billion from the market value of facebook's parent. to give you an idea of how big that is. that's bigger than at&t's whole market cap. meta platforms warning users that are are spending more time on other apps such as tiktok. facebook, in fact, lost daily users for the first time during a quarter in its history. ceo mark zuckerberg says increasing competition will put pressure on meta's advertising business. certainly on the reality lab side where they are investing. there's a lot of losses there as well. the stock down about 20% in pre-market trading, and if those losses hold today, it will be the worst day since facebook went public back in 2012. speaking of other media companies in social media, twitter is apparently working on a new featurecality articles.

cnet says it would allow them to poet long form articles within the app not limited to the 130-character limit. twitter telling cnet they are always looking at new ways to help people start and engage in conversation. i finally just figured out how to be able to do several posts at once and that you could go back and edit them before you put them all out, so i -- i'm a little slow that way. >> that's pretty nifty though, the edit feature. >> okay. need it. >> thank you, bertha. 4:44. how far would you go to get a dream job? >> coming up here on "today in the bay," how one person is trying to snag a job with pixar and how the internet is helping her achieve it. >> as you're standing in front of the closet and trying to figure out what to wear. some spots starting out chilly. but it will warm up nicely today

so probably some layers. we'll talk about the forecast ahead. >> and "the nimitz." a nice drive here. looking at some slowing though as you're coming into fremont out of union city and also another spot also coming into fremont. a note about that as well. 5-hour energy... 'cause it's time to hit the gym and work up a sweat. and you're going to need some energy. lots of energy. 5-hour energy...for every workout.

must be magic. hefty® ultra strong™ with fabuloso® scent. good thursday morning. right now at 1:47 as you're

waking up and heading out. we have a cold start this morning, but it's all clear and still maybe a little bit of a breeze, but the wind will be much calmer as we go into today. yesterday we heard from the groundhog and what it's expecting for our season. let's take a look at what the climate prediction center says for the month of february. so it shows our temperature outlook will be a little bit warmer than normal. we've had some cool weather lately. it's actually been right where we should have our temperatures for late january into early february, but it does look warmer as we head through the forecast and that may continue throughout the rest money. as far as rainfall. we know it's been dry and that also looks like it will persist through the next several weeks across the bay area, unfortunately. let's talk about our temperatures. los gatos, temperatures in the low 67s. not a huge range from the coast to inland areas and we look at pleasanton. up to 60 degrees today and then

near the coast we have a high of 59 in half moon bay. san francisco also seeing temperatures near 60 degrees today, and that breeze will keep the temperatures from feeling so chilly like we've had with napa today reaching 36. >> also no change in our weather pattern. a strong area of high pressure still keeping the rain away from us and steering it farther north. that's part of the reason why we do expect this dry weather to persist and as of now we've seen some improvement and we're still in a severe brought across the area, and we may see the change. the update comes up in about a minute. if you missed it i'll post it on social media and still looking at extremely dry conditions here even as we go into the next couple of weeks as we see the sunshine, it and take a look at that temperature trend headed for the low 70s. >> you're attracting a little

bit in the east bay. >> we'll be over here at 7:00. this is not here right now as we look at the map. 880 should be just about clear. the speed sensors have gone back to green. caltrans says things are back open. the bright side tunnel still closing off 84. that's the reason for the overnight closures. 680 and a drive through contra costa county. it's a clear easy drive across that span. >> there we go. >> thanks so much, make. 450. all applied for jobs. a bay-area art student has

become an online sensation for her efforts to land her dream job at pixar. our business and tech reporter scott budman explains she didn't just apply she's posting a resume where the company is sure to see it. >> art student jesse plasencia say playing for a job in an unusual but creative way. >> i'm willing to do anything to get my shot. >> that means showing up right in front of pixar headquarters to show them what she can do. >> i kind of just try to come here and get used to drawing every day at my dream studios. >> using chalk art to show her schools, drawing characters made famous in pixar movies. >> jesse who has named after a pixar character in "toy story 2" may still be waiting for the company to call but she's already a huge hit on tiktok

with more than 4 million views so far. >> it's really cool connecting with that many people, but the only opinions that matter to me are the professional artists here. >> and pixar employees have already noticed her and her work. >> and one of the art directors kind of -- he was riding his boy, and he stopped midway in the middle of the road and he's like i found you, it's you. you're the one that's been doing it. yeah, it's me. >> jesse says she appreciates the feedback she's been getting from actual pixar employees but says she also took the time to accepted in an actual application for the position. now she waits and hopes her sidewalk resume leads to her dream job. scott budman, "today in the bay." >> how cool is that. way to go, jesse. >> 4:52 for you. as many struggle to make it in the bay. tens of thousands of places are vacant in san francisco right

now, so a new report done by the city shows that more than 40,000 housing units are empty, about 10% of the available housing in the city. for the majority not affordable. well, the city now considering what vancouver did to address the problem. >> they passed an empty home tax, and when vancouver did that, they actually saw the vacancy rates in the city by drop by over 20% once they instituted that tax, so we think that's the strongest thing that the city could do is to incentivize these owners to either rent out the property or sell it to someone who wants to live there. >> most housing advocates believe a tax would help solve the problem. >> teeing o.still ahead, a preview of the highly anticipated pebble beach pro-am and the famous faces expected to be spotted out on the green. >> after years of delays, it's

finally open. starting this morning you can cross the pedestrian bridge that was originally decided to open in 2018. the price tag, $41 million. we'll be right back.
