"Start getting into some news this week. It's been a relatively chill week, but it being crypto, there's always some weird thing to talk about. So the weird thing to talk about this week is Aragon. So for those of you who don't know, Aragon, super OG project, Aragon is basically like a Dow operating system is the way they describe it. They were very, very early in the formation of Dao is going to before 2020 and all the down mania kicked off. So these are like super OG die hard believers. They did an ICO way back in the day and they have this token called ANT, which is kind of been sitting around, owns a big pile, and it was a big treasury of Bitcoin and ether and a bunch of other stuff. Today, that treasury is worth about a 176 million. The token itself, NT, which is supposed to give you a claim on the rights of the treasury and everything within it, because it's supposed to be a doubt, because the point, that token on a fully diluted basis is only worth a 150 million compared to the 176 that's in the treasury. So a lot of people have been very disappointed with Aragon, Aragon very famously is kind of been sitting on their hands sort of waiting for the world to come around to their view of how dows ought to work. And some people got frustrated, including some token holders, namely arca. So arca, they're like a fund, I don't know exactly what I think they're like New York and LA or something. They basically started instigating publicly to auntie holders and say, hey, Aragon has not done a good job of sort of shipping what they were supposed to ship or really gaining market share or getting product market fit. And they have a giant treasury. So we should just have them transfer the treasury into Dow governance because apparently the treasury was managed off chain. It was not managed by the Dow directly. They were like, look, Aragon should push the treasury into full on token governance so that the ANT token holders have control over that dowel. And separately, they were pushing for buybacks to basically buy back the token using the treasury to essentially return value to token holders that they felt was not being well spent by the treasury. So that's the backdrop. That's been happening all for a while. Then a few days ago, Aragon published a statement saying that they are under attack. So what is this attack? This attack supposedly is that arca, as well as a group called the rfv raiders, were basically trying to essentially act like corporate raiders. And as activists, token holders, effectively, trying to get the anti token holders to vote to basically do a complete buyback to essentially wind down the token and unwind the treasury and give the treasury back to token holders. Essentially a liquidation more or less of the treasury.

Aragon's Rise and Fall: Another Example of Decentralization Theater?
"Going to start off with a fresh piece from Danny, Danny, what's up? Yes. So the last week I've been following the rise and fall of an effort to by activist investors to take over part of the Aragon treasury Aragon is a long-standing crypto project that focuses on building tools for daos in it itself was moving toward becoming a Dao by moving control of its treasury to its community. Not the community was really full of lots of activist investors who wanted changes at Aragon and they started making noise about pursuing those changes, including with an investment fund behind them called arca. Well, Aragon didn't like that so much and decided basically to get rid of its governance and to move the Dow from a Dow that controls the organization into a grant making doubt. So this is really a story about decentralization theater. It also will, as I think you noted on Twitter, it's another example of time being a flat circle. It really is Danny. So back in 2021, I'm looking at the piece right now, actually. I reported on a very similar subject with Aragon. It was Aragon association the air gun Dao, Aragon one of was one of the names of the entities. And they had a bunch of resignations believe about 12 staffers left those two entities due to a lack of financial transparency, a cofounder was also essentially forced out at the time. There was a lot of disruption, a lot of people thought that air guide itself was going to shut down. It looked like they were probably just going to sell off the IP to their voting software and the governance platforms they've been building. For those who don't follow air God, it has been around for quite a while. I think most people who have been having a good fingerprint of space for wild know about Eric on, not necessarily like a top project, but definitely a project that people are familiar with has stuck around and has been developing some important governance schemes for daos. But it's been hit twice now with problems that we see over and over again with Dallas, which is some people have power, some people don't. There's money involved. You can't trust everybody. And at the end of the day, someone has to write the checks and things start to fall apart.

"It. It's really about us working with the county. Mayor Sofia Aragon says right now, her hands are tied as she waits on help from the county. People are rightfully angry and frustrated. And there's a homelessness crisis that we're trying to deal with. She says she's hopeful the county will provide proper housing and treatment for those living inside the tents. Or they are was not planned by the beer and city council. And we want to get them to the most appropriate housing, whether it's more stable housing or for those who have mental health issues or drug issues to get them into treatment. And that takes time because these same people doing the assessments are actually all over the county. So it takes time for them to get to us. Como forest Hannah Knowles with that story. Local leaders say they are pushing forward to stop cycles of substance abuse and crime amongst the homeless, but are those efforts working? We'll force Denise Whitaker reports on a new apartment building for the homeless in Seattle. There is definitely a workforce challenge across the human services sector right now. Still, King County, Seattle, and their nonprofit partners tell me this new apartment building will be staffed with a care team when it opens this fall. Help with social services, finding and maintaining a job and more contained in a private space all with the amenities of home. When you can receive prescription medicine in the mail at a place where you live, then you can take or start taking care of your physical health, your behavioral health. I asked some of the neighbors what they think about this project. It's a balancing act because I think we're all we have big hearts, but we're also concerned that we don't want our neighborhood to turn into the only neighborhood that supports that. There will be around the clock staff that are on site that will be live in staff on the facility. This building also includes security cameras in the public areas. Denise Whitaker, come on news.

Dr. Bob Shillman and Charlie Discuss High School Standards and CRT
"In Aragon, the state law has changed. About the requirements for graduating high school. That's right. It no longer requires proficiency in mathematics and I'm not talking about calculus here. We're talking about basic math. Graduating with a high school diploma does not require competency in mathematics, nor reading or writing. So you will be able to grant people in Oregon will be able to get a high school diploma while their illiterate illiterate. So what does a high school diploma then mean? What does it mean if there's no standards? It means that you're able to be an activist. You showed up. You showed up? That's right. Just like participation participation. And that's what really started with ten years ago. That's right. And this moves on to critical race theory. And I didn't know what it was, so I had to look it up. CRT. The theory says that racism is a part of everyday life in America because racism is in the DNA of every white America. A might American. Whether they know it or not, they are automatically racist. This is being taught in our schools. That America is fundamentally flawed from 60 19 or whatever date they want. It became racist. Now, if that's the case, how did Barack Obama get to be president for 8 years? You know, I'm struck by this. Or why did more blacks come through legal immigration since 1980 than ever came to the slave trade? Why does so many blacks want to come to this country? If it's so racist and awful and colonialistic, you see the presupposition they come from, is it's actually brilliant in one sense. You can never prove it wrong. Because they state something that can never be proven right or proven wrong. It's everywhere. What is everywhere? The air? No, no, no. Racism. And so then you call them out for it. I do this all the time. We'll prove it to me. Well, you can't see it because you're white. Oh, so your entire operational thesis is that we're, we have something in our systems in our DNA. That's everywhere. You can't tell me where it is, but if you would be able to tell me where it is, I can't find it because of my skin color. They say yes.

"Phenomenon. Like what you've mentioned about people not just working one corporation but maybe in the future working for many corporations at the same time. I'm an might not even be looking like work. It might just look like normal online activity on your being able to monetize. I even think of the play to earn model here as well that's Thing did blurred line between a gain. Work I think we're gonna i think generally speaking that's going to be great because most people in the world actually if you seventy percent Estate that they don't like their job and that is crazy like humans on air. Don't like their job. Because obviously that romulus proactive rights. Unless happy if we can fix that Few more like playing while working great. I think they'll ask as we've each technology like maybe ten years on the line where start seeing weird stuff way. Knowning people's brains kissing work in game and never disconnecting For seven Been about down. will bring with stuff and then wish that gabrielle For someone who's listening that's not really tech savvy. Would it be accurate to describe a dow as sort of like a digital version of a private member association. Or what's the difference thousand. We are so like nice that i think right now is being defined three hundred bed like there's some that are more live members Next similar to what you define kind of like a private Assume bet. I think that's seem today. Because those are very early versions over without like i think more and more as we move forward in additionally adventist and users therion is there more than or see is. They're going a very open organizations where you can just come in and you can see the work that's available even to you and you're gonna air almost in real time in where that will like organizations in taos that like probably millions of people work endorsed echo in michigan in a very fluid way with earning corporate Any higher so a pizza follow. Yeah i was gonna just paint a picture of a society where everything is very task driven as opposed to job or career driven where you could walk in any building on a given day. Look at a board and see what needs to be done pitch in whether it's just mopping the floors or programming. Some kind of plug in for inoperability or whatever it is your your skill set and then you can just go around to the next thing and instead of earning a salary by the hour you might get a grant per the job regardless of how much time it takes. I think that's going to be a huge evolution. That i guess you could say started with uber from a task economy but i think a dow will enable that type structure to expand to literally everything. Yes and then. Of course you can add. You can build a bonding. So for example for some people maybe like Sheridan demand that women have a stable salary. Marketplace upright where like Have the insurance marketplace or like Vi nervous basic income circle. Were like one month you. You failed to far because they had some actually the end than your hospital. Whatever like the community at bags. So i think that naked scary for for people to move to this model interesting. I never really thought about that. You know community insurance Unlike salaries or whatever community all these issues pop up in like you know they're all you know the board a yacht club or the crypto punks all identifying themselves by this little nfc but at the end of the day it's just about community. And yeah i. I think that the nfc craze is pretty pretty interesting. Do you have a take on. Nfc's right now. Do you think that were in a mania. Do you think that there is a long tail. Like these will are here to stay. Or what do you think about. Nfc's in their current form. It's almost like every trending crypto like complete mania at some point but then also stays right like. I think what's happening now. It's very interesting because it's attracting a little money fees and now. Of course i feel. I feel like how Being eighteen like everyone is there We make we might have some buoyant like rich big bible close but then after that lighters a really gonna be significantly Thought that when him and gobbling means ceric of museums. So i think like you know. Arts crypto arts in a fee secured to say they're going to be like a significant part of the arts in thurston Later on during the next they gave. So i wanna crew dow instead of registering fund in the cayman islands. Or you know getting my own hockey rink over here in california or whatever How would i use are to help me do that. It's fast forward to the to the website blog on the org m and then you can just go through Up to the jazz about Named the dow if talking the people so they gun. You know access zao and then. The fiscal like an internet ankle starts. Which the bus tokens in any crypto. And then you vote on decisions with members of your doubt then of course gotten install. Different apps on the buffets by war brisk Mice in different things. And you're gonna go very very complex. Very basic Gives you that like fast. Management and some voting foods. nicest wow so what's the learning curve. Do i need to study documentation for a few days before i do this. Can i just jump right into it and be done in a few minutes. If you're familiar with like a theorem other assists and like many muskets like that. I like dumping quickness. Wow that's awesome. I'm definitely gonna have to check this out. Yes so luke lewis. Tell us before we let you go. I would love to know a little bit more specifically about aragon And like if somebody is in the crypto space right now and wants to partner with aragon what what would that partnership look like and how does aragon kind of function sure. Yeah so. I mean we're we're doing now is the i can do. If i were our governess bathroom. Basically focused Minimize industies a theorem vestige. Right now are of course quite crazy and trying to board a for lunch partners and trying to get them set up. So so yeah. I mean we're looking forward to more communities dowie fight yet and so so by minimizing gats to the main initiative right now with governance is to minimize gas is and even with the i p one five five nine. That didn't really do anything in terms of lowering gas fees. So what does that kind of. Look like for you guys. How you guys trying to accomplish this.

And i think he will have. I think we'll see true. A reflection of of i would be it would be a bit closer to that to the reality and then he will be also closer to the bike. Yeah for sure. I mean the fact. He's got these. Six races means that it can focus in the winter on. He doesn't have to go into the winter and by can be new to it. No no no for sure. They are shortening the that a yeah the the window time window so i think next year is when is the time to kinda look at maverick but i think also puts a bit more pressure on him because he's had this Grace periods of no. He knows the by going into next year so he needs. He will make to perform from fox race next year. Yeah i think what what it will do would be a huge bush to allege. We've seen that. We've seen that even inadequate in west before getting that body materials fanatic on west one of his favorite tracks and he also did perform really well. Yes sheriff fourth. He was close to podium before tires. Away so yeah we. We've i think we've kind of confirmed arrogant at the pace of the appellate. We saw it. Severson was genuine sale. That's good and good news for maverick. We'll be back next week. I think we'll end it there new because we've got another race this weekend and a test so that's always great. We don't like days off here do we.

"John god the title so i think shuki was in the net ina. Let's say easy position or comfortable position to not being so aggressive on yelm on the development of the bike. I think what we are saying. Israeli the have held back. They are by no avenue satellite team because they've had to take the right height vase off the bike again because it should just doesn't work it doesn't it's too aggressive when when it lowers in a effects from end too much whereas if you know if we look at the kathy for example they'd already tested on the prompt bake so when they put it to the debates it was solid so in in a way that this this experience can give them a more clear idea about where to go and how to do it here. They will need to do more tests. They would broadly not now. But tom point they will have to rethink about the saturday team and continuing an allies. The benefits from yeah. Well course isn't a new problem. Really for suzuki. It's been. I mean i was on a podcast with chris vermeulen a few weeks ago and he said you know he always felt suzuki when he was there that the biggest problem was. He didn't have assassinate team so that you can feel it's more important than ever. No because i get the impression that schwann's kind of he's committed. He's also eat hiding frustration. He's done a really good job of hiding frustration. And i think at some point you know someone well offers you on a contract. You know for twenty twenty three. And he will suzuki after two job to keep them brawley but even for him is not easy. Because i mean maybe i don't know i'm just talking but i'm just guessing but maybe honda can be because he they were they were in the past. The coach was interested in him in the past Could be an option but china for honda. Now i don't know i yeah difficult. He's not is not that. There are no really plenty of places where the rookie at this time. Because in a way you know that they don't do crazy things. Having this headlight team means that the politics are less..

Yeah wasn't an amazing race We've seen a lot of a lot of interesting things. we've seen The old version world. They'll version the regular version of mark. We've seen an outstanding baker pretending to the warriors as a top writer i mean. I didn't have any doubt about that. But i think he really needed this. Kind of statement. so yeah. It was really really really exciting race. And it's unusual to have a weekend. It was fairly quiet in terms of news. You know no big bombshell so it was quite nice touch. So just focus on the race We'll start with paco. Because you know he's the eight stephan winner in twenty twenty one which is an amazing style on its own but it seems very long overdue because there was a couple of opportunities. Pack was hide in the the locks not goes way. Everything just seemed pathak to arrigoni erode the baker the truck and he said he didn't touch from severson. It was pathak te. Rossi said this was pack was weekend and no even marquez degrade marquez could stop that yeah i mean in the end a baker the mean the perfect race and hopefully it will give him a boost just to believe even more on him. I'm not saying that he was not doing that. he was leaving him. Tell but just everybody needs these kind of worst to do you know to get this extra Of self confidence and maybe from now one would have will see another kind of of writer at the race.

"Natural taking near done. Gonna eat the whole thing dude honey absolutely absolutely and you can even take combinations of foods that are sabry as well like for example you guys may have heard of the set index. Susan holds society index foods. Were white potatoes had the highest tidy rating. Okay that's cool but who eats boiled white potato by itself no salt no nothing And so we have to consider the limitations of that research. You know you take white potato term fries out of it while you're done toes so So yeah with same thing with sugar. It's your you know you being overly reductionist When we're looking at sugar what we're really looking at is these hyper palatable extremely yummy combinations of the macronutrients within food of course flavoring agents like salt in addition to sugar and with with the Carbohydrate and fat mixtures and there's even savory foods honestly that are hyper palatable Bacon cheese stuff. That's that's low. Carb by still hyper palatable. And you mix that stuff together with hyper palatable car based foods and then you you know you. You'd thanksgiving meal so it's not just sugar. Where credit missing the forest for the trees. We're looking at just sugar. Because can you imagine trying to get full off of eating or rather imagine trying to. Somebody puts a bowl of apples in front. What effing drag that beat like even to apple straight i. It's not and that's all sh. That's frigging sugar. Water a little bit fiber but it's different game when you're talking about added sugars extrinsic sugars When you sprinkle monto nice cinnamon roll. No it's different game. Thank you so much for your time today. Where can people find out more about you. Alan aragon dot com. That's in i guess. My most active social media. I don't know on. Social media is an odd thing i've taken to instagram. Twitter and facebook are are pretty cool to twitter's is it's quite the entertaining animal. I try to avoid the try to avoid reading the political arguments where people just want to kill each other says. It's like what it's like a train wreck you can't help it. Just see the degree of like you know malice that people have for each other and stuff on twitter but yet man alan aragon dot com. I've i have a book. Just finished a protein book. I got my ongoing research review. That's my baby that i'm you know. That's probably my best work name of the on a it's called protein. All all your burn questions answered and Actually working on another book that that has fast approaching due dates. That's just driving me insane to get this book done but that'll be released next year so i don't know maybe maybe i'll have to have to come on here again Unlike the book promo mo the gary cavs does every few years with that protein book is about to come out or it's already out it's already out. It's bad but the the the the protein book is a it's an e book. It's something that i just wanted to do for myself Self publishing get it out there. But i do have another book coming up. That is a. I was approached by a big publishing house on fortunate enough to get approached by by them in I'm working on that. And that is due for release mid issue next year so So yeah.

"Feel like they're chomping at the bit on the multiple meal the spread pattern and i think that on with contest The objective is is mainly to hang onto the lean mass. You've got and there is a ton of pretty good data. Even data on zero calorie alternate day fasting. Showing maintenance of lean body mass. It need not necessarily in resistance training individuals. There's going zero calorie. Every other day in their in muscle is not flying off them and so You can build a pretty strong case for dieting. Conditions Even pre-contest as you say for a lowering meal frequency and increasing meal-sized and maybe entrain meant of a different kind of graylan pattern. Different hunger pattern on a more manageable. One so i can definitely see that earlier. We talked about meal timing and this just because it does come up amongst the the bro circles but pre and post workout meals the that that tiny little window at the end of the workout. Where you her in a kennel state or or to share the terminology but is there any truth to kind of trying to get food right after workout to help with that protein synthesis and all the muscle gains and stuff get man and before that like i wanna take responsibility back take partial responsibility bros. Eating protein a minimum four times a day. Because that's kind of the practice guidelines my colleagues tonight. Put out there like allen aragona bradshaw feld says. I need to eat protein. So look that's definitely not going to hurt might even optimize it but I have to admit that you might be okay with three for maximizing muscle game. Okay with that out of the way. The whole anabol- window thing is interesting because when you look at the effect of a resist a single resistance training about on muscle protein turnover so the increase in that cycle of muscle protein synthesis and breakdown muscle protein turnover. It and mow the muscle protein synthesis in particular. That's elevated for like twenty four hours after your after the resistance training bout so he got this enormous anabolic garage door of peace to Take in a or b. Have an extra heightened level of receptively to protein feeding after the resistance training bath so i mean in the beginning it. It's kind of absurd to to make the claim that you've got this narrow window of opportunity to feed now on when brad and i did bradshaw fell in and i did this. The did the research and questioned the whole anabolic window concept. We pissed off all of our colleagues. Because they're like okay. well now. People are avoiding their post workout meal. Because you guys and we said we did say that. Hey don't blame us. You know but the fact of the matter is when you look at all the studies. Comparing tightly sandwiching the The the resistance training with feedings versus a protein neglect for a minimum of two hours. No difference in muscle gained Over time as long as total daily protein is fine so whether or not you can neglect protein for beyond two hours consistently like adjacent to the training bout and still maximize your game that that remains to be seen. But what we're saying is that you don't have to run to the locker room and plow through people to get your way in dextrose shake in your locker In order to make gains after the workout on yeah that that's a whole. That's a whole other lecture man. I can talk our on that anything that like like since we're on this topic i think this be interesting Since you mean you've been in this for a long time so you've seen certain habits. Come and slowly go and some are still here. So from what andrew said you know. Some people are like god. I broke out just finished with my rice. Crispy triton fucking protein shake right. People are still feel like that but are there any other. i guess. Habits within bodybuilding. That you like. I don't think it's that big of a deal for example. Remember the whole six pack bags thing right old all your six meals. We don't need to have six or eight meals a day are there. Are there other habits kinda like that. They like we can back off that a little bit. That's not that necessary a anything else. That comes to mind as a great question. Now before tackle that. I wanna qualify the whole anabolic window thing because the concept of maximally expediting the recent asus of glycogen that goal it amongst the endurance The competitive endurance population is totally legit. When there is a minimal amount of time between glycogen depleting events or activities when there's age hours between events where you deplete like gin in the quads. For example you do have a very narrow window of opportunity to get in on nutrients carbohydrate in particular in protein can help in certain situations so that anabolic window of opportunity dot mistakenly inflated with the anabolic opportunity to make muscle gains over time.

He's legend like i the first newsletter that actually ever subscribed to a are those ten bucks ten bucks a month or alan would interpret all the research new all the nutrition richard to research super useful super useful. But he's been the game for a long time. Yeah he has been around for a long time. And i really appreciate the information. He shares especially about protein. You know you're going to hear him today. talking about People utilizing carbohydrates and stuff to get in really great shape Interesting thing is you know on this. Show we you know i. I've chosen a gonna go like a more low carb route. I know encima you kind of have made the same choice and these are things that we Do for ourselves and these are things that we recognize have just worked well for us. They feel good for us at the moment But i've have used cars before. And when i did a bodybuilding show. I ate more like a bodybuilder But i didn't consume like a lot of what i consider a lot of carbohydrates but anyway the main point in in this is that is that a lot of high level bodybuilders. The people that you're seeing on stage and even some of the fitness and figure girls while these people are consuming quite a bit of carbohydrates and so and they're tracking their calories. Which is something that. I'm not a huge fan of. I'm not a huge fan of like truck tracking your calories. But i guess the argument could be made. When you're about step on stage you want your shit to be like precise and So i i would like to kind of ask him a couple of questions in terms of like bulking and cutting you know what what are the cause. It's does seem like if you kinda go on dryer diet a diet that doesn't have high amounts of fat in it and it has a more carbohydrate and protein. It does seem like people get some really really good results. So i'd love to hear from him why he thinks that is. Is that just the way that it's been and just what people are used to. And maybe there's not as many people who have competed on a higher fat diet at the moment and so maybe this is just a trend and the way that things are at the moment. But maybe they'll be more people. Like robert sykes kind of breakthrough on a higher fat diet. Or does he think that that's just not the best way to go. It'd be really interesting too. Because we had mental councilman. He was talking about a lot of research that was done on individuals who are doing higher fat low carb diets and individuals. You're doing you know. Moderate carb moderate fat diets. And they're able to lose the same amount of body fat. They didn't like the show. They were expecting that the high fat individuals of lose more muscle because the lack of carbohydrates. But that wasn't the case either. So would be really. I'm curious to because he's you've seen a lot through the years and you just don't see a lot of people especially getting ready for shows do.

With the explosion of ecommerce for the last year digital transactions are surging enterprises need to ensure that a buying their product. Online is easy to do it from any device at be that secure and finally that they have it. Officiant in seamless way to manage all of these transactions one of the new technology categories in addition to six. Pm we're recommending at in price evaluate. Is something called click wrap transaction platforms these platforms kind combined the ability to create deliver manage track and archive all the online terms conditions. That consumers and enterprises agreed to when they are actually buying a specific product or service at sounds similar to digital transaction net. Yes it does. But the thing about click wrap transactions. Is that their unique because they can actually speed up and simplify high volume contracts. That need customization. But don't require negotiation. This can include things like terms of service. Purchase orders insurance policy acceptance nondisclosure remits. The volume of agreements sometimes are substantially higher. Which means that he's more capabilities that are more automated to manage both the volume and the subtleties of each type agreement. In fact you know. People are buying cars now over the web right. They're buying them online and every car is different every car. Sometimes some unique terms conditions truck versus car car versus vote furniture has unique terms and conditions because the ladder cats different than a fake leather couch. And so that's why you need to have really on the fly rendering capabilities for these types of agreements guiding. That's the great example of that you just mentioned and it sounds like this would be really key for some industries like retail this year. We've seen major retail giants like macy's nordstrom's closing dozens to hundreds of storefronts across the us and we saw over fifteen thousand stores closing last year due to the pandemic so it really means that digital is the new frontier for transactions how can content experience platforms help businesses in the retail space. Well look i agree with a lot of you said and really major aspect of competition when it comes to anyone in retail is amazon and they have really one click transactions and seamless returns as so there's a fierce competition really in the online consumer focused retail and really to compete with large providers enterprises really need to have an automated simplistic approach that allows for seamless experience from e commerce but also has the protects built-in when it comes to return disputes errands. Predicting that six piece will become a new way of developing experiences faster to enable more effective activation and better conversions of shoppers..

When Currencies Fail: Bitcoin Google Searches in Turkey Rise 400% as Lira Crashes
"Let's move to our main discussion and there are really two parts of the story that we're going to cover. The first is the devastating crash of the turkish lira. The second is the response of people in that country who found their money worth dramatically less than it was just a few days before first of all what happened between sunday evening and monday. The turkish lira fell as much as seventeen percent against the dollar ultimately landing around ten percent down. Turkish stocks also crashed the benchmark borsa. Istanbul one hundred stock index was down as much as nine point four percent which is the biggest sell-off since june. Two thousand thirteen. The nasdaq listed shares. Msci turkey efl seventeen point five percent pre market in the us. The cause of all this on early saturday morning. Turkish president aragon unexpectedly fired nasi ball. though central. Bank governor who had been appointed in november at the center of their disagreement was how to approach inflation. So let's step back and actually look at the scenario inherited oddball. He was the third central bank governor in two years in november the year that he came to power the annual inflation rate was fourteen point zero three percent. According to the turkish statistical institute by december it was up to fourteen point six percent now these are just official numbers and some argue that it's actually much higher on november twelfth twenty. Twenty johns hopkins. Economists hanky tweeted everyday. I accurately measure inflation in turkey today. Measure it at thirty five point six one percent this year as opposed to the official number of eleven point eight nine percent after that fourteen point six percent number came out in december. He said that it was actually twenty. Five point eight five percent per year even holding that aside if you just take the official number nearly fifteen percent inflation a year a staggering that means a having of your purchasing power every year and this has been going on for a long time sue from three hours capital tweeted last night fun fact. The reason turkish lira is t. r. l. is because they've already redenominated before due to massive hyperinflation. Let's add a little more color than about the previous year and a half. The central bank had been keeping interest rates low or at least below consumer inflation. And as we've discussed before on this show. Negative real rates mean investors are discouraged from holding that sovereign debt as well as from holding lira or lira-denominated assets. These have been the policies for eighteen months or more and by fall. The currency was at all time. Lows added to. This fire was the way the turkish central bank had been trying to prop up the lira. Selling more than one hundred billion dollars in us foreign reserves in order to keep the lira from completely cratering in the process this destroyed and depleted their foreign exchange reserves and lead them to actually owing more dollars to turkish banks than the central bank actually had determined. Opposition leaders ask for judicial probe into the official reserves as of november. The country looked to be heading to a full on balance of payments crisis. And on top of this there have been major questions around the independence of the central bank from president. Aragon aragon infrequently given the central bank direct monetary policy instructions had dismissed two governors in the previous sixteen months effectively. When we really take a step back. Turkey has been on the see-saw between currency crisis and inflation. On the one hand and massive austerity and growth slowing interest rate hikes. On the other a currency crisis twenty eighteen led to increase interest rates. And by summer of the next year aragona points quote a friend to cut rates by mid-november when oddball came in it was a swing back to the interest rate hikes austerity side of the pendulum. The first act of akbal as he came in was to immediately raise the central banks one week repo rate which is an interbank lending rate from ten point. Two five percent to fifteen percent now. Interestingly this had started to work things were looking more positive from currency perspective at least in early. Twenty twenty one. Daniel call tweeted this morning. The turkey central bank helped make lira one of the best currencies versus the us d- in twenty twenty one curbing money supply growth via rate hikes helping reduce inflation. The turkish lira was up three point zero seven percent from december thirty first twenty twenty two march nineteenth. Twenty twenty one. It had been down twenty percent the year before it also saw something like fourteen to twenty billion of foreign fund inflows into turkish assets over that same period which reversed years of the opposite direction. Basically the interest rate hikes austerity were performing well in the context of global currency markets. But ogbah clearly didn't believe inflation was getting under control to the degree that he wanted to. He raised rates again to seventeen percent and then finally on the thursday before his dismissal raise them much more than expected to full. Nineteen percent and so the pendulum is swinging back again from interest rate hikes and toward at least in the minds of investors runaway inflation. The newly appointed governor saheb cops. Yo glue said that beating. Inflation is the bank's main objective but also said that they're committed to lowering borrowing costs and bolstering growth. Money managers. basically think he's going to be forced to lower interest rates and accept currency depreciation and indeed the other place. This is showing up is in the cost of insuring. Turkey's government debt against default the price of which rose more than fifty percent over the weekend. What's more this move. And the switch. From ball to cops iaglu super reinforces the narrative that central banks lack independence from erdogan. As well casio glue is a party. Loyalist bloomberg's chief emerging markets. Economists said quote the hit to the central bank's credibility and independence can't be overstated to gone has battered the institutions with interventions that have repeatedly financial markets. Were willing to give ball a chance. His successor will find it hard to build that trust again. So let's talk now about the other dimension to this that you might have caught if you were on twitter. Google searches for the term bitcoin in turkey more than quadrupled over the weekend after akbal sacking wise. That happening while one part of it may be the idea that bitcoin provides in inflation hedge and just a different currency to get away from lira volatility. Which by the way all it using bitcoin to get away from volatility where they don't tell you when they're trying to critique bitcoin is that people can stomach more volatility if there's some possibility that those seventeen percents swings or also to the upside as well but the other part of it is that as i mentioned the new governor has said that they are committed to fighting inflation but doesn't want interest rates to be the tool because they messed with growth. What are there other tools then. Bing bing bing capital controls restricting the flows of capital out of lira and lira-denominated assets so one question might be alongside. Google searches is are we. Seeing an increase in exchange activity owner goes pack. A consultant at the bbc turk pro exchange said that there was a spike in volume and that it was four both usd t tether as an alternative to us dollars and bitcoin on btc turk the bitcoin turkish lira pair has the highest volume with the tether turkish lira pair being the second highest now. This situation is going to evolve a lot. And i think on the one hand you have to just heartbroken. For the turkish people who are stuck between the whims and machinations of politicians and global economic flows that they have no control over when it comes to how much this new set of crypto and digital assets can actually help them escape from those pains. I've said numerous times. One of them remarkable things about this moment isn't that bitcoin and digital assets are going to save everyone from the follies of local currency regimes. That's just not realistic yet. What's remarkable is that for the first time ever the entire span of human history. There is a convenient easy permission. 'less ramp from those regimes for those people. Who have the technical know how to do it. The number of people who have that know how is an ever expanding group and that means that bitcoin and digital assets at an x factor to every single currency crisis. From here on

"Rate and i know you talked about the icc market but could you share any insight about the biggest trend or observation that you're scene where the i c c market over the next six years. Yeah miss great question. Look i think the biggest thing is that contact centers becoming intelligent. So that's the prediction. We made four years ago when we wrote about it and then the last two years. We've done the intelligent context globe award. We've really focused on how these offerings are. Getting smarter revolt just intelligence. A i've as recommendations or you know the use of virtual agents i bots or chapel is but we call them virtual agents at context erland and that's now the biggest race there is so that really impacts the growth of the icy seahawks. And so we actually of the forecast for sec versus what it was in twenty nineteen And the reason for that is. There's more demand in those small midsize enterprise and he will have legacy contact centers to replace. There's with a new one. That's more intelligent. So that's a warning to existing providers haven't really invested in. It's also a warning to buyers. If you hold onto your old context center offering you might get lost in the shuffle of the race digital transformation because every second counts when you're on the phone with a client a customer contact centre and you're not answering questions so if the ai base concepts can do it faster and early data says that they are than that's really disruptor in the market there really so many but home. It's like this packed into all of our visual forecasts in the market accelerators and inhibitors are wants action specifically. That really does stand out to me. I think that's a really unique invaluable insight about see. I'd agree with that jim. How is the market accelerators and inhibitors. Section of the report benefit the reader. Well you know. We specifically call out the accelerate inhibitors probability on whether that accelerated major will drive the market and what percentage of accuracy is at the ninety percent. Accurate accelerators really going to have a huge impact. Or is it inhibitor. That might be say. Seventy percent of inhibitor. As so that is those two tend to start to counteract and so if you've got a market that you've got a fast growth projected for the market but then you have a ton of inhibitors than that forecast might be suspect but the readers in people. They're making decisions on markets. Need to understand and it's hard to do that when you're sitting there looking at table of a statement a reason why the statement is there and probability so we've come up with these new forecasts spider charge that graphically depict acceleration the hitters and adams into a great job helping us with producing these for their words. And then you can look at that picture and really kind of get an idea like wow. For example. some countries in digital transaction made some countries. Just don't want to get rid of paper. That's a massive inhibitor. To the growth of digital transaction management in that specific region. So a little bit of long asked to why accelerated hitter so important but you know on top of that. The video that goes with these Either israel forecast is really one of the biggest things that you can actually see when you see that spider chart in the video. You tend to remember it longer because you just saw at. It's really formatted very nicely out of you did a great job with those things that becomes a major difference maker for us in the overall report because we have so many graphics and figures and we summarize it in a video.

"It can also help reduce vulnerabilities. Craig just research out on this very topic of cloud public cloud versus cloud. Can you talk a little bit about some of the things. They're what are some factors on cloud that enterprises should consider. Public clouds work well for a lot of organizations especially in greenfield deployments as you mentioned when design properly. It workloads public cloud can be a highly secure and cost effective. The caveat is need to closely monitor these workloads in order to keep your cloud costs under control and maintain security the ease of deployment in the public cloud combined with the essential limitless. Resources can be really a double edged sword. It makes it amazingly easy to create resources. But it's equally easy to miss configured. These resources in an insecure fashion in some of these are unintentionally abandoned and left running. You can leave. Potential security vulnerabilities and higher public cloud costs. Now if you're enterprise has existing. It workloads just don't naturally fit within the constraints republic loud. I'd recommend going with a hybrid cloud out. A hybrid cloud can be created by deploying these public cloud unfriendly workloads into a private cloud. That is then linked to your existing public cloud infrastructure. Deploying these workloads to private cloud can provide budge the benefits inherent to a public cloud but on a platform where your organization's. It team can have more direct control over the infrastructure customization security in resource availability due to the non share nature of a private cloud. Great craig what else might enterprise need to consider when weighing these cloud options sure so organizations really need to fully assess each of their. It workloads to understand which ones make sense to place in the public cloud in which ones don't for example. An application running twenty four seven in requiring a large static resource may not be a good fit for the public cloud regulatory restrictions proximity requirements to manufacturing equipment and applications with large i and low latency requirements. These are all of the potential reasons for just not placing the workload in the public cloud so once an organization decides to deploy a hybrid cloud it should strongly consider leveraging containers in both public and private clouds. And then use tools kuban eddie's to automate the deployment of these containerize workloads. This provides them with the flexibility of selectively deploying. It workloads to either public or their private clouds..

Urine earned a bs in mechanical engineering. From the university of massachusetts at dartmouth brings his wealth of practical business experience in it. Knowledge to oregon. Crag it's great to have you with me today. Thank you jim. I'm excited diorite in. Let's start by taking a bird's eye view of what's happening right now. You re wrote a first cut. Analysis of the hacking of a company called solar winds. Can you tell me a little bit about what happened. At this event and why enterprises should care about it why was such a momentous event. Absolutely so in december of twenty twenty solo wins disclose that had had been hacked by an undisclosed foreign government entity resulting in at least eighteen thousand of their customers being exposed to malware in its orion softer product offering this cyberattack extremely sophisticated in is believed to be a russian hacker group and boasts likely state-sponsored they targeted and successfully breached solar winds corporate network eventually gained access to its build servers once. They're the hackers able to inject malicious code into the solar winds orion build process. Then this infected code code. Sunburst was in package and signed with valid solo in certificates giving all recipients of this package the false assurance that this was indeed a valid and safe component of their orion product. This was so devastating because the orion product which is designed to manage a wide range of it resources in an organization requires elevated privilege access virtually all the it infrastructure and enterprises. Both on premise. And in the cloud this new type of attack vector means that supply chains are more vulnerable than we'd ever thought before it will put additional pressure on software vendors and enterprises to use extreme diligence when testings after products and updates before promoting them to production. That's certainly a big time. Hack and you know. Obviously they're still reeling from this and we're still learning what reaches occurred. Craig what are some of the recommendations for enterprise when it comes to preventing clinks their. It supply chain so arrogant reminds that any organization procuring software should evaluate creating their software. Qa teams it will inspect thoroughly test inbound software offerings and upgrades in an isolated staging environment before being even thought of deploying production. We also advised that any service agreements be updated to include software cleanliness clauses so for software providers to perform extra due diligence to prevent this from ever happening again. Lastly and this one is a no brainer. An enforced multifactorial in your enterprise as for all users and servers one of the easiest things he can do help ensure your enterprises secure. Okay thanks craig. And that's really actionable advice. And also add that procuring endpoint and privacy protection platforms and another best practice and reviewed some of that and some of the emerging providers in our hot vendors in privacy and security. Research showed from twenty twenty in fact one of the things that has come out as part of that research is that sometimes the good guys of the bad guys that people that wanna borrow some information for advertising or actually taking a lot more stuff than we thought so. Check that research out. I want to shift gears a little bit and also talked to you. Craig a little bit about cloud and bring cloud in this conversation a little bit about all the different options that people have and how it ties into enterprise security in twenty twenty one. Many organizations are developing newer. It strategies sometimes from scratch or sometimes just to migrate services and obviously there naturally drawn to public cloud options. Some of their benefits include pay-as-you-go operating costs limitless elasticity much less up front capital costs reduced operational complexity and most importantly levels of security. That may be much higher that they can get immediately then they could maybe get themselves often due to maybe the new of this of the company itself a public cloud can provide highly efficient secure. It services for many organizations and it can also help reduce vulnerabilities.

Coronavirus Surge Prompts California To Implement Strict Measures
"The situation in california is now so serious. Most of the state is under a stay at home order. Thirty three million people in a state of forty million or impacted by the strict dick strict measures taken since march and this is because hospitals are filling up very quickly with coronavirus patients. Nicole nixon with cap radio joins us this morning from sacramento nicole. Good morning morning so explain how this stay at home orders working because it sounds like it's it doesn't apply to everyone in the state right right so these new orders type. Two intensive care unit capacity. They'll go into effect when an area has less than fifteen percent of its. Icu beds available. And it's not just the bed sitter the issue here at staff to work those beds that are feeling tight too. So the southern california region and the central valley region went under these new. Stay at home orders yesterday when the available. Icu beds there. Dip below that fifteen percent and also given how things are going here. It's expected that the rest of the state will hit that. Icu trigger in the next week. Or two here on some counties are not even waiting. They're just saying we're going to preemptively. Implement this order but before we even have to. Yeah five counties in the bay area said that. They're not gonna wait for their used to get to that. Point here is san francisco health officer. Dr tomasz aragon explaining why unlike previous searches. Every hospital in california is under stress. There is no place to transfer people if we run out of beds. Three quarters of the states hospital beds are currently fool. These area counties actually implemented the very first day at home order back in march even before the state did so. This strategy is in line with how they've been handling the pandemic from the beginning when we all remember california taking some of the strictest approaches of anywhere in the country early on so does it just feel like we're going back in time to march now in california a little bit the these. These new orders are not as sweeping as the march. Stay at home order for example schools. That are already open can stay open on the other hand. Businesses like hair and nail salons movie theaters bars and wineries have to close again restaurants. Have to go take out or delivery. Only in churches have to conduct worship services outdoors retail. Stores can stay open this time but at a very limited capacity and these orders will be in effect for at least three weeks however business owners reacting will. Many business owners are angry. Small businesses have already been through so much this year and some see the ban on outdoor dining and things like that as arbitrary. I've been talking with small business owner rosy barra. She's a hairstylist. In temecula in southern california and she told me that she does not intend to comply with this new round of restrictions. I am not closing. I feel confident to properly and safely. Take care of my clients. None of my clients have rescheduled. None of them. Feel that coming to. My salon is going to be unsafe for them at this time. Barra says that for months. She's been following the health guidelines from the state the county and the state cosmetology board and she says that those things are working so resistant that i can make it hard for the state to enforce this. Yeah well the state doesn't have an easy way to enforce it without relying on local police in some local sheriff's have have been reluctant to shut down individual businesses and in saying they'll go education. I instead so in effect. The governor's counting on persuading people to stay home.

Uncontrolled Airspace: General Aviation Podcast
Airport Full - No Parking Please
"So the airlines had a whole new kind of problem these days, and and this is an interesting shots of it. Breaks. My heart to. But. David! What's this? This is the you called her attention to the story about this airport in Spain. No passengers but also no place to put airpl- new anymore airplanes. No! No parking sign went up some time some time ago at Terrell Airport in Aragon and eastern Spain. and for a while recently it topped the list of Spain's busiest airport and if you look at the photograph at the link. You should quickly discern what. It's turned into. A parking lot on par with. Mahabe in a couple of other places in the South West. Uses a aircraft storage. Yeah, yes, of course. Mojave is for airplanes that are that are extensively retired. These are just airplanes that are parked and. Waiting to go back into service, it kind of begs the question of where I don't know it makes me think. that. There are a lot more airplanes in the under normal times. There's a lot more airplanes in the sky than we ever realized and now that we now that we can't store them in flight. You know we've got to put them because you would think that there would be no got park someplace overnight, but apparently not they you know. They always had to park someplace overnight. As my point well, they always had to park someplace overnight, but they add gauge to do that at. And Hey be even overnight. There's still some of them in operation right right right. Oh and I see what you're saying. Chip that that even though things are down, they have to keep gates open. They can't use the gates as parking places right because they are. You know not as much, but they are using the gates. Okay, I'd forgotten about that. You're right all right so Yeah, we see this. We're seeing these kinds of images all over the place with the airliners. Active airline aircraft. Act I don't know how to put this exactly. What's the right term? But the point is are not retired aircraft there just. Aren't needed right now. Short term storage. Yeah, yeah, and how did you get? A work is getting longer and longer. It depends I mean. I saw somewhere where I don't know which carrier, maybe as just a general rule for for those types of airplanes but They had. mechanics early technicians periodically going out empowering things up, and and maybe even starting the engine cycling, the hydraulic system things like that, and just on a on a regular basis calling at flyable storage or something. That's certainly you know one way to do it another way to do. It would be to just seal the sucker up. Leave it there. Until, however, if Rao, our law and you have a laundry list of things to then go through. when you want to take it out of storage, well certainly gonNA. Have a laundry list one way or the other it. Depends you know, it depends on the airplane be. It depends on how it's stored. Right exactly and. It's in sorry I keep drifting away from the micro. Keep on. that. Bottle of water. So. It's an interesting question. I wonder if they already had procedures for such a thing or if they're trying to design to write these procedures I think quick answers, yes. They had procedures and they needed to write new ones. They they have checklists. They have all kinds of. Maintenance requirements. Powering the airplane up powering down whatever. But I think they also had to write some of that and again, depending on the aircraft and depending on the carrier. have to rewrite some of their procedures to consider this longer longer term flyable storage. Yeah the and the long term storage slightly So many years see yeah, they they've got a big long list of what they do. I mean they mask over all the air inlets? All the heat exchangers. Tape over the window put protection over the window so. transparencies don't suffer from sandblasting when the wind goes whipping through the airport and pick up debris. Pickle the engines of Put tight covers on the enlighten exhaust into the rice. Block up those heat exchangers. It it's. It's a substantial undertaking to mothball and airplane for a long period of time. Probably. Probably not anywhere near that because. They're subject to getting back into fleet as soon as the traffic supports it. And that's the reason they're. They're the. Shutdown of flying an international travel from Kobe nineteen is knock traffic in the dirt. I mean Air France has one hundred eighty airplanes. In storage out of lead to twenty four. Holy Crap that's only forty four airplanes that they're operating

"Today. We're talking about one of the most controversial figures in English. History person to and fall from power. Were extremely dramatic. She helped bring about England's split from the Catholic Church became the queen of England and had a daughter who would serve as one of the most famous monarchs of all time. Her opponents accused her of witchcraft. And slandered her name and historians continue to debate her real intentions. Let's talk about the mysterious and Berlin and Berlin was born around the year. Fifteen hundred in Norfolk England. Her father was a respected royal attendant and her mother was the daughter of a powerful duke and spent her teen years at the French court as a companion for Henry. The Eighth Sister Mary who was married to the French king by fifteen twenty two and was back in England. She wore glamorous French clothing and copy attention of many suitors. She even caught the eye of King Henry. The eighth himself and may have I come into contact with King Henry after acting as the lead in a court play in fifteen twenty six. At that time Henry was still married to his first wife. Catherine of Aragon though the pair had a daughter they had been unable to produce a male heir to the throne and Henry was getting desperate. The story goes that Henry tried to make an his mistress but she refused to sleep with him out of wedlock. That may have served to increase. Henry's infatuation yet. Divorce wasn't an option. As Henry was a devout Catholic. Henry attempted to get his first marriage annulled but the pope refused his please. An may have inspired the eventual solution. It was the era of the Protestant reformation and and gave Henry a copy of a book called obedience of a Christian man. The Books Protestant author argued that kings were actually the rightful head of the church. Not The pope. This book greatly influenced Henry who ignored the pope's wishes divorced Catherine in fifteen thirty one. An Berlin married King Henry. The eighth in January fifteen thirty three the next year Henry broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and established his own. The Church of England. This move caused conflict in the country for the subsequent two centuries after her marriage and helped gather and support a new royal court that bolstered. Henry's decision to found a new church.

Bridging Ethereum Wallets with Pedro Gomes
"Pedro could you do us a favor and give us an introduction on who you are where your minds at and how you ended up in the CRYPTO space today cope. Thanks for having me on the show guys. Of course so I. I started an e commerce as a developer building online shops in one of the things. That always really intrigued me. Was the payment systems like paypal striper like Mike Prussia's in terms of tech and then eventually moved into Fintech and I started working smart banking so I was always kind of leaning towards like personal. Finance user experience spoke after a few months working smart banking. You get a good grasp of the traditional finance regulations and everything and that's where I got really bored and tired of like developing features and not having to comply with regulators and features getting toned or cancelled. And that's where I got into tier when I saw smart contracts. I heard about this before but it was just a internet money but cerium really brought me into the building. A smart contract imprecations on chain. That's where I fought. This is where finance is really going to go. And it's going to move away from all the traditional finance and regulations and everything people will be really in charge of their personal finance. And that's the part that I was mostly involved was developing bang. Interfaces so wallets felt like the really next step and one of the companies that I worked I balanced and balanced was developing Interfaces for not only managing portfolios but also developing a wallets. But at the time there weren't many good solutions for building wallets We actually played around. With a semi custodial solution but then we really didn't want to dive into the the the idea of having to manage keys for the user. There was a lot of risk involved in that so we kind of just. We started brainstorming. About like how could we improve the user experience? The first APP was bounced manager where we developed Lake. Immanent away to just manage your tokens and indices very nicely so you could just like law again and have met a mosque never thing but a lot of the experience was kinda conditioned by the waltz like it was always around we can do as much as many. Moskowitz allow us and we really were man. We really wish we could just like control the wallet side. We should build a mobile. And then that's that's where the the direction kinda headed. The problem was a mobile wallets and our interface weren't really playing together because the beauty of the interface was having the full desktop screened manage. Your portfolio Tokens San Receive Exchange. But how could we then integrate with our mobile wallet which would store the private keys and we can actually provide a better experience for signing transactions messages. And that's where Walt can came in and well it connect. Kinda was inspired by. What's up? I remember once more of a desktop user so I had once web and you can just Kinda cure code and it just does this handshake between the device. And from that point. You literally just use your desktop. Yep that's volley go a little bit into you. Know more on the tactful while it connected. Let's let's sort of backpedal a bit more than just sort of diving more about who? You are So like that being said like you came into space. You had like you know your own like idealistic view on openness and Permission List like being able to build an innovate on top of these financial tools. That you really wanted to do so. You saw an opportunity in niche break into the space like that being said. So where did you find your earliest connections into the community before you started working on balance? And all that stuff. How did you sort of make that segue into traditional finance? Here's this thing. Daring of cool smart contracts liberty. Let me do my part to help here as I should be funny story actually so I I was. I was just doing my day job. The Smart Bang and I would spend most of my time just talking to my peers about look at this thing that the gym can do. Look at this thing that Jim could do and they would always joke about every day. I would have some fun. Facts about the tearoom some cool project that I've found and I would just like spend more and more time even during my job like looking to term style and one of the things that I did most was joining twitter and start tweeting about determine stuff and I. I remember applying like on a few jobs. I remember I played for Aragon and other jobs with at the time it had like no experience watching. It was definitely no go but On twitter through the M Richard Burton from balanced reach. That's how he space. I just got at the end and he was like you seem like a pretty solid developer and year actually know about to tear him so we should talk and then we just met up and he was in London at the time. That's where I was working for and then we went to an ATM. Meet up at the time which was so small like at the time. It looked great but that I think about it. There was like twenty people and it was awesome. It was like the first cross about how people were talking about tokens and creating different interfaces and everything and at that moment I was hooked. Not There I was just okay. I gotTA leave this traditional financing and that's when I joined balance around August two thousand seventeen so Early eat area Morella. I'm sorry go ahead after me major but just curious early term that Oliver I mean were you in early. Two thousand two thousand seventeen doesn't seem early compared to a lot of folks in the space. Well it all depends on where. You're looking at the charts. Basically I think asking is like were you early insurance financially which led to your further because expansion on your motives or was it just like pure curiosity well. I. I didn't even unencrypted time. I was really I was really just. I remember every time I told even on my regular job I would talk to my peers and there were like. Oh but bitcoin is going this and this and this and I'm like you're missing the point. I was completely baffled by how they were looking at. The prices and I was just like look at this tech and everything and I remember looking documentation and it was only around that year in December. Though is like wow. I'm kind of missing this whole run like I should buy some meat though is like really caught up by technology. I think I missed out a lot of the financial gain space. Its Own. It's important now. I'm like full on the and I own more cryptic than feed. Yeah it's that's a fun game to play. It is hard to manage. Sometimes it's fun so my question is You said you were traditional finance and a lot of features in at County Rail. A lot of plans that got thrown in the trash can things that you just couldn't do because of compliance or otherwise. So how old one of the things that you couldn't do that you can't and you're Bernie crypto well. There's a lot of clever ways that he can play around with like for example the same way we have compound than everything we had like these cold goals which were like these kind of buckets of money that he could put aside in everything. But there's only so much we could do so what we ended up just doing was just splitting into different accounts so the person could just like put money aside for a trip or put money aside for a lot of the wanted to buy so it was. Kinda like just containerized. Their money into different buckets. But we couldn't do much like there was so much we can do like. That could go into savings that there were so many financial instruments that we could build for their own financial empowerment that warm compliance because there were so many regulation issues with us putting some interesting to like those buckets for example and Yeah so it's Kinda like you. You wanted to be able to automate people's financial lives in a way that benefited but because the regulations probably let's just get down to the brass tacks. Everybody's gotTa make some money on the processes you couldn't do it. Yeah there there's a there's a very big barrier to new
BBC World Service
The total number of under-5 deaths worldwide has declined dramatically in the last 20 years
"In a week like most others when the news has been dominated by the grim and the frightening almost unnoticed has been a report showing that humankind is making huge strides in one particular area of development namely child mortality reports from the World Health Organization and the bill and Melinda gates foundation released this week have certain that in almost all countries of the world the number of children dying before the age of five has fallen over the past twenty years in the year two thousand the figure was nearly ten million child deaths by twenty seventeen that figure was almost. even as the world's total population continued to grow a story to celebrate but not apparently covered by most news organizations it's something to do with the way we produce and consume news an old bug bad for my colleague Michael blast and the date has been staring at this for years the trend unmistakable and amazing what sold is how many miss it one expert used to quiz people about big trends and compare their own sister the random guesses of chimpanzees the chimps one every time educated audiences with systematically wrong. you've gotta ask where we get our information well from the news which overlooks the trends in favor of certain events shapes perceptions with timing and disaster and so we miss one of the most colossal changes in human welfare. well now we know Michael last month but here on the world this week we like to try a little bit harder so let's drill down into these latest child mortality figures James Gallagher is the BBC's health correspondent econ say that having fewer children dying all around the world is anything other than a tremendously good story it is tremendous and incredible progress warmly how's it been done I have to be honest it's really quite boring stuff is what you would call the hash tag basics aids can people access to clean water good quality nutrition basic medicines things like antibiotics and vaccines that prevents infections will help children when they have them but also one really big thing is being improving the cat around the world for pregnant women and at that moment in childbirth because that first month of life it's the most dangerous point to be a life as a child that's when you'll most likely to die and so improving CAD that moment in time has also had this huge impact when you say improving can. eventing under fives from dying it's relatively simple stuff yeah absolutely I mean this is not correct really complicated tens of thousands of dollars innovative brown you health Calacanis of the C. rolled out on health services in your friend the United States is the stuff that medicine is known for decades it's really simple really easy today having medical staff that can be that when things go wrong during labor having drugs things like antibiotics if a child has an infection that early days having things like the new moon a call cold vaccine to be able to give to children said of that last night to get pneumonia which is one of the major killers of children say these are not complicated things but the challenges in some of the horrible will tune parts of the world the doing the basic things can be incredibly difficult and is that she figuring out the ways of getting everybody access to the things that we know what that's been the challenge and that means not just getting governments to be committed to doing that but also they have to be able to get the message out so it requires infrastructure in terms of roads and communications requires education in terms of nursing and medical stuff it's an across the board ever which has to be undertaken which is why you see in some countries the results are a bit more patchy in that which areas of countries fed better than the poorer less developed areas you're completely right if I was to suddenly become a multi billion Aragon just gonna pay for load of doctors I know you said that you can actually get them to the people that need them it's about building an environment and infrastructure that allows people to access these resources is not just about getting hold of them in the first place and that's where you often see these rich versus poor divides within countries this urban versus rural divide where if you live in a city you're gonna be physically much closer to a hospital than you are where is more than a hundred kilometers away from where you live down a dirt road. in amongst this good news story though there are as you explained great instead of patches it's a truism to say that the poorer parts of the world you live in the great the danger that there's going to be high rates of infant mortality yeah it takes the let me give you a couple think it's safe you to look at sub Sahara Africa and the proportion of children that died before the fifth birthday just just think about that fifth birthday in sub Sahara Africa one in thirteen children die before they turn five the further north Europe is one in two hundred I mean that is a dramatic Gulf despite the fact those improvements all around the world they're a particularly in Africa still policy Southeast Asia whether all high levels of infant mortality that coming down but then no way near as good as they theoretically could pay and yet this is undoubtedly a good news story why does it not get the sort of coverage that well other stories that okay by the headlines do well I think bits of it have been maybe we sometimes you don't always see the complete picture say we've reported many times the tremendous progress that has been made same tackling malaria malaria kills overwhelmingly young children so we seen little aspects of the story but I would say that apart from over soon very fine programs like this journalism can be very bad at looking at the big picture sometime with so focused on the here and now the latest break through war developmental crisis that actually sometimes we do just need to take a step back look at the big picture and that she sees something that's been staring us in the face the for two decades child mortality is basically halt it's a tremendous success story and how we talked about it no way near as much as we should have done James Gattaca that's it from the well this

Really helps is helping me right now 'cause normally I'd be like oh tempted to just like go. He was thinking about me but I'm like actually is not not the one but anyway getting back with Aragon. Thank God that it was an awkward which is Great. It's coming back home. Maybe anyway. It's our year twenty nineteen year. I always like is just reminder. -Til out there sometimes conversations conversations don't have to be that complicated. Yo you know what I mean especially with dudes to be honest. Yes they don't they don't care need to be that complicated. You don't have to call them.

I hate that hate hate that lake. That sort of marced yet forced lake. I don't know just like a weird humor. Yeah Weird Humor you. We had our you everything good good good cut. We asked the we as the group what we what we should talk about for the Intros and there was a suggestion a suggestion into the books we've read this year our favorite books that have really impacted us or Ben thought-provoking or interesting and so we are excited to talk about that in this intro throw Ya and my reading pattern I've learned and now accept is that I can't really sit for hours on end and read. It's not but I have friends who do and I'm among little jealous. You know where I finished his book. Today I started at this morning. I took out of House Harry Potter. I wish I wish I had that. I don't know if it's attention attention span or what so my styles just I'm able to pick it up. Open read for twenty minutes an that's up for the day. I think the books that I'm reading now now. Don't really allow me to to do that because most are self help rea- so I need to take one bet absorb it digestion and that's actually really early in this I was listening to this podcast. I forget the name of it but the person was talking about how you really learn and you should really be able to process and digest the information in order to make it applicable so it's not like plowing through everything just to get it done. It's really absorbing it right. Yeah I can start I have like I had this random one suggested to me recently by my therapist but and she gave it to me women who run with the Wolves Nice heard of that myths and stories of the wild woman archetype and I wanna read from the back that just gives a really good idea of what the says within every woman their lives a powerful force filled with good instincts passionate creativity and angels knowing she the wild woman who represents the instinctual nature of women but she is an endangered species in this book. Thus doctor stays unfolds rich intercultural miss myths fairy tales and stories many from our family to help women reconnect with the fierce healthy visionary attributes of this instincts nature so basically like we. I've lost this like we are condition not to be wild woman to tap into her to be her to really express her so it's a a really nice digestible. I just read one story like every day and I didn't think I would story is to be completely honest. I'm like Oh myths and stories. He's you don't even then I'm like Oh. This reminds me of college. Were breeding of Odysseus. I don't really know but it's great it. Like Kinda puts you in that you know Dreamworld of Oh this. This is something I feel very deep. Deep inside of me and I'm really unable to express this and like why I love that I really I really liked being untamed women y'all and then for for work. I just dip into Brunei Brown's dare to lead every night for a few pages brave work tough conversations and whole hearts so it's really coming from a heart centered that took place when you lead and what's been really helpful as how those hard conversations and so much bad is through wilner ability so much of that is through a setting expectations so much of that is being honest. You know being honest. When maybe you don't know or when you fuck up up your team if you have a team respects you more and there is more interconnectedness and the full goal or the the overall goal so I really I love Bernie? She's she's the best so even if you're not managing a team if you're managing a family oh you know a lot of different social construct sandwich that same structure or prescription. She prescribed works I completely agree. I'm talk. I'm excited to see that I actually haven't read it. Yeah that's really good and then I always have my. I've mentioned this on the podcast before but my ask your guides by chicks chocolate coat coach. Shit now. I read this romance novel. I notice it looks like our own Ken. This is connected to your divine support it systems so she really gives you a set by subway. Then it gets deeper as you go along to connect your spirit guides to your writing dear guides to do you know different types of guides so it's really cool and you do a little experiments along the way in it fucking works the all who's the the author for that one. Sonia Coach Coquette C. H. O. Q. U. E. T. T. e. she also trust or vibes at this one's. Real Rogan love that she got to work one works spiritual or and then like a story time where he time one love that that's great correct so I actually plowed through all love Janine roths books this year I needed dig in. I have read anything so Janine Roth is she talks a lot about the emotional relationship chip and familial relationship that we have with food our relationship with food and I really love her approach. She's been really inspirational for me and a few other people people that were very close to yet simkin who's been on the podcast Janet Cabreja who's been on the podcast so I read all of her books. when food is Love Women Food in God when you're eating at the fridge pull a chair emotional eating or breaking free from emotional eating and there was just a bunch of them and there's actually one that was a workbook that I didn't. I didn't do but an end to be to be completely honest. I think if you just read woman food and God or when food is love. You'll be good you could you could explore the other ones about it because I feel like sometimes there is redundancy. You know when I read all of them. At the same time it was really beautiful to kind of explore the ways in which I could could see how my eating patterns within my life and with my childhood came to play with my relationship with my family with my mom and my dad and everything like that so so it's really informational. It's it's not like a diet broke. It doesn't really tell you how to eat when to eat or anything like that. It just helps you to really analyze and look at your relationship with with food and what food means for you and your life is food. Intimacy is food. Love is food. Freedom is food and escape. Whatever food is for you. It helps you really understand that and then works through that in a really beautiful way so interesting about that like is intimacy. Is it freedom as an escape. Yeah it's interesting. I know it's like so they describe each one and then deciders like a little quiz or not. West but CERNAN yeah. That's really just how I kind of thought it so in there is different ways and relationships that it is described but that's kind of the way that I gathered that information information yeah expand the ways that works cool but yeah it's really good and I would highly recommend for anyone that has binge eating. You know anything related. Did you any food issues where they would like to better understand why they do what they do as relates to food so that was really good. That's Janine Roth. I'm hopeful to have her the podcast and then I just I actually reading Graham handcocks new book America before INS about new discoveries discoveries as it relates to findings archaeological findings and historical findings that they've discovered in north and South America in the recent twenty years I and it kind of goes against the fact that we believe that we are the most advanced civilization civilization to exist today and it speaks to the fact that there were most likely more advanced civilizations than us that existed in the Americas in previous times and it talked about about a global cataclysm that ended the last ice age and how there was people living before us that were more advanced and had better technology than we do so it's really beautiful and it's just really interesting and and really thought provoking and I really love grandma handcock. I think he's an amazing person. I think he's so well-spoken and it's it's interesting seem to think about and talk about and with that. It's kind of like a fun oftentimes what I'm looking for in books as something to better understand myself but more you're so I'm always looking for information. That's interesting conversations. I want to be always thinking of new things. I want to always be bringing new information to the table. Whether it's a podcast with friends with my relationship it's really important that I remain dynamic in that way and I'm learning something new so great man Cox books are really good for that and Graham was also on the Joe Rogan podcast cast so you can hear that podcast episode and he talks a lot about it so if you want a teaser to the information from his book you can look look there and then I actually got recommended commended this book by a friend 'cause I'm looking for more information about the history of race relations in America and and how I can go deeper and that now I can learn more about that
Monocle 24: The Globalist
Tuesday 18 June
"Televised political debate is a rarity in techy said there was considerable interest when the two men hoping to become Istanbul's next appeared together on Sunday night to argue who should win a festive election being declared void early this year with both candidates declaring they head victory stolen from them. Well, I login usually is a journalist based in estan will, and she joins us now. Welcome back to monocle twenty four. Tell us a background to this debate, please. So it as you said, it's it was incredibly a rare sight for Turks to see there hasn't been a political debate since two thousand and two when president Aragon I entered power his party became the biggest power here party here in Turkey. And so there was a lot of interest in it. It was a marathon debate on for about. Three hours and people gathered in streets and imparts, as well as their homes to watch it. So it really captivated people's attention. Now, this was between the ruling party favorite and the secular opposition candidate to men who believe that victory had been snapped from them in the last that Kim. That's correct. So the ruling party candidate alleges that votes were missing tributed to his rival during the election on March thirty first and the opposition candidate at grim Imola, who was the declared winner on March. Thirty first says that it was stolen from him. Several weeks later when the high election board nullified the outcome, based on the party's objections, but they both agreed to a rerun. They're both standing in this election. That's going to take place on June twenty third and pulse show, their neck and neck. So we don't know what's going to happen just yet at tell us a little bit about what it was actually, like watching an open debate on Turkish television. Very much an unusual sight. I mean it's not that there has been a televised political debate and so long. It's the fact that so much of the media is very much sympathetic to the government line reporters without borders. Estimates that nine out of ten television stations and newspapers are either owned by the stage or businesses that are close to government. And so just to see an exchange views when the relatively rare occurrence to see a ruling party politician challenged in front of the nation was something that Turks hadn't seen in a very long time. And I think that there was widespread appreciation for it on both sides. I wound up in a park out side, where they'd set up a giant screen to watch it with supporters of imam alone and. People I spoke to said, regardless of the party, this particular debate. We're just glad to see that politics is something that can be discussed that there can be this exchange of views, tell us a bit more about how the press reacted, too, because when you have a televised debate in normal circumstances arguably, what then happens is the price old pick apart. What happened who won who lost? Its Atra has not been able to happen into. Thirty. There's been a bit of that. But pretty quickly.

Billionaire Investor Ray Dalio urges capitalism reforms to fix wealth 'national emergency'
"One of the most successful investors of all time is somebody you probably have never heard of despite his net worth of eighteen billion dollars, Ray Delio avoids extensive interviews and has not allowed news cameras. Full access to his firm Bridgewater associates until now he predicted the two thousand eight financial crisis. Now, he sees a prolonged period of sluggish economic growth and the threat of a confrontation between the US and China, but there's a greater danger Delio wanted to warn us about. So we figured it would be a good investment of our time to do a deep dive on the principles of Ray Delio. When a billionaire invites you to his boat. You've got it go. Terrific data be out on the water, especially if he sends the choppers take you we flew just north of Nassau in the Bahamas to me Ray dally off air at lined up. Big enough. A Lucia is one hundred eighty foot long research ship and Ray dallies, pride and joy. Well, what a wonderful place to meet you. Thanks for having. Dallaglio love scuba diving bought it nine years ago. He wouldn't tell us for how much, but he had it decked out with scientific year including submarines that can dive a half mile fantastic. Great fantastic. There we go. Before we go deeper, we should tell you what's on his mind. Dallaglio who grew up middle class is alarm about the growing divide between the haves and have nuts. He points out that over the span of a decade. America's lowest paid workers had just a fourteen percent chance of rising to the middle class. What has happened to the American dream? I think the American dream is lost. I think for the most part. We don't even talk about. What is the American dream? And it's very different from when I was growing up. What's not working? It's not redistributing opportunity, we can call it a wealth gap. You can call it an income gap. And so I think that if I was the president of the United States or it has to come from the top. What I would do is recognize that this is a national emergency. It's bad. If you look at history, if you have a group of people who have very different economic conditions, and you. Have an economic downturn. You have conflict in the thirties. For example, you had four major countries that were democracies that chose not to be democracies because they wanted leadership to bring water to the conflict. I'm not saying we're going to go there. I'm saying that right now, it's a huge issue. It's unfair and at the same time it's unproductive and at the same time it's threatens to split us spends a lot of time thinking about where the markets and the world are going here at the financial powerhouse. He built Bridgewater associates is tucked in the woods of Connecticut at the confluence of two rivers popular for fishing. Fifty miles from the chaos of Wall Street. So you play com- com- this critical. You know, the motions will kill you at sixty nine Ray Dallaglio bears little resemblance to any Wall Street shark. He's more like a quirky professor Dallaglio has joined fellow billionaire, Bill Gates and others in their belief that the concentration of wealth in fewer and fewer hands is a threat to democracy, so should taxes on people. Like you the raised. Of course, you say, of course, of course, one way were another important thing is to take those tax dollars and make them productive. Very very recently. The idea's been that cutting taxes on people like you will promote productivity. Yeah. That doesn't make any sense to me at any sense at all. So it's gotta be through taxation. Yes, am I saying something that's controversial? It's just strangely here. It come from the mouth of a billionaire. I've lived the American dream. You know, his father was a jazz musician, his mom, a homemaker dally bought his first stock when he was twelve with money. He earned as a golf caddy today. Dallies firm manages one hundred sixty billion dollars. It has all the excitement of an insurance agency dallies analysts don't chase the gyrations of the market. Instead, they quietly study centuries of history looking for patterns in stocks politics, anything to help by winning investments Delio is especially bullish on China, which he predicts will be the greatest economy of the twenty first century and America's greatest rival last year. His global approach helped him earn a remarkable fifteen percent for his clients. While the Dow dropped six percent, we see the successful Ray. But you hit some bumps along the road on the way here. Yeah. Like in the eighties. You bottomed out. Oh, yeah. The Federal Reserve is less able to revive that. Then he was a Wall Street whiz. Kid absolutely certain a depression was on the horizon. The economy is now teetering on the brink of failure. He was wrong, very wrong. He missed the boom of the nineteen eighties. I read that you called yourself in Aragon jerk was an arrogant year. I had tomorrow ten thousand dollars from my dad take care of my family, your musician, dad had to cough up ten thousand dollars to keep you afloat. Yeah. And it was one of the best things. Really that have happened to me because it changed. My whole approach the decision making it gave me the humility that I needed to balance with my daddy because he took nude of his failures and other lessons over the next twenty five years and wrote principles pub. By Simon and Schuster, a division of CBS. Two million copies of the book have been sold worldwide. It's dallies recipe for creating what he calls an idea meritocracy. So what I mean is that I wanted to system in which the best ideas went out, and I would describe it as tough love, and I wanna get there through radical truthfulness. In other words, people say what they honestly mean and radical transparency allows people to see things for themselves. So get rid of the office. Extel young politicking there's a rule here that you can't talk behind anybody's back. You do that three times you're out of here. Everybody at Bridgewater is monitoring everybody else. Almost all the time. We saw it at this meeting where workers and managers gave each other grades in real time. What sort of grades? Do you get you could see like I get blasted a lot. There's a bit of a big brother vibe here that Cameron is an hours. It's their nearly every meeting is recorded and scrutinized. Can you understand somebody looking at it from the outside that sounds a little strange? No, I understand I even a little creepy. I totally understand how that could sound that way. You also have to understand that when you're doing this awhile. And you look at other organizations and people are not open with each other. And they're hearing a lot of spin that from this point of view that seems creepy you have a high turnover. I would say in the first eighteen months, it's about thirty. Maybe a little over thirty percent to thirty percent sounds like a lot some people describe it. As an intellectual navy seals. You know, you go certain percentage or not going. Make it. And that's the way it is think what you want. It's hard to argue with success Bridgewater has made money for its clients. Twenty five of the last twenty eight years. This is other worldly. Shipwreck? Whether it's investing or exploration Dallaglio goes his own way. A while your fellow billionaires base os Branson, Elon must they're all going into outer space. They're headed towards Mars and the moon you choose to go
