More or Less: Behind the Stats - How many butterflies are there in the world?

Butterflies are a much-loved feature of summer in many parts of the world. But how many of them are there on Earth?

That?s the question a young listener to More or Less wanted an answer to ? and she couldn?t find the answer no matter how hard she searched the internet.

Presenter Daniel Gordon enlists Professor Jane Hill, a butterfly expert at York University, England, who?s also President of the Royal Entomological Society, to try and help solve the mystery.

He also consults Holly Mynott, International Officer of Butterfly Conservation, who describes the techniques used to run The Big Butterfly Count in the UK ? the biggest event of its kind in the world.

This Machine Kills - 276. China’s Zombie Economy and Capital Crackdown

We start with a visit to that smart city we all love, New Orleans, and see how the police department’s facial recognition surveillance is going. Then we revisit China, this time to lay out the broader conditions of its zombie economy and attempts by the state to reassert its power over capital by enforcing discipline on the tech and real estate sector, and giving them strong guidance about how they can work to better serve the state’s interest. We discuss this further in the context of China’s antitrust crackdown on tech companies—we might be envious of the means, but we should be wary of the goals. Stuff we reference ••• NOPD use of facial recognition leads to zero arrests in nine months https://veritenews.org/2023/07/26/nopd-use-of-facial-recognition-leads-to-zero-arrests-in-nine-months/ ••• Zombie Economy https://newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/zombie-economy ••• Why Is China’s Economy Stumbling? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/10/opinion/china-economy-decline.html ••• What Comes Next as China’s Tech Crackdown Winds Down https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-24/what-s-next-as-china-s-tech-crackdown-winds-down#xj4y7vzkg Subscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).

Consider This from NPR - Fighting Noise Pollution

A growing body of research makes it clear that noise pollution can have severely harmful impacts on our health. It has been tied to heart disease and thousands of premature deaths around the world.

Still, our communities seem to get louder and louder. Some people are fighting back - pushing for more regulation and quieter cities.

NPR's Pien Huang takes a sonic tour of Providence, Rhode Island with researcher Erica Walker and talks about noise pollution solutions with Jamie Banks the founder and president of Quiet Communities, and New York City Council member Gale Brewer.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

The Gist - To Sound The Maui Sirens?

Herman Andaya, Maui’s emergency chief decided not to sound sirens before the fires scorched Lahaina, which seems like an obvious mistake. But all the officials agreed, to do so would have been a contradiction of policy ... and perhaps a dangerous one. Andaya was pushed out anyway, though he was, to some extent, the author of his own fate. And how much was Barbenheimer Hollywood's salvation? We talk franchise movies and box office with John Campea. And superheroes aren't the only ones failing to deliver the goods. Superconductors—at least room temperature ones—remain works of fiction.
