Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S4 E18: Lior Sion, Bringg

Lior Sion has been doing tech for 30 years, since he was in High School. He is married with 2 amazing and a dog (a Vizsla to be specific), and is in his mid 40s. He is passionate about ultra running, which is anything larger than a marathon... which can equate to 5-6 hours of running. Yep, you heard that right. He loves the contrast between being outdoors and computers, and typically runs the trails and rivers around where he lives.

Around 8 or 9 years ago, Amazon was a losing company - as in, they are losing money. At the time, Lior was CTO of a ride hailing company in Europe, where he gained great understanding around logistics in this industry. He realized that though companies like Amazon and Uber could create connected and seamless service for their customers, the rest of the world would have difficult building platforms around logistics, customer ownership, and visibility. Lior and his co-founders decided to create an operating system, enabling these types of players to achieve this out of the box.

This is the creation story of Bringg.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Genie The Feral Child

In October 1970, a blind woman accidentally walked into a Los Angeles County welfare office with a child in tow. The staff in the office immediately noticed the odd girl with the woman. She walked funny, was emaciated, drooling, didn’t make a sound, and when asked, the woman mentioned that the girl was 13. The staff thought she looked like she was seven. This began one of the saddest cases of child welfare in history, and one which fascinated researchers for years.

NBN Book of the Day - Robert Snyder, “All the Nations Under Heaven: Immigrants, Migrants, and the Making of New York” (Columbia UP, 2019)

All the Nations Under Heaven: Immigrants, Migrants, and the Making of New York by Frederick M. Binder, David M. Reimers, and Robert W. Snyder (Columbia University Press, 2019) covers almost 500 years of New York City’s still unfolding story of cultural diversity and political conflict, economic dynamism and unmatched human diversity. This briskly paced volume – which updates a first edition originally published in the mid-1990s – reminds us that today’s hot button debates about immigration, inequality, and globalization have, in various earlier forms, long played roles in the evolution and development of one of the world’s great cities.

Bruce Cory is editorial advisor at The Center for New York City Affairs at The New School.

What A Day - Vaccine But Not Herd Immunity

Four mothers who had been separated from their children at the border by the Trump administration will finally be reunited with them this week, according to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas yesterday. These are the first families to be brought together as a result of a task force President Biden created shortly after taking office, and over the next few weeks, an additional 32 families from across Mexico and Central America are set to be reunited.

Public health experts think it's unlikely we'll ever reach herd immunity in the U.S., at least not anytime in the foreseeable future, because of factors like more contagious virus variants and vaccine hesitancy.

And in headlines: Biden's EPA to cut hydrofluorocarbons, CVS and Walgreens were responsible for the bulk of discarded vaccines, and Bill and Melinda Gates announce their divorce.
