英国广播公司国际部可能面临经费削减
英国政府正在研究在支出审查中削减英国广播公司国际台的拨款。这家广播公司正为因最近宣布削减对外援助而导致其预算发生变化做准备。BBC总干事蒂姆•戴维表示，该公司正准备就这一决定的影响与外交部官员进行接触。他在给议会国际发展、文化和外交事务委员会主席的信中写道：“在过去的几天里，我们被要求准备与外交、联邦和发展办公室就削减海外发展开支的影响进行进一步接触。”国际部的大部分拨款来自正式的援助预算，小部分来自外交部的其他资金。政府官员表示，削减BBC国际部的拨款是正在考虑的措施之一，但坚称尚未做出最终决定。

elegram is updating its messaging app with options for auto-deleting messages, expiring invite links, and new unlimited groups, the company shared in a blog post. Much like Signal, Telegram received a burst of new users in the confusion over WhatsApp’s privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitors’ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegram’s encrypted Secret Chats, but this new update for iOS and Android adds the option to make messages disappear in any kind of chat. Auto-delete can be enabled inside of chats, and set to delete either 24 hours or seven days after messages are sent. Auto-delete won’t remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, it’ll stick around. Telegram’s competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.
Like a stock, you can buy and hold Bitcoin as an investment. You can even now do so in special retirement accounts called Bitcoin IRAs. No matter where you choose to hold your Bitcoin, people’s philosophies on how to invest it vary: Some buy and hold long term, some buy and aim to sell after a price rally, and others bet on its price decreasing. Bitcoin’s price over time has experienced big price swings, going as low as $5,165 and as high as $28,990 in 2020 alone. “I think in some places, people might be using Bitcoin to pay for things, but the truth is that it’s an asset that looks like it’s going to be increasing in value relatively quickly for some time,” Marquez says. “So why would you sell something that’s going to be worth so much more next year than it is today? The majority of people that hold it are long-term investors.”
