A study suggests that genetics is a cause, not just a risk, for some cases of Alzheimer's

A study suggests that genetics is a cause, not just a risk, for some cases of Alzheimer's

Scientists are proposing a new way of understanding the genetics of Alzheimer's that would mean up to a fifth of patients would be considered to have a genetically caused form of the disease.Currently, the vast majority of Alzheimer's cases do not have a clearly identified cause. The new designation, proposed in a study published Monday, could broaden the scope of efforts to develop treatments, including gene therapy, and influence the design of clinical trials.It could also mean that hundreds of thousands of people in the United States alone could, if they wanted, receive a diagnosis of Alzheimer's before developing any symptoms of cognitive decline, even though there are currently no treatments for people at that stage.The new classification would make this type of Alzheimer...
Russia will hold tactical nuclear weapons drills amid fresh tensions with the West

Russia will hold tactical nuclear weapons drills amid fresh tensions with the West

Russia said on Monday it will hold military exercises with troops based near Ukraine to practice the possible use of nuclear weapons on the battlefield, raising tensions with the West after two European leaders raised the prospect of more Western intervention headed into the war.Such weapons, often called “tactical,” are designed for battlefield use and have smaller warheads than “strategic” nuclear weapons intended to strike cities. The Russian Defense Ministry said President Vladimir V. Putin had ordered a drill for missile, aviation and naval personnel to “increase the readiness of non-strategic nuclear forces to carry out combat missions.”Russian officials said the order was in response to Western comments about the possibility of more direct Western involvement in the war in Ukraine....
Tensions are rising in Silicon Valley over startup stock sales

Tensions are rising in Silicon Valley over startup stock sales

Sohail Prasad, an entrepreneur, launched a fund called Destiny Tech100 in March. The fund owns shares of tech start-ups such as payments company Stripe, rocket maker SpaceX and artificial intelligence company OpenAI.Few people have the opportunity to invest in these private companies since their shares are not openly traded. Mr Prasad's intention with Destiny was to let the rest of the world receive a share of it through his fund.But soon after Destiny's debut, two tech startups — Stripe and Plaid, a banking service — said the fund didn't legally own their shares. One contestant criticized Destiny as "too good to be true." Robinhood, the stock trading app, stopped allowing investors to buy into the fund, saying it had been added to its app in error.Mr Prasad was not surpris...

Ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas are once again at an impasse

The latest round of negotiations between Israel and Hamas reached a stalemate on Sunday, as mediators struggled to fill remaining gaps and a Hamas delegation walked out of talks in Cairo, according to two senior Hamas officials and two other officials who they were familiar with interviews. An Israeli official also confirmed that negotiations had stalled and described them as being in "crisis."For months, negotiations aimed at reaching a ceasefire and the release of hostages made little progress, but signs emerged in the last week that the two sides were moving closer to a deal. Israel has backtracked on some of its long-standing demands and a senior Hamas official said the group was studying the latest Israeli offer in a "positive spirit."But the setback over the weekend meant Palestini...

Laurent Cantet, whose films explored the depths of France, dies at 63

Laurent Cantet, an eminent director who made insightful films about the thorny aspects of French life and society, died on April 25 in Paris. He was 63 years old.His writer and editor, Robin Campillo, said he died of cancer in hospital.Cantet's best-known film was “Entre les Murs” (“The Class”), which won the Palme d'Or, the top prize of the Cannes Film Festival, in 2008 and was nominated for an Oscar as best film in foreign language. “The Class” was something new in French cinema: an extended snapshot of the interior of a school classroom in a working-class neighborhood of Paris, using a former teacher and real-life schoolchildren and walking a provocative line between documentary and fiction.This ambiguity infuses the film with a rare tension, as a hapless language teacher stru...
Why Google Employees Don't React to the US Antitrust Trial

Why Google Employees Don't React to the US Antitrust Trial

On Tuesday, Google employees gathered for a collective meeting called TGIF. These company-wide meetings are rarely held on Fridays these days, but the name has stuck.Executives shared highlights from a recent earnings report and a conference on cloud computing and warned workers against taking disruptive actions in the wake of domestic protests against a cloud computing contract with Israel.But no one at the meeting, two employees said, addressed a topic that could have a dramatic impact on Google: its historic antitrust lawsuit with the Justice Department, discussions of which are finally coming to a close this week.For eight months, as tech policy experts tried to guess what a Google victory or defeat would mean for the power of the tech giants in the United States, Google employees mos...
