Seattle-Based Starbucks Employees - Relocation Concerns Nashville Move

Starbucks is opening a new $100 million office in Nashville. There's only one issue: it's been challenging to get Seattle-based staff to move. To be sure, the new office will be home to 2,000 workers, and many of those roles will be brand new positions. But the company said today it's also moving part of its tech organization from Seattle, in addition to the roughly 100 sourcing workers it already offered relocations to. Workers' concerns range from a pay cut they'd have to take to align with the city's cheaper cost of living, a move to more conservative Tennessee from liberal Seattle, and concerns about uprooting their families. Starbucks said it will maintain a large presence in Seattle. If you work at Starbucks and have thoughts about this move (or anything else), I want to hear from you.

Highly Paid Millennial Women - Investment Strategies

Want to Retire Rich? Here Are Strategies You Can Deploy at Any Age Whether your workforce exit is three decades away or coming up next year, these tips can help This week, I’m alerting your attention to one of the most helpful financial tools I’ve come across in a long time. It’s a year-by-year guide to retiring rich — whether you’re at the beginning of your career or nearing the end. What I like about this retirement playbook, by my colleagueSuzanne Woolley, is that it’s realistic, takes age into account and is just a delight to read. Are you 30 years old? Take some risks in your asset mix and don’t feel pressured to sock away everything you’ve got. In your 40s? Protect your earnings potential, which is your greatest asset, and get smart about asset allocation. Or fast-forward to a year before retirement. At this point, you’re going to want to finish strong — making plans for Medicare, building a retirement “paycheck” and plotting out your withdrawal strategy. P.S. Send questions about your own financial dilemmas [email redacted]. We may get expert answers for you, and feature your question and the answer in an upcoming newsletter.

U.S. Online Sports Bettors - Smartphone App Use & Impact

Investigative reporters looking to speak to U.S. online sports bettors \*\*This post has been approved by the mods\*\* My name is Aaron Gordon, I’m a reporter at Bloomberg News. I am working with my colleague Polly Mosendz on a story about how online sports betting, particularly through smartphone apps, is changing the nature of gambling in the US. We are doing a data-driven investigation using different types of data sources about gambling transactions. But we also want to speak with people who have experience using these apps. The reason for this is because we want to know how people use them and match what we are seeing in the data with user behavior. To be clear, we are not doing this to place blame on anyone for how they used the app. We want to talk to you because there are some things in the data around user behavior that we can’t make sense of without talking to the people who used the apps most. For anyone who is comfortable discussing it, we also want to know how your gambling affected your life. The data we are working with is fundamentally about the people behind the bets and we want to hear what the data doesn’t show us. We are happy to speak to you anonymously, meaning we can quote you and use what you tell us in our reporting, but your identity will not be publicly revealed. Our goal is to shed light on who—other than the gambling companies themselves—are profiting from this significant change in sports betting behavior and how that impacts the lives of the people who use the apps the most. These may be things you know all too well. But most people do not. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about us, our work, and the story we’re doing. I can be reached at agordon254 at bloomberg dot net or via Reddit message (I will be more responsive via email). Our author pages are here if you want to see some of our recent work: https://www.bloomberg.com/authors/AW8Lm8Vgvt0/aaron-gordon https://www.bloomberg.com/authors/ASvDNWHqYdY/polly-mosendz Thanks for considering our request and to the mods for letting us post.

Photon-Counting Imaging Experts - Tesla Sun-Glare Claims

Reading over the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA documents again and this line really sticks out: "ODI reviewed certain public statements, including those made during an April 2025 earnings call, in which Tesla stated that it had developed a breakthrough “direct photon-counting” capability that eliminates the degradation that the camera-based system experiences when glare is encountered. At this time, ODI does not have information on when the update was deployed and which vehicles have the updated system." Astute Tesla investors will recall that analyst Colin Langan asked about this very issue of sun glare and FSD on that earnings call. You can listen to the statements in question in this story: https://lnkd.in/g9Pcrkjp And if you want to speak with me about photon counting or know more about the NHTSA Engineering Analysis now underway, give me a buzz: 415-617-7231 or [email redacted]

Iran Elite Power Case Studies for Bloomberg Originals Documentary

If you’re drawn to stories of international intrigue from Washington to Tehran with a mix of Big Oil, Wall Street, code names and hidden networks, this new documentary from Bloomberg Originals is for you. It’s the latest installment in several years of reporting focused on Iran’s aghazadeh or children of the elite. This film chronicles Hossein Shamkhani’s global trading empire. It’s a story of elite power, sanctions and wealth in a country now facing deep turmoil. With uncertainty around Iran’s leadership and the terrible loss of innocent lives – including children in recent attacks – it’s a moment to reflect on how power and privilege operate both offshore and at home. Special thanks to colleagues Sophia Chalmer, Leila Hussain and the team as well as the dozens of sources who opened up to us. As always, if you have input on a related storyline, I’d be keen to hear from you through secure channels.
