3D-Printed Gun Pioneer Claims Tool Can Bypass New York's Printer Detection Law

Cody Wilson, known for creating the world's first 3D-printed gun, says he has developed a tool that can circumvent software designed to prevent 3D printers from producing firearms. The move comes in response to a New York law, championed by Governor Kathy Hochul, that mandates gun-file detection software on new 3D printers — the first such regulation in the United States. Wilson has named his alleged workaround 'Hochulization' as a pointed reference to the governor. The development signals the start of an ongoing conflict between regulators seeking to curb untraceable ghost guns and individuals attempting to defeat those restrictions.

Zillow and Redfin settle FTC antitrust case over rental listings deal

The Federal Trade Commission has reached a settlement with Zillow and Redfin, resolving antitrust allegations tied to a 2025 rental listings partnership between the two companies. The FTC had claimed Zillow paid Redfin to syndicate its listings while Redfin agreed to drop its own advertising contracts and refrain from competing with Zillow in the multifamily listings market. Under the settlement, Redfin may continue syndicating Zillow's rental listings but must do so free of the original deal's anticompetitive conditions. Redfin is also required to revive its own rental listings advertising business, which it had shut down as part of the partnership agreement. The resolution aims to restore competition in the online rental listings market.

Robotaxi Expansion Stalls Across US as Labor Groups and Lawmakers Push Back

Autonomous taxi services are growing in the United States, but regulatory and political resistance is mounting in several states. In New York, Governor Kathy Hochul withdrew a proposal to allow driverless robotaxis outside New York City following opposition from taxi drivers, unions, and lawmakers, leaving commercial driverless service still illegal statewide. In Washington DC, labor unions are actively opposing legislation to legalize commercial robotaxis, while lawmakers are considering a 200-vehicle cap and a 15-cent-per-mile fee to fund public transit upgrades and support displaced workers. The debates reflect a broader national tension between the rapid technological advancement of autonomous vehicles and the concerns of workers and regulators over safety, jobs, and oversight.
