Ikea showrooms are being listed on Australian Airbnb

Most kids want to stay overnight at the museum of planetarium. But certain weirdos, like me, always wanted to sleep over at Ikea, amongst the endless rows of futons and 99 cent Swedish doo-dads. Now, we’re getting our chance, thanks to an Airbnb promo with Ikea that will rent out beds overnight.

Just one problem (unless you’re an Aussie): The participating Ikeas are in Australia. In both Perth and Sydney, Ikea will give groups a chance to rent out sections of its “sets” for the night, in a partnership headed up by Airbnb. There won’t be any charge, save a $12 admin fee on Airbnb’s side, and according to The Sydney Morning Herald, everyone gets to walk away with the whimsically Nordic sheets they slept on. Plus, free Ikea breakfast, which is the greatest gift of all.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
