� � � � � � How Our Careers Affect Our Children - Harvard Business Review    What working parent hasn’t felt guilty about missing soccer games and piano recitals? Almost two decades ago, though, researchers surveyed nearly 900 professionals about their relationships with their work and their children, and found that parents’ working, even for long hours, did not hurt children. What they did find was that parents who were distracted by, or obsessed with, their work, did see an impact on their children. This is likely only more problematic today when digital devices are omnipresent. The lesson: don’t worry about whether you attend every soccer game. But when you do show up, put your phone down and be there for your kid. What working parent hasn’t felt guilty about missing soccer games and piano recitals? When there are last-minute schedule changes at work or required travel to a client site, it’s normal to worry that you’re somehow permanently scarring your little one.

Eliot is thought never to have wanted songs made about his cats. Terry Pratchett, a British fantasy writer, had imagination: his former assistant honoured Pratchett’s wish to have a steamroller crush a hard drive containing the author’s unfinished stories. Authors have long tried to control what happens to their works after they die—and mostly failed. Yet Dahl’s legacy represents a new twist in the tale. Huge sums paid in 2021 for his estate by Netflix, a streaming service, have helped spur a gold rush to mine dead authors’ estates. Once it was intrusion by snoopy biographers that worried writers most. Today it is the temptation among heirs to monetise every shred of creative output. Voracious hunger for new content from streaming services and film studios is driving this new interest in old books. Shrewd video producers, faced with bidding wars for hot new titles, have turned to more affordable options: novels written decades ago. The rights for these “backlist” works generally belong to an estate for 70 years after an author’s death. After that, the work enters the public domain, and estates can no longer profit from or control it. Consider “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey”, a film released this year, in which Pooh and Piglet, A.A. Milne’s loveable, nearly 100-year-old characters, become bloodthirsty killers.

That’s all it took for a jury to convict Sam Bankman-Fried after a month-long trial that exposed the rotten foundations of his one-time crypto empire. Only a year ago, he was hanging out with the likes of Tom Brady and buying luxury villas while telling everyone how he would use his billions to make the world a better place. Now Bankman-Fried’s world is much, much smaller. In the coming days, he will spend his time at a Brooklyn detention center begging for more Adderall and time on the internet as he awaits a second trial—this one for trying to use customer money to bribe Chinese officials. That will almost certainly lead to additional guilty verdicts and add yet more years to the decades Bankman-Fried is poised to serve when he is sentenced on March 28. After that, he will don his prison clothes and be transported to a federal prison in upstate New York or elsewhere. Around this time, Apple and other streaming services will begin dropping a series of mini-series that will offer a sensationalized tale of how Bankman-Fried evolved from a privileged math nerd to the perpetrator of one of the largest financial frauds in U.S. history. This will be his last flicker of fame before he settles into a tedious regime of awaiting the outcome of long-shot appeals, and then counting the thousands of days until he becomes a free man again in his 50s or 60s—or possibly not at all if the judge hits him with a Madoff-style life sentence.
