The verge does this thing where they republish the same article with different headlines over and over which results in this. They also do these “preview” articles before the actual reviews I’m assuming to “maximize engagement.”

Banks charge higher fees for credit transactions to fuel the loyalty programs (flyer miles, cash back, etc) on those cards. This is why you no longer get any loyalty benefits on debit cards but you still do on credit. The fees don’t cover the risk on credit cards , the interest does.

From the federal reserve directly : https://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/boardmeetings/frn-reg-ii-20231025.pdf Also, I guess what I meant is, the cap used to be 45 cents, and when it was reduced to 21 cents, there wasn’t some massive reduction in prices of products for consumers. Merchants just pocket that difference.

Check out FedNow. Basically a domestic government run payment system. Still pretty new and growing.

Fwiw debit card transaction are capped around 21 cents per transaction depending on the size of the bank holding the account. You’re right for credit cards though. Also, imho, I’ve never seen merchants pass along these debit card savings to the consumer. With they would though.

Wish I could upvote this twice.

This is cool but what I really want are rollable screen phones like from Earth Final Conflict.

Wonder where all the sponsorship is on the McLaren looks weird having the nose just be solid orange.

It’s worth “comparison shopping” with search engines. Run some common queries on multiple engines and see which ones fit what you like. Google takes up a lot of the mindshare for sure, but there are absolutely other options that will probably surprise you with how good they are.

Riccardo having an uncharacteristically good qualifying, p1 in q1 and making it to the top 10. Love to see it.

Miss that era and wish that there were more options for PCI “premium” sound cards. All of the fancy DACs and audio interfaces are seemingly USB.

But good enough for second in the drivers championship. Not looking good for a follow up on that though to be fair.

Russell with the moves on the first lap…only to have the bad strategy of the day and ending up in fourth has got to sting even though realistically he only had a real shot at 3rd. Great action though!

Wonder Showzen had some wild segments but was easily one of the most subversive shows on television.

Knowing Google, they will be fixed when the phone is released then broken after the first software update and never addressed again.

Does Red Bull have the opportunity to challenge this? Seemed like kmag was very reckless.

I originally read this as Haribo and got excited about the rich candy gaming universe we’ll never now know.

You can’t have a movie as big as avatar without it appealing to basically everyone, and thus, the “impact” is broad, not deep.

…annndddd it’s gone. - Google killing this feature in 18 months.
