Consider This from NPR - ‘Double disapprovers’ could decide the election. Here’s what they say

With the presidential election approaching, some voters are wondering how we again ended up with Donald Trump and Joe Biden as the presumptive nominees.

CrowdScience - How fast can a raindrop cross the globe?

CrowdScience listener Eleanor was lying in bed one rainy evening, listening to the radio. She lives in New Zealand, but happened to hear a weather forecast that told her it was raining in the UK too.

She started wondering: could it be the same rain falling there and outside her window in New Zealand? Can a raindrop really travel all the way around the world?

There are a number of routes the droplet could take, including traveling as moisture in the air. Presenter Caroline Steel meets meteorologist Kei Yoshimura, who puts his powerful weather simulation to work plotting the raindrop’s journey through the sky.

What if the raindrop falls along the way and gets trapped? Where might it end up? Hydrologist Marc Bierkens talks Caroline through the detours it could take, ranging from short stop-offs in plant stems to extremely long delays in deep groundwater.

Finally, could the drop of water make it to New Zealand by circulating through the world’s ocean currents? Oceanographer Kathy Gunn maps the droplet’s path through the ocean – and explains how climate change might affect its journey.

Featuring: Prof. Kei Yoshimura, Professor of Isotope Meteorology, University of Tokyo Prof. Marc Bierkens, Professor of Earth Surface Hydrology at Utrecht University Dr. Kathy Gunn, Lecturer in Climate Sciences at the University of Southampton

CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: How Coinbase Might Bring 1 Billion People On-Chain Using Its Smart Wallet

Coinbase has launched its new smart wallet with partners such as DeFi lending protocol Moonwell, offering them freebies they can pass onto consumers to get more people on-chain. 


Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.

Coinbase’s “on-chain summer” has kicked off with the launch of its new smart wallet. This interview with Luke Youngblood, founding contributor to Moonwell, gives a peek at how it’s sweetening the pot for developers and users alike. 

In this episode, Youngblood describes how smart wallets are different from traditional wallets, how they do away with past security issues, and the more minor potential risks that still do exist with smart wallets. He also gives details on the ways that Coinbase is trying to use its smart wallet to get users on-chain: making it much easier to transact on-chain directly from their Coinbase accounts, subsidizing gas costs for certain dapps, and making sure everything is web-accessible. 

Plus, he explains why Moonwell chose Base, how it is branching out to non-crypto native DeFi users, such as populations that only have mobile phones and not desktop computers in geographies like Africa, Latin America, and Asia, and how the DeFi lending protocol differentiates itself from bigger ones that have established a beachhead on Base. 


Show highlights:

  • How smart wallets differ from traditional wallets and embedded wallets
  • Why Luke is excited to be working with Coinbase smart wallet
  • What happens if the user loses the device linked to their smart wallet
  • How hard it would be for a hacker to try to get access to the assets in this smart wallet
  • How Coinbase is initially paying for user gas fees on dapps like Moonwell and other launch partners
  • How Coinbase’s Magic Spend feature enables users to transact onchain straight from their Coinbase accounts
  • How Coinbase might keep paying gas fees for some dapps even after the initial launch period
  • Why the smart wallet is also accessible via the web, and not just through an app
  • Why Moonwell has focused on lending and borrowing
  • Why Moonwell chose to build on Base as opposed to, say, Solana
  • Moonwell’s plans to grow 
  • How having access to Coinbase’s user base changes Moonwell’s strategy for attracting users
