Headlines From The Times - Why the NFL doesn’t hire Black coaches

In a league where Black players make up 70% of active rosters, the NFL currently has only two Black head coaches.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S6 Bonus: Vedran Cindrić, Treblle

Vedran Cindrić grew up in a small town, in rural Croatia. As far back as he can remember, he has been tinkering with computers - messing around with DOS, and of course, gaming. From the very early days, computers became his passion. When he finishing college, he started his own successful design agency before building his current venture. He likes to watch movies and TV shows, and loves to barbecue. I learned that in Croatia they don't smoke meat as much as we do in the states, and stick mainly to pork over beef. One thing I loved that Vedran said was "the best way to eat a salad is when you are having barbecue - otherwise, you wouldn't eat a salad".

When business was booming, Vedran and his team built a tool to help them keep track of all the API's they were supporting. After putting it down several times, they finally figured out how to scale it properly and decided to finish building it... and share it with the world.

This is the creation story of


Treblle.

Honestly with Bari Weiss - Matt Taibbi v. Bret Stephens on American Power

Ever since the end of World War II, America has been the dominant world superpower. We have been ready to use that power to defend our national interest. Or to defend a certain set of values. Or both.


But there has always been a tension in this country between isolationism and interventionism. Between those among us who think we should maintain an active role in world affairs—and those who want to pull back and focus on our myriad problems here at home. 


That long standing debate is being reignited right now on the Russian-Ukrainian border. 


So for today, a debate between Bret Stephens and Matt Taibbi on American Power. When should we use our might? And has recent history proven that we do more harm than good?


Bret Stephens is author of America in Retreat. Matt Taibbi is the author, most recently, of Hate Inc.

Prior to the modern era, very few people traveled anywhere. It was rare for anyone to travel more than about 20 miles from where they were born. 


However, there were a few people who managed to travel quite extensively. In particular, there was one man in the 14th century who might have traveled more than any other person up to that point in history. In fact, he was better traveled than even more people alive today.


Learn more about Ibn Battuta and his extensive journeys around the known world, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
