Tech & InnovationData center shares fall as investors expect slower AI buildout after Democrats win Congress; Hut 8 drops 23%, IREN 11%, Core Scientific 10%, Applied Digital 7%

If you’re planning large-scale deployments, assume permitting, siting, and incentives could tighten and bake that friction into your timelines and vendor exposure.
Tech & InnovationA lifetime license for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more is only $49.97
Sub-$50 “lifetime” Office 2024 licenses are a reminder that core productivity suites are effectively commoditized. If your product’s value prop is “we’re like Office but with X,” expect brutal pricing pressure as incumbents fold AI into these already-cheap bundles.
