What's behind the stock market's brutal 2-day crash? - Fortune (No
paywall)

One factor experts say likely wasn’t at play? Steep losses from
mega-cap names, Hatfield added, were likely not a big driver of the
market dip. Intel shares plunged 26% after the company reported a big
earnings miss and announced mass layoffs, while Amazon’s stock fell
9% after a disappointing earnings call. But Apple, America’s largest
company, emerged from Friday’s session slightly up.

As Donald Trump seeks a second presidential term, front and center
among the achievements he’s touting is the federal Right to Try law
he signed in 2018. It was intended to let people who are terminally
ill try experimental treatments when there were no approved options
and they couldn’t participate in clinical trials. Over the six years
of its existence, the law has not lived up to that promise.

THE MARKET reaction was brutal. On August 1st Intel released a dismal
set of results. The semiconductor giant’s sales were down by 1%,
year on year, and the company declared a net loss of $1.6bn, compared
with a profit of $1.5bn in the same period in 2023. “Our costs are
too high, our margins are too low,” wrote Pat Gelsinger, its chief
executive, in a note to employees. As a consequence, Intel plans to
slash 15,000 jobs and to suspend dividends, which it has paid since
1992. Since the results were published its share price has plunged by
nearly 30%.

AGREEING TO free a convicted murderer was “not easy” said Olaf
Scholz, Germany’s chancellor, with typical understatement. Germany
would probably have preferred to play no role in the complex,
multi-country deal that saw the release of Evan Gershkovich, a Wall
Street Journal reporter, and 15 other prisoners from Russian and
Belarusian jails. But it could not remain aloof, because Vladimir
Putin was adamant about securing the release from German captivity of
Vadim Krasikov, a hitman who in 2019 was sent by Russian security
services to murder a Chechen exile in Berlin. Yesterday, after serving
less than three years of a life sentence that he was given by a Berlin
court in 2021, a tracksuited Mr Krasikov was greeted on the Moscow

One autumn day in 2020 Patrick Doherty was walking his dog up a steep
mountain in County Donegal, Ireland, when he noticed he was, unusually
for him, running out of breath. The eventual diagnosis was terrifying:
amyloidosis, a rare genetic disease that caused a protein, amyloid, to
build up in his organs and tissues. The prognosis was even worse: it
would cause him years of pain until it finally killed him. In the face
of such terrible fortune, though, Mr Doherty had a stroke of luck. He
was able to join a trial of a new medical therapy and, with just a
single injection, was apparently cured. Now, he continues to walk his
dog up that steep mountain in County Donegal every week.

As a first-time manager, you might be unsure of how much autonomy to
give your team members. The proliferation of remote and hybrid work
makes striking a balance between over- and undermanaging even
trickier. Without regular, in-person oversight, micromanagement has
increased for some leaders while others are too hands-off, leaving
their direct reports to fend for themselves. Either way, both
leadership styles can result in direct reports who are frustrated,
disengaged, or more likely to depart. To understand which direction
you lean, ask yourself three questions: Is your main focus how
you’re coming across as a leader?; Are you redoing your teams’
work all the time?; Is your team constantly missing deadlines or
moving slowly?

developments might appear to spell trouble, in that they seem to set
the generations against one another, but the author of this article

companies can figure out how to enable the intergenerational transfer

Too many companies are failing to innovate. One reason, say the
authors, is the polarized approach companies take to innovation. At
one end of the spectrum, corporate R&D efforts tend to focus on
product refreshes and incremental line upgrades that generate modest
growth for lower risk. At the other end, venture capitalists favor
high-risk “transformational” innovations that seek to upend
industries and generate outsize returns. But there’s a better,
middle, way.

Women’s experiences as parents in the workplace are completely
different from men’s. Men get a “fatherhood wage premium,” while
mothers encounter a “motherhood penalty” in wages and advancement
opportunities. One might think that women without children have
workplace advantages on a par with their male counterparts. But they
don’t. The maternal wall hinders all women’s careers, whether they

A new study from the National Institutes of Health shows a jump in
both hospital-acquired infections and resistance to the antibiotics
used to treat them. The findings are based on data gathered at 120
U.S. hospitals from January 2018 to December 2022, a five-year period
that included the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Nasia Safdar, a professor of
infectious medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, discusses
why infection rates have gone up and how you can protect yourself as a
hospital patient or visiting family member.

The US military commission overseeing the cases of five defendants in
the 9/11 attacks have been stuck in pre-trial hearings and other
preliminary court action since 2008. The torture that the defendants
underwent while in CIA custody has slowed the cases and left the
prospect of full trials and verdicts still uncertain, in part because
of the inadmissibility of evidence linked to the torture.

Why fear is sweeping markets everywhere - The Economist (No paywall)

How quickly the mood turns. Barely a fortnight ago stockmarkets were
on a seemingly unstoppable bull run, after months of hitting new
all-time highs. Now they are in free fall. America’s Nasdaq 100
index, dominated by the tech giants that were at the heart of the
boom, has fallen by more than 10% since a peak in mid-July. Japan’s
benchmark Topix index has clocked losses well into the double digits,
dropping by 6% on August 2nd alone—its worst day since 2016 and,
following a 3% decline on August 1st, its worst two-day streak since
2011. Share prices elsewhere have not been bludgeoned quite so badly,
but panic is sweeping through markets (see chart 1). Wall Street’s
“fear gauge”, the VIX index, which measures expected volatility
through the prices traders pay to protect themselves from it, has
rocketed to its highest since America’s regional-banking crisis last
year (see chart 2).

It's a time-honored tradition at the Olympics, explains Mario
Simonson, CEO of Los Angeles-based Honav, which made Team USA's pins
this year. While the events bring people from different countries
together, they might not speak the same language and pin trading
doesn't require speaking. "It's a way of communicating through trading
pins," he says, adding that it can be a bonding experience.

It has been a phenomenal 2024 Olympics so far for women in sport.
Simone Biles became the most decorated American Olympic gymnast while
Katie Ledecky became the most decorated female swimmer in Olympic
history. The U.S. women’s rugby team won an improbable bronze medal
with a miracle play in the last seconds of the game. We’ve seen a
58-year-old woman, Chile’s Zeng Zhiying, compete in table tennis and
Egypt’s Nada Hafez compete while seven months pregnant in fencing.

“Politically, however, that’s unlikely, for all the obvious
