New York (CNN) — When it comes to getting paid — and paid back — most people and businesses want their money as quickly as possible.While payment processing at financial institutions has become faster over the years — and some large players already are part of a “real-time payment” network — many people still may have to wait at least one business day to have access to 100% of deposits they receive or for payments they make to clear.On Thursday the Federal Reserve launched the first phase of an instant payment infrastructure called FedNow Service that promises to make the option of safe, real-time payments much more widely available, whether someone banks at a large or small US financial institution.“The Federal Reserve built the FedNow Service to help make everyday payments over the coming years faster and more convenient,” said Fed Chair Jerome Powell. “Over time, as more banks choose to use this new tool, the benefits to individuals and businesses will include enab...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:15:44 GMT

By Rong-Gong Lin II, Los Angeles TimesAs the coronavirus emerged, so did a mystery: Why did some who got infected never develop symptoms?One likely explanation is it may be a person’s lucky genes.A new study published Wednesday in the scientific journal Nature suggests people with a specific version of a gene were far more likely to experience an asymptomatic infection than those without.The relevant set of genes is known as the human leukocyte antigen, or HLA.“This is the first time where, in a really rigorous and robust way, anybody has shown that there is a clear, definitive genetic underpinning to asymptomatic disease [from the coronavirus] — not all asymptomatic disease, but some subset of people who stay asymptomatic,” said UC San Francisco neurology professor Jill Hollenbach, a co-author of the study.Hollenbach and other researchers recruited some 30,000 people for the study — all of whom already had genetic data on file because they had registered as potent...
