Time To Say Goodbye - Vinson Cunningham on the NBA, Yang, and IRL theatre

Hey, sports fans!

A break from the news cycle with our friend, Vinson Cunningham, a theatre critic at The New Yorker, playwright, novelist, and all-around lovely guy.

Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - CLASSIC: Do intelligence agencies run cults?

Sure, cults are weird. The doomsday prophecies, claims of superpowers and tendency toward brainwashing are all strange, but what if the situation got even weirder? What if intelligence agencies were secretly involved with everything from the Manson family.

SCOTUScast - Facebook Inc. v. Duguid – Post-Decision SCOTUScast

On April 1, 2021 the Supreme Court decided Facebook Inc. v. Duguid. The issue was whether the definition of an "automatic telephone dialing system" in the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 encompasses any device that can “store” and “automatically dial” telephone numbers, even if the device does not “us[e] a random or sequential number generator.”
In a 9-0 opinion authored by Justice Sotamayor, the Court reversed the ruling of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and remanded the case. The Supreme Court held, “To qualify as an ‘automatic telephone dialing system’ under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, a device must have the capacity either to store, or to produce, a telephone number using a random or sequential number generator.” This decision narrows the federal robocoll ban.
Scott D. Delacourt, Partner at Wiley Rein LLP and Daniel Lyons, Professor of Law at Boston College School of Law, joins us today for a conversation moderated by Danielle Thumann, Attorney Advisor for FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr.

African Tech Roundup - UNAJUA S1 EP1: How significant is the opportunity for tech companies in Africa? feat. Derin Adebayo

Welcome to the first episode of African Tech Roundup's new learning podcast series called Unajua. The word 'unajua' is a word in KiSwahili that means "do you know?" Here's how the Unajua Series will work... First, we'll crowdsource pertinent questions from you, The Village, and break them down into 3 to 6 bite-sized sub-questions. Then, we'll invite a revolving door of Villagers who know a little more than a thing or two about how things work in our ecosystem to offer what we're calling 'minimum actionable responses' to these sub-questions—in 15 minutes or less. From here on in, Unajua Episodes will drop every Monday. To launch the series, we've sourced answers to the question: Is the African technology ecosystem at an inflection point? Factoring in on this question in a three-part response is Nigerian analyst and researcher Derin Adebayo. Derin covers technology, entrepreneurship, and venture capital across emerging markets in his monthly Substack newsletter called Unevenly Distributed. He formerly worked at the hotel booking platform Hotels.ng and the VC firm, Ingressive Capital. He now works for Endeavor— the global community of 2,000 odd high-impact entrepreneurs spread across something like 40 emerging and underserved markets. In this episode, Derin tackles the central theme question by answering two sub-questions for the price of one. First, "How large is the opportunity for a tech company in Africa?" Then, "Should we be worried about a lack of exits?" Image credit: Nupo Deyon Daniel

The Intelligence from The Economist - To protect and serve: police reform one year after George Floyd

Protests have followed police killings in America with saddening regularity, but the scope of demonstrations following George Floyd’s murder may mark a turning point in how policing is monitored and regulated. We speak to Lee Merritt, an attorney for Mr Floyd’s family, and to our United States editor—asking how likely cultural and structural changes are to take hold.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S4 E21: Ofer Shaked, SCADAFence

Ofer Shaked started in on computers early. He was passionate about tech from a very early age, and started programming when he was 10 years old. He loves tech, loves reading about tech, and is excited about new things in tech - especially around the topic of tooling.

He really enjoys music, having played the guitar for a while. He now focuses on this recently acquired African drum. He connects with music on a deep level, and can see the correlation between tech and music (or at least, now that we have discussed it). He loves to play sports as well, specifically he loves running. In fact, he ran a marathon a couple of years ago, which in his words was very very... painful. In Israel where he lives, the timing of the marathon is towards the end of the winter... so training requires running in the rain and bad weather.

When he was 24 years old, he had become very familiar with cyber security during his time in an elite cyber unit in the Israeli intelligence corps. He and his co-founder had a unique understanding, and as such advantage, to bring value to the industrial cyber security world.

This is the creation story of SCADAFence.
