Your savings will grow faster in this account. Kristina Kokhanova/Getty Images Until recently, reviewing the interest earned on my savings account was a snoozefest. If I was lucky, my balance increased a whole cent or two each month. Interest rates -- like temperatures -- are high right now. You just need to look in the right place. Instead of the meager annual percentage yield I'm getting with my current savings account, I can net up to 4.5% APY with one of today's top CDs. That means my inte

Between 2022 and 2023, China installed over half of all global robotics installed throughout the globe, scoring the second-highest annual robot deployment ever recorded — a close runner up to its own previous record, which it set between 2021 and 2022.

Sometimes when people talk about a problem in society, they strongly imply that most people are stupid. This is wrong. Most people aren’t super knowledgeable about a lot of specific facts about the world (only half of Americans can name the 3 branches of government) but they’re intelligent when it comes to their own lives and the areas they work and spend time in. We should expect the average person to struggle with factual questions about abstract ideas and far-off events, but not so much abou
