☆ What passing gas can say about your health
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-16 | by ( Kristen Rogers | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

“There are two sources of ‘gas,’ and not all gas is gas. Passing gas “between maybe five and 15 times per day … is totally normal,” said Dr. William Chey, the H. Marvin Pollard Professor of Gastroenterology at the University of Michigan. Gas isn’t as much of an indicator of gut health as bowel movement frequency and texture. But dietary choices can lead to more or less gas, and there are certain points at which gas is worth mentioning to a doctor. The reason for that is, if things move very slowly through the GI tract, they have more time to interact with the bacteria in the GI tract, particularly the colon.

REUTERS/Mike Blake/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLOS ANGELES, Aug 16 (Reuters) - After three months of walking the picket lines, striking Hollywood writers expressed optimism on Wednesday about the reopening of contract talks with major studios and the possibility they could be back at work in weeks. Still, members of the Writers Guild of America see reason for hope. Writers went on strike on May 2 over an impasse on compensation, minimum staffing in writers' rooms, residual payments and curbs on artificial intelligence. While "Law and Order" writer and WGA liaison Terri Kopp is also upbeat about talks with studios continuing, she is concerned about information leaking from their confidential negotiating sessions.

DeSantis' critics are dogpiling on him anyway, saying the fake has more charisma than the real deal. Titled "DESANTIS FOR PRESIDENT," the viral video features DeSantis making nonsensical remarks and behaving awkwardly on the campaign trail. "This version definitely has more charisma, and social skills, than the real DeSantis," wrote one Youtuber commenter. The DeSantis campaign faced a rocky start after a botched campaign launch in May on Elon Musk's Twitter Spaces. Representatives for the DeSantis campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.

About $800 billion may be wiped off the value of offices in major cities this decade, per McKinsey. Converting New York offices into residences is possible but has its challenges, Bloomberg reported. Buildings in the financial district are only eligible if they were built before 1977, while it's 1961 for Midtown structures, Chilelli told Bloomberg. Structural issues must also be considered, Chilelli told Bloomberg. Repurposing a structure can as much as double the price per square foot for a building, Chilelli said.

☆ Family offices are backing AI, even as rich Americans are skeptical of the hype

Billionaires like Google's Eric Schmidt are betting big on AI through their family offices. Insider talked to family office insiders to learn how to find real deals amid the hype cycle. So many startups are claiming to use AI that family offices are wary of "AI washing" when considering direct venture deals, according to Karl Rogers, chief investment officer at Irish family office Elkstone. But they are still circumspect, he said, as family offices typically prioritize long-term wealth preservation over aggressive growth. "Hype cycles tend to imply immediate returns, which is contrary to how family offices usually think," said Hsu, whose fund counts the Pritzker family as investors.

McAfee also found that over one-third of victims lost more than $1,000 in AI scams, with 7% losing more than $5,000. Then, the scammer can just type out whatever they want, and the AI voice will speak what is typed in real time.

In particular, as I’ll explain, the real puzzle here is why Taylor Swift doesn’t make even more money. Inspired in part by the work of my late former colleague Alan Krueger, I have in fact weighed in on Taylor Swift in historical perspective before. So, Taylor Swift makes a lot of money. But on the surface, that’s not what’s happening with Taylor Swift or Beyoncé. They’re making huge sums not mainly from record or streaming royalties but from concerts — which is, by the way, normal.

NEW YORK, June 2 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The idea of Jamie Dimon running for U.S. president makes sense in one way: After helming JPMorgan (JPM.N), the biggest bank in the Western world, there aren’t many bigger jobs. There are big reasons, however, why Dimon would be a square peg in an Oval Office. If part of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s appeal rested on empty claims of business savvy, Dimon is the real deal.

Cramer dubbed these seven stocks "all-pro": Apple , up 37% this year so far; Microsoft , which is up 38%; Nvidia , up 159%; Amazon , up 44%; Meta , up 120%; Tesla , up 66%; and Alphabet , up by 39%.
