Here is a concise summary of the news article: The recent tech job meltdown, with over half a million layoffs since 2023, is not solely due to COVID, AI, or overhiring. A significant factor is the change in the US tax code, specifically Section 174, which governs the tax treatment of research and development (R&D) expenditures. Prior to 2022, companies could deduct 100% of R&D costs immediately, but the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 amended this section, requiring companies to capitalize and amortize R&D costs over 5 years for domestic research and 15 years for foreign research. This change increased taxable income for businesses, leading to layoffs, particularly in the tech sector. Companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon have responded by offshoring R&D to countries with more favorable tax regimes, resulting in US job losses. The author argues that this tax change has cratered the growth model of many tech companies, which relied on immediate expensing of R&D costs, and has introduced friction into about a quarter of the American economy. Repealing this tax change could help boost the US economy and encourage companies to invest in American-made tech and digital products.

Here is a concise summary of the news article: Nepal's economic landscape is mixed, with a surge in stock market turnover and gold prices, but delays in infrastructure projects like the Postal Highway and Rahughat Hydropower. The government is prioritizing tunnels and overpasses, but budget allocations and execution capacity are questionable. Regulatory shifts, such as softened penalties for manpower agencies, indicate a tendency towards appeasement. Meanwhile, localized success stories like Jumla's farmers benefiting from indigenous crop commercialization showcase the potential of targeted initiatives. Other notable developments include the introduction of a new Cyber Security Bill, a faltering industrial land policy, and increasing insurance claims disputes. The government has also allocated funds for municipal road construction and 5G expansion, with Ncell estimating NPR 46 billion needed for a nationwide rollout.

Nanjing University Suzhou Affiliated Primary School, located in Suzhou High-tech Zone Science and Technology City, has been officially put into use since September 2024. The school's design focuses on integrating nature, environmental education, openness, and inclusiveness, abandoning traditional primary school models that emphasize efficiency. The campus is surrounded by a unique natural landscape, with the Taihu Lake to the west and mountains to the east, as well as two winding rivers on the southeast sides. To minimize construction interference from planned rail transit on the west side, the design includes a sports field as a buffer zone, a cultural and sports comprehensive area in the middle, and the core teaching area on the east side. Multiple green building technologies are used to create a resilient campus that meets the educational needs of the new era. The design incorporates a winding corridor system, modular professional classroom clusters, and a composite courtyard system that combines privacy and openness. The school's design also includes a "five-minute reach circle" concept, with multiple functional rooms and activity spaces stacked in a three-dimensional manner. The western building block focuses on the core public activity area, with a cafeteria at the heart of the building complex and a sports hall above it featuring an openable glass ceiling. The library is placed at the best viewing position facing south, with folded perforated metal panels as external shading, and readers can enjoy the river landscape through French windows. Two large conference spaces are located in the northwest corner, including a stepped lecture hall and a multifunctional hall. The design proposes a "resilient campus for environmental education" paradigm, which is not only the creation of physical space but also a reinterpretation of the essence of education. The campus should have adaptability and growth like a living organism, with spatial resilience, functional resilience, and emotional resilience. The building surpasses its container properties and becomes a three-dimensional textbook that nourishes life resilience, with features such as porous courtyard layouts, composite venues, and material touch and color psychology. The design aims to create a vibrant hub connecting the community and nature, with a unique natural advantage and a focus on environmental education and sustainability.
