  1. SPARE CHANGE: CHOOSING THE RIGHT CREDIT CARD

    I recently applied for a new credit card and was reminded just how confusing the process can be. There are so many options, all with different perks, rewards systems, and fee structures, that it’s difficult to figure out the right one for you. The truth is, the best credit card is different for everyone and really comes down to understanding your own spending habits and financial […]

  2. 🇵🇹🤖 Oh look, another "groundbreaking" #language #model that only cost taxpayers 5.5 million Euros. Clearly, #Portugal will soon dominate the world of #LLMs, because nothing says cutting-edge like a report that's so riveting you can't even finish the sentence before running out of steam. 🙄✨

But... it also calls for debilitating reductions in #research #funding. Furthermore, Trump appointees have already been strangling #science by sharply reducing the rate at which research #grants are approved." Very bad news, @MichaelEMann.

  16. A quotation from Terry Pratchett

       The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
       Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
       But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

    Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
    Discworld No. 15, Men at Arms (1993)

  17. Together, the ideas sum to a fiscal blueprint that could add trillions of dollars to the brimming federal #debt over the next decade, if lawmakers translate Trump’s full vision into #law without other changes to federal #spending.

    #Trump urged #Congress to approve the new #defense money, >$1.1 trillion, as part of its work to fund the government, & to enact the remaining $350 billion using the same #legislative tactic that allowed #Republicans to clinch their tax cuts last year.

  18. theguardian.com/commentisfree/; theguardian.com/commentisfree/. "The upshot for #Americans is that this country will be less powerful globally. The ability to apply #financial #sanctions only works if you control the levers of international #finance... Our #borrowing #costs will also go up as #demand for the #dollar diminishes - which means higher #prices... In the longer term it may also mean #austerity - if we can’t borrow to finance #spending... we’ll have to cut expenses to balance #budgets."
