Charted: The U.S. National Debt Reaches $35 Trillion

Since January, the U.S. debt pile has expanded by $1 trillion alone,
moving the debt-to-GDP ratio to 98%. By 2032, the International
Monetary Fund projects that this ratio could surpass 140% under
current policies. Despite the looming threat to U.S. fiscal
sustainability, neither Republican or Democratic parties show
political incentive to address the rapid pace of borrowing.

As a result, the cost of servicing government debt is surging. In
2024, interest costs on the national debt are forecast to reach 17% of
federal spending, making it the fastest growing expense overall. These
interest costs are expected to escalate further as higher interest
rates drive up the cost of new borrowing.

But the jubilant scenes in the capital Dhaka come at great cost;
around 300 people have been killed since the protests started in June,

When Hugh Jackman agreed to play the mutant superhero Wolverine in the

thought he was playing a wolf. At a loss for how to mimic a wild
canine, he watched a documentary on wolves to better understand how
they moved and acted, arriving on set with a “funny” gait. He
recalled the ridicule of his director Bryan Singer in an interview
with Page Six in 2017: “He said, ‘You know you’re not a wolf,
right? ... Go to the zoo, dude.’ I literally didn’t know
[wolverines] existed.”

global warming so far. But just as many countries are starting to take

climate change is causing methane emissions from wetlands and other

How Companies Can Take a Global Approach to AI Ethics - Harvard

Many efforts to build an AI ethics program miss an important fact:
ethics differ from one cultural context to the next. Ideas about right
and wrong in one culture may not translate to a fundamentally
different context, and even when there is alignment, there may well be
important differences in the ethical reasoning at work — cultural
norms, religious tradition, etc. — that need to be taken into
account. Because AI and related data regulations are rarely uniform
across geographies, compliance can be difficult. To address this
problem, companies need to develop a contextual global AI ethics model
that prioritizes collaboration with local teams and stakeholders and
devolves decision-making authority to those local teams. This is
particularly necessary if their operations span several geographies.

When a Team Member Speaks Up -- and It Doesn't Go Well - Harvard

Speaking up — and being heard — in organizations is critical, but
failed attempts to speak up happen often at work and can lead people
to silence themselves and others in the long run. Instead, leaders and
team members should frame such situations as opportunities to learn.
But this isn’t easy; it can be difficult to recognize such moments
as learning opportunities; it can be difficult to move beyond
counterproductive emotions like shame and blame,;and we tend to be too
busy and focused on the short term to learn. The authors’ research
and experience have shown that the antidote starts with all team
members, including the leader, explicitly framing such interactions as
experiments from which everyone expects to learn; preparing for them;
paying attention to them; implementing certain process tools; and
thinking more long-term about learning.

their opening and closing bells at either end of the working day

foreign-exchange market notionally operates around the clock, but it

routines that matter—seasonal ones do, too. Spare a thought, then,

Some of the best strategies for reducing the chances of developing
dementia are, to put it kindly, impracticable: don’t grow old;
don’t be a woman; choose your parents carefully. But although old
age remains by far the biggest risk factor, women are more at risk
than men and some genetic inheritances make dementia more likely or
even almost inevitable, the latest research suggests that as many as
45% of cases of dementia are preventable—or at least that their
onset can be delayed.

Before they transform into moths and butterflies, caterpillars must

partnerships with plants. The naturalist-photographer has been
enamored with the insects since age four. “I used to bring them into
my parents’ house,” he says. “They’d find them crawling up the
walls.” While working at Harvard University, Jaffe began taking
pictures of native caterpillars during his free time, then displaying
the results at local galleries. The exhibitions sparked so much
interest that he launched an educational nonprofit, the Caterpillar
Lab, in 2013, to open our eyes to these masters of metamorphosis and

Ms. Harris first ran for president in 2019, while in her third year as
a senator from California. In a crowded field of Democrats, she
struggled to find her message, tangled with staff members and dropped
out before voting began. Now Ms. Harris is setting out to prove she
can lead a party desperate to block Mr. Trump’s attempt to return to
office.

By lunchtime, it was official party messaging: The Republican National
Committee hyped the “Great Kamala Crash of 2024,” and the Trump
campaign had produced and circulated on social media a video tying the
vice president to Monday’s dip in the markets. By the afternoon, the
Trump forces had turned “KamalaCrash” into a “trending”
subject on X.

Some of the candidates even tried to cozy up to influential friends of
Ms. Harris’s, hoping that it might make their way back to the vice
president — or at least to one of the people in the tight group of
confidants advising her. Two presumed favorites, Gov. Josh Shapiro of
Pennsylvania and Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, have been checking in
with Democratic members of Congress by phone in recent days.

'It was the one great mistake in my life': The letter from Einstein

In July 1955, the name that signed off the seminal 1939 letter to
Roosevelt would feature posthumously in the title of the
Russell-Einstein Manifesto, an emotively worded resolution against
nuclear war initiated by philosopher Bertrand Russell and endorsed by
Einstein just a week before his death. "We appeal, as human beings, to
human beings," reads part of the text. "Remember your humanity and
forget the rest. If you do so, the way lies open to a new paradise; if
you cannot, there lies before you the risk of universal death."

The influence of the Microsoft antitrust case was, in fact, apparent
in the Google decision. In Judge Mehta’s 277-page judgment,
Microsoft appeared on 104 pages, both as an aspiring rival to Google
and as a legal precedent. Google has said it will appeal the ruling.

Recession Fears May Be Overstated, but Not Unfounded

But they said there were also reasons to worry. Historically,
increases in joblessness like the one in July — the unemployment
rate rose to 4.3 percent, the highest since 2021 — have been a
reliable indicator of a recession. And even without that precedent,
there has been evidence that the labor market is weakening.
