Google Assistant can do an insane amount of stuff, and the list of features grows larger with each passing year — especially thanks to better generative AI support. So, just like me, it sounds like Google Assistant’s New Year’s Resolution is to shed some of the extra weight — and will be losing 17 “underutilized” features in the coming weeks.  According to Google’s announcement, it wants to focus on “experiences you love and investing in the underlying technology to make… Source link

One goal of the Federal Reserve’s efforts to rein in inflation is to get the housing market “back into balance between supply and demand,” according to Fed Chair Jay Powell. The problem?

The U.S. government believes that Iran may try to assassinate current or former senior American officials to avenge the death more than two years ago of its top military and intelligence commander, according to an intelligence report obtained by Yahoo News. In January 2020, the Trump administration conducted a drone strike that killed Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani while he was on a trip to Iraq.

Between a tanking stock market, soaring inflation, and mounting recession fears, Americans are turning on the economy. And somewhere, Vladimir Putin is probably smiling about it. Amid all the chaos, inflation has become the biggest financial concern of nearly every American as prices rise for everything from gas to groceries. There are several reasons that inflation reached a 40-year-high of 8.6% last month, including rising rents and labor costs. But economists say a major driver is Russia’s… Source link

The upstart LIV Golf Invitational Series, a Saudi-backed proposed competitor to the PGA Tour, continues to suffer setback after setback, some external and some very much self-inflicted. Earlier this week, the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour) both indicated they would not give their players releases to play in LIV Golf’s inaugural event early next month. On Wednesday, LIV Golf chief executive Greg Norman threw gasoline on the fire by appearing to downplay the killing… Source link

When Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., announced on Fox News on Sunday that he won’t vote for the current version of Build Back Better, experts predicted he may have single-handedly killed the world’s best hope of avoiding catastrophic climate change. In order to avoid breaching the 1.5 degrees Celsius threshold that will trigger a cascade of devastating effects, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has said that global emissions of the greenhouse gasses that cause climate change must… Source link
