27% of homes sold, not 27% of US homes. The title is completely misleading.
Not a shocker, given high interest rates usually drive down prices, and investors are not getting mortgages. Great investment to keep value, not so much for growth.

False equivalence. Politicians aren’t scientists, and people do criticize programmers all the time. I got at least 3 complaints at work today about bugs in our software.

Put their WiFi router inside a faraday’s cage and wire a modem behind it. That should shave off the $25/mo.

It doesn’t matter. Jim Bean doesn’t compete with an R&D software company. The R&D software company does compete with other companies in different jurisdictions with better regulations.

Not GP, but the tagline above the fold doesn’t tell anything related to the actual value prop. Modular, extensions etc are implementation details. Git-native? I had an “idea” of what that meant, but had to scroll down to confirm.

No. You can very much call your project that is running locally without any internet connection.

I don’t see how that happened in this case. They were able to talk to someone and get it fixed.

Yes. It’s well known that SMBs would immensely benefit from the same practices Fortune 500 companies adopt. /s

Latin America is “just” 33 countries each with their own culture (not to mention Brazil with its massive size).

I doubt it. Google is shoving Gemini on everyone’s face through search, and Meta AI is embedded in every Meta product. Heck, instagram created a bot marketplace.
They might not “know” the brand as well as ChatGPT, but the average consumer has definitely been exposed to those at the very least.
DeepSeek also made a lot of noise, to the point that, anecdotally, I’ve seen a lot of people outside of tech using it.

Please, tell me which part of the world has higher minimum wage and lower prices. I dare you.

Potato - potato. Doesn’t really matter that it was a response, the chain of events is still the same, so are the results. It the end of the day, just one more example of unintended consequences of legislation.

Which is much more gruesome and makes a lot more sense. I expect more hesitancy in potentially killing the prince than kissing a frog.

How is measuring something in 3 1/16" better than 8mm? Conversely, how is that not worse?
You can measure from 1nm to 1Em using a simple decimal scale, while with imperial you have to handle conversion from twip to inches to foot to yard to mile to league, all using different scales.
