This Machine Kills - 66. Down and Out in the Neoliberal Code Academy (ft. Daniel Greene)

We’re joined by Dan Greene, author of an excellent new book, The Promise of Access: Technology, Inequality, and the Political Economy of Hope. Dan’s work provides a deep analysis of how public institutions like libraries and schools are being transformed in the image of startups — pivoting away from the communities and missions they ought to serve — and the decades of punitive neoliberal reforms that brought us here. We deconstruct noxious policy slogans like “learn to code” and “digital divide,” and discuss why leftists must pay attention to the radical politics — both actual and potential — of libraries.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Is Dogecoin at $0.58 a Triumph or an FU to the Crypto Industry?

As doge soars 45% in a day, the question of how to interpret its success is more pertinent than ever.

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, NEAR.org and Genesis Trading.

NLW asked his Twitter followers about what the success of dogecoin meant to the crypto industry. He got an extremely diverse set of takes. Some see it as a triumph of crypto’s uncontrollability. Some see it as a triumph of the underlying bitcoin tech working on a forked chain that hasn’t had much maintenance in years. 

Others see it as a damning indictment of the market as a whole; something that shows what a joke the whole industry is. 

Which is it? Can it be both?
