The Best One Yet - 👶 “New generation, who dis?” — Gen Alpha’s birth. Pop-Tarts’ mascot. BYD beating Tesla.

What comes after Gen Z? It’s Gen Alpha — Marketers are turning their attention to the children of Millennial parents, and we are too. 

Pop-Tart was the star of the College Football bowls season, thanks to their mascot — Because Kellogg’s new strategy is to give their snacks arms and legs. 

And Tesla has always been (by far) the king of electric cars… until now — Because China’s BYD is now outproducing the electric OG.

Amarica's Constitution - Section Three Punditry: The Good, The Bad, and The Silly

The nation awaits the Supreme Court’s seemingly inevitable review of the Section Three case from Colorado, and perhaps Maine as well.  Media around the world is weighing in with editorials and op-Ed’s; a smorgasbord of legal, political, and predictive arguments from professors, editors, elected officials, and others with their own range of expertise.  We continue our attempt to help you make sense of these by choosing pieces that make the range of arguments out there.  We do our best to present their argument and respond to it, bringing Professor Amar’s considerable armamentarium to bear for your benefit.  And this week, Akhil has at least two - maybe three - major new ideas he brings to the national discussion.  They can be found here first.  CLE credit is available from podcast.njsba.com.

The Stack Overflow Podcast - He created Stanford’s Deep Learning class. Programmers will need to learn faster

Along with his work at Stanford, Katanforoosh is a founding member of deeplearning.ai and co-created the Deep Learning Specialization on Coursera. 

He believes the rapidly expanding capabilities of AI will mean that humans, and especially programmers, will need to learn new skills faster than ever. This doesn't mean machines are going to take our jobs. Rather, with the assistance of AI, humans will become far more capable, learning faster and mastering more domains. 

Not surprisingly, Katanforoosh has built his business with the goal of addressing this issue. Workera aims to help companies identify where their employees lack skills and provide them with personalized instruction that can quickly bring them up to the next level.

You can find Kian on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Stanford's website. 

Thanks to Stack Overflow user PaxDiablo, who was awarded a Life Boat badge for providing a great answer to the question: Given  a month in numeric form, how do you find the first month of its respective quarter?

This includes oil tankers and massive container ships transporting everything from microchips to furniture. Recent attacks by Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, have destabilized the region and prompted the U.S. to organize a multinational naval force to protect commercial ships. Today on the show, what's going on with shipping in the Red Sea.
