Elon Musk has an incredible ability to turn an enterprise into radioactive waste. Tesla, for example, has suffered unprecedented brand damage owing to Musk's rampage through the federal government, while the Boring Company is becoming a nearly $1 billion disaster.

It's been less than a week since OpenAI completed its for-profit restructuring that saw Microsoft lose its ability to retain a stranglehold on the AI firm's computing resources, and Altman and company have already inked a $38 billion deal with AWS to start data crunching in another cloud.

And while it is true that Jobs was as charismatic as Clooney and as manipulative as Machiavelli, the legend we helped him construct served many purposes beyond pumping up his own ego.

New graduates are leaving college and heading into a tough labor market-entry-level roles are dwindling, managers are wary of hiring Gen Z candidates, and AI continues to automate more jobs.

The $1.8 trillion technology company has a few entry-level jobs on the market: a Full-stack software engineer, and multiple product software engineer roles.

This beat stemmed from robust orders for advanced nodes like 3-nanometer (nm) and 5nm, which power Nvidia's GPUs and Apple's latest processors. Advanced technologies, defined as 7nm and more advanced technologies, accounted for 74% of total wafer revenue.
