From Apple Park to Googleplex: On a Silicon Valley tech tourism trail
Also drop by: Uber’s global headquarters, a massive swathe of glass and steel, on Third Street, San Francisco. At Menlo Park, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Platforms has established nothing short of a city sprawled across a claimed 1 million square feet of office space. The most impressive, however, is Meta’s latest building—which the company claims houses “the world’s largest open-plan office space." From the outside, an iconic visitor attraction of Silicon Valley is the erstwhile Facebook’s signature address billboard—a big ‘like’ button placed on a blue background that will remind you of the Facebook platform of yore.

FAA investigating Boeing 737 ‘Dutch roll’ incident, ‘substantial’ damage
Boeing 737 jet owned by Southwest Airlines has been grounded amid a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) investigation into a rare mid-air manoeuvre called a “Dutch roll” that occurred mid-flight.The plane was travelling from Phoenix, Ariz., to Oakland, Calif., on May 25 when the yawing movement occurred nearly 32,000 feet (almost 9,750 metres) in the air.According to a 2022 Boeing safety pamphlet about Dutch rolls, the motion occurs when a plane moves in two axes as it tips from wingtip to wingtip while the tail rocks side to side. A Dutch roll can be caused by both wind and pilot input, but is nauseating for passengers in either circumstance.Federal officials said the Dutch roll may have been caused by damage to the jet’s backup power-control unit (PCU), which commands the jet’s vertical rudder.The damage was discovered during a post-flight inspection of the aircraft.The Boeing 737 has been grounded since the flight.
