Subscribe Wednesday, March 16, 2022 Inflation is raging at a pace not seen in 40 years, making it a near certainty that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates at the conclusion of its policy-setting meeting this afternoon.

Google Domains, the company’s domain registration service, is losing the beta tag after first launching more than seven years ago, Google announced Tuesday. The service is now generally available in 26 countries, and the company says it already has “millions of active registrations.” If you register with Google Domains, you can pick from more than 300 different domain endings, have access to “high performance DNS” (Google says it’s the same infrastructure it uses for itself),… Source link

Defiance has been the fuel to everything Russell Westbrook has been and accomplished in his NBA career. It didn’t matter what his critics or opponents said, because very often his play — or rather the result of his performances — had the last word. Now, as he’s underperformed in a Los Angeles Lakers uniform, the greatest initiator of pressure in the NBA, he’s seeing and hearing everything and no longer has the game to mute all the noise. An athlete in decline is the main course here,… Source link

For a dozen years, Matthew Stafford watched the NFL’s playoff carnival go off either without him, or with his role limited to bit player. He threw for 49,995 regular-season yards and 282 touchdowns for the Detroit Lions but had virtually nothing tangible (other than a lot of money, of course) to show for it. Three meager wild-card appearances. Three losses by an average of 13.7 points. There was lots of couch time watching not just great quarterbacks play in, and win, big games, but even… Source link

SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob says he’s not a tweeter, but if he were to send a tweet, he knows exactly what it would say. “I would tweet, ‘Tonight Chase Center is finally finished with construction,’ ” Lacob told Yahoo Sports Sunday night after Klay Thompson made his season debut after spending nearly two years recovering from ACL and Achilles tears. “We’re halfway through our third year in this building, and I feel like Klay is the final piece to the… Source link

If you’ve ever texted with an Android user, you know how conversations can quickly get overrun with “Jason laughed at” this or “Roman liked” that messages. As soon as an Android user joins a group conversation, Apple’s iMessage reaction expressions turn to text prompts so no one misses out on what’s happening. That’s changing thanks to the latest Google Messages update that’s rolling out. According to 9to5Google, who previously dug through the APK for a beta version… Source link
