Selling your home is a major decision, and it usually comes with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. You might be thinking about your next move, your financial goals, or how quickly you want everything to happen. Before you jump into listing photos and open houses, it helps to understand a few key factors that can shape the entire selling experience. From who you choose to work with to which updates are actually worth your time and money, small choices can have a big impact. Knowing what to focus on early in your residential home sale can help you feel confident and prepared as you move forward.
Getting Smarter About Risk: How Multifamily Operators are Beating the Next Rate Hike | The Startup Magazine
A multifamily property is more than merely a collection of apartments—it’s a living ecosystem of residents, staff, and multifamily property operations systems that all have to work together every single day.
From leaky pipes and roof wear to storm damage and routine repairs, keeping these buildings running smoothly has always depended on a balance between good management and reliable insurance.
But, that balance is starting to shift. As multifamily property insurance renewals head into 2026, insurers are relying less on pricing alone and more on higher deductibles and retained risk. They are quietly changing how everyday property damage is paid for—and who ultimately bears the cost.
The science of soulmates: is there someone out there exactly right for you? | BBC News
On Valentine’s Day, there’s the temptation to believe that somewhere out there is “The One”: a soulmate, a perfect match, the person you were meant to be with.
Across history, humans have always been drawn to the idea that love isn’t random. In ancient Greece, Plato imagined that we were once whole beings with four arms, four legs and two faces, so radiant that Zeus split us in two; ever since, each half has roamed the earth searching for its missing other, a myth that gives the modern soulmate its poetic pedigree and the promise that somewhere, someone will finally make us feel complete.
In the Middle Ages, troubadours and Arthurian tales recast that longing as “courtly love”, a fierce, often forbidden devotion like Lancelot’s for Guinevere, in which a knight proved his worth through self-sacrifice for a beloved he might never openly declare.
Trump revokes landmark ruling that greenhouse gases endanger public health | BBC News
US President Donald Trump has reversed a key Obama-era scientific ruling that underpins all federal actions on curbing planet-warming gases.
The so-called 2009 “endangerment finding” concluded that a range of greenhouse gases was a threat to public health. It’s become the legal bedrock of federal efforts to rein in emissions, especially in vehicles.
The White House called the reversal the “largest deregulation in American history”, saying it would make cars cheaper, bringing down costs for automakers by $2,400 per vehicle.
Environmental groups say the move is by far the most significant rollback on climate change yet attempted and are set to challenge it in the courts.
AI Can Delete Your Data. Here’s Your Prevention Plan. | Entrepreneur
Never feel that you are totally safe. In July 2025, one company learned the hard way after an AI coding assistant it dearly trusted from Replit ended up breaching a “code freeze” and implemented a command that ended up deleting its entire product database.
This was a huge blow to the staff. It effectively meant that months of extremely hard work, comprising 1,200 executive records and 1,196 company records, ended up going away. The pain was so much that the system even admitted to destroying hard work in a matter of seconds.
This proves that AI systems are not yet as reliable as humans, even though they have made work easier. The system itself made a catastrophic decision. The Replit incident should be a stern message to CEOs that the use of AI systems currently also presents a risk. The tools are not yet fully developed and competent. If they fail, they can cause catastrophic damage and erase your data.
How Will the Economy Perform in 2026? These 7 People Will Tell You. | Entrepreneur
I generally ignore government data because it is subject to significant revisions and, in many cases, relies on older methodologies. I also pay little attention to the countless surveys sent to me because their methodology and sample sizes are often dubious, and survey sponsors frequently have an agenda (“our survey shows that small businesses lack customer service software,” says a firm that sells customer service software).
So, where do you go to really find out how the economy is faring?
America is a capitalist economy, and it runs on three critical components: capital, consumers, and jobs. Follow those, and you’ll know.
Discord will soon require age verification for adult content | Mashable
The messaging platform Discord announced Monday that all user accounts will default to teen safety settings beginning in March.
Discord, which has more than 200 million global monthly active users, will restrict adult content and spaces. In order to access those parts of Discord or change related settings, an individual must verify their age. If the platform has independently assessed an account as having a high likelihood of belonging to an adult, the user will not need to go through an age assurance process.
Discord will use the third-party verification service k-ID for age and identification checks and rely on an inference model with hundreds of signals, like account tenure and activity data, to detect the accurate age of an account holder.
ChatGPT ads: OpenAI is rolling them out now | Mashable
OpenAI has begun rolling out ads inside ChatGPT, marking a major shift for a product that has largely operated without traditional advertising since its launch in 2022.
In a blog post published this week, the company confirmed it is testing ads for logged-in users on its Free and Go plans in the U.S., while keeping paid tiers like Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Education ad-free. OpenAI said the move will help fund broader access to advanced AI tools without requiring every user to pay a subscription.
“Our focus with this test is learning,” OpenAI’s blog post read. “We’re paying close attention to feedback so we can make sure ads feel useful and fit naturally into the ChatGPT experience before expanding.”
Why the Super Bowl is always so expensive | CNN Business
The Super Bowl isn’t a regular football game – and its ticket prices reflect that.
With a limited supply and a voracious demand, the Super Bowl functions more like a luxury good, and the forces keeping it that way are unlikely to change anytime soon.
This year’s Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California is no exception. The cheapest seat available on TickPick, a secondary reseller, as of Friday afternoon was over $3,800, with the average ticket costing more than $6,200
What parents need to know about Trump Accounts: An FAQ | CNN Business
There has been a lot of attention paid to the new Trump Accounts – especially the promised $1,000 federal government contributions for eligible newborns and the public declarations by companies and philanthropists that they will be making contributions, too.
But the fine print on exactly how the accounts will work is still emerging and there is a lot of information and press releases to sort through from the Treasury, the IRS, the White House and the official site trumpaccounts.gov.
