The Intelligence from The Economist - New school Thais: a military establishment voted out

Largely thanks to young, liberal citizens, a reformist third party won the most seats in Thailand’s general election. But a powerful army and influential incumbents could look to prevent its leader, Pita Limjaroenrat, taking charge. Bureaucracy is getting in the way of America’s international aid programme. And, with the help of DNA sequencing, a new ocean survey is on the hunt for 100,000 new species.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S8 E5: Nikita Federov, Qase

Nikita Fedorov has been a tech guy all his life. He loves physics, and eventually decided to try out being a developer, starting out with PHP and doing it for 7 years. Eventually, he moved into leadership and management of engineering teams. Outside of tech, he into his side projects and playing video games, of which is favorite is the game Dark Souls.

While he was an engineering manager, Nikita went looking for a good suite of tools to support manual testing. All of the tools he found were archaic, and looked like they came from the days of the mainframe. He decided to start building a tool that met his own need... and people liked it.

This is the creation story of Qase.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Moneyball and the Rise of Advanced Statistics in Sports

Ever since organized sports began, people have been collecting statistics. 

These statistics were originally collected to let people know what happened during a game they might have missed. 

However, over time, these statistics became more and more sophisticated, and they eventually began dictating how the games themselves were to be played by uncovering truths that were overlooked.

Learn more about Moneyball and the rise of statistics in sports on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Victoria Bateman, “Naked Feminism: Breaking the Cult of Female Modesty” (Polity Press, 2023)

Is it right that, despite the promises of feminism, women’s bodies remain at the mercy of state, society and religion? Should a scantily clad woman, or a promiscuous one, be worth less than a fully covered woman, or a chaste one? Are being sexy and being smart really mutually exclusive? Can a woman be both body and brain? Dr. Victoria Bateman has confronted these questions with actions as well as words. She has appeared naked on national television, on stage, in art and at protests – using her body, as well as her brain, to deliver her message.

In Naked Feminism: Breaking the Cult of Female Modesty (Polity/Wiley, 2023), Dr. Bateman makes a compelling case for women’s bodily freedom, and explains why the current puritanical revival is so dangerous for women. Illustrating the swinging pendulum of bodily modesty through the ages, she takes us on a journey from the ancient civilisations of Egypt and Babylon, through the birth of Christianity and Islam, to the lax morals of the medieval period and the bawdiness of Chaucer and Shakespeare; to the clampdowns of the Puritans and later the Victorians and, more recently, to the re-veiling of the Middle East and the purity pledges of modern-day America. She ends with a plea: feminists must unite to challenge the repression of the female body, as only then can women be truly free.

This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
