Headlines From The Times - The AriZona iced-tea 99-cent miracle

Since AriZona iced tea launched in 1994, a can of the stuff has cost 99 cents. It’s a business anomaly, yet one that has turned the company into a multibillion-dollar outfit. And the owner vows to keep his iced tea at that price even during the worst inflation the United States has seen in 40 years, which is eating into the company’s revenue.

Today, we get into this odd business ideology.

Host: Gustavo Arellano

Guest: L.A. Times business reporter Sam Dean

As inflation soars, how is AriZona iced tea still 99 cents?

The Intelligence from The Economist - Sana’a sunrise: A ceasefire in Yemen

In Yemen, fighting between Houthi rebels and a Saudi-led coalition has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths. Recently, a ceasefire has taken hold — but whether it presages the war’s end or further fighting remains unclear. A new film about Kashmir has proven popular among Indian politicians, largely because it supports their Hindu-nationalist narrative. And why cricket is taking off in Brazil.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S6 Bonus: Aaron Bromberg, StimScience

Aaron Bromberg is living the Dad life outside of tech. His kids are 11 and 13, so he wants to spend as much time with them before they get too cool to hangout with their parents. He likes to cook, and during the pandemic, he got really into pizza making, even to the point of calculating dough hydration ratios. Previously, he was working as a management consultant, but spending his time reading about electronics. He took that as a sign that he was more of a gadget guy, and joined Bose. Post that he, worked on the product lines at Amazon, like tablets and smart speakers.

Aaron put together a dream team of Neuroscientists to execute a sleep study lab for 3 years. After that time, what they realized was that with a short brain stimulation session before bedtime, they can drastically improve the time it takes to go to sleep, and the entire sleep time itself. They charged ahead to build a product to make this happen, and do so in a personalized way.

This is the creation story of StimScience, and Somnee.

--------------------------------

Five different times during the Earth’s history, the planet has entered a prolonged period of reduced temperatures. When this happens, massive ice sheets form, and sea levels drop. 

While some of these events occurred billions of years ago, not all of them were in the distant past. 

In fact, the last such event had a profound impact on the development of humans as a species.

Learn more about ice ages, how they affect the planet and how they affect humanity, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
