The Best One Yet - đŸŒ” “Pinterest’s Q1 is a fake succulent” — Apple vs. Spotify (paid pods). Pin’s 3 dirty words. Polaris’ bachelor party stock.

Pinterest crushed 2020, but investors just crushed the stock because it looked like a fake succulent (good from far, far from good). Apple and Spotify just announced the same product, but with different goals. And Polaris invented the snowmobile, but now it’s beating Harley with the bachelor party playbook. $PINS $PII $SPOT $AAPL Got a SnackFact?

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - A Better Way to Talk About Gun Violence

The national conversation about gun violence in America almost always focuses on mass shootings -- but these events tend to overshadow the more day-to-day violence that makes up the bulk of gun deaths in the U.S. What would our policy conversation look like if more attention was paid to the kind of gun violence that’s most prevalent?

NBN Book of the Day - Erik Grimmer-Solem, “Learning Empire: Globalization and the German Quest for World Status, 1875-1919” (Cambridge UP, 2019)

The First World War marked the end point of a process of German globalization that began in the 1870s, well before Germany acquired a colonial empire or extensive overseas commercial interests. Structured around the figures of five influential economists who shaped the German political landscape, Professor of History, Erik Grimmer-Solem’s Learning Empire: Globalization and the German Quest for World Status, 1875-1919 (Cambridge University Press, 2019), explores how their overseas experiences shaped public perceptions of the world and Germany's place in it. These men helped define a German liberal imperialism that came to influence the 'world policy' (Weltpolitik) of Kaiser Wilhelm, Chancellor BĂŒlow, and Admiral Tirpitz. They devised naval propaganda, reshaped Reichstag politics, were involved in colonial and financial reforms, and helped define the debate over war aims in the First World War. Looking closely at German worldwide entanglements, Learning Empire recasts how we interpret German imperialism, the origins of the First World War, and the rise of Nazism, inviting reflection on the challenges of globalization in the current century. Grimmer-Solem, has written an imaginative and first-rate account of several aspects of Kaiserreich Germany’s politics. No one will in the future look at Germany in this period without referencing this book.

Charles Coutinho Ph. D. of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history. He has written for Chatham House’s International Affairs, the Institute of Historical Research's Reviews in History and the University of Rouen's online periodical Cercles.

Security Unlocked - Knowing Your Enemy: Anticipating Attackers’ Next Moves

Anyone who’s ever watched boxing knows that great reflexes can be the difference between a championship belt and a black eye. The flexing of an opponent’s shoulder, the pivot of their hip - a good boxer will know enough not only to predict and avoid the incoming upper-cut, but will know how to turn the attack back on their opponent.  Microsoft’s newest capabilities in Defender puts cyber attackers in the ring and predicts their next attacks as the fight is happening.

On today’s episode, hosts Nic Fillingham and Natalia Godyla speak with Cole Sodja, Melissa Turcotte, and Justin Carroll (and maybe even a secret, fourth guest!) about their blog post on Microsoft’s Security blog about the new capabilities of using an A.I. to see the attacker’s next move. 


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • What kind of data is needed for this level of threat detection and prevention? 
  • The crucial nature of probabilistic graphical modeling in this process 
  • The synergistic relationship between the automated capabilities and the human analyst 

 

Some Questions We Ask:

  • What kind of modeling is used and why? 
  • What does the feedback loop between program and analyst look like? 
  • What are the steps taken to identify these attacks?

What A Day - CDC What Happens Next

The CDC issued new guidance yesterday that fully vaccinated people don’t need to wear masks outdoors unless they’re gathering in a large crowd, and they can safely enjoy many indoor activities with masks. Of course, the key phrase here is “fully vaccinated." Until you’re pumping COVID antibodies, the CDC continues to recommend masking up in any situation where you’re around other unvaccinated people.

Apple released its latest iOS on Monday, introducing a new tool called App Tracking Transparency that makes apps ask permission before sharing your browsing history with advertisers. This is more than a random act of kindness from Tim Cook, though. We discuss the benefits it might pass on to Apple's ad business.

And in headlines: autopsy results show that Andrew Brown Jr. was shot in the back of the head by police in North Carolina, Epicurious won't tell you how to cook meat, and a Russian guy is the reluctant star of a Chinese reality show singing contest.
