Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S7 E22: Paul McCarthy, SnapFix

Paul McCarthy grew up in Cork, Ireland, and went to school there. He lives around the corner from the sea, and likes to dip in now again - literally, swim in the ocean. He calls it a great shock to the system, but ensured that I know he doesn't spend a full hour in the water.

Five years ago, Paul was fed up with the archaic ways that properties were managing their safety, maintenance and work orders manually, through platforms like WhatsApp. He set out to build the simplest way to manage your hotel, facilities and team - using photos.

This is the creation story of SnapFix.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Wu Zetian: China’s Only Female Emperor

In the very long history of China, it has had exactly one female ruler. 

She was a woman who managed, against all odds, to inch her way closer to power over a period of years until she reached a point where she could claim power for herself. 

By all accounts, she was beautiful, brilliant, cunning, and absolutely ruthless.

NBN Book of the Day - Ben Burgis, “Christopher Hitchens: What He Got Right, How He Went Wrong, and Why He Still Matters” (Zero Books, 2022)

In Christopher Hitchens: What He Got Right, How He Went Wrong, and Why He Still Matters (Zero Books, 2022), Ben Burgis reminds readers about what was best in Hitchens's writings and helps us gain a better understanding of how someone whose whole political life was animated by the values of the socialist left could have ended up holding grotesque positions on Iraq and the War on Terror. Burgis' book makes a case for the enduring importance of engaging with Hitchen's complicated legacy.

Ben Burgis is a Jacobin columnist, an adjunct philosophy professor at Morehouse College, and the host of the YouTube show and podcast Give Them An Argument.

What A Day - The Search For Survivors In Syria And Turkey

A powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake and a series of aftershocks struck Turkey and Syria early Monday, killing thousands of people and devastating a region already grappling with civil war and a refugee crisis. 

The U.S. military on Saturday shot down a Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic Ocean, days after it entered American airspace. The incident prompted U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to postpone a trip to China, saying it “undermined” efforts to repair the relationship between the two countries.

And in headlines: officials in Ohio started releasing hazardous chemicals from a train derailment to prevent a massive explosion, Google unveiled its own chatbot tool to compete with ChatGPT, and Crooked Media workers voted to unionize.
