Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S7 E27: Mathias Nestler, AccessOwl

Mathias Nestler has co-founded several startups in his career, in the insure-tech and fintech spaces. Outside of tech, he does kite surfing and diving. He claims that the calmness under the water is the best way to unwind from tech life. His favorite place he's dived before was in Thailand, where he observed his first seahorse. He often takes the train to Switzerland to see his significant other, and they like to cook at home together.

Coming from a regulated industry, Mathias wanted to build something to help him keep track and document who has access to what, which is a huge time sync and security risk. One day, he had one of his fellow CTO's ask him if he knew of a tool that could do this... and he started thinking, "Maybe I should just build it?".

This is the creation story of AccessOwl.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - CRYPTO CROOKS: Lunacy Episode 3 – Legends of the Fall

This week we delve into the underlying mechanisms of terraUSD and how they incentivized experienced investors to drive the stablecoin into a death spiral.

"Crypto Crooks" is sponsored by Chainalysis.

Do Kwon wasn’t creating a new grift. His coin was history, repeated. Financial experts foretold the failure of Do Kwon’s empire from the beginning – because they’d seen it all happen before, at the Bank of England no less. 

In our deep dive into terraUSD, we examine how the death spiral that ate the stablecoin alive was knit into the very fabric of the project. It was no accident, fluke or unexpected occurrence: It was inevitable. 

Next up, our season finale – and then, a bonus episode on the bombshell revelations of an SEC investment suit against Do Kwon, filed this February.

In the early 1950s, a new type of music burst forth, which had its roots in blues, gospel, country, and swing. 

This new music took the world by storm and was as controversial as it was successful. 

This music has spawned countless variations, some of which are so different that it is hard to see how it evolved.

Learn more about the origins of rock and roll and how it came to dominate music on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Andrew S. Curran, “Who’s Black and Why?: A Hidden Chapter from the Eighteenth-Century Invention of Race” (Harvard UP, 2022)

Who's Black and Why?: A Hidden Chapter from the Eighteenth-Century Invention of Race (Harvard University Press, 2022) is the first translation and publication of sixteen submissions to the notorious eighteenth-century Bordeaux essay contest on the cause of black skin. In 1739 Bordeaux's Royal Academy of Sciences announced a contest for the best essay on the sources of "blackness." The authors ranged from naturalists to physicians, theologians to amateur savants. Documented on each page are European ideas about who is Black and why. 

Looming behind these essays is the fact that some four million Africans had been kidnapped and shipped across the Atlantic by the time the contest was announced. The essays themselves represent a broad range of opinions. Some affirm that Africans had fallen from God's grace; others that blackness had resulted from a brutal climate; still others emphasized the anatomical specificity of Africans. All the submissions nonetheless circulate around a common theme: the search for a scientific understanding of the new concept of race. More importantly, they provide an indispensable record of the Enlightenment-era thinking that normalized the sale and enslavement of Black human beings. Translated into English and accompanied by a detailed introduction and headnotes written by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Andrew Curran, each essay included in this volume lays bare the origins of anti-Black racism and colorism in the West.

Andrew S. Curran is the William Armstrong Professor of the Humanities at Wesleyan University.

Henry Louis Gates, Jr is the Alphonse Fletcher University Professor and Director of the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University.

Caleb Zakarin is the Assistant Editor of the New Books Network

What A Day - (Don’t) Bank On It

Following the sudden collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, the federal government has taken drastic action to protect the financial system, and to make the bank's depositors whole. Business and tech journalist Jo Ling Kent joins us to discuss the backlash from both sides of the political aisle about the intervention — and whether or not it was technically a “bailout.”

And in headlines: Donald Trump’s one-time lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen testified before a New York grand jury investigating the former president, the Biden administration approved a controversial oil drilling project on Alaska's Northern Slope, and a 5,000 mile-wide blob of seaweed is slowly making its way toward Florida’s gulf coast.
