☆ Origins of humanity’s love of carbs revealed, new study suggests
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-18 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

CNN —The origin of modern humans’ long-standing love affair with carbs may predate our existence as a species, according to a new study. The study revealed these genes duplicated long before the advent of agriculture. Without amylase, humans would not be able to digest foods such as potatoes, pasta, rice or bread. The research also revealed duplication of the AMY1 gene existed in the genomes of Neanderthals and Denisovans, an extinct hominin first discovered in 2010 about whom relatively little is known. “This study’s genomic sleuthing is helping to finally time stamp some of those major milestones, and it is revealing tantalizing clues about humanity’s long love affair with starch.”

CNN —Musician Rufus Wainwright is speaking out against the use of his famous cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” by Donald Trump’s presidential campaign at a recent event. In the caption of his post on Tuesday, Wainwright wrote: “The song ‘Hallelujah’ by Leonard Cohen has become an anthem dedicated to peace, love and acceptance of the truth. I’m not holding my breath.”According to the statement, the publishing company for the Cohen estate has sent the Trump campaign a cease and desist letter.

Russia is proposing alternative payment systems and commodity centers. Challenges include entrenched dollar dominance and existing global trading systems' liquidity. Other than championing alternative payment systems based in non-dollar currencies, Russia is also pitching the set-up of centers for mutual trade in commodity resources. Moving BRICS trade to trading centers within the bloc would also involve the use of local currencies and facilitate a move away from using the dollar for trade, according to the document. Russia faces an uphill battle in changing the basics of dollar-dependent financial trading systems.

☆ Here's who would benefit from Trump's proposed tax break on car loan interest
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-14 | by ( Greg Iacurci | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Trump's proposed tax break would make interest on car loans fully tax deductible. That tax break lets homeowners deduct annual mortgage interest payments from their taxable income, thereby reducing their tax bill. Few taxpayers claim itemized tax deductionsTo get the deduction, car owners would need to itemize their tax return to include their borrowing costs. About 14.8 million federal tax returns, or about 9%, claimed an itemized deduction on their 2021 federal tax returns, according to the most recent IRS data. An itemized tax break on car loan interest "would help only a fraction of taxpayers," said Leonard Burman, an institute fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.

Humana's stock is down 23% in its worst weekly drop since 2020 and biggest two-day decline since 2009. The drop comes as Medicare downgraded ratings on some of Humana's health insurance plans. The health insurer's shares are down 23% since the start of the week, marking its biggest weekly drop since 2020 and its biggest two-day decline in 15 years. Over those days, the stock declined 22%, the biggest two-day drop since the financial crisis in 2009. They said Medicare Advantage plans could see further pressure if Democrats win in the upcoming elections, which would hinder Humana's recovery.

OpenAI's chief product officer isn't worried that the rise of open-source will cause the second. In the first vision, AI startups are in a winner-takes-all race. AdvertisementOn Wednesday, OpenAI chief product officer Kevin Weil took to the stage, where Anyscale cofounder Robert Nishihara asked him what open-source models mean for OpenAI's business. These AI models, such as Meta's Llama offerings, are freely available for almost anyone to use, while OpenAI sells access to propriety, closed models. But if downloadable, open-source models pull all prices down to the "cost of production," then Andreessen's first vision — of "infinite profits" — starts to appear a little less likely.
