Both 15-year fixed and 30-year fixed refinances saw their mean rates trend upward. The average rate on 10-year fixed refinance sank.

Like mortgage rates, refinance rates fluctuate on a daily basis. With inflation at a 40-year high, the Federal Reserve has hiked the federal funds rate five times in 2022 to try to slow surging inflation. Though mortgage rates are not set by the central bank, its rate hikes increase the cost of borrowing money and eventually impact mortgage and refinance rates and the broader housing market. Whether refinance rates will continue to rise or fall will depend largely on how things play out with inflation. If inflation cools, rates will likely follow suit. But if inflation remains high, we could see refinance rates maintain their upward trajectory.

If rates for a refi are currently lower than your existing mortgage rate, you could save money by locking in a rate now. As always, consider your goals and circumstances, and compare rates and fees to find a mortgage lender who can meet your needs.

30-year fixed-rate refinance

For 30-year fixed refinances, the average rate is currently at 7.07%, an increase of 3 basis points compared to one week ago. (A basis point is equivalent to 0.01%.) A 30-year fixed refinance will typically have lower monthly payments than a 15-year or 10-year refinance. This makes 30-year refinances good for people who are having difficulties making their monthly payments or simply want a bit more breathing room. However, interest rates for a 30-year

Intel Reports a Grim Quarter as PC Sales Slow, but Investors Are Happy

What’s happening

Intel’s revenue and profit continued to drop during hard economic times and a years-long effort to reclaim its technology lead, but a layoff and other cost cutting measures helped buoy the stock.

Why it matters

Intel is trying to bring more chipmaking work back to the United States after TSMC in Taiwan and Samsung in South Korea surpassed the company.

After months of being punished by skeptical investors, Intel’s stock rose in after-hours trading after the company reported better than expected profits on Thursday. But that was against a grim backdrop, as the chipmaker lowered its expectations for full-year results during hard economic conditions.

Intel reported net income of $1 billion, or 25 cents per share, for the third quarter, an 85% decrease from the previous year. Adjusting for items like stock compensation and restructuring chargers, its 59 cents per share of profit well exceeded estimates of 32 cents from analysts surveyed by Yahoo. Its $15.3 billion in revenue was close to the $15.2 billion expected.

Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger pointed to “worsening economic conditions” but said the company is cutting costs as a result, saving $3 billion in 2023 and $8 billion to $10 billion a year by 2025. That will include layoffs, he said during a conference call about the financial results.

Stock rose 6% to $27.85 in after-hours trading.

Intel lowered its full-year revenue estimate to $63 billion to $64 billion. That’s a drop of $2 billion to $4 billion from three months ago,

The human threat to abortion seekers

| Computer, Computers

In the years before Roe v. Wade, an anonymous group of Chicago-area women known only as The Janes came together to provide safe, clandestine abortions to pregnant people in need. Over the course of several years, the group provided over 11,000 abortions. when they were finally busted by the police in 1972, it wasn’t because of police surveillance or the group’s anti-war activism or even their willingness to provide abortions to the pregnant family members of police officers. It was a family member of a Jane patient who tipped off the police.

“Some nosey bitch tried to snitch on someone who needed an abortion,” says Renee Bracey Sherman, founder and executive director of the abortion storytelling organization We Testify.

Fifty years later, the threat that took down The Janes still looms large for people seeking abortion under criminalization. While activists rightly warn about text messages, browser history, and other digital evidence trails, it’s low-tech — and human — security breaches that often pose the greatest risk.

“The biggest threat to the privacy of abortion seekers is other people,” says Laura Huss, a senior researcher at If/When/How, a legal organization dedicated to protecting the rights of abortion patients. “People’s private information — like what they search for on the internet or text messages that they’ve sent to others — have come into evidence in cases where people have been charged with a crime for

Study Reveals The 10 Hardest Words of 2022

Back when Wordle popularity was at its absolute peaksocial media would be set alight if that day’s Wordle was a doozy. But what actually was the toughest world of 2022?

This’s precisely what gaming site im-a-puzzle attempted to figure out, trawling through data stored in a Twitter API called WordleStats. How does it work? Well, remember when absolutely everyone was posting their Wordle attempts on Twitter? WordleStats has been collecting that data, and calculating difficulty based on the relative success and failure of each puzzle.

Wordle 241 3/6

you asked for this 😂

So what were the hardest words? According to the numbers they are…

PARER
FOYER
CATCH
WATCH
MUMMY
CATER
COYLY
TRITE
FOUND
TACIT

And to be honest? Some of this checks out. A number of them — like FOYER or TACIT — feel like words I’d accidentally spell incorrectly. Others like PARER barely feel like words that actually exist. All of them, outside maybe CATER or FOUND, feel like words that might be difficult to solve using traditional Wordle techniques (loading up on vowels early, for example.)

But we absolutely have to take this study with the provenrbial grain of salt. Especially given that it was based on users posting on Twitter. It’s very possible more people failed on less obvious words that we didn’t post on Twitter. Or that people were more like to post successes if the word was deemed difficult.

After suffering a thumb injury that required surgery in week 1, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott expects to return this Sunday at home against the Detroit Lions. Dallas will gladly welcome back its starting QB as it tries to keep pace in the NFC East with the 6-0 Eagles and 5-1 Giants. While getting Prescott back is a boon for the Cowboys, their best player plays on defense, linebacker Micah Parsons, has been a one-man wrecking crew and will have his sights set on getting to Lions quarterback Jared Goff, a man not known for his mobility. The Lions and Cowboys kick off in Dallas at 1 pm ET (12 pm CT/10 am PT) on CBS.

The game will be shown on CBS in the Detroit and Dallas areas (according to 506 Sports) on live TV streaming services, but there may be cases where you’re blocked because of an internet location glitch or just want an added layer of privacy for streaming. There’s an option that doesn’t require subscribing to something like NFL Sunday Ticket or NFL Plusor searching the internet for a sketchy website: a virtual private network, or VPN.
