Probably it does cost less - one imagines rent in Mogadishu is cheaper than in NYC - unless you're somewhere very unstable. But, I think it doesn't cost nearly as much less as it would in other industries, e.g., manufacturing. T

This reminded me of something else. I once was searching for gender neutral names, and a few pages* down, it turned into pages* of pretty much the exact same thing: "Gender-neutral baby names are increasing in popularity". The sni

Except...what if the website is primarily targeted at people in a developing country who might not be able to pay, even if they wanted to? Then useful websites, providing useful information, would vanish. Your idea is good if the people are

Ok, maybe 11 has some features (like AI trash, privacy invading trash, Microsoft Edge hawking trash, et cetera). But if Microsoft is willing to pull the plug on the most popular OS in the world just four years after introducing Windows 11,

Here's the full list: https://support.google.com/translate/answer/15139004 . Still no Ladino, for the however-many-people (one?) were hoping that they'd add it. (Ladino, for those wondering, is a Jewish l

More pedantry: Population density would make more sense in this context, but it's also not true. It's the most densely populated major city in the US, but that's definitely not the world. Per the same article, by city limits
