• ut4f1x (Squarepoint Capital): I do more than that but in London UK

Indeed chief economist: Aging Baby Boomers are America’s real labor problem, not AI (r/technology)

• lifeoflogan: The wealthy and politically powerful Baby Boomers perfected the art of kicking the can down the road. They privatized the gains, socialized the costs, and left future generations holding the bag—all while believing their wealth would protect their own families from the consequences. If you weren’t already rich, you were someone else’s exit strategy. That’s the opposite of E Pluribus Unum.
• Rasdowers: There are like 8 baby boomers at my company of over 600 people. There is 1 in senior management and the others can’t retire in their positions. I look at them as my future, still at the company and unable to retire. I’m in pharma mfg. People in pharma used to be able to retire, but not anymore.
• ManySugar5156: Funny how every problem is never the execs chasing margins, its grandpa and a chatbot somehow.

Neandertals were once portrayed as dull evolutionary failures, separated from modern humans by a wide intellectual gulf. Archaeology has steadily erased that caricature. They made sophisticated tools, processed plants into food, treated illness, used symbols and cared for their dead. Then the first Neandertal genome delivered an even more intimate correction in 2010: Neandertals and Homo sapiens interbred, and their DNA still forms part of many living human genomes.

This summary covers The Economist’s July 4th, 2026 Science & technology article listed in the contents as Synthetic biology and published under the headline A design for life.

Researchers have assembled cells that can grow, reproduce and evolve without inheriting any working parts from earlier life. The creations, called SpudCells, are still fragile and dependent on an artificial environment. Yet their importance lies precisely in how little they can do: every component was deliberately added, giving scientists an unusually clear view of how biological machinery works.

Most adults can summon a first childhood memory, but it usually comes from no earlier than preschool. The blank stretch before that is known as infantile amnesia. It appears in college students and grandparents alike, which suggests that it is not simply the ordinary fading that affects all memories over time. The puzzle is stranger: babies plainly learn about people, objects and language, yet adults cannot consciously revisit events from their own infancy.
