Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - CLASSIC: Did the CIA invent counterculture?

In the US, the 1960s were a crucible of culture -- college students, veterans, the disadvantaged and activists across the country sought to overthrow the status quo and build their own vision of a better world. This period in time produced some of the most influential art, music and prose in recent history, and introduced LSD to the mainstream. So why do so many people think it was ultimately a CIA operation? They don’t want you to read our book.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Get the Bali rolling: the G20 meet begins

The G20 Summit gets under way in Bali today at a time of tensions over Ukraine and Taiwan, and worries about high food and energy prices. We look at what progress, if any, is likely to result from the high-level meeting. An unusually warm autumn has kept gas prices low in Europe. And what a Nobel-prize winner’s work suggests about Neanderthal family life. For full access to print, digital and audio editions of The Economist, subscribe here www.economist.com/intelligenceoffer

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S7 E13: Krish Ramineni, Fireflies.ai

Krish Ramineni grew up in Silicon Valley, observing tech all around him. But really excited him was the innovation happening the in the last 5 years. He used to play sports as a kid - tennis, baseball, etc. - and he was always excited about filming his games or practice, and utilizing software to analyze how he executed the craft. He brings his analytical mainframe into his current venture, and still plays some sports, lifts weights, and tracks his nutrition.

Krish went through meetings like we all do - conducting a meeting with expensive team members, and then forgetting most of the conversation afterwards. He decided he wanted to figure out a way to remember every conversation he had, and unlock the hidden metrics behind meetings.

This is the creation story of Fireflies.ai.

Everything Everywhere Daily - World Population Throughout History

Human beings have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. For the vast majority of that time, the total population of humans has been quite small. 

Then, quite suddenly, at least in the grand sweep of history, the population of humanity exploded. 

Now, it appears that humans might be on the cusp of a new era of demographics, the likes of which we haven’t experienced before.

Learn more about the global population since the dawn of humanity and what is in store in the future on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
