NBN Book of the Day - Geoffrey Parker and Colin Martin, “Armada: The Spanish Enterprise and England’s Deliverance In 1588” (Yale UP, 2022)

In July 1588 the Spanish Armada sailed from Corunna to conquer England. Three weeks later an English fireship attack in the Channel--and then a fierce naval battle--foiled the planned invasion. Many myths still surround these events. The genius of Sir Francis Drake is exalted, while Spain's efforts are belittled. But what really happened during that fateful encounter?

Drawing on archives from around the world, Colin Martin and Geoffrey Parker also deploy vital new evidence from Armada shipwrecks off the coasts of Ireland and Scotland. Their gripping, beautifully illustrated account provides a fresh understanding of how the rival fleets came into being; how they looked, sounded, and smelled; and what happened when they finally clashed.

Looking beyond the events of 1588 to the complex politics which made war between England and Spain inevitable, and at the political and dynastic aftermath, Armada: The Spanish Enterprise and England's Deliverance In 1588 (Yale UP, 2022) deconstructs the many legends to reveal why, ultimately, the bold Spanish mission failed.

What A Day - TikTok On The Clock

The House Ethics Committee is officially investigating New York Rep. George Santos over whether he broke campaign finance laws. He’s also facing scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct from a prospective staffer.

Lawmakers are sounding the alarm over TikTok, with some members of Congress calling for a total ban of the video-sharing app in the U.S. TikTok has been under scrutiny for its data privacy practices, and because its parent company is based in China. 

And in headlines: Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed a controversial bill prohibiting drag performances into law, Finland’s Parliament gave final approval for the country to join NATO, and a reported battery fire forced a Spirit Airlines flight to make an emergency landing in Florida.

The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Rep. Ralph Norman Explains How Republicans Plan to Tackle America’s Spiraling National Debt, Spending

The clock is ticking on America’s debt.


“You cannot spend yourself into oblivion like this country's been doing,” Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., says, adding that Republicans are “going to tackle it head-on.”


America has reached its current debt ceiling of $31.4 trillion, and Treasury’s extraordinary measures will likely be able to extend current federal spending levels until June.


Republicans say they won’t raise the debt ceiling until there is a cut in federal spending.


Norman joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference just outside Washington, D.C., to explain how Republicans intend to cut spending and restore fiscal responsibility in America.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - TBD | What Would Convince a Lab Leak Skeptic?

It was reported this week that the U.S. Department of Energy now believes, “with low confidence,” that the COVID-19 virus came from a lab. But is there enough evidence for the “lab leak theory” to convince those who believe the virus emerged from animals in a wet market?


Guest: Angela Rasmussen, virologist at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada.


Host: Lizzie O’Leary

The Daily Signal - BONUS | ‘The Anti-Defamation League Defamed Us,’ GiveSendGo Co-Founder Says

Heather Wilson, co-founder of the crowdfunding platform GiveSendGo, told The Daily Signal that the Anti-Defamation League, a prominent Jewish legal advocacy group, smeared her organization.


“The Anti-Defamation League defamed us [without] having any facts behind it,” Wilson said, emphasizing the word in an interview Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference.


She said the organization was referring to alleged extremists “who are raising funds for legal fees, because we allow that on GiveSendGo, because we allow it in the United States of America.”

The Anti-Defamation League, or ADL, did not respond to The Daily Signal‘s request for comment.


Wilson, whose organization allows individuals to raise funds for a wide variety of peaceful and legal causes, faulted ADL for putting out “a hit piece on GiveSendGo,” referring to a January report titled “How Bigots and Extremists Collect and Use Millions in Online Donations.”


“It said GiveSendGo was the main crowdfunder of these extremist terrorist groups and they quoted some numbers, however many millions of dollars have been raised by extremist terrorist groups on GiveSendGo, but they don’t quote any [specific] campaigns,” Wilson said. “So they might put like one or two and if you click on the campaigns they’re quoting, there’s like $400 or $250.”


Wilson said ADL never reached out to GiveSendGo for comment.


“What it comes down to, they never reached out to us,” she recalled. “Usually if you’re going to put a piece out on somebody, you want to get the other’s opinion or some talking points or, ‘What do you think?’ Give us a chance.”


Wilson joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss the work of GiveSendGo.

The Stack Overflow Podcast - The nature of simulating nature: A Q&A with IBM Quantum researcher Dr. Jamie Garcia

A chemist by training, Jamie serves as Senior Research Manager of Quantum Applications and Software at IBM Quantum, which offers cloud access to advanced quantum computers capable of solving highly complex, highly interconnective, and dynamic problems.

Learn about the superconducting qubits IBM Quantum uses to program quantum computers. (Need to back up a bit? Learn what a qubit is.)

Jamie explains how a heavy hex architecture allows IBM to limit crosstalk between qubits to ensure coherence times long enough to complete practical calculations within hours, not years.

IBM Quantum’s Qiskit Runtime allows users to optimize workloads and efficiently execute them on quantum systems at scale. 

As you might expect, Jamie and her colleagues are already thinking hard about the intersection of quantum and AI. Learn about System Two, IBM’s next-generation quantum system.

Connect with Jamie on LinkedIn or Twitter.

Congrats are in order for Stellar Question badge winner Dmitry z for asking How can I use environment variables in docker-compose?.
