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.

Getting Hammered - Flyin’ High
...Without a mask! A federal judge overrules the CDC's travel mask mandates, much to Mary Katharine and Vic's delight, and the White House's dismay. The Bidens roll into the annual Easter Egg Roll, touting Democrats' eggcellent work to provide top-quality education to America's kids this year (insert eye roll here). Finally, Mary Katharine answers a listener's inquiry about Fairfax County Public Schools' search for a new superintendent.

Talk Python To Me - #362: Hypermodern Python Projects
NBN Book of the Day - Gavin Mueller, “Breaking Things at Work: The Luddites Are Right About Why You Hate Your Job” (Verso, 2021)
In Breaking Things at Work: The Luddites are Right About Why You Hate Your Job (Verso, 2021), Gavin Mueller provides a bracing and wide-ranging study of the fractious relationship between workers and technology under capitalism. Mueller traces the thought and actions of ordinary people past and present – including hackers, dockers, musicians and the titular textile workers - who have recognised that technological ‘progress’ too often comes at the expense of their autonomy and dignity. The book pushes back against visions of machine-driven utopia that have continually re-emerged on both the right and the left, arguing instead that resistance to technology is a key site of struggle throughout modernity, and that a Marxist neo-Luddism is crucial to understanding, and changing, the world today.

In the Bubble with Andy Slavitt - How the Pandemic Changed Health Care (with Dr. Alan Lotvin)
What if we could take the best of what we learned from the pandemic to build a better and more equitable health care system? What would it look like? That question is at the center of Andy’s conversation with CVS Health’s Executive Vice President Alan Lotvin. Alan envisions a future where the expertise of pharmacists and nurse practitioners is better utilized to help aid the labor shortage. And he believes wearable health technology could become as essential as your wallet, leading to fast, convenient, and personalized health care without stepping into a doctor’s office.
